Last week, we examined three veterans that have managed to dramatically exceed their preseason expectations, a class of player that is disproportionately likely to bust the next year. This week, we look at another class of player likely to bust: The highly touted prospect that puts up strong MLB numbers in a limited sample size. […]
Full Story »Crockett Gilmore (TE, BAL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After the drafting of Maxx Williams, it seemed like the TE spot was settled in to a "no value" zone - there hasn't been a rookie TE with fantasy value for a long, long time. Suddenly, here comes Crockett Gilmore stealing the starting […]
Full Story »Nick Foles (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Foles didn’t work out against the Redskins in Week 2, but the Steelers have been absolutely crushed by quarterbacks in the first two weeks of the fantasy football season. The Steelers are dead last in pass coverage, as graded by Pro Football Focus, […]
Full Story »Rishard Matthews (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There was a lot of talk about this offense entering the season - from how great the weapons looked, to Tannehill's continuing development. Within this large pool of receivers, one of the players that got lost in the mix was Rishard Matthews. […]
Full Story »Blake Bortles (QB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 21% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: On Sunday, Bortles had one of the best games of his young career in a win over the Dolphins. He played a mistake-free game, and most importantly he wasn’t sacked a single time. This was especially surprising considering Bortles had been sacked […]
Full Story »James Starks (RB, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The severity of Eddie Lacy's injury is not fully known right now - but assuming he does miss any time at all, Starks becomes a must own. You can't not take the chance on a running back in an Aaron Rodgers offense, even if […]
Full Story »Johnny Manziel (QB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Manziel’s Week 2 performance versus the Tennessee Titans was a strange but pleasant surprise. Manziel didn’t have any big runs, but found Travis Benjamin deep for two separate 50 yard+ touchdowns. That combined with no interceptions gave Manziel a serviceable fantasy day. […]
Full Story »New York Giants (DEF, NYG) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add as Week 3 Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington has been surprisingly not terrible since the start of the season. But it is, at it's heart, an incredibly under-staffed offense with a very turnover prone QB. Kirk Cousins has only been able to stay interception free in five of the 17 games he's […]

If you managed to weather the storm of Week Two’s brutal injuries and dud performances to the tune of a win, congratulations.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Quality relievers are hard to come by this late in the season but Tom Wilhelmsen finds himself in a pretty good spot for fantasy owners to take advantage. Any chance Wilhelmsen has gotten a chance to close with any consistency he has […]
Full Story »Addison Reed (RP,NYM) - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in all SVHLD Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Mets have seemed to figure out their hitting issues they had earlier this year and they also have a firm grip on the strength that is their rotation. But who would have ever thought that Addison Reed would be a […]
Full Story »Angel Pagan (OF,SFG) - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Angel Pagan is healthy right now and even though that seems like a rarity he is a must play while he is sitting atop the San Francisco Giants lineup. Pagan has shown off his health by stealing bases like fantasy owners knew […]
Full Story »Jean Segura (SS,MIL) - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Segura has had an overall disappointing campaign that makes his seemingly breakout work in 2013 seem like a distant memory.

BALLER MOVE: Worth a look in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I know many people just read the name Darrius Heyward-Bey and their eyes glaze over.
