Ryan Tannehill A Two-QB Option Only In Week 12

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill will return to the gridiron in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts. Tannehill hasn't played since Week 5 due to a shoulder injury. He was not a viable option in one-quarterback leagues before the injury, and is a low-end two-quarterback league play coming back. He was averaging under 13 points […]

Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Marty Mornhinweg and the Ravens took an alternative approach to their gameplan this week, and quarterback Lamar Jackson had a stat line that looked more like that of a bell cow running back than a quarterback. He rushed 27 times for 117 yards, while […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Oh Dirk Koetter, how about a little decisiveness? A little conviction. No more waffling, no more flip-flopping, no more mid-game quarterback changes. You’re the head coach of an NFL football team for Pete’s sake. Your own team isn’t going anywhere, but at least stop […]

Week 12 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

It was another week full of excitement, tragedy, and confusion at the quarterback position. We had some tough injuries, mid-game benchings, and several exciting deep league options at quarterback for Week 12. Only two teams are on bye this week, but they are big ones. No Patrick Mahomes or Jared Goff this week, as both […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Smith is done for the season after suffering a gruesome broken leg in Washington’s Week 11 loss to Houston, which leaves Colt McCoy as the Redskins' starter for the rest of the way. Smith already wasn’t producing fantasy numbers before going down, so on the […]

Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Tw0-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens is still pretty green, as we saw in Week 10 against the Giants, but just about anyone is worthy of consideration against Tampa Bay’s defense. They have allowed at least 20 points in all games except one and […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While he didn’t erupt against a bad defense, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning did everything required of him to pull out the win over Tampa Bay in Week 11. He had only one incompletion and nearly posted a perfect passer rating. That […]

Busts and Disappointments - 2018 Year-in-Review

Love ‘em or hate ‘em (and you probably hate ‘em), busts are a huge part of fantasy baseball. While it’s fun to gush over all the new breakout stars of 2018, we also need to reflect on the players that made us want to pull our hair out last season. Highly-drafted busts can be season […]

Week 11 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It was a good week for post-hype quarterbacks, as several former high draft picks or one-year sensations had nice games around the NFL. Dak Prescott leads the way, but there are multiple strong options for streaming on waivers this week. Six teams are on bye this week, but Tom Brady is the only widely-owned quarterback […]

Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off the bye, the Broncos and quarterback Case Keenum will have to figure out how to get Courtland Sutton more involved and utilize the receivers they have now that Demaryius Thomas is in Houston. Their Week 11 opponent, the L.A. Chargers, allow an average of 254 passing […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles had a solid fantasy day in Week 10, putting up 21.6 points in a loss to Indianapolis.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was added in some leagues ahead of Sunday’s action as it was revealed that Joe Flacco might miss Week 11.

Josh Rosen (QB, ARI) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen was a little disappointing in Week 10 against the Chiefs, but in a week where many two-quarterback league types are on bye Rosen could make for a solid desperation streamer. Rosen has had exactly one good game this year, […]

Jason Sanders Converts Four Field Goals In Week 10

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders had a nice day scoring in the Dolphins' 31-12 loss to Green Bay in Week 10. He was four-of-four in field goals and scored all 12 of Miami's points.

Jakeem Grant Leaves Game With Leg Injury In Week 10

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant left their 31-12 loss to Green Bay early with a leg injury. Grant pulled up lame on his first and only target of the game.

Kenny Stills Has First Multi-Catch Game In Five Weeks

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills remains mired in a tough slump after another bad performance in Miami's 31-12 loss to Green Bay in Week 10. Stills caught two passes on two targets for 26 yards. This was Stills' first multi-catch game since Week 5, but that's hardly encouraging for the formerly volatile now idle […]

DeVante Parker Heavily Targeted In Week 10

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker was a key piece to the Dolphins game plan in Week 10, leading the team with 11 targets in their 31-12 loss to Green Bay.

Danny Amendola Hauls In Seven Passes Week 10

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola led the team in receiving in their 31-12 loss to Green Bay in Week 10. Amendola caught seven passes on 10 targets for 72 yards.

Brock Osweiler Turns In Another Poor Performance

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler gave a lackluster performance in Miami's 31-12 Week 10 loss to Green Bay. He was 23-37 passing for 213 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception. Osweiler was off-target on deep throws and docile in the pocket, unwilling to take chances or play with aggression. On one of the rare […]

DeVante Parker A Dicey Play In Week 10

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker carries significant risk in his Week 10 matchup against Green Bay. Parker had a big game in Week 8, putting up 134 yards after returning from injury, but followed it up with a huge dud in Week 9, catching just one pass for eight yards. Brock Osweiler has neither […]

Kenny Stills A Desperation Play In Week 10

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills has had a rough 2018, and is nothing more than a desperation play in Week 10 against Green Bay. Stills has caught exactly one pass in his last three games and his production has taken a hit since Brock Osweiler took over as starting quarterback. Stills always has the […]

Week 10 Quarterback - Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Outside of Nick Mullens big Thursday Night performance, it was a rather quiet week for waiver wire quarterbacks.

Four teams are on bye this week, with […]

Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you watched any of the Dolphins-Jets game, you want no part of New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and his four-pick self. The bad field conditions and Spencer Long's inability to snap the ball can excuse some of it but Darnold still made […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It doesn't matter if the Giants' offensive woes are quarterback Eli Manning's fault or even whether he finishes the year as the starting quarterback. For Week 10, Manning is still viable as a streamer to replace Kirk Cousins or Deshaun Watson if needed. Manning entered Week 9 as […]

Josh Rosen (QB, ARI) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen had the best game of his young career in Week 8 against San Francisco, throwing for a career-high 252 yards and posting his first multi-touchdown game.
