Devin Funchess Worth a Shot in Deep Leagues
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After a solid showing in Week nine, Devin Funchess failed to deliver in Week 10. Before the season started, many were looking at Funchess as a sleeper pick once Kelvin Benjamin went down. This hasn't happened but there could still be some... Read More
Doug Baldwin Flying High for Seahawks
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In a crazy Sunday night game, Doug Baldwin looked really good for the Seattle Seahawks. Baldwin caught seven of his 10 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown. The 10 targets were a team high, and he was responsible for over half... Read More
Be Patient with James White
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: We all knew James White wouldn't be as good as Dion Lewis, but the pedestrian outing on Sunday afternoon had to be cause for concern for his fantasy owners. Let's take a closer look at why James White wasn't a factor... Read More
NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 11
I really thought NFL Doomsday was a once a year thing. In Week 3 I wrote, "NFL Doomsday has come and gone. Hopefully that will be the last week of its kind this season." Unfortunately I was wrong. This week was more devastating though. How did the Packers lose to the Lions? How did the Bengals... Read More
Don't Ya Miss Out on Jamize Olawale
BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 0% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: You can't use him this week because he is on bye, but he has clearly replaced Andre Williams in the Giants running back rotation. As a Giants fan I have no clue why the team isn't leaning on Rashad Jennings on... Read More
The Other Run DMC: Dexter McCluster
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 16% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While I continue to suggest picking up Tennessee's starting running back, Antonio Andrews, I do believe that Dexter McCluster can be used in a pinch, especially during the last week of byes. Again, Tennessee has Jacksonville (twice) and Oakland over the... Read More
What the Hell, Take a Shot on Joique Bell
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It was certainly not a pretty week for Bell, who totaled only 35 yards on the day, but it is the 16 total touches that has me intrigued. Granted, the Lions were up, surprisingly, for a majority of this game and... Read More
Hang on to Antonio Andrews
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I thumped my chest last week and continued to pump the tires of Antonio Andrews headed into week 10's matchup against the undefeated Carolina Panthers. Andrews disappointed with only 8 yards on 11 carries, but I'm not going to back down from my... Read More
This is the Draughn You're Looking For
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 7% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Star Wars reference aside, Shaun Draughn is looking like the back to own in San Francisco. I mentioned Draughn last week as he entered his week 10 bye coming off a 20 touch, 96 yard performance in his first appearance as a... Read More
Garrett Celek a Hail Mary Play in Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The younger brother of twice-mentioned Brent Celek had been quieter than a kid with soap in his mouth all season --- until the man, the myth, the legend, Blaine Gabbert took over as San Francisco’s signal caller. Celek produced immediately when Gabbert... Read More
Crockett Gillmore Trending Up in Baltimore
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The targets are up for grabs in Baltimore! With Steve Smith sidelined for the season, and with the Ravens lacking depth and talent at wide receiver (to put it mildly), the door is open for Gillmore to become Joe Flacco’s second-favorite pass... Read More
Need Help at TE? Looks like Ertz, Don't It?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ertz has had a harder time finding the end zone this season than Peyton Manning had finding Broncos receivers this past Sunday. The poor guy has not scored and is averaging a career-low 10.6 yards per catch. You would think between this... Read More

Ah, fantasy football. Don't you just love it? Sometimes you can do all the research in the world, study matchups for hours, look at who's hot or cold and who's injured, when really the player you were looking for was sitting on the waiver wire, just waiting to be claimed. Case in point, let's look... Read More

Week 10 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
The most recent slate of NFL action had a bunch of bizarre developments across the board. In fact, I would go as far as to say that fantasy aside, week ten might have been the most telling week of the year thus far as it pertains to the real life outcomes of the season. That... Read More
The Fall of a Legend: Peyton Manning
The adage goes that Father Time is undefeated, and on Sunday he claimed another victim. Peyton Manning was simply terrible against the Kansas City Chiefs. The future Hall of Famer threw four interceptions and had absolutely nothing behind his throws. It was so bad that the Broncos turned to backup quarterback Brock Osweiler. After the... Read More
FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 11 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Danny Amendola, Matt Jones, Tyrod Taylor & More
With each passing week of the NFL season, the waiver wire options are going to get thinner and thinner. Pickups become more of the handcuff variety as most people who are going to break out or get a chance to break out, have done so. Injuries really are the biggest source of pickups. It becomes...

Week 10 RB Depth Charts: James White, Latavius Murray, DeAngelo Williams, Matt Forte & More
Week 9 shall be dubbed the week of the handcuff. Two of the top three scorers this week were backup running backs just a week ago, thrust into prominence by injury or other circumstances. On the contrary some of the top scoring backs from this season took a step backwards in Week 9, particularly a... Read More
The New and Improved Jay Cutler
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I know a lot of people still want no part of Jay Cutler after the letdowns of seasons past, but it's time to recognize. Cutler has been playing very well this season despite the slew of injuries that have hit his offense.... Read More

NFL Survivor League Picks – Targets & Avoids for Week 10
Last week was one of my best weeks picking. Not only did my three teams win, but they all covered the spread. This week features much easier games, with heavy favorites. The Jets open the week hosting the Bills in the much overhyped "Rex Ryan returning to New York" game. There are four divisional games,... Read More

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,... Read More
Look to Owen Daniels if You're Desperate at TE
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Denver Broncos did not trade for former San Francisco 49er Vernon Davis because they wanted to run a ton of three-tight sets or because Daniels was having such a superb season (more like subpar) and wanted the twosome to team up. Make... Read More
Ahmad Bradshaw a Sneaky PPR Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 13% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Well, he scored this week so that's something. This is very clearly Frank Gore's job. However, I still think Bradshaw could carve out a role similar to when he was thriving last season as the pass catching back. Remember, Bradshaw was... Read More
Shaun Draughn the Back to Own in San Fran?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 1% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Perhaps the most available pickup of the week, Draughn was the lead back in San Francisco in Carlos Hyde's absence. Draughn grabbed 20 touches, turning them into 96 total yards in a surprising win over the Atlanta Falcons. Popular week 9 pickup,... Read More
Scoop Up Richard Rodgers if You Need TE Help
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 33% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The hype surrounding "the other Rodgers" in his rookie season has not come to fruition in his sophomore year. Still, for desperate owners, Rodgers plays with the best QB in the NFL and could start putting together touchdowns if the offense can... Read More
