Week 16 Daily Fantasy Football Stacks: Ben Roethlisberger - Antonio Brown, Blake Bortles - Allen Robinson, Russell Wilson - Doug Baldwin
Stacking, or pairing a quarterback with a pass catcher from the same team, is one of the most popular strategies when building a lineup for daily fantasy. This is especially true for GPP (guaranteed prize pool) tournaments, where you're trying to maximize your points across the roster. We typically highlight this strategy each week in the […]
Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games. I will say, however, that outside of a few exceptions, most of the replacement level players won’t be […]

James White "Catching On" to Patriot Way
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 51% owned in Fleaflicker <-- yes I cheated a smidge to include him. ANALYSIS: If James White is somehow still available in PPR leagues you need to get him. Even if standard though, he has proven that he is trusted by Tom Brady in the passing attack […]
Keep an Eye on Keshawn Martin
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Keshawn Martin had just three catches for 26 yards in Sunday's win against the Tennessee Titans. Those numbers aren't worth writing home about, but the bigger news is that Danny Amendola left the game with a knee injury. If Amendola is unable to play […]
Week 15 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Philip Rivers, Matt Jones, Nate Washington & More!
Three weeks are left in the NFL regular season and while the pros are vying for playoff spots and season long fantasy owners are going for the championships, you DFS vets are simply playing another week.

The Next Men Up - Denard Robinson, Bryce Brown, Brandon Bolden, and Carolina's Committee
There are four new faces coming out of the woodwork to help you out (maybe) at running back in Week 15. LeGarrette Blount (hip), T.J. Yeldon (MCL), Jonathan Stewart (foot), Thomas Rawls (ankle) all suffered injuries in Week 14, and I guess DuJuan Harris (he stinks) is notably out of the way as well in […]
Brandon Bolden a Sneaky RB Play
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This has been one of the most injury-plagued and confusing seasons I've ever seen for fantasy running backs. The Patriots are always dangerous when it comes to speculating which running back is going to do well for them. However, with LeGarrette […]
James White's Role Growing for Pats
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There's still a difficult split happening between James White and Brandon Bolden, and despite Bolden out-touching White 14 to 1 on the ground, it's White that's showing more significant fantasy value. Maybe that's because he actually gets used in the redzone over […]

Week 14 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyler Lockett, Austin Seferian-Jenkins & More
December is here and we're approaching that home stretch of football where we have plenty of data under our belts to work with.

If you play in season-long redraft leagues, this is what you've been working toward all season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Keshawn Martin was targeted eight times in Sunday's upset loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but he only caught three passes for a mere 45 yards.

Scoop Up James White
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James White operated as the lead back for the majority of the Patriots game against the Eagles.

December is here and we're approaching that home stretch of football where we have plenty of data under our belts to work with.

Brandon Bolden: Late Season Lottery Ticket
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Bolden is part of the New England backfield that really doesn’t have much of an identity right now. The Patriots are leaning hard on the arm of Tom Brady in the wake of the multitude of injuries that New […]
Week 13 Deeper Sleepers - Playoff Drive: Dontrelle Inman, Scott Chandler, Brock Osweiler and More
We are almost at the regular season finish line. Every year I cannot wait for football to start, then the season comes to a close and I'm wondering where the heck the time went. Same rules as always - in this column we will be looking at NFL players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker […]
Week 13 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Scott Chandler, Kyle Rudolph and Coby Fleener
Week 12 was the most disastrous week for tight ends in the NFL this season. The body count was sky-high and littered with elite names. Seattle’s Jimmy Graham is out for the season with a knee injury, New England's Rob Gronkowski is week-to-week with his own knee injury according to ESPN and Cincinnati’s Tyler Eifert’s status is unknown […]

Could Scott Chandler BE a Better TE Pickup?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chandler hasn't been that great for the Patriots outside of a few plays here and there, but if Gronk should miss any time- those targets will have to go to someone. It's looking less and less like Gronk's injury is going to […]
Brandon Bolden a Bold Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 24% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember how I said James White was the de facto number two back behind LeGarrette Blount? Nobody told Brandon Bolden, who drastically outplayed White in Week 12, catching four passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. All three backs will be involved […]
James White In Line for More Looks in New England
BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 41% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White became the default pass-catching back once Dion Lewis was lost for the season, but he's done very little in the role. That could change drastically given the injury Rob Gronkowski suffered in the Patriots' Week 12 defeat. Gronk evidently escaped with a […]
James White Got Green Light on Monday Night
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The slew of injuries continue for the New England Patriots. Danny Amendola and Aaron Dobson went down for the Pats on Monday and their receiving corps is running very thin. The Patriots are the embodiment of the "next man up" mentality though, […]
Week 11 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Mark Sanchez, Ronnie Hillman, Zach Ertz, & More!
Week 11 is here and ready to make dreams come true. There aren't any games this week that have projected point totals of over 50 points. The closest we've got is the 49.5 total that the Detroit-Oakland game is offering. This doesn't mean that there isn't cheaper fun to be had though. There is still plenty […]
