Equanimeous St. Brown (WR, GB) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: At first glance, buying stock in Equanimeous St. Brown would appear to be an unwise choice, even in deeper formats.

T.J. McConnell (PG, PHI) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: To say that there is uncertainty in the youthful ranks of the Sixers back court would be a heavy understatement.

Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's taken a few years and a couple of roster reshuffles, but Dorian Finney-Smith has finally earned a significantly higher role on the team in the form of increased playing time and an enhanced role. The former Florida Gator averaged just 20.3 and […]

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Things have been clicking in a pretty big way for the Indianapolis offense of late, and many players are getting in on the action.

Donte Moncrief (WR, JAX) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As unfortunately as things have been going for the Jacksonville Jaguars, 2018 has been a kind campaign to Donte Moncrief.

Tyler Johnson (PG/SG, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: On a roster full of Swiss Army Knife-type players, Tyler Johnson held down a well-rounded stat line for three years now for the Miami Heat.

Jeff Green (SF/PF, WSH) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Green's successful scoring to start the season shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Currently scoring 10.4 points per game, Green has failed to average double-digit scoring figures in just two of his twelve years as an NBA player. Now, did anyone […]

Jeremy Lin (PG/SG, ATL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been seemingly a lifetime since "Linsanity" and it's also been a lengthy stretch of time since Jeremy Lin has seen considerable NBA court time (before his 13 games this season he had played just 37 games since 2016). From the surface, Lin's […]

Collin Sexton (PG, CLE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: It has hardly been an ideal start to his rookie-season for Collin Sexton, the former star of the Alabama Crimson Tide who was drafted eighth-overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers this past summer.

Shelvin Mack (PG, MEM) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Shelvin Mack has long been a backup point guard in the NBA and for the most part has served in a limited role. However, this season for the Memphis Grizzlies has seen the "Mack-Attack" on the floor more than he ever has been […]

Antonio Callaway (WR, CLE) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Browns are a roster stocked with young offensive weapons, and they have already come a long way from their 0-16 mark from last season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kapri Bibbs hasn't exactly garnered a whole lot of attention out of the Redskins backfield as he ranks fourth on the team in carries (13) and rushing yards (56) behind Adrian Peterson, Alex Smith, and Chris Thompson.

Bryn Forbes (PG, SA) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: With such a different-look Spurs roster for the 2018 NBA campaign, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that certain players have seen a huge expansion in their on-court roles, and Bryn Forbes has exemplified this transition. Last season Forbes was only able to […]

Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After an already incredible fourteen seasons in the NFL, longtime veteran Frank Gore is still shouldering the load of the backfield in Miami, where he was once a member of the infamous "U".

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues (or if you need PTS + REB) OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Cody Zeller's hair line may be receding like it's running from something really, really scary, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't been going to work in the Charlotte frontcourt to start the season (and put […]

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues (or if you need REB + BLK) OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: It always seems like just as Nerlens Noel seems on the cusp of fading into obscurity, he finds a new spark of life to his game. Although he ranks just ninth on the Thunder roster in […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's get a disclaimer out of the way up front: Geoff Swaim is currently dealing with a sprained MCL that forced him out of the contest in week seven and has now put his week nine status against the Tennessee Titans in doubt.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Former USC Trojan Ronald Jones II didn't play in his first NFL game for Tampa Bay until week four, and he hasn't exactly set the football world on fire since his debut.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Due to a highly unfortunate Uber ride, Jameis Winston didn't make a start for Tampa Bay until week four of the 2018 season when his suspension was up.

O.J. Howard (TE, TB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston loves to work with big targets down the field, and at 6-6 and 251 lbs., the former Crimson Tide tight end O.J.

Kyle Juszczyk (RB, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Things looked pretty grim for the San Francisco passing-game when Jimmy Garoppolo started the season off on such a lackluster note.

Terrelle Pryor (WR, NYJ) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There always seems to be an aura of reluctance surrounding Terrelle Pryor in regard to how fantasy football managers value him, but that might have to change considering Quincy Enunwa is likely going to be out of commission for a month. Pryor's volume […]
