Logan Thomas - Week 13 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Rueben Randle a Giant Redzone Option
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As much as OBJ's fantasy owners would like it, Eli Manning can't throw to Beckham every single time. Victor Cruz was lost for the season so if the Giants want to salvage their season and escape the NFC "Least", someone else is going... Read More
Dontrelle Inman Could Lead Late Season Charge
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After injuries struck, it seemed like Philip Rivers' high flying offense was going to take a big hit. However, Inman finally made good on his projected increase in production. He reeled in five passes on nine targets for 65 yards and... Read More
Coby Fleener Buoyed by Hasselbeck
BALLER MOVE: OWNED IN: 52% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It’s official! Matt Hasselbeck improves a tight end’s fantasy value more than Andrew Luck does. You think I’m kidding? Look no further than Fleener’s game-by-game log this season. In the four games Hasselbeck started, Fleener has averaged 4.2 catches for 41 yards per contest. In the... Read More
Kyle Rudolph the Redzone Reindeer
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Quietly and quickly, Rudolph has become Teddy Bridgewater’s favorite pass catcher in Minnesota. While speedsters Mike Wallace and Cordarrelle Patterson have been stuck in the starting blocks all season long, the plodding Rudolph is now the one making big plays downfield. Wallace and...

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 13
Week 12 saw one big underdog, the Bears, take down the Packers on Thanksgiving night. Most of the favorites won on Sunday, excluding the Patriots and Giants. The 49ers kept their game against Arizona much closer than expected, and have looked better recently (read more below). Thank you NFL for finally giving us more than... Read More
Cameron Brate Coming on of Late
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At the same time, I'm tired of waiting and so is Cameron Brate apparently. Since the bye week, Brate's put up 3 touchdowns in 6 games while in a split with Brandon Myers. Well, the Bucs finally committed to one of the... Read More
Could Scott Chandler BE a Better TE Pickup?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chandler hasn't been that great for the Patriots outside of a few plays here and there, but if Gronk should miss any time- those targets will have to go to someone. It's looking less and less like Gronk's injury is going to... Read More
Time to Unleash Jay Ajayi?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At this point, it may behoove the Dolphins to just run the ball 40 times a game. Ryan Tannehill has looked awful, as has the offense as a whole. OC Bill Lazor was fired today, and his removal should yield more touched... Read More
Brandon Bolden a Bold Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 24% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember how I said James White was the de facto number two back behind LeGarrette Blount? Nobody told Brandon Bolden, who drastically outplayed White in Week 12, catching four passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. All three backs will be involved... Read More
Bilal Powell a Must-Own Handcuff
BALLER MOVE: Add as Ivory Handcuff OWNED IN: 22% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory is the unquestioned top dog in New York, but Bilal Powell is a more-than-capable complement. Prior to his Week 4 injury, Powell had at least 10 carries in each game, and also had 13 catches over the three weeks. Since... Read More
James White In Line for More Looks in New England
BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 41% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White became the default pass-catching back once Dion Lewis was lost for the season, but he's done very little in the role. That could change drastically given the injury Rob Gronkowski suffered in the Patriots' Week 12 defeat. Gronk evidently escaped with a... Read More
Theo Riddick Flexes His PPR Value
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 29% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Riddick sees very little work between the tackles, but his abilities as a pass-catcher are undeniable. If you're in a standard league, Riddick has less appeal due to his low touchdown total, but in any PPR format he is now a... Read More
Shaun Draughn Continues Being the Niner to Own
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Continuing to somehow show PPR Value, over the last 3 weeks Draughn has put up the 11th highest average per game amongst RBs in PPR. It seems consistent at this point that Draughn will put up 50 yards on the ground,... Read More
Finally Time to Fear Ameer?
