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.

BALLER MOVE: Speculative Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Look, no one's expecting him to get signed.

Jeremy Langford a Top Tier Injury Replacement
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Matt Forte is reportedly dealing with an MCL injury, meaning Langford becomes the next man up.

Week 8 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football
The NFL action in Week 7 was lacking something. What could it have been?... Oh! Three of the best five teams in the NFL didn't play. There were plenty of meaningless games, head-scratching blowouts, and devastating injuries in Week 7, leading to a ton of garbage time yardage and backups getting the chance to shine. Four...

Ladarius Green a Potential Top Option ROS
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green was a beast on Sunday. I know many critics and doubters will say that was only because Antonio Gates was out, but Green has proven he has value even when Gates does play. Rivers has been slinging the ball... Read More
Brandon LaFell Hopes to Knock Rust Off
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: That was certainly an inauspicious start to Brandon LaFell's 2015 season on Sunday.

Stay the Course with Matt Jones
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The Redskins' ground game has been a mess, but Jones was on the field more than Alfred Morris.

Michael Crabtree to Benefit from Raiders' Air Attack
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 61% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Michael Crabtree deserves to be one of the hottest names on the waiver wire, but unfortunately, 61 percent of people may have beaten you to the punch.

Has Michael Floyd Bounced Back?
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After the first three weeks of the 2015 season, if you had told me that I'd be featuring Michael Floyd in a wide receiver waive wire article, I would have called you crazy. Floyd had exactly two catches for 30 yards... Read More
FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 NFL Waiver Wire Targets
Week 7 was relatively quiet outside of Arian Foster being lost for the year, and even his replacements aren't really enticing. This week seems to be more about reminders from players who have played well before, but may be available due to their own bye weeks or coming back from an injury. Buffalo, Jacksonville, Philadelphia, and... Read More
Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 8 Pickups and Adds
Fantasy owners are going to be without Washington’s Jordan Reed, Buffalo’s Charles Clay, Jacksonville’s Julius Thomas and Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz this week.

Get Tricky and Pick Up Run DMC
BALLER MOVE: Add in all Leagues OWNED IN: 55% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Joseph Randle suffering a lower back injury, it was Darren McFadden who stepped in instead of Christine Michael.

Week 7 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football
Week 6 was odd. There's no other way to put it. Every RB in the AFC East (a division with historically poor running back play over the years) had a magnificent performance and seem poised for future success as well. On the contrary, Every back in the AFC West, which has purported impressive RB play... Read More
Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 7 Pickups and Adds
No Tyler Eifert, no Martellus Bennett, no Richard Rodgers…no problem? Four more teams are on bye this week, so fantasy owners are scrambling like Russell Wilson to fill in their blanks at the tight end position. And with Eifert (342 yards, six TD), Bennett (292 yards, two TD) and Rodgers (189, two TD) having the... Read More
FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 NFL Waiver Wire Targets
Week 6 saw quite a few notable players go down and miss some action, causing other guys to rack up some numbers that might be a genuine indicator of future output, or misleading.

BALLER MOVE: Add as Bye Week Fill-In OWNED IN: 43% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Carr is probably only eligible to be written about in this column for one week.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In two games starting for the Charles Johnson-less Vikings, Stefon Diggs has amassed 13 receptions for 216 yards. Those numbers might not be exciting, but the consistent usage and high yardage is promising. Diggs might not have the talent on his own... Read More
James Starks a Must-Add This Week & Beyond
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Even without this big game from Starks, only 20% ownership is insanely low for the handcuff of a RB that plays on one of the best offenses in the NFL. He's literally one injury away from being an RB1. Week 6 was... Read More

Three's Not a Crowd For Jamison Crowder
BALLER MOVE: FAAB Bid: $1 - 2 OWNED IN: 6% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: DeSean Jackson returning is going to cut into Jamison Crowder's snaps, but Washington can't be too picky when it comes to having someone effective on the offensive end. DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon will be good for them, but with Jordan Reed... Read More
Thomas Rawls a Nice Stash For Rest of Season
BALLER MOVE: FAAB Bid: $6 - 10 / Lynch Owner: $16 - 20 OWNED IN: 30% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Marshawn Lynch out in Week 5, Thomas Rawls was "the guy" again for Seattle over the veteran Fred Jackson.
