Mariota a High Upside Play in Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Start as Bye Week Replacement OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone just saw what Ryan Tannehill did to the Texans right? This will be a morally defeated team. Tannehill’s game was an outlier, but this is still a bad defense that was already allowing the 6th most points to opposing QBs […]

Titans a High Risk/Reward Unit in Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add as Streamer Defense OWNED IN: 15% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You want a crazy punt play? Here's as crazy as it can get. Brian Hoyer isn't immune to throwing INTs. He also has the 10th highest sack rate in the league right now. The Texans just lost Arian Foster for the season, […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Alex Smith, Marcus Mariota & Brian Hoyer

Week 7 was the best week for the article yet! All three QBs produced QB1 days with at least 19 fantasy points. It was particularly ugly for Brian Hoyer who had a completion rate below 50% and racked up points after the Texans went down by 41 at halftime. Hey, I don’t care how my […]

Week 7 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Here we go again folks. Week 7 is here and for the sake of consistency I'll stick with the tournaments that start at 1 PM Eastern Time, so don't be shocked to not see names from Buffalo-Jacksonville listed. Week 7 has a decent amount of mid-level plays that are all in contention for being rather […]

Week 7 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & 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 […]

Dorial Green-Beckham Has Star Potential

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dorial Green-Beckham caught two touchdowns over his first three games, but then went without a catch in a low-scoring Week 5 loss to the Bills. Then, the rookie had his most productive performance in Week 6, catching three balls for 57 yards on […]

NFL Survivor League Picks – Survivor Pool Targets & Avoids (Week 6)

Everyone was doubting the Bears last week. Not me. I wrote, "I see this being a really close game and a possible upset special pick." If you avoided them and the Ravens, congrats. I thought the Ravens would kill the Browns and when they were up 21-9 it seemed over. The Ravens defense is so bad, […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire: Week 6 Pickups & Adds

If my friends didn't use such horrific language, I'd post a screenshot of the string of separate text messages I got at 2:53 pm on Sunday. All of them were along the lines of "Nooooooo" or "Not again!" or "he looked like he got shot!" 2:53 pm will be the minute in time that changes […]

Marcus Mariota In For Big Day Against the Bills

The Tennessee Titans' rookie quarterback comes off the bye week to face the Buffalo Bills at home today, and all signs point to Marcus Mariota having a real nice fantasy performance today.

My Top 10 Potential Busts for Week 5

Welcome back to the Top 10 Busts of the Week column, where I tell you why the early round draft-pick you made is going to stink. It's OK.  It happens to everyone. I'm here for you if you drafted C.J. Anderson.  If you want to cry, you can.  Nothing to be ashamed of.   Top […]

Dorial Green-Beckham Involvement In Titans Offense To Increase

Rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham will be expected to play “more and more” according to Tennessee Titans general manager Ruston Webster. Marcus Mariota has impressed as quarterback, and Green-Beckham has been one of his favorite red zone targets. The issue with Green-Beckham has been his limited playing time leading to very few targets. Green-Beckham has […]

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues. OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker leagues. ANALYSIS: At 6'5'' and 237 pounds, Dorial Green-Beckham is a big-body wide receiver whose potential and upside are almost as impressive as his vertical leap. Savvy fantasy football owners will notice that his performance has been trending up in every week. In Week 1, Beckham […]

Titans Do Not Have a Starting Running Back

If you plan on starting a Tennessee Titans running back in your fantasy football lineups for Week 5, good luck guessing which guy will get the bulk of the carries. And don't expect head coach Ken Whisenhunt to make things easy for you. He recently told ESPN that he "really don't care" which running back […]

Dorial Green-Beckham Holds Strong Long-Term Fantasy Value

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues, Keeper/Dynasty Leagues OWNERSHIP: 41% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dorial Green-Beckham has seen his role grow on a weekly basis. He has already scored two touchdowns on just three receptions, so he has definitely demonstrated his explosiveness. DGB is worth a flyer in deep leagues, especially as he develops a connection […]

Eddie Royal, Dorial Green-Beckham - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, TEN - 18% owned on Fleaflicker Unfortunately, we don't have four weeks of stats to evaluate on Green-Beckham. What we do have, is a player who has seen his role grow on a weekly basis. He's gone from no targets, to two targets, to three targets over the first three weeks of action. […]

Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I put Andrews in my "Wait and See" section in Week 4, not because I didn't think he was worthy of a pickup, but more-so because the Titans were on a bye and I wanted to see if they made a move during their […]

Week 5 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups, Adds & Rankings Tiers

It's time to come clean. Time for a little honesty around here. Time to pay the piper if you will. Up until this week, up until the writing of this very column, I haven't been particularly excited about many running back waiver wire adds so far this season. My "Cream of the Crop" adds in […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Buy Lows?

A shockingly potent Titans passing attack has Mariota in the top-10 of QBs after three weeks. Given the fact an average fan likely can’t name a single wide receiver on the team, that’s actually really impressive. Mariota has hung around 30 fantasy points each of the last two weeks and has officially solidified himself as a legitimate […]

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: First things first, he is on the Titans, and the Titans have a Week 4 bye. Do not pick him up expecting to plug him in this week. Okay, now that I'm confident you're informed, here's why you want this guy. Green-Beckham is […]

Tennessee Titans Backfield: Bishop Sankey, Antonio Andrews or Dexter McCluster?

Are you going insane trying to figure out what Tennessee Titans running back should be inserted into your fantasy football lineups? Well, let me make it easy on you: NONE! The Titans obviously have no clearcut starter and plan on going with the hot-hand until one running back proves himself better than the rest. The […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Sneaky Week 3 Starts

I wrote up McCluster earlier in the week, calling him a hail mary play for Week 3. I still feel the same about McCluster - he is a boom or bust candidate that likely depends on hitting a big play. But I love McCluster's talent, and it's just a matter of whether or not he […]

Dexter McCluster (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues Ownership: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dexter McCluster is not going to be a week-in, week-out fantasy starter at any point this year, but he has the ability to bust a big play out of the backfield or slot, or on special teams, and is coming off a week where […]

Fantasy Football Week 2 Boom and Bust Candidates for Early Games

In many ways, Week 2 is the most important week of the early fantasy football season. If you started off 1-0, now you have a chance to perch yourself atop the league with a victory. At 0-1, the last thing you want to do is fall into an 0-2 hole, so a Week 2 victory […]

Bishop Sankey (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  Week 1 was a great week to be an owner with stock in the Tennessee Titans, as they made the Tampa Bay Buccaneers look like a bunch of amateurs. Marcus Mariota is getting most of the attention for his stellar performance, as he […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Mariota is a must own right now. Although he only took 16 passes on Sunday, those passes hit their mark with a 209 yard and 4 touchdown game. Mariota is unlikely to ever repeat that kind of efficiency again this season, but showing […]
