Jeff Janis the Next Man Up in Green Bay
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ty Montgomery suffered an injury in the middle of his matchup and had to be carted off the field. That doesn't bode well for his chances to suit up the next time the Packers play in Week 8, making his replacement... Read More
Can You Dig Stefon Diggs (WR, MIN)?
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In two games starting for the Charles Johnson-less Vikings, Stefon Diggs has amassed 13 receptions for 216 yards. Those numbers might not be exciting, but the consistent usage and high yardage is promising. Diggs might not have the talent on his own... Read More
Christine Michael Looks to Spark Dallas Run Game
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 34% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Over the bye week, the Dallas Cowboys gave Christine Michael a look with the first team offense and all signs are pointing to something positive. They reportedly haven't been happy with Randle's output as the starter and want to see if the uber-athlete... Read More
Brandon Oliver the Back to Own in San Diego?
BALLER MOVE: Add as a Deep League Option OWNED IN: 8% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Melvin Gordon has had a rough start to his career. Suffering from indecisiveness and fumbles, he's going to take his time coming into his own in the NFL. However, as surprising as it was that the Chargers moved up to... Read More
James Starks a Must-Add This Week & Beyond
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Even without this big game from Starks, only 20% ownership is insanely low for the handcuff of a RB that plays on one of the best offenses in the NFL. He's literally one injury away from being an RB1. Week 6 was... Read More
Go Big or Go Home with Landry Jones in Week 7
BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Landry Jones' viability as a waiver pickup obviously hinges on whether or not Ben Roethlisberger is ready to return this week. If not, here's all that needs to be said about Jones: he plays on an offense that has Le'Veon Bell,... Read More
Brian Hoyer a Diamond in the Rough for Week 7
BALLER MOVE: Add as Bye Week Streamer OWNED IN: 13% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I talked up Brian Hoyer last week, along with his Week 7 opponent Blake Bortles, and both players finished amongst the top 10 scorers in standard QB scoring. Hoyer's going to be up here for another week as he's facing the Dolphins next. DVOA... Read More

Below you will find both PPR rankings and standard league rankings for Week 6, brought to you by... Read More
Minnesota Vikings - Defense Streamer For Week 6
The honest truth is that no D/ST matchup looks particularly appetizing on the waivers. Of what remains, the Vikings show the best chance to overwhelm their opponent. With Jamaal Charles out for the Chiefs, the biggest threat in the game is gone. It's likely that the Vikings choose to spend a lot of time trying... Read More
Jacob Tamme (TE, ATL) - Tight End Add For Week 6
When Leonard Hankerson got injured, it was Jacob Tamme who picked up the slack on his way to eight receptions and 94 yards. If Hankerson's injury continues to bother him, or maybe the offense realizes that Tamme might be worth throwing to, there's a lot of value to be had. Kyle Shanahan has worked with... Read More
Antonio Andrews (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Add For Week 6
Although Andrews didn't see the bulk of the carries this week, he's definitely seeing the most valuable action. He's now had rushing touchdowns in back-to-back games with the Titans, in addition to a couple of receptions. Outside of the touchdowns, the production hasn't been very strong - but at this point, with a lack of... Read More
Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - Priority PPR League Add For Week 6
Crowder's value is going to be heavily tied to how long DeSean Jackson remains out for, but even if he does return this week there's a chance that Crowder's role may remain steady. After all, the Redskins definitely drafted him with the intent of using him. Over the past three weeks, Crowder has been on the field... Read More
Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Priority Add For Week 6
Another player I mentioned last week, Gary Barnidge just doesn't make sense. At 30 years old he is having his breakout season, becoming the second tight end to breakout for the Browns in the last three years. It's just like Justin Forsett last year - a player with no business being good, actually being good. Barnidge... Read More
Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Priority Add For Week 6
I've mentioned before that I love being able to write about a player two weeks in a row. Snead has proven to be one of Brees' favorite players to look for, as he racked up six receptions on 11 targets for 141 yards in Week 5. That was after putting up 89 yards on six receptions... Read More
Charcandrick West (RB, KC) - Priority Add For Week 6
The must own pickup of Week 6, Charcandrick West, is the next man up for a Chiefs. This is an offense that relies so heavily on it's running back, that Shonn Greene would be a potential number one overall waiver wire pick if he was here. West took the number two spot from Knile Davis just two... Read More

