Week 12 Monday Night Football Analysis: Javorius Allen, Gary Barnidge, Matt Schaub

This is a matchup that doesn't offer much in terms of real life implications. Both teams have had rough seasons and have 26 guys either on injured reserve or that are just out for this game. The players left are a giant pile of fantasy potential just waiting to be sorted through to find that […]

Javorius "Buck" Allen the Back to Add in Baltimore

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Forsett out for the year, Javorius Allen is likely to get first crack at the job - if it doesn't turn into a committee. I make that distinction because Allen wasn't a college player that seemed like he'd make a successful NFL […]

Week 11 Busts For Fantasy Football: Joe Flacco, Eric Decker, T.Y. Hilton, and the Buffalo Defense

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) The Ravens' offense has to be among the most boring in all of football. I mean it. Kamar Aiken, Chris Givens and Marlon Brown are some of the least exciting players in the league. Justin Forsett is a short-yardage collector with one single run of over 25 yards. Tight ends Crockett Gilmore […]

Crockett Gillmore: Invest in Flacco's Best Redzone Option

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He won’t be the most consistent option for fantasy owners, but he has a decent amount of upside in a Baltimore offense that doesn’t really have any dominant force on it. He turned in four receptions for 42 yards and a […]

Chris Givens: Coming Into His Own

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Most owners are going to be flocking to Kamar Aiken since he is the de facto #1 receiver for the Ravens nowadays. While Aiken is definitely worth your, don't let Chris Givens just fall through the cracks if you're speculating or […]

Crockett Gillmore Trending Up in Baltimore

BALLER  MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The targets are up for grabs in Baltimore! With Steve Smith sidelined for the season, and with the Ravens lacking depth and talent at wide receiver (to put it mildly), the door is open for Gillmore to become Joe Flacco’s second-favorite pass […]

Chris Givens Fitting Nicely into New Role

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The post-Steve Smith era has begun in Baltimore, with Kamar Aiken doing his best impersonation for the rest of 2015. Aiken dominated the targets (14), but it's who came in second who has our interest. Chris Givens filled into the number two role […]

Week 11 Deeper Sleepers - The Brock Oswiler Era and Why You Should Consider Justin Perillo

Welcome back RotoBallers. Same rules as always - in this column we will be looking at NFL players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. These players can be sneaky fantasy football lineup sleepers for Week 11, as you consider adding players off the waiver wire and optimizing your fantasy football lineups. Week 10 was a […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire - Week 11 Pickups and Adds: Ertz, Gillmore and Celek

The final week of teams being on bye is here, and fantasy owners are celebrating like Rex Ryan did when his Buffalo Bills beat the New York Jets last Thursday. Two of the biggest tight end surprises in fantasy football this season, New Orleans’ Benjamin Watson and Cleveland’s Gary Barnidge, are the top two tight […]

Kamar Aiken Is a Reliable FLEX Option

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kamar Aiken's value continues to show through his FLEX floor. Still putting up a six point game in any week he has at least 6 targets, Aiken is just a touchdown away from having a WR2 week in any given matchup. He's going to […]

Week 10 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Blake Bortles, Theo Riddick, Rueben Randle & More!

Here we go, into the double digit weeks already. Week 10 is here and ready to make dreams come true. We're here because there is plenty of value calling far down on the player lists in DraftKings' player pool. There are a few big games this week with high projected point totals that we'll want […]

Chris Givens Could See an Increase in Targets

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While Kamar Aiken is largely expected to be the man to fill the void left after Steve Smith's injury, Givens has plenty of upside worth talking about. Before Baltimore's bye week, Givens showed up nicely, catching three balls for 57 yards. While he had […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 10: Beasley, Johnson, Washington and More

Week 9 is in the books, and to say that it was a crazy one would be an understatement. Antonio Brown was nearly record breaking, while we saw quite a few hot potential waiver wire wide receivers step up as well. Brown was the talking point, but there are a few players who you could […]

Kamar Aiken Should Receive the Bulk of the Targets Going Forward

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leauges OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kamar Aiken was here last week, and he's going to be here again this week since the bye didn't help his ownership. Aiken has had at least 60 yards in all three games that Steve Smith was unable to finish along with 1 […]

