Charcandrick West's Value Going North Fast
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I'll admit, I feel strange typing this name. Back in week 1, myself along with every analyst in the world would have told you that without a doubt, Knile Davis was the Jamaal Charles handcuff. However, in the past few weeks, people... Read More

Week 6 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football
Week 5 of NFL action brought a lot of surprises and bad news for many. The most glaring concern is the injury to Chiefs star running back Jamaal Charles.

Week 5 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football
Week 4 is in the books and trends are starting to emerge in the NFL. The league's running back situation is surprising to say the least. Four of the top-10 fantasy RBs were assumed to be backups at the beginning of the year. Heck, some of them are still backups capitalizing on injuries in their... Read More
Scramble to Add Michael Vick in Week 5
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ or 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 19% percent of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Vick’s first start with the Steelers wasn’t pretty, but I didn’t expect much. Being thrust into the starting role on a short week is incredibly tough. Especially so for Vick, who wasn’t signed until the end of August. Now he... Read More
Blake Bortles: Your Sneaky Week 5 Waiver Pickup at QB
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% percent of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Bortles hasn't been pretty but he has now provided three straight respectable fantasy weeks. During that span he has averaged 271 yards passing and has racked up 5 touchdowns to just 1 turnover. He has also run for 20+ yards in three... Read More
Clay Harbor: Deep League Tight End Option in Week 5
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville’s offense is not being confused with Mike Martz’s “Greatest Show on Turf” teams these days, but the Jags’ young kids are beginning to show signs that they are headed in the right direction. While defenses focus the bulk of their attention... Read More
Larry Donnell (TE, NYG) Could Be Gold vs 49ers in Week 5
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Giants tight end has not been the fantasy force he was in 2014 when he came out of oblivion to rack up 63 receptions for 623 yards and six touchdowns. This season has been an entirely different story,... Read More

Week 3 NFL Recap: Injuries & Game by Game Analysis
Is it me or has the 2015 NFL fantasy season been predominantly determined by injuries and underperforming superstars? Nearly every game on the slate has a storyline featuring the injury bug or a lackluster showing from a highly drafted stud. Either way, the goal as per usual here is to make heads or tails of...

Week 3 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football
Week 2 was full of wacky and wild performances and the injury bug was in full contagion. For the most part, injuries were isolated to quarterbacks, defensive players and big men. Oddly enough, most running backs were spared. That didn't stop a handful of teams from completely changing their rushing attack over the course of... Read More
Week 2 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
If you managed to weather the storm of Week Two’s brutal injuries and dud performances to the tune of a win, congratulations.

Between a slew of quarterback setbacks and random disappointments, the second... Read More

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton is usually a polarizing fantasy option. He often gets buoyed by his big games, but can put up some big time stinkers. It's a new season though, and his Week 1 performance was very strong against the Raiders. Dalton... Read More
Jared Cook (TE, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add as Backup TE in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Jared Cook is a physical freak. At 6'5" and 254 lbs with some speed, he can be a true matchup nightmare. Unfortunately, he hasn't quite realized this potential so far in his NFL career. He tends to... Read More
Eric Ebron (TE, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues or Deeper OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Eric Ebron was the tenth overall pick a year ago, so clearly he was a highly regarded talent out of college. He's a big target at 6'4" and 265 lbs and should be one of Matthew Stafford's main redzone/endzone... Read More
Week 2 Running Back Depth Charts for Fantasy Football
This may be an unpopular opinion, but the fantasy performances of Week 1 were largely uninspiring. Only four running backs surpassed 20 points in standard fantasy scoring, as nearly 75 percent of the top 30 ranked running backs failed to live up to Week 1 projections. Still, in the spirit of NFL unpredictability, two of... Read More
From 40 Seconds to Eternity: New York Giants Crap the Bed in Season Opener
We all have that one friend - that one obnoxious mofo who quotes stats in the form of insults and contentiously trolls haters on Twitter who throw shade at their precious team. We’re friends with him, but we seriously hate that guy to his very core and silently wish swamp flesh eating parasites get a hold... Read More
Karlos Williams (RB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In Deeper Leagues as Handcuff OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: One thing that became clear on Sunday is that Karlos Williams, not Bryce Brown, is the clear backup to LeSean McCoy. The other thing that became clear is that Karlos Williams has some real talent too. In fact, from what... Read More
Khiry Robinson (RB, NO) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I actually wrote about Robinson last week, so please see my thought process here, but after Week 1 I'm only more sure of myself, and this pick. The great thing about Robinson is he has two routes to playing time as he is... Read More
Benny Cunningham (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 12 Team Or Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Cunningham was the lead dog on Sunday against the vaunted Seattle Seahawks defense. I actually recommended Cunningham in my weekly Last Minute Adds piece on Saturday and it payed off nicely for those who picked him up. Cunningham showed... Read More

Austin Sefarian-Jenkins (TE, TB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Draft In Later Rounds CURRENT ADP: Overall #136/ TE #26 ANALYSIS: Austin Sefarian-Jenkins has an even lower ADP than someone like Kyle Rudolph, but he has just as good of a chance to make an impact in 2015. Entering his sophomore season in the NFL, ASJ looks to be more of a cog... Read More
Chris Ivory (RB, NYJ) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target Starting in Seventh Round CURRENT ADP: Overall #79, RB #29 ANALYSIS: Over the last two seasons, it could be argued that Chris Ivory was the most reliable offensive weapon for the New York Jets. Ivory averaged a very respectable 4.35 YPC over the last two years and topped 800 yards in both seasons. Heading... Read More
Rashad Jennings (RB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target In Eighth Round CURRENT ADP: Overall #84, RB #31 ANALYSIS: On the surface, it might appear that Jennings is too old, too brittle and in a backfield that's too crowded to trust him. Jennings is 30, a supposed age of decline for running backs, has never played 16 games in a season and... Read More
