Steven Adams (C, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's virtually impossible to find a player as efficient as Steven Adams is. In a fantasy world in which the average NBA player puts up around 0.90 FP/min, Adams is currently averaging 1.04 fantasy points per minute and an even better 1.10-figure […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoMalik Beasley (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Three games started, three games coming off the pine, six games overall in the past 11 days, and a freakish 28 3-point shots scored. Seriously. That's Malik Beasley right there for you. Beasley was a known heater off the pine, a preternatural […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoKillian Hayes (PG, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: The week kicked off with the news of Cade Cunningham finally deciding to undergo surgery on his shin, forcing him to miss the entire season once and for all. That won't change anything on Killian Hayes' front compared to what has been […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoHarrison Barnes (SF, SAC) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: Two players in the NBA have logged more minutes than Harrison Barnes this season while having a lower rostership than Barnes currently has. Crazy, isn't it? Well, it goes from crazy to bonkers considering Barnes is a top-100 fantasy player through Saturday […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoDe'Anthony Melton (SG, PHI) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: One more week without Tyrese Maxey and just a couple of games played by James Harden has allowed De'Anthony Melton to retain a starting position in Philly's depth chart, one he has not relinquished since he grabbed hold of it all the […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoBennedict Mathurin (SF, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: After going through a little bit of a shooting slump, if you wish to call it that, Bennedict Mathurin returned to his 20+ scoring ways in his most recent couple of games facing the Warriors and the Cavs on Wednesday and Friday, finishing […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoMason Plumlee (C, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets entered the Wemby Sweepstakes in a rather unexpected way mostly because of the team's players suffering a bunch of injuries, and they might actually end up throwing the season away entirely if they can't bounce back in time to make […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoDraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 66: Cannonier vs. Strickland
Last event of the year, folks. It's been a long one but we have reached the end of the road as we'll enter the lovely Christmas period after Saturday and stay hibernating until Dana brings the fireworks back come Jan. 14th. Yes, that's nearly a month for those keeping track at home. So don't take […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoNextGen Stats - Week 14: RB Breakdowns and Takeaways
You won't believe it, but you weren't dreaming: the fantasy football regular season is over (in most leagues and for our purposes at least), and it's time to gear up for that deep playoff run toward the championship. It's just three more weeks and fantasy contests for most GMs out there, so if you're still […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoChris Moore (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Houston Texans are coming off playing one of the weirdest games in the history of the NFL. They went with a two-QB approach not because of injury or even underperformance, but just using a rotation-based scheme. Sometimes it was Davis Mills, […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoZay Jones (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jaguars might still be one, two, or more years away from real contention but at least QB Trevor Lawrence is finally finding his footing in the NFL surrounded by a bunch of nice pieces helping him getting there. Most recently, two […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoZonovan Knight (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Somebody explain to me why the hell the New York Jets traded away a draft pick in exchange for James Robinson, please. Even if that's just a fifth/sixth-rounder, it's a waste nonetheless considering Robinson has been nearly out of the Jets rotation pretty […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoBen Skowronek (WR, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With WR1 Cooper Kupp out of commission since Week 10, the Los Angeles Rams have been forced to use a rather slim rotation of viable fantasy WRs for the past month of play. It's been a rotating wheel of performers on a […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoRichie James (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Giants have had a revolving door of wideouts this season for different reasons. It has not been quite steady in terms of knowing what's coming, but Richie James has emerged as the better option on a weekly basis barring a […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoDonovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We warned you last week: QB Deshaun Watson might only be rusty and that's what hurt the rest of the Browns' skill-position players. We can confirm it now: check Donovan Peoples-Jones and you'll know what we're talking about. In Watson's first game back […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Giants went on a bye week back in Week 9 and after returning from that small hiatus Daniel Jones hasn't stopped putting up numbers. Including last Sunday's top-10 outing, Jones has finished inside the top-24 players in the position […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoEvan Engram (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It has taken some time, but the Trevor Lawrence Experience is starting to kick into high gear, folks. The main beneficiary, at least for now, has been TE Evan Engram who has scored three touchdowns in the past two weeks and is coming […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoDJ Chark (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Detroit Lions made it clear before Sunday's game: Jared Goff is not a bridge quarterback but rather a building block to lead the team in future seasons. I am 100% behind that decision (sorry, haters). DJ Chark might also be on […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoAndy Dalton (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: According to New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen, the franchise coaches "don't think they'll go there right now" when it comes to benching veteran QB Andy Dalton to bring Jameis Winston back. Not for now, at least. But that's enough for […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoBaker Mayfield (QB, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Early last week, on Monday, the Carolina Panthers decided to waive and release QB Baker Mayfield after trading for him this last summer. Injuries and (mostly) bad play ended with his days of donning black and blue threads. That didn't prevent teams from […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoAndrew Nembhard (PG, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Bennedict Mathurin is obviously the most rostered and most appealing player coming off the Pacers pine, it's worth checking on Andrew Nembhard's availability if you are managing a deeper-league squad in fantasy basketball. Nembhard has taken on primary combo-guard duties for […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoJaylen Nowell (SG, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: If this was, say, Anthony Edwards we were discussing, then it might be seen as a risky bet. With it being Jaylen Nowell and the youngster being available in nearly 95% of all ESPN leagues, not so much. I say that because […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoShake Milton (PG, PHI) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: With the news of James Harden getting back to the court and having already appeared in a couple of games through Saturday (both of them played this week), it makes sense to find Shake Milton available in a few more leagues than […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoMoritz Wagner (PF, ORL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Moritz Wagner had to wait until Nov. 25 to finally play for the first time this season but he's hit the ground more than running. Mo found a window of opportunity after Wendell Carter Jr. got injured at the end of November […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoJose Alvarado (PG, NOP) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is this Josanity? What do we call it? Whatever name we choose, what is clear is that Jose Alvarado is more than a flash in the pan and a clear staple for the no. 1 seed in the Western Conference, your New […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoFantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 9: Shake Milton, Jose Alvarado, Moritz Wagner
The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoMalik Beasley (SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: The lovely Jordan Clarkson's legacy as Salt Lake City's very own Microwave Player is still alive and well, folks. Not until the Utah Jazz decide it is time for (finally and once and for all) tanking their way toward landing Wemby, Malik […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoTim Hardaway Jr. (SG, DAL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tim Hardaway Jr. started the season on the bench for the Dallas Mavericks but he's finally been thrust into a starting gig by coach Jason Kidd. It's been seven games in a row starting for Hardaway through Friday and the numbers have […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoKelly Olynyk (C, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: There are only two types of fantasy GMs and they are perfectly evenly split in ESPN leagues: those who like Kelly Olynyk (50 percent of them) and those who don't (the other half). Can't be more perfect than that, folks. Olynyk well […]
Antonio Losada 2 years agoBennedict Mathurin (SF, IND) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess I will just assume Bennedict Mathurin's rostership will never break the 60-percent barrier in his rookie season. If it hasn't at this point, it just never will ROS even if that doesn't make sense at all. Mathurin keeps playing off-the-pine minutes […]
