Eight NFL Players To Drop From Your Fantasy Football Roster

Each week, we'll be bringing you a list of players who are no longer "ownable" in many fantasy football leagues. Obviously, this list has to be interpreted with a grain of salt, depending on the type of league you play in. If you're in a 14 team league with 5  bench spots, many of these […]

Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice: Week 9 NFL DFS DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers

Welcome to the Week 9 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings targets. An introduction is not really all that necessary, as the title of this DFS article pretty much sums up what is going to be discussed. It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices […]

Jamison Crowder is Worth a Shot in PPR Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jamison Crowder's ownership remained low over the bye week, which is great because he'll be easy to grab now. Since gaining a legitimate role in the Redskins offense, Crowder has hovered between nine and 16 points every week in PPR leagues, creating a […]

Kirk Cousins Finally Has a Healthy Receiving Corps

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After finishing as the QB1 in Week 7, Cousins headed to his bye and remained unowned in the overwhelming majority of leagues. Prior to that, Kirk Cousins had two games with fewer than 10 points. He is far from a […]

Week 9 Waiver Wire & QB Streamers: Tyrod Taylor, Jay Cutler & Kirk Cousins

Week 8 was another perfect week, kinda. Marcus Mariota obviously did not start so he was thrown out. Otherwise it was a 2/2 day. Alex Smith only threw for 145 yards but he had two passing touchdowns and 78 rush yards and another score on the ground. That resulted in a huge fantasy day: Smith’s […]

Stay the Course with Matt Jones

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Redskins' ground game has been a mess, but Jones was on the field more than Alfred Morris. While his usage on Sunday was a bit confusing, a running back who will see goal line touches in the NFL has fantasy […]

Jordan Reed Has Become a Top-Tier Tight End

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jordan Reed is a great athlete and a big target, and he has good hands and route-running abilities. He brutalized Tampa Bay for 11 catches, 72 yards and two touchdowns in his first game back from injury. Given how much quarterback Kirk Cousins […]

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 […]

Redskins Will Look to Feed Jordan Reed

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jordan Reed returned to the Redskins in grand fashion with the top scoring performance amongst TE's, putting together 11 catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns. As the only special target on the Redskins, Reed is going to demand targets and continue […]

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 […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 6 saw quite a few notable players go down and miss some action, causing other guys to rack up some numbers that might be a genuine indicator of future output, or misleading. We saw Jeremy Maclin (concussion), Keenan Allen (hip), Sammy Watkins (ankle), Allen Robinson (knee), and others leave their games early. This meant […]

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 […]

Jamison Crowder Is a Bright Spot in Washington's Offense

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jamison Crowder is quickly becoming one of Kirk Cousins' favorite targets. While the Redskins looked pretty awful during their 34-20 loss to the Jets, Crowder was targeted nine times in an ugly Week 6 loss to the Jets, totaling four catches for 40 yards. […]

Week 6 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Usually I open this with some snarky comment regarding Devonta Freeman, but this is just beyond me now. He's good, and if you've been riding him lately, you are probably doing well. Week 6 doesn't actually have a lot of super expensive guys that are in plus spots. Jamaal Charles is gone. Julio Jones went on Thursday. […]

Potential Booms and Busts for Week 6: The Early Games

It’s hard to believe that it’s already Week 6 and the NFL season is nearly a third of the way over. The fantasy football season is nearly halfway over, with the majority of postseasons beginning on Week 13 or 14. Whether you’re 0-5, 5-0, or anywhere in between at this point, you still have a […]

Week 6 Fantasy Football Risers, Fallers and Trade Candidates

It was comeback weekend in the NFL as the Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers all overcame late game deficits to win important games. Whether it was the flurry of scoring in the final minutes of the 1:00 games or the gutsy Le'Veon Bell touchdown […]

DeSean Jackson Practices in Full Pads

DeSean Jackson may find his way back onto the football field in Week 6 against the New York Jets. The speedster has been out of action since Week 1 with a hamstring injury, but on Wednesday he finally returned to practice in full pads. Jackson has always been a boom or bust wide receiver who […]

Matt Jones (RB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Redskins backfield is becoming very troublesome for owners, but Matt Jones did get a touchdown this past week. Unfortunately it came with less than two yards per carry (11 carries for 20 yards) and Jones did not come out of […]

Jamison Crowder: Deep League PPR Stash

BALLER MOVE: Continue Monitoring in Shallow Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS:  With DeSean Jackson out of the lineup, Jamison Crowder has played the high-percentage slot receiver role for Washington since week 3.  During that time Kirk Cousins has utilized him as his security blanket targeting him 26 times (~9 targets per game). The bad news is that DeSean […]

Three's Not a Crowd For Jamison Crowder

BALLER MOVE: FAAB Bid: $1 - 2 OWNED IN: 6% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: DeSean Jackson returning is going to cut into Jamison Crowder's snaps, but Washington can't be too picky when it comes to having someone effective on the offensive end. DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon will be good for them, but with Jordan Reed […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 6 Pickups and Adds

Jason Witten owners are hanging their heads this week.  The Dallas Cowboys are on bye, which means Witten and his 30 receptions, 271 yards and two touchdowns cannot be used.  Luckily he is the only major tight end on bye this week. There are three tight ends available on most waiver wires this week that […]

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 […]

Boom and Bust Candidates for Week 5: The Early Games

One rule I live by hard and fast in fantasy football is to never make any judgments about my team or any players before the first four weeks of the season. Especially now, with abbreviated practices and training camps, the first four weeks are often an extension of the preseason. But with Week 4 officially […]

Week 5 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

So you probably noticed that Week 4 felt a lot more "normal" compared to that Week 3 carnival of points. Unless you double dipped on Devonta Freeman, in which case we should be best friends and talk a lot on Saturdays. Week 5 looks to have a plenty of studs in A+ matchups - which […]

DeSean Jackson and Jordan Reed Ruled Out Week 5

Both wide receiver DeSean Jackson and tight end Jordan Reed have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. Jackson has been dealing with a hamstring injury while Reed is recovering from a concussion. With Jackson out of action, Jamison Crowder will continue to start opposite of Pierre Garcon. Crowder can be considered […]

Are These Rookies On The Verge Of Breaking Out in Week 5?

Hello RotoBallers. Today, I will be discussing three NFL rookies and their fantasy football potential for the 2015 season. These players are looking to be statistically on the upswing, and may be en route to showing their potential for the season. Two of the below rookies are widely available in fantasy football leagues, but that doesn't mean that they can't hold value […]

DeSean Jackson Participating in Individual Drills

DeSean Jackson's fantasy football owners will be happy to hear that the speedy receiver participated in individual drill on Wednesday. Jackson has been out of action since Week 1 after suffering a hamstring injury. Jackson's status for the Redskins' Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons is still very much in the air. Since Jackson […]

Is Chris Thompson the #1 Running Back to Own In Washington?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Washington Redskins backfield has gotten very crowded in recent weeks with both Matt Jones and Chris Thompson eating into Alfred Morris’ workload. Morris is the clear number one and he helped solidify that position with 38 rushing yards on […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Crowder is a player whose stock has been slowing rising throughout the 2015 season, literally. Here's how his season has played out: Week 1: One target, one reception, zero yards Week 2: One target, one reception, seven yards Week 3: Six targets, six […]

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 […]
