Logan Thomas - Week 13 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Don't Sleep on This Lion: Eric Ebron
BALLER MOVE: Add in all 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% Ownership on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In my opinion, the second best waiver option out there for this position is Eric Ebron. Ebron is somehow the 10th highest ranked fantasy tight end and yet only sees ownership in a third of leagues. With Calvin Johnson injured,... Read More
Austin Sefarian-Jenkins a Great Injury Stash
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 50% Ownership on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The hardest market to find waiver pickups is always at tight end. ASJ should be returning to the lineup next week (or soon), and should have the highest upside of any tight end you can find on the waivers. The Buccaneers are going... Read More
Antonio Andrews Named Starter for Rest of 2015
OWNED IN: 40% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There probably won't be many weeks this season where Andrews faces a defense nearly as bad as the Saints, but at least when he does you can be sure that he'll be startable. Andrews was recently blessed by Mike Mularkey as the starter for the rest of... Read More
James White/Brandon Bolden: Deep League Additions
BALLER MOVE: Add James White in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: (White) 19% Owned on Fleaflicker / (Bolden) 19% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dion Lewis is currently undergoing an MRI for what's being called a "loose ACL", whatever that means. As injury news comes out detailing how long Lewis will be out for, the race will be... Read More
James Starks a Must-Own Moving Forward
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James Starks has been able to outplay top five fantasy pick Eddie Lacy this season - and although it seemed like Lacy had returned last week, Starks was quick to re-establish himself as the best option for the Packers after he was... Read More
Karlos Williams Continues to Reward Owners
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Karlos Williams has been one of the biggest surprises in this year's rookie RB crop. He came out of the draft with nearly no hype (in fact, most of what I've seen on him was negative) and barely saw his stock rise... Read More

Week 9 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football
Week 8 was just awful. It was a gut-wrenching week for fantasy owners as a handful of key pieces were silenced by serious injuries. If you were fortunate enough to have a healthy roster by the end of this week's action, count your blessings. There was simply a shortage of dominant performances from RBs all... Read More
Joique Bell the RB to Own in Detroit?
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: So much for Ameer Abdullah. Many owners were hoping for a Lamar Miller-like resurgence from "AA" after the coaching change in Detroit. Unfortunately, Abdullah is deeper in the doghouse than Snoopy during a blizzard. With Zenner out, this leaves Theo Riddick... Read More
Matt Jones Still a Viable RB Option
BALLER MOVE: Add in All 10 + Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% Owned in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After the Bye week to rest up and get healthy, I think Matt Jones is poised to have a solid second half. DeSean Jackson is back and that should help Kirk Cousins spread the field a bit. Jordan... Read More
Chris Givens Worth a Look as Smith Sr. Replacement
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: It was truly heart wrenching to see Steve Smith Sr.'s career potentially end due to a ruptured Achilles Tendon on Sunday. A true warrior and pretty much Joe Flacco's main option in the passing game this season. Things continue to get worse... Read More
Give Crockett Gillmore Some More Fantasy Love
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Just like Chris Givens and Kamar Aiken, Crockett Gillmore should benefit from the loss of Steve Smith Sr. Tight ends are sparse and although Gillmore hasn't had a relevant fantasy day aside from Week 2, he should now be Flacco's top endzone...

Week 9 Deeper Sleepers: Things Are Going to Get Wild
Welcome to our season-long segment at RotoBaller where we will be targeting players owned in 25% or less of Fleaflicker leagues. Week 8 was not kind to fantasy owners or my picks. Le'Veon Bell, Steve Smith Sr., Reggie Bush, Matt Forte, and Ryan Fitzpatrick all went down with injuries, with the first three names out... Read More
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... Read More
Heath Miller a Great Plug N' Play for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add as Bye Week Fill-In OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The ageless Miller brushed the grey hair out of his eyes this past Sunday and saw the passes coming to him clearly. After catching just 17 balls all season coming into last weekend’s action, Miller shocked the fantasy world (and probably... Read More
Benjamin Watson Continues to Roll
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Watson was the top tight end to sign up in my column two weeks ago, but most fantasy owners either ignored him or grabbed him for just one week and then dropped him again. Watson is available in more than half of... Read More
Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 9 Pickups and Adds
Week 9 is when the most fantasy football owners around the world will be searching for tight ends on the waiver wire. Not only is Week 9 the only week during the NFL season that six teams are on bye instead of the usual two-to-four, the caliber of the tight ends taking the week off... Read More
Week 9 Kicker (K) Streamers and Starts: 2015 Fantasy Tiers & Rankings
It's Week 9 RotoBallers and we're obsessing over place kickers again! Yes, that’s right – kickers. After all, points are points, and even though kickers are very difficult to predict for fantasy points week to week, having the right one in your Week 9 lineup could be a difference maker. We're here to give you that life... Read More
Can Peyton Manning Resurrect Vernon Davis' Career?
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: That's right, Vernon Davis is now a Bronco. One of the greatest athletes at the position of all time, Davis will be given a chance to recharge his career with a Peyton led team including a Gary Kubiak offense that has... Read More
Roll the Dice on Jacob Tamme for Some TE Help
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jacob Tamme comes in and out of relevance. It's hard to rely on him, but I like momentum. Tamme's not worth spending a high waiver pick on, but if you're desperate he has value as long as Hankerson is injured and defenses... Read More
Hail Mary Play: Hope Chris Polk Pokes One In
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 22% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: As most predicted, it was Alfred Blue who led the Texans backfield in touches in the team's first game without Arian Foster. Blue rushed for just 39 yards on 14 carries while catching five passes for 33 yards. This performance certainly did not... Read More
Theo Riddick: Bad Team, Reliable Option
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 31% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Another absolute disaster of a game for the Lions. At this point it is almost a guarantee that they will be down and down big and that is when Riddick does most of his damage as a dynamic pass catcher. It... Read More
Stay Ahead of the Curve and Add Karlos Williams
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 44% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The rookie bruiser should finally be back at 100% after a lengthy absence due to a concussion, and as his health returns so does his fantasy value. Williams is a much better inside runner than the jumping-and-cutting LeSean McCoy, and has already... Read More
Antonio Andrews Plods into Fantasy Relevance
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Andrews was the clear leader in the backfield this past weekend, receiving 19 touches in a loss to the Texans. With Tennessee down the entire game, one may have expected to see more Dexter McCluster in this one, but it was Andrews... Read More
Recent Injury Bug Could Open Door for Ben Tate
BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Man, remember Ben Tate? Everyone use to be so excited about this guy before he had a rough, rough season with the Browns that involved losing his job to Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West (who have both lost their jobs). Well,... Read More
Bid Aggressively on DeAngelo Williams
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 54% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: He's already owned in most leagues, but if you're in one where he isn't, he has to be owned now. During the two weeks Bell was out, Williams somehow managed to be amongst the top fantasy running backs and is on his... Read More
Orleans Darkwa a Not So Dark Horse RB Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Orleans Darkwa would leave the game early on against the Saints, but once again he looked like a good running back on the NFL field. I'd be more than willing to take Darkwa on most rosters I have and hope that he... Read More
Could David Cobb Give Your Team a Titanic Boost?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 39% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: We're getting closer to the time of the season where Cobb returns and carries everyone into the promise land of the playoffs. Nah, not really. But he's going to likely do better than any of the current backs are playing in Tennessee.... Read More
Ray Rice a Good Stash for Desperate Owners?
BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Look, no one's expecting him to get signed. I'm not going to tell you to drop a player for him either but if you've got the spot open why not? Le'Veon Bell, Matt Forte, and even Reggie Bush's injury opens up the need for... Read More
