Baller Move: Add in deeper PPR leagues Owned in: 73% of Fleaflicker leagues Analysis: Regardless of the letters "R-B" that occupy Shane Vereen's position, it is safe to say that he brings home the bacon to fantasy football managers as a pass-catcher who happens to get a few carries every game.

Eight NFL Players To Drop From Your Fantasy Football Roster

Each week, we'll be bringing you a list of players who are no longer "ownable" in many fantasy football leagues. Obviously, this list has to be interpreted with a grain of salt, depending on the type of league you play in. If you're in a 14 team league with 5  bench spots, many of these […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 8: The Early Games

It’s starting to become money time in fantasy land – the time for mistakes has passed. If you’re locked in a race for the playoffs right now, the last thing you need is to leave points on the bench or place faith in a guy who is destined to put up a dud. While it’s […]

Avoid Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen and Andre Williams Until Further Notice

The Giants backfield has been giving fantasy owners migraines all season long. New York utilizes the ever-hated 'running back by committee' approach that leaves fantasy owners wondering if their guy will get enough carries, goal-line touches and playing time to warrant a start. Early on, it appeared that Rashad Jennings would be the starter receiving […]

Odell Beckham, Julian Edelman, Travis Benjamin: Wide Receivers Showing Warning Signals?

Similar to this week's running backs piece, it's also become increasingly difficult to identify star wide receivers who are struggling at this point in the season.

BALLER MOVE: Start as bye-week replacement OWNED IN: 44% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell's fantasy value is almost exclusively tied to touchdowns.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle may still not have been 100% with his hamstring going into Week 7, though he should be darn close.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 68% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Shane Vereen has had three games where his PPR stats would have warranted playing him, but unfortunately he has also thrown in four games that were true stinkers.

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 7 was relatively quiet outside of Arian Foster being lost for the year, and even his replacements aren't really enticing. This week seems to be more about reminders from players who have played well before, but may be available due to their own bye weeks or coming back from an injury. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and […]

Go to the Dark Side with Orleans Darkwa

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I was really interested in Darkwa entering this season, listing him constantly in my version of the running back depth charts as a player to watch.

Week 6 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Usually I open this with some snarky comment regarding Devonta Freeman, but this is just beyond me now. He's good, and if you've been riding him lately, you are probably doing well. Week 6 doesn't actually have a lot of super expensive guys that are in plus spots. Jamaal Charles is gone. Julio Jones went on Thursday. […]
