BALLER MOVE: Add in standard & PPR leagues 12+ teams OWNED IN: 40% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS:  On the season Doug Baldwin has been very inconsistent for fantasy owners but there are a few factors in why I'm recommending him for week 17.  In week 7 Baldwin had 11 catches, 123 yards & a TD versus […]

Doug Baldwin (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues Owned in 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m actually kicking myself for not going with Baldwin purely as a speculative add this week.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Percy Harvin shipping off to the tri-state area, there is a lot up in the air about who will inherit his targets.
