It was a slow week for prospect call-ups, but two potential difference makers were called up to their major league squads. Both are widely available. Like 99% available. If you are in a very deep format or a dynasty league and are looking to add high-ceiling depth to your roster, keep these two players in mind. Editor’s […]

Full Story »Eddie Royal (WR, CHI) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Without Kevin White this week, Eddie Royal becomes the clear #3 option in the Bears passing attack (he may already have been) behind Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett. In a game where points are likely to be plenty, I’m willing to bet on Royal […]
Full Story »Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m more-so buying Coleman for his situation rather than his hype as a player. Coleman went undrafted this past year, but was scooped up by one of the most intriguing passing offenses in the NFL, the Saints. They then shippedJimmy Graham and Kenny Stills out of […]
Full Story »Knile Davis (RB, KC) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in All Leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Only Ryan Mathews rivals Davis as a handcuff for the upcoming season, and that has more to do with Chip Kelly's system than Mathews' talent. In the two games that Jamaal Charles missed (or missed significant time) last season, Davis average 119 total yards […]
Full Story »Matt Jones (RB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (PPR and Standard) OWNED IN: 45% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In case you've been living under a rock, here at RotoBaller we are very high on Matt Jones and have been writing about him ad nauseam for months. Some people may look at this situation and say - he's just a backup or handcuff, and we've […]
Full Story »Benny Cunningham (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Matchup Stream in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: To start the season, the St. Louis Rams are home against the punishing defense of the Seattle Seahawks. At first glance, this may not seem like a good matchup for Cunningham, going against one of the top defenses in the league. However, Cunningham […]
Full Story »Allen Hurns (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Does anyone else remember how last season started for the Jacksonville Jaguars? They pushed the Philadelphia Eagles to the limit in the opener behind the play of Hurns. In his first career game, the former Miami Hurricane blew up for 110 yards and two TDs […]
Full Story »Benjamin Watson (TE, NO) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Again, some people will call this move questionable, but I'll remind you this is only if your team is desperately in need of a spot start. Watson was once relevant in the passing game a long time ago, and had a somewhat valuable fantasy season in […]
Full Story »Brian Quick (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Quick has an awful matchup this week against Richard Sherman, so he’ definitely not someone you want in your starting lineup for Week 1. However, there’s not many more receivers with his type of upside laying on the waiver wire. While his schedule is tough […]
Full Story »Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Marvin Jones missed all of last year with injuries, but offseason reports have been promising, and he was able to expectedly beat out Mohamed Sanu this preseason for the #2 role on the outside. Jones absolutely flourished with the Bengals in his sophomore season, scoring […]
Full Story »Stevie Johnson (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green may miss this week with a concussion. That leaves Malcom Floyd, Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson as the only legitimate weapons for Rivers on the outside. While they don’t have an ideal matchup against the Lions very underrated secondary, I’m willing to […]
Full Story »Terrance West (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: West isn't an especially talented running back, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry behind a very good run blocking Cleveland Browns offensive line. Once again though, this is about opportunity. Titans starting running back, sophomore Bishop Sankey, was equally as mediocre last season with a […]
