Harry Douglas Should See a Rise in Targets
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's hard to recommend any of the Titans' skill players outside of tight end Delanie Walker, but Harry Douglas is coming off a game in which he tied Walker for the team lead in targets (eight) and scored his second touchdown of the […]
Grab Kendall Wright Before He Picks up the Pace
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Playing just half of the snaps, Kendall Wright was targeted seven times in Week 12-- but only caught two catches for a meager 19 yards. We've all seen Wright's talent in the past, and he's been top-10 in the league the last two […]
Don't Quit on Kendall Wright Just Yet
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ownership has fallen for Kendall Wright due to injuries, so there's not much need to explain why he's here. The former first rounder has great talent, but has been a mix of good and bad for fantasy owners this year, dealing with rookie QB […]
Dorial Green-Beckham: Will the Numbers Back Up the Name?
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: No one should have been expecting anything out of him against the Panthers, and hopefully he sees a dip in ownership thanks to the goose egg he posted this past weekend. He still isn't going to be consistent, but he is […]
Antonio Andrews (RB, Ten.) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add in 14-team leagues as deep stash Owned in: 49% of Fleaflicker Leagues Analysis: Antonio Andrews is a serviceable back who runs tough, falls forward and punishes tacklers. He's also a slower runner on a bad team who is losing carries to two other backfield mates already (Dexter McCluster and Bishop Sankey), and potentially more […]
Thursday Night Matchups Preview: Allen Hurns and Allen Robinson Look to Thrive Against Titans
There's nothing better than starting your fantasy week before you get to Sunday, and if you own Allen Hurns or Allen Robinson, chances are you're likely to do just that this week. The Jacksonville Jaguars are only 3-6 this year, but in the down AFC South that puts them only one game out of first […]
The Other Run DMC: Dexter McCluster
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 16% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While I continue to suggest picking up Tennessee's starting running back, Antonio Andrews, I do believe that Dexter McCluster can be used in a pinch, especially during the last week of byes. Again, Tennessee has Jacksonville (twice) and Oakland over the […]
Hang on to Antonio Andrews
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I thumped my chest last week and continued to pump the tires of Antonio Andrews headed into week 10's matchup against the undefeated Carolina Panthers. Andrews disappointed with only 8 yards on 11 carries, but I'm not going to back down from my […]
Week 11 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Draughn, Bell and McCluster
Week 11 doesn't seem very special, but there is some significance this season. This week is the final week of bye weeks with the Giants, Saints, Steelers, and Browns all taking the week to rest up for the season's stretch run. It also marks the beginning of the homestretch for most regular season's in fantasy […]

Marcus Mariota Is Set for Another Big Week
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marcus Mariota is likely to see a drop in his ownership after a complete dud against the Panthers, but that should've been expected. The Panthers have returned to being one of the NFL's prime defenses, and Mariota is a rookie on a bad […]
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. If you’re entering this week still in the playoff hunt, you deserve some credit. Injuries, under-performance and bad luck destroy a lot of fantasy football seasons. Being alive at this […]
Daily Divide: Week Ten DFS Picks - Darren McFadden, Greg Olsen, Randall Cobb Plus Others
Daily Divide: Week Ten Nathan and Matt each offer Week 10 cash game picks for every position, then the other insults or compliments those picks, as warranted. They hope their arguments debates provide enough information to make help people make their own decisions. Nathan tends to make far better picks, and Matt’s thoughts should be somewhat […]
Justin Hunter (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add in 14 team leagues for depth Owned in: 5% of Fleaflicker leagues. Analysis: The profile on Justin Hunter remains unchanged--he's a great training camp and practice performer, but he doesn't put up when it counts. Hunter has the measurables, but the production just isn't there, despite opportunities with Kendall Wright and Harry Douglas banged up […]
Dorial Green-Beckham Is Expected to Get More Involved
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Oh boy, here we go believing in Dorial Green-Beckham again. With Kendall Wright out, DGB finally saw significant playing time and even made a difficult catch to help setup a game winning play. He also led the team in targets. Everyone knows who DGB […]
Marcus Mariota Is Healthy and Playing at a High Level
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is a tough match-up for Marcus Mariota, but in a week where a lot of other QBs with similar ownership percentages have even worse match-ups (Tyrod Taylor in a short week vs. Jets, Jay Cutler vs. Rams, Alex Smith vs. Broncos), I […]
Antonio Andrews Named Starter for Rest of 2015
OWNED IN: 40% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There probably won't be many weeks this season where Andrews faces a defense nearly as bad as the Saints, but at least when he does you can be sure that he'll be startable. Andrews was recently blessed by Mike Mularkey as the starter for the rest of […]
Week 10 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota & Kirk Cousins
Week 9 saw Tyrod Taylor deliver an acceptable performance. It wasn’t great, but I’ll take 15 points from a QB streamer any week. Meanwhile I should have expected it, but Kirk Cousins was disappointing. My options at 25% or less were Johnny Manziel, Blaine Gabbert and Matt Cassel. There was no chance I was starting […]
Marcus Mariota and Delanie Walker Make Good Bye Week Fill-Ins vs Saints
Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota returns to action today against the New Orleans Saints after a knee injury that caused him to miss two straight games.

Week 8 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
The amount of injuries during Week 8 was an absolute nightmare for fantasy owners. Obviously all kinds of injuries are terrible, but when you’re talking about a slew of fantasy superstars, the results are pretty devastating. Since there were so many players that went down, it’s best that we focus on the bigger and more immediate […]
Antonio Andrews Plods into Fantasy Relevance
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Andrews was the clear leader in the backfield this past weekend, receiving 19 touches in a loss to the Texans.

Could David Cobb Give Your Team a Titanic Boost?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: We're getting closer to the time of the season where Cobb returns and carries everyone into the promise land of the playoffs. Nah, not really. But he's going to likely do better than any of the current backs are playing in Tennessee. […]
Week 9 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
It's not too late. Week 8 is in the books and for most leagues that means that we are half way through the season. By no means is it too late to turn a season around and with the myriad of injuries this past week, the waiver wire is just the place to do it. […]

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 7 was very disappointing for Dorial Green-Beckham and his owners, as well as the Tennessee Titans. Green-Beckham was coming off of a Week 6 game against Miami that saw his role expand, as he got three receptions on six targets […]
Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Antonio Andrews missed the first two games of the season, only to come back and score a touchdown in Weeks 3 and 5.

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 […]