Week 6 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers
Waiver Wire Adds for Week Six The fifth Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. The Redskins gave the Falcons a huge scare, while Cincinnati cemented its place amongst the top teams of the AFC with a comeback win over the Seahawks. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night... Read More

Jacksonville Jaguars (JAX, DEF) - Waiver Wire Analysis
Yep, these two teams face each other this week. You can pick your poison if you're looking for a sleeper waiver wire defense because both of these teams have issues. Both quarterbacks are prone to getting sacked. Both quarterbacks are interception prone. Bother quarterbacks have weapons that can go off and completely ruin the choice... Read More

Week 5 Waiver Wire Overview & Free Agent Sleepers
Waiver Wire Adds for Week Five The fourth Sunday of the season is through, and the wackiness continues. The Jets toppled the Dolphins in London, while the Jay Cutler returned to the Bears to keep them from falling to the Raiders. And there's still another big matchup on tonight's Monday Night slate. Week 4 was filled with some star-studded... Read More
Ladarius Green (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Green might see his value reduced next week, but I want to make a case here that he's been playing well. We all know that for the last two years the Chargers have been hyping him up, and we're now finally seeing what the results of that... Read More
Gary Barnidge (TE, CLE) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Man, let me tell you that I don't want to be endorsing Gary Barnidge. At 30 years old, with barely anything to show for his career, having a relevant fantasy season is so out of left field it's hard to believe. It's actually incredibly similar... Read More
Willie Snead (WR, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: All the hype was pointed towards Saints receivers Brandon Coleman and Brandon Cooks during the offseason. Meanwhile, Willie Snead has somehow managed to outdo them both so far in the 2015 fantasy football season. Snead currently leads the team in yardage (240 receiving yards), despite... Read More
Dontrelle Inman (WR, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Dontrelle Inman's name might bring up a lot of questions like "who is that?" - but rest assured, this is a player with some fantasy relevance. Inman was picked up by the Chargers from the CFL where he played two seasons that accumulated some not-so-impressive... Read More
Tavon Austin (WR, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not going to pretend that Tavon Austin deserves to be rostered but he should be considered. With the lacking amount of real talent on the Rams receiving squad, Tavon Austin stands out as the most obviously "talented" of the group. Essentially the argument for... Read More
Ronnie Hillman (RB, DEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It's surprising how low this ownership is. C.J. Anderson shows no hold on his starting job as he's been plodding his way to an unspectacular 2015 season. Meanwhile, Hillman started coming around this week showing much better running than Anderson, even outside of his big 72 yard... Read More
Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Johnson is another player who's hype took time to materialize. Johnson is coming off his best game to date as a pro with 8 rushes for 31 yards and 9 receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown. Duke is still stuck in a pass... Read More
Sam Bradford (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: There weren't any quarterback performances this week that look good enough to make a QB worth picking up other than Sam Bradford's. All the hype on Bradford took it's time to materialize, but against the Redskins it finally seemed like it came together. At least somewhat. Bradford threw 28... Read More
Karlos Williams (RB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: LeSean McCoy may have to miss multiple games now. That's huge for Karlos Williams and his fantasy football owners. Although pegged as a back who didn't have a true role in the NFL, and was more of a swiss-army-knife than a feature back, Williams has been playing well... Read More
Week 4 Fantasy Football Rankings: Standard and PPR Analysis
What's up RotoBallers. Week 3 is complete and we hope you managed to secure the win! To celebrate, today we are bringing you our Week 4 fantasy football rankings to help prepare you for your Week 4 matchups. Below you will find both PPR rankings and standard league rankings for Week 4, brought to you by... Read More
Brandon Marshall (WR, NYJ) - Week 4 Lineup Booms
I really want to put Brandon Marshall higher on my Week 4 rankings than he is (6th overall in PPR scoring), but I don't think I can in good conscience. Let me explain. Everyone knows Brandon Marshall is currently being targeted like crazy on the Jets (9, 10, and 14 in last three weeks which... Read More
