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

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.

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.

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

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...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: That's right, Vernon Davis is now a Bronco.

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.

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
