Three Bounce Back Candidates for 2016

You always want to buy low in fantasy football, and one of the best ways to buy low with a high ceiling in a range of outcomes is to target star players coming off of disappointing seasons.

2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Quarterback Tyrod Taylor

Coming into 2015 season, the Bills did not know who their starting quarterback would be. E.J. Manuel was the Bills first round selection in 2013, and many thought if he was ever going to have a chance in the league, he had to take the job for good in his third season. Matt Cassel was […]

2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Wide Receiver Sammie Coates

Sammie Coates had only one regular season catch in 2015, and he did not start one game until Antonio Brown went down with a concussion in the playoffs.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most fantasy owners and pundits probably assumed that Baltimore’s pass offense would go down the drain faster than your mother-in-law’s cold onion soup once Joe Flacco suffered his season-ending injury.  But journeymen backups Jimmy Clausen and Ryan Mallett have amazingly not allowed […]

Week 17 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Zach Ertz, Vance McDonald and Maxx Williams

Although Week 17 can be as unpredictable as global-warmed weather due to teams shutting players down either for the playoffs or to spare them from needless injury in meaningless games, there are still some fantasy leagues out there that use the last week of the NFL season as their fantasy Super Bowl.

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games. I will say, however, that outside of a few exceptions, most of the replacement level players won’t be […]

Week 15 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick & A.J. McCarron

I hope you made it through your first playoff matchup or advanced into the playoffs in Week 14! Unfortunately the QB streams were pretty disappointing. Tyrod Taylor delivered a decent game that meets our standards but it was still underwhelming given the matchup. In a huge surprise, Jameis Winston totally flopped on what should have […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 14: Jameis Winston, Devonta Freeman, Randall Cobb & More!

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 and 16 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As the number three option on a struggling offense led by a backup quarterback, it's tough to recommend Chris Givens for anything but the deepest of leagues.

Javorius Allen Turning the Volume Up

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 56% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Still available on just under half of all waiver wires, Allen is proving to be a much better player than expected- kinda.
