RotoBallers, It is Feb. 11th and we are all in midst of planning our upcoming baseball drafts. Naturally, that means one of the most popular questions being asked is “who are the top sleepers to target?” Of course, if we actually knew who the top sleepers were, then those players wouldn’t actually be sleepers. Thus, the […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: For Week 16, Colin Kaepernick sits at the top of a very thin pile of quarterback streaming options. After two down weeks, he returned to the fantasy-producing streamer we’ve become accustomed to seeing in Week 15 at Atlanta. The 49ers travel to […]
John Smith 8 years agoJoe Flacco (QB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has had an on-and-off 2016, looking great in some instances and mediocre in others. Whether you're a believer or not, he sits near the top of a thin streamer pile for Week 16. In standard leagues, he scored 29.24 points […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford has quietly put together two consecutive quality fantasy outings against Dallas and Jacksonville after two duds against Arizona and Detroit. With the steam Bradford has been picking up as of late, he’s a no-brainer streamer against the Colts for Week […]

Week 15 brings another favorable matchup for Smith. While it’s far less certain he’ll […]
John Smith 8 years agoColin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Even after a so-so outing against the Jets in Week 14, Colin Kaepernick is the most appealing streamer this week against the NFL’s worst pass defense. The Falcons continue to be a defense to target in 2016, and for good reason. The […]

John Smith 8 years agoAlex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After an extremely favorable showing in a difficult matchup at Denver in Week 12, Alex Smith could only muster 12.50 points in standard scoring leagues with a favorable matchup at Atlanta in Week 13. Given the way that game went though, there were more points to […]
John Smith 8 years agoBrock Osweiler (QB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team 2QB and 12-Team STD Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I almost felt sick recommending Brock Osweiler as a streamer in two-quarterback leagues for Week 13, but he rewarded that recommendation handsomely with 202 yards and two touchdowns for 17.28 fantasy points in standard scoring leagues. With a road date in Indianapolis in […]
John Smith 8 years agoRyan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Not too long ago, it would have been unfathomable to consider streaming Ryan Fitzpatrick even in two-quarterback leagues. When the Jets returned from their bye week against the Pats though, Fitzpatrick looked more like the 2015 “Fitzmagic” than the quarterback we’ve seen for most […]
John Smith 8 years agoJared Goff (QB, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-Team 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: A week after throwing three touchdowns in New Orleans, Jared Goff predictably fell way back down to earth in Week 13 when the Rams couldn’t get much going in New England. Week 14 poses a much easier matchup for the rookie quarterback when the […]
John Smith 8 years agoColin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Since taking over the 49ers’ starting quarterback job in Week 6, Colin Kaepernick has unexpectedly been a fantasy revelation.

Of course, he also ended the game by coughing up a fumble, but that’s neither […]
John Smith 8 years agoSam Bradford (QB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After a string of solid fantasy starts, Sam Bradford has had a rough couple of weeks. Over his past two games, he’s only thrown for 169 and 224 yards, respectively, with one touchdown pass. It’s a stark contrast from the two games prior, when […]
John Smith 8 years agoAlex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With a matchup like against a team like the Falcons, Alex Smith would normally be an easy choice as a QB1 streamer. However, 2016 has not gone Smith’s way. His 230.8 yards passing per game are a career high, but his 54 yards rushing […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill has had an up-and-down season, and while Week 11's effort was far from his best, it certainly wasn’t his worst, either. Traveling to the west coast to play the Rams, Tannehill only threw for 172 yards but also tossed two […]
John Smith 8 years agoSam Bradford (QB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford just keeps on chugging along in what has been a quietly efficient season for the veteran quarterback. Bradford wasn’t spectacular against Arizona’s elite pass defense in Week 11, but held his own by finishing 20-of-28 for 169 yards and a […]
John Smith 8 years agoJoe Flacco (QB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has done his part to take advantage of a weak schedule— over the last three weeks, he’s averaged 17.45 fantasy points. Baltimore’s nice schedule continues in Week 12 when they stay at home to take on the division rival Bengals. […]
John Smith 8 years agoJosh McCown (QB, CLE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Cody Kessler suffering his second concussion of the season in Week 11, it’s highly probable we’ll see Josh McCown under center for Cleveland in Week 12 against the Giants. McCown certainly didn’t impress on Sunday against Pittsburgh, nor did he in Week […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Alex Smith returned from his concussion in Week 10 in what should have been a favorable matchup at Carolina, but the results simply weren’t there. He finished a very underwhelming 25-of-38 for 178 yards with an interception and no touchdowns. Things get […]
John Smith 8 years agoBrock Osweiler (QB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brock Osweiler is coming off a game in Jacksonville in which he put up a very respectable point total for two-quarterback leagues, but that was largely boosted by his two touchdown passes, as he only threw for 99 yards. The much-maligned Raiders defense has […]
John Smith 8 years agoCody Kessler (QB, CLE) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: During a terrible showing on Thursday Night Football in Week 10, Cody Kessler found himself riding the pine mid-game in favor of Josh McCown.
