Kareem Hunt (RB, KC) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper
The running back position is one of the most important positions on a fantasy football team. Since most teams are going with a two back set of recent years, it is more difficult to find running back gems later on in the draft. There are only a handful of three-down running backs in the beginning... Read More

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team leagues OWNED IN: 50% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If Cameron Brate is somehow still available in your fantasy football league, you should probably make sure you add him immediately to your playoff roster.

Brandon LaFell (WR,CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Pick up in 12 team leagues. OWNED IN: 10.5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While Brandon LaFell is not the top target in Cincinnati, he is still putting up somewhat respectable numbers.

BALLER MOVE: Pick up in 10 team leagues. OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers seemed to have found themselves a reliable tight end.

In Week 3, quarterback... Read More

Eddie Royal (WR, CHI) - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It was kind of surprising to look at the stat sheet and see Eddie Royal leading the Chicago Bears in receiving on Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
