BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There have been a lot of moving pieces at the tight end position this season, not to mention the rotation that has already occurred at tight end for the Indianapolis Colts.

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Being a tight end in a Tom Brady-led offense has proven quite fruitful in the past, but there wasn't much hope surrounding Cameron Brate coming into the 2020 season with O.J. Howard and Rob Gronkowski occupying the same position for Tampa Bay, even […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For the second year in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted a running back in the fourth-round while James Conner still has a firm grip on his place in the backfield.

Cedrick Wilson (WR, DAL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's already been an erratic season for the Dallas Cowboys, who have surprisingly fallen to 1-3 despite putting up 31.5 points per game on the shoulders of Dak Prescott's league-leading (by a 364-yard margin) 1,690 passing yards. WithDak off to an absolutely […]

David Moore (WR, SEA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Usually, there's always one bonafide deep-threat in the Seattle Seahawks receiving core. This season, with the fire Russell Wilson is slinging each week, there is plenty of air to be shared among multiple parties. The crazy thing is, Tyler Lockett doesn't even crack […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Indianapolis Colts have made it through four weeks of the 2020 NFL season while dealing with many moving pieces, key injuries, and the first four games played by Philip Rivers for a team other than the Chargers in 16 years (wow, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Austin Ekeler was off to a tremendous start to 2020 in his usual role as a dual-threat running back for the Los Angeles Chargers.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Greg Olsen has been a staple tight end in the NFL for 13 years now, and after an incredibly successful nine-year stint with the Carolina Panthers, there was plenty of uncertainty as to how he would adjust in his first season with the […]

Effects of an Innocuous Move: Brian Goodwin to Cincinnati

If you would've told me at the start of the 2020 season that one of the two moves made by the Cincinnati Reds at the Trade Deadline would be for a Major League outfielder, I would've been forced to assume that any four Reds outfielders had been suspended for the season for pulling some sort […]

Harrison Bryant (TE, CLE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a red-hot start for a considerable amount of tight ends across the NFL this season, meaning that talented rookies like Cole Kmet, Adam Trautman, and Brycen Hopkins have been lucky to get a single look over the first three weeks. The […]

Tee Higgins (WR, CIN) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It surprised many that the Bengals opted to go with as high-level of a wide receiver as Tee Higgins early in the 2020 NFL Draft when their need for an improvement to the offensive line still permeates, but the strength of the Bengals […]

Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Giovani Bernard has been a fixture in the Cincinnati Bengals backfield since 2013, and while the cast of surrounding characters has changed dramatically, his job description has largely remained the same.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When Rex Burkhead left the Cincinnati Bengals and signed on with the New England Patriots, those familiar with the Nebraska alum could see for miles away that he would be a great fit in the Tom Brady-led offense.

Scotty Miller (WR, TB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We have seen only a limited sample of Scotty Miller as an NFL wide receiver since the start of 2019 following his standout career at Bowling Green State, but with Tom Brady under center in Tampa Bay and a hodgepodge of question-mark-players […]

Logan Thomas (TE, WAS) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: At 6-6 and 250 pounds, Logan Thomas definitely has a build that will prove useful in practically anything he could be assigned to do on the football field.

Austin Barnes (C, LAD) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: Picture this scenario: the 2020 MLB season is winding down, you need stolen bases wherever you can get them, and you aren't fortunate enough to roster the likes of J.T. Realmuto, Christian Vazquez, or Isiah Kiner-Falefa at backstop. In two-catcher leagues where the pickens get […]

Jared Walsh (1B, LAA) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jared Walsh is a rare creature, in that, he has been both a successful pitcher and batter throughout his minor league career since entering the Angels farm system from Georgia in 2015.

Tyler Mahle (SP, CIN) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Full disclosure: the main drawback with Tyler Mahle is David Bell's propensity to pull him early, as evidenced by his Sunday outing of 2.2 IP, four hits, four walks, three earned runs, and three strikeouts. In fact, Sunday's game against St.Louis marks the fourth […]

Archie and the Gang: Navigating the New-Look Cincinnati Bullpen

As of August 31st, the day of the 2020 MLB Trade Deadline, the Cincinnati Reds sat at a record of 15-19, placing them at fourth-place in the NL Central and well outside of the NL postseason picture in this year of the expanded playoff format.

Sam Hilliard (OF, COL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Sam Hilliard has been putting up eyebrow-raising numbers since arriving in the Colorado farm system in 2015 from Wichita State (21 HR and 37 SB in 2017 for Single-A+ Lancaster), but 2019 was a particularly triumphant year (causing eyebrows to raise so high they're hitting […]

Victor Reyes (OF, DET) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: 25-year-old Victor Reyes was never a top-rated prospect as he bounced around from the Atlanta and Arizona organizations before finding a home in Detroit, but he was able to earn a spot with the big league Tigers for the shortened 2020 campaign after an […]

Jacob Stallings (C, PIT) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: On a very stitched-together 2020 Pittsburgh Pirates squad, even Jacob Stallings name doesn't tend to stick out, and it certainly didn't jump off the page before the season started when compared to fellow Buccos backstops John Ryan Murphy and Luke Maile. While Maile hit the […]
