Week 10 DraftKings Cheap Tournament Plays: Blake Bortles, Theo Riddick, Rueben Randle & More!

Here we go, into the double digit weeks already. Week 10 is here and ready to make dreams come true. We're here because there is plenty of value calling far down on the player lists in DraftKings' player pool. There are a few big games this week with high projected point totals that we'll want […]

Fantasy Football Fallers: Chris Ivory, Ronnie Hillman, Eli Manning & More

Week 9 had quite a lot of players going off, though rest assured there were still plenty of disappointments to go around. There were also some stat lines that are deceptively strong, but shroud the truth that the game could have been much better. There were also the injuries to Ben Roethlisberger (foot) Teddy Bridgewater […]

Fantasy Football Risers: Jordan Matthews, Derek Carr, Sammy Watkins & More

Where has the time gone? We are knee deep in the second half of the regular season now, and while we'd all like to think we have a grasp on player and team trends, each week of football serves to remind us that "any given Sunday" is a real thing. We have upsets, expectations that […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 10 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

While Week 8 was a disaster for injuries (and thus a gold mine on the waiver wire), Week 9 only has a few must add types. That said, some names that became relevant thanks to fallout from Week 8 may still available because they were on a bye. Week 10 will have the Falcons, Colts, […]

Week 9 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Week 9 is upon us, and the player pool resembles some sort of memorial to those who fell in last week's injury plague. Make sure you're aware of who is playing hurt and who isn't playing at all, and who stands to gain as a result. We have plenty of great pieces here at RotoBaller […]

Grab Richard Rodgers at His Low Point

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rodgers hasn’t scored since Week 4, and his ownership levels have reflected a mellowing out on the Rodgers’ hype. The horrible showing for the Green Bay Packers against the strong Denver Broncos’ defense only helped make Richard Rodgers (and every passing […]

Will Tye: Deep League Guy

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In the words of Giants’ head coach Tom Coughlin, “he’s got to be the guy”. Tye is the only healthy tight end left on the roster for the New York Giants. Kevin Boss isn’t coming back for a last hurrah, sadly […]

Michael Floyd: Back In the Circle of Trust

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Reports have come out that Floyd has leapfrogged John Brown on the Cardinals’ depth chart for #2 duties. This comes on the heels of three very strong games out of Floyd. He has found the end zone in Weeks 6, 7, […]

Devin Smith: Deep Dynasty League Stash

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Dynasty Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Smith is owned in more leagues than Jeremy Kerley, but he has been dealing with an ankle injury and continues to miss practice. As such, Kerley is the third receiver still with Quincy Enunwa suspended and Smith banged up. Devin […]

Look to Jeremy Kerley in Deep PPR Leagues

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeremy Kerley is operating as the Jets #3 receiver, the slot man, as Quincy Enunwa still has two games left on his suspension. Kerley saw four targets in the game against the Patriots, reeling in three of them for receptions […]

Does Lance Moore Deserve More of Your Attention?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Surprisingly enough, Lance Moore has caught touchdowns in three of the past four weeks. Unfortunately that “other” week he laid an egg. He has only had two really impressive games so far this year, coming in Weeks 5 and 6 against […]

Grab Theo Riddick - Certified PPR Expert

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Lions got embarrassed across the pond on Sunday morning by the Kansas City Chiefs. While this meant some good catchup mode work for Theo Riddick, it still didn’t translate to any points being scored or any real prime opportunities […]

Time to Scoop Up Ahmad Bradshaw?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It would’ve been nice to see Ahmad Bradshaw get more work in the Indianapolis Colts’ offense than he has so far. Bradshaw had a season high seven rushes for 31 yards against the Carolina Panthers on Monday night, but didn’t […]

Deep League Diving: Stevan Ridley (RB, NYJ)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Stevan Ridley was active for the first time this year in the Jets’ Week 8 loss to the Oakland Raiders. It was a weird game for the Jets, as they lost Ryan Fitzpatrick early in the game to a ligament tear […]

Shaun Draughn (RB, SF) - A Powerball Ticket Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, if you’re in need of a lottery ticket here you are. Shaun Draughn (not to be confused with Reuben Droughns) was signed by the San Francisco 49ers in a depth move after Reggie Bush suffered a torn MCL and is […]

