BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 58% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Quarterback Austin Davis has made it clear that Quick is his number one target among wide receivers, targeting him 14 more times than any other wideout on the team through the first four games.

Full Story »Week 6 Running Back Depth Charts: Updates, Injuries & Stashes
With so much volatility around the NFL given the recent string of injuries, especially to running backs, there have been a lot of changes already with the backfields of many NFL teams. Running backs are a critical component and core building block for all fantasy football teams, so it's important to stay on top of the running back […]
Full Story »Week 6 Risers & Fallers Analysis for Fantasy Football
This weekly column examines ten fantasy football players – five guys that are on the up-and-up, or “risers,” and five guys that are struggling, or “fallers.” You shouldn’t necessarily take these ten players as start/sit sleepers or waiver wire add/drop recommendations, as the analysis here is meant to be more of a gauge for how a fantasy […]
Full Story »Potential Busts for Week 6: Ranking the Top 10 for Fantasy Football
So sometimes you call someone out as a bust and he actually turns out to be a bust (see: Davis, Knile and/or Morris, Alfred). And sometimes you predict someone to be a bust and he ends up breaking his team’s single-game receiving record and scoring over 40 fantasy points (thanks, Demaryius, for making me question […]
Full Story »3 Fantasy Football Players Sending Out Warning Signals in Week 5
Players That Are Making Me Nervous For Week 6 Of course because I finally showed concern about him last week Cam Newton finally had a decent game. However both Cordarrelle Patterson and Pierre Garcon did not have good games as I expected. I'd still be trying to sell on Garcon's name value as fast as possible and […]
Full Story »Benny Cunningham (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues ANALYSIS: After much speculation that Benny Cunningham’s role in the Rams’ offense would increase he finally got his opportunity to show what he could do in week five when Zac Stacy went down with a calf injury. The former undrafted free agent who led the NFL with 5.6 yards […]
Full Story »James Jones (WR, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep, Three Wide Receiver Leagues Owned in 57% of Fleaflicker leages ANALYSIS: James Jones lost a ton of fantasy appeal when he made the transition from Aaron Rodgers throwing him the football to Derek Carr. There is almost no chance of Jones scoring 14 touchdowns, as he did in 2012 with the […]
Full Story »Baltimore Ravens (DEF, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There isn't a much better steaming defense to be bullish on heading into Week 6 of fantasy football action. Ranked as the 8th overall scoring defense (in standard Yahoo formats), this undervalued unit is quietly drawing one of the best matchups as they travel to […]
Full Story »Indianapolis Colts (DEF, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Not traditionally known for their stout defense, the playoff bound Colts are flying under the fantasy football radar for their defense's usefulness. Owned in way too few leagues as evidenced above, they are the featured Thursday night game this week on the road […]
Full Story »Tim Wright (TE, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues / Continue Monitoring in All Leagues Owned in 10% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: My last recommendation is for managers in deeper leagues who are looking for a tight end option off the Week 6 waiver wire. This past week we saw Tim Wright post a fantastic game of […]
Full Story »Louis Murphy (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I told you about Louis Murphy last week on my list of wide receiver sleepers, and I’m going to do it again. With Mike Evans still injured, Murphy is a legitimate plug-and-play wide receiver in deeper leagues, as he […]
