Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR / Deeper Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 9 wasn’t exactly mind-blowing for Allen Robinson, as Allen Hurns gathered the counting stats. However, Blake Bortles did still look Robinson’s way eight times, and didn’t play all that well, missing Robinson on some throws. I have faith in Robinson as […]
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.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues or Deeper Owned in 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Storm Johnson failed in his opportunity to be the starter, and in Week 7 it was Denard Robinson who got the chance.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues Owned in 47% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts finally looked 100% in Week 6, as he’d been crippled by a hamstring injury for the first part of the season.

Blake Bortles (QB, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All 2 QB Leagues / Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 23% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Though I find Bortles a bit over-hyped, he has a decent matchup this week and has legitimate value vs. the secondary that blew a big second half lead to Mike Glennon.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues 4% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: To know how much I dislike Toby Gerhart all you have to do is read this article I wrote a few weeks ago.

Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues / Very Deep Standard Leagues Owned in 14% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Oh look at that, Cecil Shorts aggravated an injury.

He’s still behind the unquestioned number one WR Cecil Shorts, but alongside fellow rookie Allen Robinson he’ll have plenty of opportunities to establish himself. He is a freakish […]
