BALLER MOVE: Start in all 2-QB leagues, as well as deep 1-QB leagues Owned in 23% of leagues on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I know. You might all be saying, “But Nathan, Fitzy hasn’t thrown for over 300 yards once this year! And he has seven interceptions on the year! How can I trust him?” Simply put, […]
Full Story »Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues Owned in 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Reggie who? Theo Riddick has made a name for himself in two of the past three weeks as a dangerous pass catching weapon out of the backfield. Against the Falcons swiss-cheese defense, he hauled in 8 catches for 74 yards […]
Full Story »Clay Harbor (TE, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Streamer for Week 9 in 12+ team leagues (PPR) 11% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Clay Harbor is my streamer and deep-league choice of the week. Harbor will be facing a Cincinnati Bengals defense which has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, and which generally struggles against the pass (ranked 23rd). Harbor has shown […]
Full Story »Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I advised adding Allen Robinson last week, and those who listened to me were handsomely rewarded. Robinson once again led the Jaguars in targets with 10, and cashed five of those in for 82 yards and a long […]
Full Story »Tim Wright (TE, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues, continue monitoring in shallower formats 17% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Wright is someone I'd reserve for deeper leagues. Last week, he showed what he is capable of (seven catches for 61 yards and a TD), but the problem is that he hasn't got a lot of opportunity. Over the season, he's received […]
Full Story »Donte Moncrief (WR, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues Owned in 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I was extremely excited to see what Moncrief would do in Reggie Wayne‘s absence, and he delivered. This guy is exceptionally talented, and his performance in Week 8 backed that up. I’m not sure what Wayne’s status for the coming week is, but I […]
Full Story »Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Owned in 57% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This week, my number one tight end recommendation off the waiver wire is Larry Donnell. He's coming off a bye week and should be refreshed. With that extra rest, Donnell will be playing a Colts defense that allowed 112 yards and a TD to Heath Miller last week. Donnell […]
Full Story »Brandon LaFell (WR, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 40% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Patriots haven’t had a legitimate sideline threat since Randy Moss, and while I’m not saying LaFell is even in the same ballpark as “The Freak”, he has been incredibly valuable in Tom Brady’s rejuvenated aerial attack. LaFell pulled in all 11 of his […]
Full Story »Lorenzo Taliaferro (RB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues Owned in 13% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: It’s clear that the Ravens won’t be using Justin Forsett in goal line opportunities this year, as Bernard Pierce stole touchdowns in week’s 6 and 7, while Taliaferro stole two this week. With Pierce being hugely ineffective, Lorenzo Taliaferro got his shot and delivered big time in week […]

Full Story »Alex Smith (QB, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Stream in Week 9 Owned in 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In recent weeks, Alex Smith has been quietly impressive in nearly all of his performances.
