Brock Osweiler Not A Great Fantasy Option In Week 7

Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler is a low-end QB2 heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Detroit is allowing just 222 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks and have been one of the stingiest pass defenses in 2018. Despite a surprise 380-yard, three-touchdown performance last week Osweiler has been a horrible […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, CLE) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was disappointing in Week 6, going 22-for-46 passing for 238 yards, adding in one touchdown and two interceptions. His accuracy and ability to complete passes has been a problem since he was named starter. Mayfield has a 55.5% completion […]

Week 7 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

It was another interesting week at the quarterback position. We had more huge games from available quarterbacks, a surprise inactive, and continued disappointment from a few veteran quarterbacks. Week 7 is the first big bye week, as four teams are one bye. Owners of Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Derek Carr, and Ben Roethlisberger will need […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky didn’t get picked up too much after his six touchdown day in Week 4 and is still available in over 70% of Yahoo leagues.

Brock Osweiler (QB, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS:Ryan Tannehill was a surprise inactive due to a shoulder injury, allowing Miami Dolphins quarterback Brock Osweiler to shine in a spot start. He was 28-for-44 passing for 344 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions. This was a career high in passing yards for Osweiler, […]

Alex Tanney (QB, NYG) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: To be candid, I do not know much about New York Giants quarterback Alex Tanney. Much of what we know about him comes from this video. He was a monster at D3 Monmouth College and came into the NFL a little bit older at the […]

Nick O'Leary Catches Touchdown In Week 6

Miami Dolphins tight end Nick O'Leary was involved in his second career game as a Dolphin. He caught four passes on four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Miami's 31-28 overtime win over Chicago. O'Leary was recently promoted from the practice squad, mainly to be a blocker. His offensive contributions are surprising and […]

Kenny Stills Catches One Pass In Week 6

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was relatively uninvolved in Miami's 31-28 overtime win over Chicago in Week 6. He caught one pass for 35 yards on two targets. Stills also caught a two-point conversion. He took a backseat to Albert Wilson in this one, and since fill-in quarterback Brock Osweiler rarely throws downfield Stills […]

Danny Amendola Hauls In Eight Catches In Week 6

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola had his best game of the season in Miami's 31-28 overtime win over Chicago. Amendola caught eight passes for 59 yards on eleven targets. Those were all season highs for Amendola, who hadn't caught more than four passes or gained more than 42 yards in any previous game. Fill-in […]

Albert Wilson Explodes For 155 Yards And Two Touchdowns

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson had a huge day in Miami's 31-28 overtime win over Chicago in Week 6. He caught six passes on nine targets for 155 yards and two touchdowns.

Defenses to Stream Against with Confidence

A football player is only as good as his matchup. For players on the fringes of fantasy rosters, that proves to be true more often than not. Take Blake Bortles, who has an average of 25.82 points per game (standard, four-point per passing touchdown) against weak pass defenses, such as the Chiefs, Patriots, and Jets. […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers were on bye this week, but with him being declared the starter in Tampa Bay Winston can be a viable fantasy quarterback again. His Week 6 matchup is especially enticing, as he takes on a divisional opponent in the […]

Mitch Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite his six-touchdown performance in Week 4, Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky saw his ownership only go up 8% compared to last week. Perhaps that is because he had a bye in Week 5, or perhaps it speaks to the depth at quarterback in […]

Week 6 Quarterback Waiver Wire Adds and Pickups

Week 5 was a week of duds for many at the quarterback position, with ten starting quarterbacks scoring fewer than 15 fantasy points based on standard scoring. Some of those quarterbacks being universally owned and started as well. Disappointing performances aside, there were still plenty of encouraging games from low-owned quarterbacks. Detroit and New Orleans […]

Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No one should look at New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold and his three touchdown performance in Week 5 against Denver as his breakout game. He was only 10-for-22 passing with 198 yards, and nearly 40% of those yards came on one play, a […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, CLE) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield didn’t have the most outstanding fantasy day in Week 5, putting up 18.9 points in standard leagues.

C.J. Beathard (QB, SF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another week, another over-performance from San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard. This week he went 34-for-54 passing for 349 yards along with two touchdowns and two interceptions. That makes him a top-10 quarterback this week heading into Monday Night Football. Some of the […]

Danny Amendola Catches Three Passes In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola turned in another low-output week in the Dolphins 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. Amendola caught three passes for 30 yards on four targets. This offense can hardly sustain even one valuable fantasy receiver and with Amendola clearly third on the depth chart behind Kenny Stills and […]

Albert Wilson Hauls In Five Catches In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson caught five passes in the Dolphins 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. He gained 43 yards on those five receptions and was target six times. Wilson was the leader in catches, targets, and receiving yards by a wide receiver this season but all of those numbers were […]

Kenny Stills Turns In A Dud In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was practically absent in the Dolphins' 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. He caught just two passes for 17 yards on five targets. Stills was certainly on the "bust" end of his boom-or-bust outcomes. His volatility is exacerbated by the poor play of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, because […]

Frank Gore Rushes For 63 Yards In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore was the team's leading rusher in their 27-17 loss to the Bengals in Week 5. Gore rushed 12 times for 63 yards, though he was absent from the pass game and was out-gained by fellow running back Kenyan Drake 115-63. At this point in his career Gore is a […]

Kenyan Drake Totals 115 Yards And A Touchdown In Week 5

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake was a threat both on the ground and through the air in their Week 5 27-17 loss to the Bengals. Drake rushed six times for 46 yards and caught seven passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. Drake was Miami's best offensive weapon in a tough game, with 115 […]

Ryan Tannehill Throws Two Interceptions In Week 5 Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill struggled in Miami's Week 5 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He went 20-for-35 passing for 185 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. This was seemingly an opportunity for a bounce back from Tannehill, as Cincinnati had been shredded the week before by Matt Ryan and the Falcons. Tannehill […]

Danny Amendola A Poor Fantasy Option In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola is a low-end fantasy option in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed the ninth most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, however Amendola has been so un-involved in the offense that he offers little fantasy appeal. He has just 16 targets and 13 catches on […]
