What To Do With Eddie Lacy, C.J. Anderson and Jeremy Hill?

As we draw nearer to the fantasy football playoffs season, it's becoming increasingly more important to make sure that your rosters are as solid as possible.  Owners need to consider exploring trade options to ensure that their playoff rosters are at full strength. This year has been a frustrating year for many fantasy owners.  Several […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 10

Last week was one of my best weeks picking. Not only did my three teams win, but they all covered the spread. This week features much easier games, with heavy favorites. The Jets open the week hosting the Bills in the much overhyped "Rex Ryan returning to New York" game. There are four divisional games, […]

Look to Owen Daniels if You're Desperate at TE

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Denver Broncos did not trade for former San Francisco 49er Vernon Davis because they wanted to run a ton of three-tight sets or because Daniels was having such a superb season (more like subpar) and wanted the twosome to team up.  Make […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 10 Pickups and Adds

Fantasy football gets a little more back to normal this week after owners had to suffer through a bye week where a half-dozen teams were off. You're probably not sweating as much this week with your Tight End. San Diego’s Antonio Gates is the most valuable tight end that is off, and most of the quality […]

Peyton Manning and Eli Manning: Evaluating the Brothers From Here on Out

Peyton and Eli Manning are the most successful brothers in the history of the NFL, but at this stage of their respective careers, they are heading in separate directions. At one point in his career, it would have been laughable to even consider sitting Peyton in a fantasy league. On the other hand, his brother […]

Daily Divide: Week Nine DFS picks

Daily Divide: Week Nine Matt and Nathan each offer Week 9 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted.

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids (Week 9)

Half the football season is in the books. For the first time ever we have four 7-0 football teams. Nine teams are on bye this week; Cardinals, Chiefs, Lions, Ravens, Seahawks, and Texans. For those of you unfamiliar with survivor pools it’s very simple; pick a team to win each week, if they win you […]

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 […]

Can Peyton Manning Resurrect Vernon Davis' Career?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: That's right, Vernon Davis is now a Bronco.

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 6: The Early Games

It’s hard to believe that it’s already Week 6 and the NFL season is nearly a third of the way over. The fantasy football season is nearly halfway over, with the majority of postseasons beginning on Week 13 or 14. Whether you’re 0-5, 5-0, or anywhere in between at this point, you still have a […]

Buy Low/Sell High for Fantasy Football Week 6 (Part 2)

The waiver wire isn't the only place to change the course of your team. The right trade can make or break your season. The key is to buy low on cold players, then swap them out once they get hot and their value skyrockets. Everyone knows this method, but that doesn't mean you still can't […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 6)

Everyone was doubting the Bears last week. Not me. I wrote, "I see this being a really close game and a possible upset special pick." If you avoided them and the Ravens, congrats. I thought the Ravens would kill the Browns and when they were up 21-9 it seemed over. The Ravens defense is so bad, […]

Peyton Manning Struggles vs Raiders

Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning threw for 266 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's win vs the Oakland Raiders.  Manning threw his sixth and seventh interceptions of the season, which is one more than than his total for touchdowns on the season.  Both interceptions were made by 39-year-old veteran cornerback Charles Woodson, who […]

Ronnie Hillman Set to Explode in Increased Role

The Denver Broncos backfield has been in flux for years, and it looks like things are about to shift once again. Although CJ Anderson came into the season as the #1 running back, Ronnie Hillman has clearly been the better back so far this season. If you trust the words of head coach Gary Kubiak, […]

Week 5 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Last week was our first journey into the bye weeks, with the Pats and Titans getting some rest. But this week, we have four teams sitting out (Dolphins, Jets, Vikings, and Panthers). This is causing some fantasy owners to dig a little deeper for start/bench decisions and plug and play options. I am here to try […]

Week 5 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

So you probably noticed that Week 4 felt a lot more "normal" compared to that Week 3 carnival of points. Unless you double dipped on Devonta Freeman, in which case we should be best friends and talk a lot on Saturdays. Week 5 looks to have a plenty of studs in A+ matchups - which […]

Cody Latimer Ruled Out for Broncos

Denver Broncos wide receiver Cody Latimer has been ruled out for the team's Week 5 matchup against the Oakland Raiders. The young receiver suffered a groin injury against the Minnesota Vikings last week. Latimer has every little fantasy football value, especially in redraft leagues. When the Broncos took Latimer with their second round pick in […]

Owen Daniels (DEN, TE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues / Matchup Stream (FAAB Bid: $3 - 5) OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Owen Daniels has now put together back to back games with a touchdown, and while the volume doesn't make you feel comfortable, he does get to face the Oakland Raiders in Week 5. No […]

Ronnie Hillman Needs To Be Added In All Leagues

We've heard about Hillman's big play potential since he entered the league, but when you look at his game log for the past three seasons you would never know about it. Long runs of 31, 19, and 37 yards from 2012-14 respectively, Hillman just hasn't broken off the big one very often/ever. That all changed […]

Week 5 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

It's time to come clean. Time for a little honesty around here. Time to pay the piper if you will. Up until this week, up until the writing of this very column, I haven't been particularly excited about many running back waiver wire adds so far this season. My "Cream of the Crop" adds in […]

Ronnie Hillman (RB, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's surprising how low this ownership is. C.J. Anderson shows no hold on his starting job as he's been plodding his way to an unspectacular 2015 season. Meanwhile, Hillman started coming around this week showing much better running than Anderson, even outside of his big 72 yard […]

Ronnie Hillman The New Starter Over C.J. Anderson In Denver?

Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson both saw 11 carries in Week 4 versus the Minnesota Vikings, but once again Hillman outplayed Anderson. Taken as a 1st or 2nd round pick this year in fantasy drafts, Anderson has been a big disappointment - and now it looks like Hillman's role will continue to expand moving forward […]

Ronnie Hillman Outplays C.J. Anderson Again

For the third time in four games Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson has been outplayed by Ronnie Hillman.  So, does this mean that Anderson is no longer the lead back for the Broncos? If I was to take an educated guess I would say Hillman is the starter next week. Currently Anderson is sporting a […]

My Top 10 Potential Busts for Week 4

Listen, not every column can be sunshine and rainbows.  We can tell you all about how Julio Jones will score 30 points because he's Julio Jones and of course he will.  Sometimes, you just have to face the grim reality that the players you drafted aren't as good as you thought they'd be (for me, […]

Peyton Manning (QB, DEN) - Week 4 Lineup Busts

Surprise! There's a QB who's been even bustier than Andrew Luck this season - I just now realized that was a terrible way to phrase that and good luck getting THAT mental image out of your head. Peyton "Fivehead" Manning and Andrew "Secretly a Cave Troll" Luck in a wet T-shirt contest. Ugh. Uuuuuuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhh. Turns out […]

C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Another year of fantasy, another year of not knowing what to make of the Denver backfield. It feels like we do this every September--we talk about how this is an offense that likes to utilize one specific back and how much fantasy value they’ll have with Peyton Manning under center. We eventually settle on one […]