Chris Givens Worth a Look as Smith Sr. Replacement

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It was truly heart wrenching to see Steve Smith Sr.'s career potentially end due to a ruptured Achilles Tendon on Sunday. A true warrior and pretty much Joe Flacco's main option in the passing game this season. Things continue to get worse […]

Give Crockett Gillmore Some More Fantasy Love

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Just like Chris Givens and Kamar Aiken, Crockett Gillmore should benefit from the loss of Steve Smith Sr. Tight ends are sparse and although Gillmore hasn't had a relevant fantasy day aside from Week 2, he should now be Flacco's top endzone […]

Week 8 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

The amount of injuries during Week 8 was an absolute nightmare for fantasy owners. Obviously all kinds of injuries are terrible, but when you’re talking about a slew of fantasy superstars, the results are pretty devastating. Since there were so many players that went down, it’s best that we focus on the bigger and more immediate […]

Kamar Aiken Is the Number One Wideout in Baltimore

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This isn't the way anyone wanted to see Steve Smith Sr. end his football career. Having another great year, Smith unfortunately will have his final season before retirement end on the heels of an achilles injury. One of football's most under-appreciated players hopefully […]

Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 9: Aiken, Floyd, Wilson and More

Week 8 was filled with a few brutal injuries that have left players sidelined for either the remainder of 2015, or at least for quite a few weeks. While we could list off a long run of players who suffered tough injuries, we'll just keep those guys in our thoughts and take a look at […]

Week 8 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Here we go again folks. If you want to just scroll a bit to the picks, be my guest, but first I want to briefly touch on the DFS trends of late as well as some more chalky plays. Week 8 is here and for the sake of consistency I'll stick with the tournaments that […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 8: The Early Games

It’s starting to become money time in fantasy land – the time for mistakes has passed. If you’re locked in a race for the playoffs right now, the last thing you need is to leave points on the bench or place faith in a guy who is destined to put up a dud. While it’s […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

The Ravens have struggled this year (1-6), even though they have been in position to win almost every game. Joe Flacco hasn't lived up to his clutch reputation and has thrown three picks in drives that could have tied or won the game. But Flacco (61% owned) should still be on fantasy rosters in almost […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has had to navigate some pretty treacherous waters recently with most of his crew below deck nursing their respective ailments. Missing Steve Smith hurt Flacco dearly, and then Crockett Gillmore also missed some action and Justin Forsett was playing […]

Kamar Aiken (WR, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Breshad Perriman out indefinitely with his PCL injury requiring more rehabilitation, Aiken is in line to continue seeing snaps for Baltimore. He is still lining up as the primary #2 receiver for the Ravens after Steve Smith returned to action, […]

Week 7 Monday Night Football Analysis: Fantasy Matchups We Love and Hate

Monday Night Matchups Analysis Ravens @ Cardinals Players we love: Justin Forsett, RB, Ravens - Forsett has come on strong the last three weeks after I began thinking it's time to give him "one hit wonder" status. The Ravens have had an abysmal start to the season (1-5) but whenever they manage to stay in […]

Week 7 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Between bye weeks, injuries and unforeseen performance issues, it sometimes takes some digging to find players that you will be able to add to your lineups for instant offense, or those which you should avoid playing if you have better options. Below are my Week 7 lineup picks for players that can be booms and […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers for Week 7: Brandon Oliver, Stefon Diggs, Crockett Gillmore

Six weeks are in the books and a trend has already appeared in my weekly picks. It appears that the majority of my picks decide to break out a couple weeks after I select them as my deep sleeper for a particular week. For instance, in Week 1, Benjamin Watson was selected as a potential […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 7 Pickups and Adds

No Tyler Eifert, no Martellus Bennett, no Richard Rodgers…no problem? Four more teams are on bye this week, so fantasy owners are scrambling like Russell Wilson to fill in their blanks at the tight end position.  And with Eifert (342 yards, six TD), Bennett (292 yards, two TD) and Rodgers (189, two TD) having the […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 6 saw quite a few notable players go down and miss some action, causing other guys to rack up some numbers that might be a genuine indicator of future output, or misleading. We saw Jeremy Maclin (concussion), Keenan Allen (hip), Sammy Watkins (ankle), Allen Robinson (knee), and others leave their games early. This meant […]
