Last week I was only 1 for 2 in streaming picks. I'm throwing out Johnny Manziel of course, since Mike Pettine decided to go with Josh McCown. Nick Foles did not deliver against a weak secondary. That hasn't phased me though, as I'm still happy to stream against the Steelers when given the opportunity. With that […]

Full Story »San Diego Chargers (DEF, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Week 4 Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This isn't anyone's first choice as far as defenses go, but the Cleveland Browns aren't very good. With Josh McCown as the starter, the Cleveland Browns are basically a time bomb for a three interception game. The Chargers have one of the most underrated (and sort of underperforming) […]
Full Story »Jordan Reed (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't know if Reed has just been ignored due to his heavy injury history, but he's always shown that when he's on the field he will produce. Well, that's what's been happening the last three weeks. Reed has yet to have a game under eight […]
Full Story »Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There's always a great feeling that comes from picking a player with less than 5% ownership, watching them explode the following week, and then being able to write about that player again. After a six catch 115 yard game against Jacksonville, Matthews punched in another six […]
Full Story »Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team / All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Sometimes you see a player on the waiver wire and you go, wait, what? What are they doing there? Marvin Jones is one of those players. Somehow he has less ownership than Rueben Randle, despite already breaking out just over a year […]
Full Story »Thomas Rawls (RB, SEA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: For the first time in a long, long time - here is a Seahawks running back that has received a lot of positive off-season hype, and might actually pay off. Thomas Rawls was a UDFA that the Seahawks coaches just would not stop talking about over […]
Full Story »Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team / All Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Derek Carr started the season poorly with an injury in Week 1 that led to his Raiders getting completely romped by the Bengals. Three weeks in and that's a game of the past, with Carr demoralizing what should have been a dominant Ravens defense, […]
Full Story »Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Look, I'm going to keep talking about Taylor until his ownership beats 50%. This man is a QB1 right now. He's the 3rd highest scoring QB this week (at time of writing) after finishing last week as the 6th highest scoring. The only leagues where he even has […]
Full Story »Eagles Seeking Replacement for Kicker Cody Parkey
According to Fox Sports' Alex Marvez, Philadelphia Eagles kicker Cody Parkey re-aggravated a groin injury against the New York Jets on Sunday. The injury must be serious enough to keep him off of the field for a little while, because the Eagles have brought in several kickers for tryouts. Parkey is scheduled to have an […]
Full Story »Week 4 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers
Sample size, sample size, sample size. You hear fantasy pundits mutter this phrase constantly during the early weeks of the season. What exactly does it mean though? Simply put, having a small sample size means that we don't have enough information to make accurate predictions about a player's future performance. For running backs, this often […]
Full Story »Drew Brees Expects to Play in Week 4 Against Cowboys
Drew Brees expects to suit up and start for the New Orleans Saints against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Brees said he was "very optimistic" about playing the Cowboys in a radio interview on Monday morning. Brees missed Week 3 due to a bruised rotator cuff. Since backup Luke McCown played well in his […]
Full Story »Breshad Perriman Droppable in Redraft Leagues
It's hard to feel sorry for an overrated and overpaid quarterback who already has a Super Bowl ring. But with that said, the Ravens have put quarterback Joe Flacco in a tough spot this season. Other than Steve Smith Sr., Flacco has nobody to throw the football too. Sure, he was supposed to have first-round […]
Full Story »Make Room in Your Lineups for Andre Ellington's Return
Hopefully Chris Johnson enjoyed his big week as the Arizona Cardinals starting running back on Sunday when he had over 100 yards and two touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers, because he'll be back on bench duty next week. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians told the media following the game that Andre Ellington is expected back […]
