Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Week 3

In terms of fantasy production, Week 2 featured several games that were expected to have high point totals, but just fell flat. For every matchup like Arizona/Tennessee, there was a game like Chicago/Cincinnati that left a lot of points on the board. Thankfully, everything has a purpose when it comes to fantasy football, so we […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 3

Week 2 of the NFL season featured a ton of great games, especially in the late part of the evening. Minnesota and Arizona and Tennessee and Seattle, and Tampa Bay and Atlanta all featured competitive games between teams moving the ball and putting up points. Beyond that, we had several stellar passing performances once again […]


Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A knee injury forced Andy Dalton to the sideline against the Cincinnati Bengals, leading to Justin Fields playing most of the second half. Fields had a modest showing at quarterback, completing six of 13 passes for 60 yards and an interception while adding 10 carries for […]


Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues | 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though the Giants offense hasn’t looked good through two games, Daniel Jones is throwing up great fantasy statistics. Jones completed 68% of his passes for 249 yards and a touchdown against a stellar Washington Football Team defense in […]


Monday Night Football Starts and Sits: Lions vs Packers Matchups

Football fans were spoiled by a primetime game in Week 1 in a seemingly lopsided matchup between the Ravens and Raiders. On paper, it looked like the Ravens would run away with the game. What we got instead was a massive game from Darren Waller, clutch plays from Bryan Edwards in the final minute and […]


Justin Herbert

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Week 2

The NFL regular season is a marathon, but there are still a lot of things we can learn early on in the season. For one, we get to see how teams will utilize new free-agent acquisitions, rookies, and our favorite sleepers from the year before. Also, we can see which established veterans were able to […]


Tua Tagovailoa - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It wasn’t the best performance from Tua Tagovailoa in his first game of 2021, but he moved the ball effectively and was able to get a win in New England. The second-year quarterback completed 16 of 27 passes for 202 yards and a […]


Teddy Bridgewater (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Teddy Bridgewater made his first start in Denver and showed that he could run the offense well while beating the New York Giants on the road. Bridgewater completed 28 of 36 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions. Bridgewater also just […]


Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 65% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Here we are again. Another start of the year and another season where Kirk Cousins is undervalued by the fantasy community. Cousins scored 22.04 fantasy points against a rough Bengals secondary in Week 1, completing 36 of 49 passes for 351 yards and […]


Jameis Winston

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

Football is back and all is right in the world. We kicked off the week with nearly 800 yards of passing offense from the Cowboys and Buccaneers on Thursday night football and pushed through to some stellar performances (headlined by Kyler Murray) during Sunday’s slate of games. It is far too early to make any […]


Zach Wilson (QB, NYJ) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Zach Wilson started slowly in his NFL debut but found his stride by the end of the game. The rookie signal-caller finished his first start completing 20 of 37 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns with one interception while also rushing in a two-point […]

Monday Night Football Starts and Sits: Raiders vs Ravens Matchups

The 2021 season is back and we are ready to rock. After the uncertainty of the 2020 offseason with COVID restrictions and a lack of preseason, we got back to a level of normalcy this year with how teams conducted training camps and preseason games. Unfortunately for one of the teams in this matchup, that […]

Must-Have Tight Ends

In fantasy football, understanding the importance of the tight end position can provide an enormous edge when it comes to fantasy scoring. Since 2018, there have been a total of 11 tight ends that have exceeded 200 fantasy points a year. Three of them belong to Travis Kelce. Two of them belong to Darren Waller, […]


Kenneth Gainwell (RB, PHI) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~177 ANALYSIS: The former Memphis Tiger will have his work cut out for him in Philadelphia, with an explosive incumbent starter (Miles Sanders) and plenty of NFL veterans with playing experience ahead of him (Boston Scott). A mobile quarterback (Jalen Hurts) and questionable offensive line further complicate the […]


Nick Chubb - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps for 2021

Since offensive linemen don’t generate fantasy points, a lot of fantasy gamers overlook their impact when it comes to drafts. However, knowing the talent at the offensive line can be crucial when you start making decisions between players at a certain tier or in a certain round. While talent on the offensive line is important, […]


NFL Rookie Spotlight - Kenneth Gainwell

After a stellar 2019 at Memphis, many football fans (fantasy or otherwise) got excited for the prospects of Kenneth Gainwell Jr. in the backfield. Gainwell Jr. was the lead rushing option for the Tigers, pushing future second-round pick Antonio Gibson to a role as a wide receiver in college. Heading into the 2020 offseason, it […]


