Odell Beckham Jr. 2015 Season Keeps Him On a Historic Pace

If I had to describe Odell Beckham’s sophomore season in one word I would use the word ‘fascinating’. As far as his ability goes, OBJ continued to amaze and dazzle fans of football.

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 […]

Week 16 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Teddy Bridgewater, Kirk Cousins & Johnny Manziel

Last week this column feature two obvious QB streams that turned out to be...not so obvious. Ryan Fitzpatrick was right at my stream threshold of 15 points. Underwhelming but acceptable. Meanwhile Alex Smith fell victim to game flow as the Chiefs went up 21-7 early behind a big Charcandrick West run and a defensive score. […]

Will Tye is Your Guy

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE Streamer OWNED IN: 8% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It is time to jump on the fantasy bandwagon of the man with the short but sweet name.  If you thought he was a fluke then you must have thought Devonta Freeman, Allen Robinson and Jordan Reed were flashes in the pan, […]

Top Three Upset Picks for Week 15 of the NFL Season

Last week I went 3-for-3 in my picks, including picking the Raiders and Broncos as the game to avoid. I am not sure how many survivor pools are still going on, but I doubt there would be many left due to the insane amount of rash upsets there have been this season. Therefore, the last […]

Monday Night Football features two teams desperately trying to keep up with the race for the playoffs.

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

Will Tye for Those in Do or Die Mode

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell’s neck injury has made the fantasy value of Tye very healthy.  While Donnell sits on the sidelines, Tye has made the most of his opportunity as New York’s starting tight end during the last month.

Week 13 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Hasselbeck

For Week 12, Johnny Manziel was thrown out after he got benched for partying. Of the other two, Jameis Winston delivered a solid 15.5 points. Nothing flashy, but acceptable for a stream. Brock Osweiler was disappointing for most of the night, but saved himself with a touchdown and some decent yardage late. Still, has night wasn't […]

Rueben Randle a Giant Redzone Option

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As much as OBJ's fantasy owners would like it, Eli Manning can't throw to Beckham every single time.
