Malcom Floyd Could Explode Against the Bears
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Malcom Floyd is a tough man to figure. He's had some solid games in terms of receiving yardage, specifically catching five balls for 95 yards against the Green Bay Packers three weeks ago.

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 […]
Ladarius Green a Potential Top Option ROS
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green was a beast on Sunday. I know many critics and doubters will say that was only because Antonio Gates was out, but Green has proven he has value even when Gates does play. Rivers has been slinging the ball […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers for Week 7: Brandon Oliver, Stefon Diggs, Crockett Gillmore

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 7 Pickups and Adds

"What the hell is going on out here?" I have never felt more like Vince Lombardi at the time of this famous quote than I do this week. Eddie Lacy isn't the guy? Joseph Randle has fumbled his way out of the lead role? C.J. Anderson continues to stink and Devonta Freeman is the best […]

Week 5 Monday Night Football Analysis: Fantasy Matchups We Love and Hate
Steelers @ Chargers Matchups We Love Michael Vick, QB, Steelers - Okay, this is a little crazy and I know that but just bare with me.

Last week was our first journey into the bye weeks, with the Pats and Titans getting some rest. But this week, we have four teams sitting out (Dolphins, Jets, Vikings, and Panthers).

What to Make of Antonio Gates' Return for the San Diego Chargers
Antonio Gates is set to make his 2015 debut after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's Policy and Program for performance-enhancing substances.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman's name might bring up a lot of questions like "who is that?" - but rest assured, this is a player with some fantasy relevance.
