Miami Dolphins Sign Wide Receiver Greg Jennings

After shipping Mike Wallace off to Minnesota, the Miami Dolphins have signed Greg Jennings to a two-year contract worth $8 million. Which essentially means Mike Wallace and Greg Jennings were inadvertently traded for each other via wonky means. The Dolphins have been anything but quiet this off-season, acquiring the likes of star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, tight end […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues OWNDE IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Kickers tend to go under-appreciated in fantasy football.

In […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR leagues/monitor in standard leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Wallace is still the top threat in the Miami passing game, both talent-wise and contract-wise, but Landry has cemented himself as the number two in what is a markedly improved offense.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues / Monitor in Standard Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Landry has been a big part of Ryan Tannehill’s ascent to prominence in the last month.

Daniel Thomas (RB, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (BYE Week Fill-In) Owned in 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With the news of Knowshon Moreno's torn ACL, Daniel Thomas has resumed the role of backup running back for the Dolphins.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All 2 QB Leagues Owned in 37% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill has now had three straight decent games in a row for fantasy football owners.

Caleb Sturgis (K, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

  BALLER MOVE: Add in All 12+ Leagues - Week 7 Streaming Option Owned in 7% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The best thing that has happened to Caleb Sturgis this week is that he gets to face off against a Bears defense that allows the third most fantasy points to kickers at 10.8 points per game. Why do we […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 2 QB leagues / Stream in 12+ Team Leagues ANALYSIS: I really thought this year would be the year that Tannehill took a huge step forward for the Dolphins. He didn't seem to agree with me, at least not for the first 3 games. In standard leagues for the first 3 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / Stash for BYE Weeks Owned in 38% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Following his coach's suggestion that he might be benched, Tannehill has silenced any critics over the last two weeks of the fantasy football season.

Charles Clay (TE, MIA) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target around pick ~130 (Current ADP 156 / TE15) ANALYSIS: The tight end position has long been a shallow one at best. Guys like Graham and Gronk seem to dominate that role on the field, leaving other players in the dust – or so it seems. Guys like that are definitely special, but […]
