NBA teams have a multitude of players coming off the bench, each with a unique role to fill.

Bilal Powell (RB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Forte exited after just three carries with an apparent knee injury, giving Powell the chance to face the 49ers' leaky run defense. He did as expected, carrying 29 times for 145 yards and two touchdowns, including a game-winning score in overtime. He won't get San Fran […]

Kenneth Farrow (RB, SD) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues as a Melvin Gordon handcuff/replacement OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Melvin Gordon being carted off the field undoubtedly caused many fantasy owners to pull their hair out in this important week. He will get an MRI on his hip Monday to determine his status, but for now is uncertain for Week 15. Kenneth […]

Justin Forsett (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The numbers weren't pretty in his Denver debut, but the one that should be noted is snap share. Forsett carried the ball six time for 17 yards, including a fumble, but he was on the field just as much as Devontae Booker. Forsett took 26 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: A position switch might be just what the doctor ordered for Dario Saric, who has been off to a slow offensive start in his rookie year, shooting just .388 from the field. He moved out of the starting lineup and onto the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Just when it looked like Josh Richardson was ready to make an impact, he goes down again with an ankle injury, joining Dion Waiters and Justise Winslow on the sidelines.

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as a handcuff for Rashad Jennings OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Shane Vereen may return to action next week just in time to face the division rival Cowboys. He began practicing last week, but hasn't officially been activated. Vereen's arrow was pointing up when he injured his triceps in Week 3. In that game he combined […]

Derrick Henry (RB, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues as a Demarco Murray handcuff OWNED IN: 60% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Titans were the last NFL team to have a bye (technically Cleveland counts too), so nothing has changed with Henry. We learned that he will see most of his opportunities toward the end of either half when the Titans are […]

Mike Gillislee (RB, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 31% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It's perplexing to see his ownership level drop so far, but that could work to your advantage if you have room to stash an RB entering the fantasy playoffs. Gillislee showed again that any runner in Buffalo has value by scoring two TDs even with a […]

Christine Michael (RB, SEA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash for his Week 15 matchup OWNED IN: 44% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It was hard for anyone to gain traction on the frozen tundra in Week 13.

Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Avoid in Week 14 OWNED IN: 34% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: For the first time in five weeks, Kenneth Dixon saw his usage go down. Dixon owners might also be dismayed to see that Terrance West scored twice, but Dixon was still effective when used. He finished Baltimore's rout of Miami with 56 yards on six carries and […]

Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues as a Doug Martin handcuff OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jacquizz Rodgers has made his return from injury before Charles Sims and was on the field more often than expected in Week 13.

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Samoan Sledgehammer was held out of the end zone for the first time in four weeks. Matt Asiata will not get you much yardage and he only has 23 receptions in 12 games. He is a goal-line vulture, plain and simple. Fortunately, the Vikes face a […]

Wendell Smallwood (RB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Wendell Smallwood had a great chance to stand out with Ryan Mathews still sidelined in Week 13, but was shut down by the Bengals instead. Smallwood ran for 19 yards on eight carries and was taken completely out of the offense when the Eagles fell behind 26-0. […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Rex Burkhead outrushed starter Jeremy Hill despite carrying the ball 15 fewer times. Neither total was particularly impressive, as Burkhead managed 38 rushing yards and 28 receiving. He will continue to play second fiddle to Hill, so it would be a mistake to expect […]

Akeem Hunt (RB, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add as a handcuff for Lamar Miller OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lamar Miller seemed to tweak his ankle on the very last series of the game against San Diego. If this causes him to miss time next week, Akeem Hunt becomes an intriguing add. He appeared out of nowhere two in Week 10 to run for […]

Charles Sims (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Bucs had no healthy running backs just a couple of weeks ago, but now they may have their top two runners back again. Doug Martin will retain the lead role, but Sims is on track to return in Week 14 and claim his share of […]
