Jay Ajayi (RB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Halfway through the second game of the regular season, Arian Foster's groin betrays him again. Jay Ajayi took over lead running duties and promptly fumbled the ball. Although his final line wasn't impressive (five carries for 14 yards, four receptions for 31 […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Any damage Ryan Tannehill has done so far this season came during garbage time in New England in Week 2. However, a home match-up with the Browns in Week 3 may cure those blues. Over the first two weeks, Cleveland has surrendered […]

Jordan Cameron (TE, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stream in 12-team leagues Owned in: 32% of FleaFlicker leagues Analysis: I am not completely sold on Cameron since his 49 yards and a TD against New England came after Ryan Tannehill through the ball about 700 times.  That said, Cameron gets to run patterns against the hapless Cleveland this upcoming week, and Miami has five of […]

Week 3 NFL Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Welcome to the third installment of the Waiver Wire weekly series for the 2016 fantasy football season.

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 3 Pickups & Adds

The slump for tight ends luckily lasted just one week. Tight ends had a nice turnaround in Week 2 after no tight end had more than 75 receiving yards in any Week 1 game, but that does not mean that fantasy owners won't be scouring their league’s waiver wires for help this week. If anything it means […]

BALLER MOVE: Own in All Leagues OWNED IN: 89% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Dolphins offense line looked somewhat better than it was last year, but that's not a high bar.