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Finally! The Lions coaches have come to the decision that they don't want to get fired, so Ameer Abdullah has been reinstated as the lead back. Although Riddick is obviously the 2 minute drill guy, Abdullah will be seeing the majority of the on... Read More
David Johnson Next Up for Cardinals
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 58% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Both Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington suffered injuries on Sunday, making David Johnson the next man up. He's already owned in many leagues thanks to a lot of time he spent vulturing from the two backs ahead of him, but he's still present... Read More
Who? What? Ware?
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Spencer Ware is a big "who?" kind of name. One of the best non-NFL employed talent evaluators Matt Waldman wrote in depth about Ware, and stated when Ware entered the draft that he could be a great NFL-caliber back. Well, Ware showed his...

Week 12 Deeper Sleepers: Stacking Texans and Dealing With the Injury Bug
Did you enjoy the quick reprieve of mostly-injury-free football we experienced in Week 10? Good, because Week 11 was a bloodbath. We saw four high-end running backs go down (Devonta Freeman, Charcandrick West, Justin Forsett, Marshawn Lynch) along with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Zach Ertz leaving with concussions. Same rules as always - in this column we will... Read More
Week 12 Running back Depth Charts: Thomas Rawls, Eddie Lacy, Buck Allen and More
Now that all of the NFL bye weeks are in the past, it's time to get serious and look at the big picture for the remaining weeks of the regular season. Believe it or not, there is more than a handful of capable waiver wire options available across multiple league formats. The AFC East, for... Read More
Josh Huff Flying High as a Deep League Option
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The situation in Philadelphia is getting ugly. That game against Tampa Bay was a total embarrassment. For whatever reason, Mark Sanchez has not been able to recreate his chemistry with Jordan Matthews and as a result Josh Huff is getting some extra looks.... Read More
Cecil Shorts Not Short on Tricks in Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Cecil Shorts III was a jack of all trades on Sunday against the Jets. He threw for a touchdown, caught two passes, and ran the ball four times. I'm not saying Shorts is a threat to get one of each type of... Read More
James White Got Green Light on Monday Night
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The slew of injuries continue for the New England Patriots. Danny Amendola and Aaron Dobson went down for the Pats on Monday and their receiving corps is running very thin. The Patriots are the embodiment of the "next man up" mentality though,... Read More
Week 11 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
After eleven weeks of NFL action we’re dangerously close to the fantasy playoffs. By now you’re likely either in it or mathematically eliminated so I would assume that you’re still fighting for a playoff spot if you’re reading this. You’re going to see some playoff analysis sprinkled into the game-by-game breakdowns alongside the usual injury... Read More
Shaun Draughn is Drawing Some Flex Appeal
BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Draughn is showing surprisingly good PPR value as he's caught four and eight receptions in his last two games. Although the yardage and touchdown totals promise to stay low, he's becoming a potential every-week FLEX option as he handles three-down duties for the Blaine Gabbert-led... Read More
Grab Tevin Coleman While Freeman Recovers
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 46% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There was so much hype surrounding Tevin Coleman leading up to this year's fantasy drafts. It was clear he wasn't the right fit for Kyle Shanahan's scheme - but the highlight-reel-making player was viewed highly and was even given the starting job... Read More
FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 12 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Thomas Rawls, Buck Allen, Jameis Winston & More
While Week 8 was still the biggest fantasy football graveyard week for injuries, Week 11 was certainly no picnic either (and Monday Night Football has yet to go, bubble wrap your players). Pickups become more of the handcuff variety as most people who are going to break out or get a chance to break out,... Read More
Week 12 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Brent Celek, Vernon Davis and Zach Miller
There are no more byes to worry about, boys and girls. All healthy tight ends will be on the field this week and ready to rack up yards and touchdowns for their fantasy owners. So combing your league’s waiver wire for a decent tight end is probably not as necessary as it has been over... Read More
Week 12 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Jameis Winston, Brock Osweiler, Johnny Manziel
In Week 11, all three of my waiver wire streamers from last week's column reached double digits, but none of them really went off. I felt like Ryan Fitzpatrick really didn’t play well at all but he saved his day with a rushing score. On the opposite end, Alex Smith had a great game with... Read More
