Wide Receiver Standouts of the 2015-2016 NFL Season

Mark Sanchez Traded To Broncos
The Broncos have acquired "The Sanchize" from the Eagles for a conditional draft pick.

The Broncos understand that they don't need a star QB with their elite defense, but they are frankly... Read More
Eagles Sending Kiko Alonso And Byron Maxwell To Dolphins

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Most fantasy owners and pundits probably assumed that Baltimore’s pass offense would go down the drain faster than your mother-in-law’s cold onion soup once Joe Flacco suffered his season-ending injury.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: McDonald has taken over as San Francisco’s starting tight end since Garrett Celek sprained an ankle and has quietly been solid.

Zach Ertz the Target Monster
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ertz’s 2015 campaign was rockier than Rick Perry’s presidential campaign. He went without a touchdown catch for the first 10 games and missed a week due to a concussion. But at least Ertz’s 2015 is ending on a much higher note than... Read More

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

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. If Gronk's out... Read More
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.

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.

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