Fantasy Stock Down? Andy Dalton, Chris Ivory, Danny Woodhead & More

It's very difficult to write any sort of reactionary piece on the heels of Week 8 that doesn't just totally hone in on the plethora of injuries that struck the NFL this past week. Many of these blurbs will relate to them, but we'll attempt to look at some fallers that may have slipped through […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 9: Risers From Week 8

It's very difficult to write any sort of reactionary piece on the heels of Week 8 that doesn't just totally hone in on the plethora of injuries that struck the NFL this past week. Many of these blurbs will relate to them, but we'll attempt to look at some risers that may have slipped through […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 9 NFL Waiver Wire Targets

Week 8 was deemed an injury wasteland before the early games were even over. Some notable names that left the field yesterday: LeVeon Bell, Matt Forte, Steve Smith, Reggie Bush, Khiry Robinson, Orleans Darkwa, Larry Donnell, Keenan Allen, Kendall Wright, Eddie Royal, Nate Washington, and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Bell, Smith and Bush are confirmed out for the […]

Todd Gurley and Tavon Austin Shine for Rams in Win Over Hapless 49ers

The St. Louis Rams did not have a good start to the 2015 season. It appears that is most definitely in the past. While the San Francisco 49ers aren’t exactly the perfect measuring stick to calculate your own talent against, the Rams have come out firing lately on the heels of a very strong defense, […]

Peyton Manning and the Broncos Defense Silence Green Bay in a Sunday Night Beatdown

The Denver Broncos came into their Sunday night matchup with the Green Bay Packers as home underdogs. This is a bit strange considering the Broncos are undefeated, and yet didn’t get the respect from Las Vegas when the lines were drawn. Of course, the Packers were undefeated coming into Sunday night as well, looking strong […]

Sunday Sleepers: Teddy Bridgewater, Charles Sims, Nate Washington, Crockett Gillmore

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIN) - @CHI Just like last week when Bridgewater was in this piece thanks to the weak opponent he was facing (the Detroit Lions), the Chicago Bears secondary gives him a chance to repeat. He put up 22.7 in last week's matchup against a terrible secondary, and the hope here is that […]

Jay Cutler, Jonathan Stewart, Marvin Jones, Larry Donnell: Week 8 Lineup Booms

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - vs. MIN The Minnesota Vikings defense has shown a few cracks recently, but they're still a strong unit overall. The Chicago Bears are coming off of a bye week and should be rested, healthy, and prepared to attack Minnesota and defend home field. What I don't think a bye week […]

Week 8 DraftKings Deeper Sleeper Tournament Plays

Here we go again folks. If you want to just scroll a bit to the picks, be my guest, but first I want to briefly touch on the DFS trends of late as well as some more chalky plays. Week 8 is here and for the sake of consistency I'll stick with the tournaments that […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Fallers From Week 7

Week 7 is just another page in the history books. Eddie Lacy was on a bye so he couldn't disappoint yet again, but we still had plenty of notable performances that demand context and further investigation. Again, we're not here to talk about how good Julio Jones is or how much Nick Foles stinks. Without further […]

2015 Fantasy Football Week 8: Risers From Week 7

Week 7 has come and gone, and now it is time to look back at some players who really saw their stock jump thanks to their performance this past weekend. Some players have just been forgotten about due to a bye, some quiet weeks, or an injury, but here we are to peek in at […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has had to navigate some pretty treacherous waters recently with most of his crew below deck nursing their respective ailments. Missing Steve Smith hurt Flacco dearly, and then Crockett Gillmore also missed some action and Justin Forsett was playing […]

Roddy White (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: If you’re in deeper leagues you could do a lot worse than Roddy White. He is starting to work back into the Falcons’ receiving rotation, though he is still only averaging four targets per game, and it doesn’t seem like that […]

Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 7 was very disappointing for Dorial Green-Beckham and his owners, as well as the Tennessee Titans. Green-Beckham was coming off of a Week 6 game against Miami that saw his role expand, as he got three receptions on six targets […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Rueben Randle may still not have been 100% with his hamstring going into Week 7, though he should be darn close. He continues to average about six targets per game, and unfortunately he could only turn two of those into receptions […]

Leonard Hankerson (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Leonard Hankerson was ruled out of Week 7’s game against the Titans with a hamstring injury. The injury, combined with his past two games being poor (one of which he also exited early thanks to an injury) have meant that his […]
