Kenny Stills Quiet Again In Week 12
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills had another quiet day in Miami's 27-24 Week 12 loss to Indianapolis. Stills caught one pass for six yards on three targets. He hasn't caught more than two passes since Week 4, and hasn't caught more than four passes in a game all season. Stills came into the season... Read More
Kenyan Drake Scores Twice In Week 12

Frank Gore Totals 77 Yards In Week 12
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was heavily involved in their 27-24 loss to Indianapolis in Week 12. Gore rushed 14 times for 67 yards and caught one pass for ten yards. He out-touched Kenyan Drake 15-13, but Drake put up more total yardage and scored a touchdown. Gore is Miami's between the tackles runner,... Read More
Ryan Tannehill Tosses Two Touchdowns In Return
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill played well in his return in Miami's 27-24 loss to Indianapolis in Week 12. He went 17-for-25 passing for 204 yards and two touchdowns. He was out-dueled by Andrew Luck, but that's to be expected. Tannehill should offer an upgrade to Miami receivers over Ryan Tannehill, but he didn't target... Read More
Danny Amendola Will Play In Week 12
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola will play in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Amendola was questionable all week with a hamstring injury. He suffered the injury back in Week 10, and Miami's Week 11 bye certainly helped him recover more quickly. He had developed a nice rapport with Brock Osweiler and became a low-ceiling PPR... Read More
DeVante Parker Active For Week 12
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (shoulder) will play in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Parker was questionable all week after exiting early in the Dolphins' last back in Week 10 with the injury. Miami's Week 11 bye was certainly fortuitous in aiding Parker's recovery. The return of Ryan Tannehill may give Parker a slight boost... Read More
Kenny Stills Looking To Reconnect With Ryan Tannehill Week 12
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills will get a chance to reconnect with quarterback Ryan Tannehill in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Stills averaged 8.42 standard points per game with Tannehill as quarterback, and averaged just 4.13 points per game with Brock Osweiler. Tannehill should help bring the boom back into Stills' boom-or-bust play style. He's... Read More
Kenyan Drake A Desperation Play In Week 12
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a desperation play in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Drake has ceded work to Frank Gore over the past few weeks and can't be relied on for consistent production. Indianapolis has allowed the 17th most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, meaning the matchup can't make up... Read More
Frank Gore A Flex Option In Week 12
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a flex option in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Gore is coming off a 13-carry, 90-yard performance in Week 10 against Green Bay before his bye week. Gore has been on the strong side of a split with Kenyan Drake, and should get more touches this week. Indianapolis has... Read More
Ryan Tannehill A Two-QB Option Only In Week 12
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill will return to the gridiron in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts. Tannehill hasn't played since Week 5 due to a shoulder injury. He was not a viable option in one-quarterback leagues before the injury, and is a low-end two-quarterback league play coming back. He was averaging under 13 points... Read More
Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Marty Mornhinweg and the Ravens took an alternative approach to their gameplan this week, and quarterback Lamar Jackson had a stat line that looked more like that of a bell cow running back than a quarterback. He rushed 27 times for 117 yards, while... Read More
Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Oh Dirk Koetter, how about a little decisiveness? A little conviction. No more waffling, no more flip-flopping, no more mid-game quarterback changes. You’re the head coach of an NFL football team for Pete’s sake. Your own team isn’t going anywhere, but at least stop...

Week 12 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
It was another week full of excitement, tragedy, and confusion at the quarterback position. We had some tough injuries, mid-game benchings, and several exciting deep league options at quarterback for Week 12. Only two teams are on bye this week, but they are big ones. No Patrick Mahomes or Jared Goff this week, as both... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Smith is done for the season after suffering a gruesome broken leg in Washington’s Week 11 loss to Houston, which leaves Colt McCoy as the Redskins' starter for the rest of the way.

Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Tw0-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens is still pretty green, as we saw in Week 10 against the Giants, but just about anyone is worthy of consideration against Tampa Bay’s defense. They have allowed at least 20 points in all games except one and... Read More
Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While he didn’t erupt against a bad defense, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning did everything required of him to pull out the win over Tampa Bay in Week 11. He had only one incompletion and nearly posted a perfect passer rating. That... Read More
Busts and Disappointments - 2018 Year-in-Review
Love ‘em or hate ‘em (and you probably hate ‘em), busts are a huge part of fantasy baseball. While it’s fun to gush over all the new breakout stars of 2018, we also need to reflect on the players that made us want to pull our hair out last season. Highly-drafted busts can be season... Read More
Week 11 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups
It was a good week for post-hype quarterbacks, as several former high draft picks or one-year sensations had nice games around the NFL. Dak Prescott leads the way, but there are multiple strong options for streaming on waivers this week. Six teams are on bye this week, but Tom Brady is the only widely-owned quarterback... Read More
Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off the bye, the Broncos and quarterback Case Keenum will have to figure out how to get Courtland Sutton more involved and utilize the receivers they have now that Demaryius Thomas is in Houston. Their Week 11 opponent, the L.A. Chargers, allow an average of 254 passing... Read More
Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles had a solid fantasy day in Week 10, putting up 21.6 points in a loss to Indianapolis.

Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was added in some leagues ahead of Sunday’s action as it was revealed that Joe Flacco might miss Week 11.

Josh Rosen (QB, ARI) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen was a little disappointing in Week 10 against the Chiefs, but in a week where many two-quarterback league types are on bye Rosen could make for a solid desperation streamer. Rosen has had exactly one good game this year,... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Titans shocked the Patriots this week with a commanding 34-10 win at home.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders had a nice day scoring in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to Green Bay in Week 10. He was four-of-four in field goals and scored all 12 of Miami's points. Sanders has been one of the most reliable kickers in the league this season, having missed just one field goal and... Read More

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant left their 31-12 loss to Green Bay early with a leg injury. Grant pulled up lame on his first and only target of the game.

DeVante Parker Heavily Targeted In Week 10
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was a key piece to the Dolphins game plan in Week 10, leading the team with 11 targets in their 31-12 loss to Green Bay.
