James White's Role Growing for Pats
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There's still a difficult split happening between James White and Brandon Bolden, and despite Bolden out-touching White 14 to 1 on the ground, it's White that's showing more significant fantasy value. Maybe that's because he actually gets used in the redzone over... Read More
Add Denard Robinson for Your Fantasy Playoffs

Tim Hightower a High Pickup Priority
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Had the Mark Ingram news been made sooner, Hightower would've been on last weeks list. Hightower isn't much of a skilled player as he plodded is way to 85 yards on 28 carries but with that kind of volume, who really cares? The... Read More

If you're still actively looking for research on sleepers for fantasy football, congrats on making this far and you have a deep league.

Week 14 Running Back Depth Charts: Bilal Powell, David Johnson, Tim Hightower and More
With the better half of the league's running backs watching football from wheelchairs and hospital beds, there were not many stellar RB performances in Week 13.

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 14
The NFL is so impossible to predict. I was correct with my 49ers pick upsetting the Bears, but the Saints came up short against the Panthers. I had the Bills over the Texans, but the one lock of the year, New England, lost to the Eagles. There are no locks in football. It still doesn't... Read More
Clive Walford Jiving with Derek Carr
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Walford has slowly blipped on fantasy radars for a while now after scoring three touchdown sover a four-game span last month, but he hadn’t caught more than a pair of passes in any game until this past week.

Will Tye for Those in Do or Die Mode
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell’s neck injury has made the fantasy value of Tye very healthy.

Luke Willson Doing Some Good Will for Fantasy Teams
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Willson is no Jimmy Graham. Hell, he’s not even the best Willson/Wilson on his own offense.

Richard Rodgers Answering Prayers at TE?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Does the hail mary force Rodgers (the QB) to feed Rodgers (the TE)? We really don't know. Rodgers has been unreliable all year and very touchdown dependent, putting up less than 50 yards in all weeks prior to this one. Still, this is... Read More
Super-Sub Scott Chandler to the Rescue
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Scott Chandler saw seven targets in Gronk's absence, and was able to make good on them with four catches for 61 yards and a touchdown against a defense that had only allowed two touchdowns to the position all year.

Bilal Powell Powers His Way to PPR Relevance
BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 22% owned ANALYSIS: Powell's another player that's just not that talented and getting the most out of poor defensive play.

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 14 NFL Waiver Wire Targets
So Week 13 has come and gone with no real major injuries causing any little owned player to leap out as the "must-add" as we head into the playoff season. Allen Hurns is slated to return next week so Rashad Greene isn't too interesting, and Dontrelle Inman had a very scary looking neck injury but... Read More
Ameer Abdullah a Good Bench Stash
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 57% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ameer Abdullah is still a very skilled player, the only problem is he's playing on limited touches.

BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Charcandrick West OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Still available in most leagues, Ware and West are in a timeshare where Ware seems to have the redzone area on lockdown.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James White operated as the lead back for the majority of the Patriots game against the Eagles.

Respect Shaun Draughn
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 27% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Somehow Shaun Draughn has managed to find a startable FLEX floor in nearly any kind of league. He's seeing a regular 40 yards in the air and 40 yards on the ground and has become one of Blaine Gabbert's most used... Read More
Javorius Allen Turning the Volume Up
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 56% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Still available on just under half of all waiver wires, Allen is proving to be a much better player than expected- kinda.

Brian Hoyer a Dependable QB ROS
BALLER MOVE: Add as QB Streamer OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brian Hoyer disappointed a bit in Sunday's juicy matchup against the Saints, but New Orleans really didn't give him a need to air the ball out.

Tyler Lockett the Rocket
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett has been an all or nothing option for the Seahawks this season.
