Week 15 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds: Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Zach Miller and Tyler Kroft
Unless you are in a fantasy football league that does not believe in a postseason and goes by cumulative point totals (which is silly), your league is in the thick of the playoffs and hopefully your squad qualified for them. This is not the time to make a boneheaded Leon Lett-like decision if you are... Read More
FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 15 NFL Waiver Wire Targets: Kirk Cousins, Tim Hightower and Ted Ginn
So Week 14 is now pretty much in the books and we have a few serious injuries that shake things up a little. Thomas Rawls broke his ankle and will miss the remainder of the year. Andy Dalton seems to have broken the thumb on his throwing hand and will be out for the rest... Read More
James White's Role Growing for Pats
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: There's still a difficult split happening between James White and Brandon Bolden, and despite Bolden out-touching White 14 to 1 on the ground, it's White that's showing more significant fantasy value. Maybe that's because he actually gets used in the redzone over... Read More
Add Denard Robinson for Your Fantasy Playoffs
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: T.J. Yeldon left week 14 with a left knee sprain and in his place came Denard Robinson. The timetable for Yeldon's return has not been set yet (as of Monday morning) but with so few games remaining, if you get just one game... Read More
Tim Hightower a High Pickup Priority
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 18% owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Had the Mark Ingram news been made sooner, Hightower would've been on last weeks list. Hightower isn't much of a skilled player as he plodded is way to 85 yards on 28 carries but with that kind of volume, who really cares? The... Read More

Week 14 Running Back Depth Charts: Bilal Powell, David Johnson, Tim Hightower and More
With the better half of the league's running backs watching football from wheelchairs and hospital beds, there were not many stellar RB performances in Week 13. Only one man eclipsed 20 standard fantasy points and nobody scored more than one touchdown. At this point in the season, most backfield situations have been sured up, leaving... Read More
Clive Walford Jiving with Derek Carr
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 7% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Walford has slowly blipped on fantasy radars for a while now after scoring three touchdown sover a four-game span last month, but he hadn’t caught more than a pair of passes in any game until this past week. Against the Kansas City... Read More
Will Tye for Those in Do or Die Mode
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell’s neck injury has made the fantasy value of Tye very healthy. While Donnell sits on the sidelines, Tye has made the most of his opportunity as New York’s starting tight end during the last month. Tye has not found the... Read More
Luke Willson Doing Some Good Will for Fantasy Teams
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 4% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Willson is no Jimmy Graham. Hell, he’s not even the best Willson/Wilson on his own offense. But what he is right now is the starting tight end on a team whose quarterback and offense are clicking on all cylinders at the perfect... Read More

Week 14 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Luke Willson, Will Tye and Clive Walford
Week 14 is the last week of the regular season in many fantasy leagues, while it could also be the opening round of the playoffs in other leagues depending on the postseason structure. So this is not the time to make a fantasy lineup mistake. If you still haven’t plugged the gaping hole left behind... Read More
Week 14 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: White, Draughn and Andrews Lead the Way
Each week, this article will aim to highlight running backs that you should consider targeting on your league's waiver wire. I've split these players up into three tiers from most desirable to most desperate. Additionally, I've included players at the bottom of this list that I would be comfortable cutting as I don't see them... Read More
Ameer Abdullah a Good Bench Stash
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 57% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ameer Abdullah is still a very skilled player, the only problem is he's playing on limited touches. At this point in the season it's hard to see him escaping his role and earning himself the feature spot on this offense. However, he's... Read More
Spencer Ware: KC's Goal Line Back
BALLER MOVE: Handcuff to Charcandrick West OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Still available in most leagues, Ware and West are in a timeshare where Ware seems to have the redzone area on lockdown. He's been a better rusher than West on the season, so he may be able to find a bigger role on... Read More
Scoop Up James White
BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 36% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James White operated as the lead back for the majority of the Patriots game against the Eagles. He managed to have the ninth highest receiving yardage amongst all players in week 13 (as of Sunday night) and might be able to keep... Read More
Javorius Allen Turning the Volume Up
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 56% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Still available on just under half of all waiver wires, Allen is proving to be a much better player than expected- kinda. Allen still isn't much of a ground threat, but with 10 yards per reception and a huge volume to work... Read More

Brian Hoyer a Dependable QB ROS
BALLER MOVE: Add as QB Streamer OWNED IN: 27% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Brian Hoyer disappointed a bit in Sunday's juicy matchup against the Saints, but New Orleans really didn't give him a need to air the ball out. Houston's resurgence on defense has given the Texans the option to play more conservatively on offense... Read More
Tyler Lockett the Rocket
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett has been an all or nothing option for the Seahawks this season. His game-changing speed makes him a threat to take any pass or kick return to the house. However he doesn't get enough touches to be a regular threat. This... Read More
Rueben Randle a Giant Redzone Option
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: As much as OBJ's fantasy owners would like it, Eli Manning can't throw to Beckham every single time. Victor Cruz was lost for the season so if the Giants want to salvage their season and escape the NFC "Least", someone else is going... Read More
Dontrelle Inman Could Lead Late Season Charge
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: After injuries struck, it seemed like Philip Rivers' high flying offense was going to take a big hit. However, Inman finally made good on his projected increase in production. He reeled in five passes on nine targets for 65 yards and... Read More
Coby Fleener Buoyed by Hasselbeck
BALLER MOVE: OWNED IN: 52% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It’s official! Matt Hasselbeck improves a tight end’s fantasy value more than Andrew Luck does. You think I’m kidding? Look no further than Fleener’s game-by-game log this season. In the four games Hasselbeck started, Fleener has averaged 4.2 catches for 41 yards per contest. In the... Read More
Kyle Rudolph the Redzone Reindeer
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Quietly and quickly, Rudolph has become Teddy Bridgewater’s favorite pass catcher in Minnesota. While speedsters Mike Wallace and Cordarrelle Patterson have been stuck in the starting blocks all season long, the plodding Rudolph is now the one making big plays downfield. Wallace and... Read More
Cameron Brate Coming on of Late
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At the same time, I'm tired of waiting and so is Cameron Brate apparently. Since the bye week, Brate's put up 3 touchdowns in 6 games while in a split with Brandon Myers. Well, the Bucs finally committed to one of the... Read More
Could Scott Chandler BE a Better TE Pickup?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chandler hasn't been that great for the Patriots outside of a few plays here and there, but if Gronk should miss any time- those targets will have to go to someone. It's looking less and less like Gronk's injury is going to... Read More
Time to Unleash Jay Ajayi?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 32% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: At this point, it may behoove the Dolphins to just run the ball 40 times a game. Ryan Tannehill has looked awful, as has the offense as a whole. OC Bill Lazor was fired today, and his removal should yield more touched... Read More
Brandon Bolden a Bold Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 24% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Remember how I said James White was the de facto number two back behind LeGarrette Blount? Nobody told Brandon Bolden, who drastically outplayed White in Week 12, catching four passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. All three backs will be involved... Read More
Bilal Powell a Must-Own Handcuff
BALLER MOVE: Add as Ivory Handcuff OWNED IN: 22% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chris Ivory is the unquestioned top dog in New York, but Bilal Powell is a more-than-capable complement. Prior to his Week 4 injury, Powell had at least 10 carries in each game, and also had 13 catches over the three weeks. Since... Read More
James White In Line for More Looks in New England
BALLER MOVE: Add in PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 41% owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: White became the default pass-catching back once Dion Lewis was lost for the season, but he's done very little in the role. That could change drastically given the injury Rob Gronkowski suffered in the Patriots' Week 12 defeat. Gronk evidently escaped with a... Read More
