They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make sound decisions for their DFS lineups. Nathan:It is good to have Matt back in the […]
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 […]
Jermaine Kearse Is a Solid Plan B Wideout
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jermaine Kearse is the third option in Seattle's passing attack behind Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett, but the third option in the league's hottest offense is still plenty valuable. Kearse caught seven passes for 74 yards in Sunday's rout of the Baltimore Ravens. […]
Tyler Lockett Will Benefit from a Pass-Heavy Offense
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett is coming off of back-to-back weeks with seven targets, and has shown major play-making potential all season long. With Russell Wilson entering a completely new level of passing ability, Lockett might be able to benefit, especially since injuries to Marshawn Lynch […]
Week 15 Deeper Sleepers: The Race for Tim Hightower and Which Seahawks Back to Own
If you're still actively looking for research on sleepers for fantasy football, congrats on making this far and you have a deep league. Hopefully your team was set at QB/TE because Brian Hoyer and Luke Willson were dreadful, while Shaun Draughn was average at best. I apologize for the poor calls and accept all rotten tomatoes […]
Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 15: Willie Snead, Jermaine Kearse, Malcom Floyd
It's not normally in our nature here at RotoBaller to toot our own horn, but after watching Sunday's games unfold, well ... beep, beep. In this very same article space last week, we highlighted Carolina's Ted Ginn Jr., Seattle's Tyler Lockett and Cleveland's Brian Hartline as low-owned wide receivers to target on the waiver wire. […]
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. Of course now we can fall into the trap of drawing too much value from year long statistics that really aren't so accurate, as the team looked quite different in its first […]
Seattle Keeps Looking Doug Baldwin's Way And So Should You
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 57% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: So Doug Baldwin might actually be real now. He's always been a reliable target, but never seemed to be the dynamic, offense-carrying type. He's been forced into that role this year and hasn't yet faded out. On Sunday he caught five-of-seven targets for 94 […]
Luke Willson Doing Some Good Will for Fantasy Teams
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Willson is no Jimmy Graham. Hell, he’s not even the best Willson/Wilson on his own offense. But what he is right now is the starting tight end on a team whose quarterback and offense are clicking on all cylinders at the perfect […]

Week 14 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Luke Willson, Will Tye and Clive Walford
Week 14 is the last week of the regular season in many fantasy leagues, while it could also be the opening round of the playoffs in other leagues depending on the postseason structure. So this is not the time to make a fantasy lineup mistake. If you still haven’t plugged the gaping hole left behind […]
Tyler Lockett Has Emerged as a Reliable Weapon
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doug Baldwin was the popular waiver wire pickup this week, coming on the heels of a 145-yard, three-touchdown explosion. Baldwin was great again Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings (94 yards, two touchdowns), but so too was Tyler Lockett, who snagged a career-high seven passes […]
Week 13 Boom and Bust Candidates: Russell Wilson, Doug Martin, Alshon Jeffery & More!
It’s do or die time for millions of fantasy football players this week. Week 13 marks the end of the fantasy regular season for many leagues, and finishing 8-5 or 7-6 will make the difference between playing meaningful games in Week 14 and the losers’ bracket. The boatload of injuries that have plagued the league […]
Adrian Peterson and Thomas Rawls Poised for Big Games
Today's game featuring the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings will be a clash of tough NFC defenses and solid run games.

Week 13 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Alex Smith, C.J. Anderson, David Johnson & 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. Of course now we can fall into the trap of drawing too much value from year long statistics that really aren't so accurate, as the team looked quite different in its first […]
Tyler Lockett the Rocket
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett has been an all or nothing option for the Seahawks this season. His game-changing speed makes him a threat to take any pass or kick return to the house. However he doesn't get enough touches to be a regular threat. This […]
Doug Baldwin's Big Day Won't Be His Last
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doug Baldwin torched the Steelers for 145 yards and three touchdowns on six receptions in Sunday's wild 39-30 win. The three scores marked a career high and obviously won't become a weekly occurrence, but Baldwin is the midst of an impressive run. He […]
Week 12 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Ryan Tannehill, Ronnie Hillman, Tyler Lockett & More
Everyone has now feasted on their turduckens and we're ready to roll out of our food coma and check out what the deal is with Week 12 DFS for the weekend.

Week 12 Boom and Bust Candidates: Drew Brees, Odell Beckham Jr., LeSean McCoy & More
We’re at the point of the season where just one more win may get you into the postseason, and just one more loss may keep you out. It may be the most wonderful time of the year as far as holiday season, but in fantasy football land, this is the end of the line for […]
Thomas Rawls a Must-Add
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rawls faces the unfortunate issue of having Marshawn Lynch on his team. If Lynch returns, Rawls likely loses all value because of the Seahawks showing nothing regarding putting Lynch on the bench in favor of him. Rawls is still a must own in […]
Tyler Lockett Has Become a Primary Option in Seattle
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett has emerged as the Seahawks' most dangerous weapon in the passing game, as evidenced by his 48-yard, two-touchdown showing Sunday against the 49ers. The speedy rookie also caught a long touchdown in Week 7, and has a pair of return […]
Week 11 Boom and Bust Candidates: Carson Palmer, Marshawn Lynch, DeAndre Hopkins, & More
Depending on the type of league you’re in, there are only three to four weeks left in the fantasy football regular season. If you’re sitting pretty at 10-0, 9-1, 8-2 or even 7-3, you probably have little to worry about, as the playoffs are basically a guarantee for you. For the other 80 percent of […]
Doug Baldwin Flying High for Seahawks
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In a crazy Sunday night game, Doug Baldwin looked really good for the Seattle Seahawks. Baldwin caught seven of his 10 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown. The 10 targets were a team high, and he was responsible for over half […]
NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 11
I really thought NFL Doomsday was a once a year thing. In Week 3 I wrote, "NFL Doomsday has come and gone. Hopefully that will be the last week of its kind this season." Unfortunately I was wrong. This week was more devastating though. How did the Packers lose to the Lions? How did the Bengals […]
Wide Receivers Waiver Wire for Week 11: Amendola, Williams, Crowder and More
Ah, fantasy football. Don't you just love it?

Case in point, let's look […]
Week 10 Boom and Bust Candidates: DeMarco Murray, Allen Robinson, Marshawn Lynch & More
The fantasy football regular season is winding down, players are dropping like flies to injuries and fantasy owners are hoping they can survive the carnage.

Week 8 Booms and Busts: Late Games

Doug Baldwin (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Consider for GPP lineups in DFS OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy football can be frustrating and stressful enough on its own. If you're relying on a Seattle Seahawks pass-catcher, that's only going to make things more infuriating. Through seven games this season, the Seahawks have had four different players finish as […]
