Richard Rodgers (TE, GB) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jordy Nelson out for the season there are a lot of targets to go around in Green Bay.

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash as Backup QB in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In week 1 you probably don't need a QB fill-in.

Terrance West (RB, TEN) - Waiver Wire Analysis
BALLER MOVE: Stash in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: West isn't an especially talented running back, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry behind a very good run blocking Cleveland Browns offensive line. Once again though, this is about opportunity. Titans starting running back, sophomore Bishop Sankey, was equally as mediocre last season with a... Read More