Rashod Bateman (WR, BAL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~155 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~178 ANALYSIS: Even with a limited selection of games his final season at Minnesota, Bateman was the fifth wide receiver selected in the 2021 NFL draft, going to the Baltimore Ravens with the 27th pick in the first round. Bateman has the size, speed, and ability to develop […]


NFL Rookie Spotlight - Rashod Bateman

For the second consecutive season, there will be an influx of extremely talented rookie wide receivers entering the NFL. One of them is undoubtedly Rashod Bateman. After three productive seasons at Minnesota, Rashod Bateman declared after his COVID-shortened junior season with the Golden Gophers. Bateman produced at an extremely high level at a non-traditional Big […]


NFL Rookie Spotlight - Justin Fields

Of all the quarterback prospects to enter the 2021 NFL Draft, Justin Fields has had the most unique route to get to his landing spot. Fields was named the Elite11 MVP heading into his senior year (over Trevor Lawrence) and was universally regarded as a five-star recruit by every major recruiting service. Fields was the […]


NFL Rookie Spotlight - Trevor Lawrence

Ever since he became the starting quarterback at Clemson four games into his true freshman season, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Trevor Lawrence would be the first overall pick in the NFL draft as soon as he was eligible. That assumption became a reality during the 2021 NFL draft, with Lawrence getting […]


Daniel Jones Set Up for Success - Will It Work?

Given his status as a surprising top-10 pick in the 2019 NFL draft and a relatively successful rookie season, the 2020 season was seen as a make-or-break year for Daniel Jones for many NFL fans. Unfortunately, Jones (and the Giant’s offense as a whole) struggled to take the next step around the second-year signal-caller. The […]


Running Back Free Agent Fantasy Fits

We have finally cleared the franchise tag window and now can start dreaming of landing spots for the running backs in this class. This free agent and draft class are weirdly parallel, with a tier of top-level talents surrounded by guys who need good situations (or good luck) to thrive for their NFL teams. None […]


Wide Receiver Free Agent Fantasy Fits (Part 2)

The 2020 NFL season is officially coming to a close, which means it is time to start preparing for 2021 fantasy football drafts! Free agency will have a chance to change the landscape of the league for several teams and players and could have a massive fantasy impact for next season. Throughout the next several […]


Wide Receiver Free Agent Fantasy Fits (Part 1)

With just three games remaining in the 2020 NFL season, it is time to shift our fantasy focus to free agents and teams looking to fill needs from a fantasy perspective. Ultimately only one team can win the Super Bowl every season, but there will be 32 teams trying to win this offseason to put […]


Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 17

Well, folks, this is it. It has been a wild ride this season thanks to a litany of injuries and quarantines throughout the NFL season. We have seen veteran quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, and Ben Roethlisberger continue to show they are fantasy viable while a crop of new talented players like Jalen Hurts, […]


Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis: Patriots vs Bills

Last week on Monday Night Football we got a surprising upset by the Cincinnati Bengals over the Pittsburgh Steelers, could we see that lightning strike twice. Buffalo has officially clinched the AFC East and New England is officially out of the playoffs, so it’ll be interesting to see if these teams can combine to create […]


Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 16

Well, for a majority of folks this is it: the final week of the fantasy football season. You have navigated injuries, COVID-based quarantines, and general uncertainty to find yourself in a position to win your fantasy league. At this point in the season, you can’t leave anything on the table and need to do anything […]


Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis: Bengals vs Steelers

It is Week 15 and if you’re reading this you’re (probably) in your fantasy league semifinals. It has been a wild, winding road to get to this point during the fantasy season between a seemingly endless stream of high-profile injuries and COVID-related mishaps but here we are, just three weeks from the NFL playoffs. After […]


Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 15

Despite Week 14 featuring a bunch of blowouts, quarterback production wasn’t anything special. Only three quarterbacks passed for over 300 yards passing. A bunch of quarterbacks were able to find the end zone through the air, however, with two players (one of which being Drew Lock) throwing for four touchdowns, two players passing for three […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis: Cleveland vs Baltimore

We are back to a normal schedule in Week 14 after being treated to a Monday night doubleheader and a Tuesday night football game in Week 13. All three of those games lived up to their billing, especially given the surprising upset by the Washington Football Team over the Pittsburgh Steelers during Monday afternoons game. […]
