Isaiah Stewart (C, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: To some extent, you can kind of understand the concerns. We're talking about Detroit basketball. We're talking about a 6-8 man playing center nightly. We're talking about a super young 21-year-old player. That's all good. What is absolutely unreasonable and drives me mad […]

Jabari Smith Jr. (PF, HOU) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: Perhaps the best thing going in Jabari Smith's way these days when it comes to keeping considering him a viable fantasy player is just his status in the NBA as a rookie. Other than that, I have to concede that he's been […]

NextGen Stats - Week 8: RB Breakdowns and Takeaways

We're officially past mid-season and if that doesn't make you sad enough, how about the fact that even the trade deadline has passed us now? Eh? Was that what ultimately broke your hopes of football staying on forever? Too bad. The good news, as always, is that a new week full of games is ahead. […]

The UFC is back at the Apex in Las Vegas, NV, for another Fight Night card after already playing out one since coming back from Abu Dhabi a week ago.

Rondale Moore (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  The Cardinals welcomed DeAndre Hopkins back a couple of weeks ago and, of course, he was his old self and the no. 1 wideout of 'Zona the minute he graced the gridiron. That was always expected, but what we have grown accustomed […]

Isaiah Likely (TE, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this post fully knowing about the existence of this man-machine named Mark Andrews that happens to play tight-end in Baltimore.

Greg Dulcich (TE, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It might have taken a while for Greg Dulcich to take off, but one can confidently say his moment has finally arrived and he's definitely flying high these days and with half of the season in the books already.

Kenyan Drake (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenyan Drake already had a moment to flash his talents back in Week 6 when J.K. Dobbins could only play 16 snaps... and he surely delivered the goodies racking up 19.7 PPR points to the tune of a season-high 119 rushing yards and […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Terrace Marshall Jr. really had a tough start to the 2022 season. Hell, he already had a rough rookie season a year ago when he only appeared in 13 games getting a combined 30 targets over the full season. Marshall could only top […]

Kyren Williams (RB, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Williams accumulated 2,799 total yards during his final two seasons at Notre Dame, and Los Angeles traded up for the opportunity to seize him during last April’s NFL Draft (164th overall). The 5’9”, 195-pound Williams was placed on injured reserve after he […]

Jared Goff (QB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  The main storylines coming out of Detroit this past weekend were related to actual skill-position players and not to QB Jared Goff: RB D'Andre Swift returned after we last saw him in Week 3 and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown finally completed a […]

Devin Duvernay (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Everybody was pumped about Devin Duvernay and his under-the-radar upside after Marquise Brown got traded away from Baltimore and opened the door for DD to take on (at the very least) a WR2 role. Turns out our man is now the actual […]

Darius Slayton (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  In the past four weeks, even though Darius Slayton put up a dud in Week 6, there are only 30 receivers with more total PPR points than the Giants receiver. That might sound like a lot of them, but considering there are […]

Andy Dalton (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Early last week New Orleans Saints' coach Dennis Allen confirmed that Andy Dalton would be starting the team's Week 8 matchup against the Raiders and all games after that – barring a catastrophic run of outings by the veteran. That's good to […]

Tyler Conklin (TE, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Tyler Conklin has been the walking, living, breathing definition of "bouncy asset" through the first half of the season. It is also very true that the TE position is thin as hell and that it forces you to make the toughest […]

Evan Engram (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Given how stupidly thin the tight end position is when it comes to viable fantasy options, it's funny that not one but two of the most-targeted players on the WW ahead of Week 9 will be coming out of the same game: Greg […]

Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  There is only one more game in Chicago's schedule before the Bears get to enjoy their bye week. Can Justin Fields improve his prior fantasy score one more time, as it's been the case for the last five weeks in a row? You read that […]

Garrett Wilson (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Considering all of the hype he entered the NFL with, the truth is that Garrett Wilson has disappointed fantasy GMs a fair share. Perhaps that hype was just a nonsensical product of the Jets fans out there pumping it up, but whatever […]

Zach Wilson (QB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  The New York Jets tied a record this past weekend and are just one game away from becoming the only franchise in the history of the NFL... to lose a matchup for the 14th consecutive time. Yes, that's right. The Jets are coming […]

Tyus Jones (PG, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tyus Jones became a fantasy darling last season backing up Ja Morant. He also became a true sought-after player in the NBA offseason before he decided to re-ink his deal with the Grizzlies to stay in Memphis as Ja's understudy. It made sense […]

Max Strus (SG/SF, MIA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody in the NBA has played more minutes than Max Strus through Saturday while starting fewer than six games.

Jaylen Nowell (SG, MIN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jaylen Nowell had his worst game of the early season against the Lakers of all teams last Friday.

Nick Richards (C, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of leagues ANALYSIS: Nick Richards got drafted by the Pelicans in the summer of 2020 but he only played 430 total minutes in his first two seasons (already with the Hornets after a draft-day trade) while appearing in 68 games and starting five of those. We're […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is it finally happening? It is, right? Right?

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 3: Bol Bol, Max Strus, Jaylen Nowell

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 […]

Brook Lopez (C, MIL) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS:  We're definitely not back to the bad back when it comes to Brook Lopez, am I right? Lopez has played at least 28 minutes in all five games he's been involved in this season--which is to say in all games the Bucks have […]

Aaron Gordon (PF, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: If there is anything defining the current era of NBA play that's Kawhi's favorite term: load management. Good for Aaron Gordon, he's had his health issues here and there but never a true concerning problems such as teammates Michael Porter Jr. and Jamaal Murray. […]

Monte Morris (PG, WAS) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of leagues ANALYSIS: Five games for the Wiz entering Sunday's matchup with Boston boasting a positive 3-2 record through Saturday. Not bad considering the .427 winning ways of yesteryear. The Wizards added Monte Morris to the fold this offseason in a trade with the Nuggets that […]

Santi Aldama (SF/PF, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: It was unsustainable to start with so it makes sense to see Santi Aldama slowly but surely dropping his nonsensical levels of production as the games have kept coming. That said, Aldama is still entrenched into Memphis' starting lineups manning the PF position […]
