BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team 2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston had just about as bad a debut as you can have.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues and as Romo/Brees/Stafford replacement. OWNED IN: 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco did well yesterday in a shootout with the…Oakland Raiders.

Full Story »Week 3 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers
Ohhhhh injuries!!! It's that time of year, already. I'll admit it, the mind of a fantasy football owner is sick.

[…]

Full Story »Week 3 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Nick Foles, Blake Bortles, Johnny Manziel
Let’s start off with a quick Week 2 review, where I was 2-of-3 on my QB wavier wire picks. Colin Kaepernick had a huge day like I expected, and the Steelers secondary continues to look dreadful.
