Phillip Dorsett (WR, IND) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- an 14-Team Leagues, All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Phillip Dorsett has been targeted plenty over the first two weeks, and considering how great Andrew Luck's start to the season has been, those targets mean a whole lot.

Week 3 Rankings Analysis: Nick Mariano vs. Industry Consensus

Week 2 was pretty painful, not going to lie. We saw a lot of injuries rack up, and the game with the biggest projected point total (NO/NYG) fell flat on its face. Naturally I leaned heavily on that last week, I should’ve known better than to rely on the Giants (my childhood team) to make […]

Target Acquired: Surprise Target Grabbers from Week 2 and Possible Breakouts for Week 3

Running backs have taken a hit this week, and only a handful of fantasy squads will be able to claim Jerick McKinnon, Matt Asiata, and Fozzy Whittaker.

Football is back. Is there a sweeter three-word sentence in the English language?

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Holster any extreme excitement on this 4th year tight end from Western Kentucky.

Risers and Fallers for Week 2 Fantasy Football

Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement.

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alright, so the Raiders defense didn't too groovy against the Saints last week.

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 2 Pickups & Adds

When Rob Gronkowski takes a week off, you realize how weak the top tier of tight ends is.
