Tejay Antone (SP/RP, CIN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tejay Antone, the 6'4, 230-lb. alumnus of Weatherford College, came up mega-clutch for Cincy on many occasions last year, and while he closed out 2020 with a 2.80 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 35.1 innings, the circumstances of being a spot-starter/long-reliever are fickle, […]

Myles Straw (SS/OF, HOU) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: Myles Straw forgot to unpack his 2020 struggles before kicking off 2021, and over 81 AB so far he's managed only three XBH (one triple, two doubles) and a beaten-up slash of .222/.304/.272, though he's still collected five steals in six attempts, […]

Nico Hoerner (3B/2B/SS, CHI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: It already feels like Nico Hoerner has been a fixture in the Cubs lineup and dugout for years; which is why I was quite surprised to find out that he's still just 23, having blown through the minor leagues in just 337 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Granted: Alex Cobb did not have a good game last time out, allowing three walks, six hits, and four earned runs to the Astros in 2.2 IP (though he did have four strikeouts).

Tucker Barnhart (C, CIN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: At the notoriously shallow and tough-to-predict position of catcher, Tucker Barnhart has emerged as an option who is finally putting together the complete package.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: J.D. Davis well on his way to recapturing the vibe that carried him to a breakout campaign of 2019. In 29 AB so far for 2021, Davis has two doubles, two home runs, and a booming slash of .414/.485/.690, however, he has found […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tommy La Stella never blows you away with home run totals or power metrics, but his sustained offensive success for his new west coast ballclub in conjunction with his defensive versatility should ring loud to Fantasy Managers in deeper formats.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: The G-League Bubble was an excellent platform, particularly in a season with so many health concerns, for the NBA's youngest of talents to make their case for big league playing time, and with the recent absences of Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet, Malachi […]

Nico Mannion (PG, GS) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: The trade deadline works wonders for those in search of opportunity from either their own team or someplace else.

D.J. Augustin (PG, HOU) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: D.J. Augustin is in his 13th NBA season, and for a little perspective: he was taken 9th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Bobcats. The longtime backup point guard was dealt from the title contending-Bucks to the absolutely miserable Houston […]

Theo Maledon (PG, OKC) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: When you think of a player capable of a quick transition to the NBA level, you don't typically think of a 19-year-old, second-round draft pick (34th overall) out of France; yet here we are 39 games into Theo Maledon's rookie season, and the […]

Daniel Gafford (PF/C, WAS) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Gafford was criminally overlooked during his time as a Chicago Bull, where you'd think he would have played a lot in his 74 games there over two seasons due to the weakness of their roster and injury issues. In a three-team deadline […]

Saddiq Bey (SF, DET) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: With a 12-32 record and the departure of big-minute occupiers Blake Griffin, Delon Wright, Derrick Rose, and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, it's a good time to be a rookie for the Detroit Pistons. The rotation now consists of a few key veterans, the young talent […]

Dillon Brooks (SG/SF, MEM) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: It started as a year tailor-made for a Dillon Brooks breakout, but that's not exactly how it worked out.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: I, like many of you, never thought I'd see the day that the New York Knicks are a highly competent organization with the power to craft a winner from raw materials as opposed to living and dying by the free agents that never […]

Svi Mykhailiuk (SG/SF, OKC) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a slow build in the NBA for Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, as is the case for many young players who got their start in European basketball.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: ROY front-runner and Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball will miss the rest of the season due to a fractured wrist.
