Doug Martin (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bucs gave their former Pro Bowl running back, Doug Martin, the bulk of the carries in Sunday's week 13 loss to Cincinnati. Martin ran the ball 18 times for 58 yards and a score. Those 18 carries were the most Martin […]

Josh McCown (QB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Week 12 Streamer ANALYSIS: At the beginning of the year, I had high expectations for the former backup to Jay Cutler. He had all the weapons, the starting contract, and the offensive prowess. It was as though the stars had aligned for McCown, and I had him very high on my […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Being penalized for a touchdown celebration means Seferian-Jenkins had to have scored a touchdown in Tampa Bay's Week 10 loss to Atlanta. It was the second score of the second-round pick's rookie campaign. His eight targets and five receptions were both career highs, […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Charles Sims is one of my top recommended running back pickups this week. The 6'0" 214 pound rookie has drawn comparisons to Matt Forte and DeMarco Murray, and for good reason.  He ranks in the 77th percentile for his 40 yard dash time, and ranks in […]

Bobby Rainey (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (PPR and Standard) OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Much to the delight of fantasy managers and probably the Buccaneers, Doug Martin found himself inactive for this game. Coincidentally, the very young exciting rookie back who has drawn comparisons to Matt Forte named Charles Sims was supposed to come off the […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (PPR and Standard) OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m saying it—Mike Evans is the new number one in Tampa Bay. For those keeping score at home, that’s four touchdowns in Evans’ last four games, and he looked positively dominant in Week 9, putting up a 7/124/2 line. Vincent Jackson isn’t completely irrelevant, […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Most Leagues Immediately Owned in 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After being sidelined with an ankle injury to begin his rookie campaign, Charles Sims is expected to be activated for Tampa's Week 9 matchup against the Cleveland Browns as the starting running back. With Doug Martin nursing an ankle injury, and […]

Mike Evans (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues / Deeper Standard Leagues Owned in 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So the Bucs are pretty much in rebuild mode, as they’re shopping V-Jax and Doug Martin daily. I stand firmly in the camp of those who think Mike Evans is the only reason anyone even considers Johnny Manziel an NFL talent, and […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues Owned in 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: This is the guy I’m looking to buy in just about any PPR league as a great stash.  With Doug Martin struggling (and injured), and Bobby Rainey clearly not a favorite of the coaches, Sims should have his chance to shine once he returns from IR. Sims […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep 14+ Team Leagues for Week 8 Owned in 10% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As you might guess, there isn’t much available to those streaming tight ends, but I do actually like Austin Seferian-Jenkins quite a bit. He had his best game of the year in Week 6, and now coming off the bye, […]

Louis Murphy (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues / Monitor in All Leagues Owned in 3% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I told you about Louis Murphy last week on my list of wide receiver sleepers, and I’m going to do it again. With Mike Evans still injured, Murphy is a legitimate plug-and-play wide receiver in deeper leagues, as he […]

Mike Glennon (QB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All 2 QB Leagues / Stream in 14+ Team Leagues Owned in 4% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints defense is one of the worst in the NFL, and they proved that again vs. the Dallas Cowboys in week four. They handed Romo and the ‘Boys 24 first downs and 445 total yards, 255 […]

Louis Murphy (WR, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (if you have dead weight) Owned in 0% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Okay, this one is a bit of a desperation play, but hear me out. Mike Evans injured a groin on Sunday, and should be out at least two or three weeks, leaving the door open for Murphy. He led the team with […]

Bobby Rainey (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues (especially if you are a Doug Martin owner) ANALYSIS: If you drafted Doug Martin this season and are a knowledgeable fantasy sports player you might already own Bobby Rainey. With Martin being scratched just before game time in week two, Rainey stepped in and ran like a bat out […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE, TB) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Grab in Late Rounds in Deep League or Snag off Waiver Wire (Current ADP: Undrafted) ANALYSIS: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been working very hard to supply probable starter Josh McCown with similar weapons to what he had last season when he replaced the injured Jay Cutler in Chicago. With an already established WR1 […]
