Keith Hernandez 7 years agoTed Ginn (WR, NO) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Known mainly as an inconsistent deep threat with poor hands, Ginn is turning that narrative around in 2017 with the Saints. He had his best game of the season in Week 7, catching all seven of his season-high seven targets for 141 yards. […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Although he tossed a costly late-game interception in the Week 7 loss to Miami, McCown also went 17-for-27 for 209 yards, three passing touchdowns and one rushing score.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoJack Doyle (TE, IND) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: If Andrew Luck (shoulder) had been playing this year, Doyle would surely be owned in well over 50 percent of leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Marshawn Lynch's one-game suspension for entering the field and contacting an official during a scrum last Thursday was upheld, meaning Washington and Jalen Richard will split the backfield workload in Week 8 against the Bills.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoRobby Anderson (WR, NYJ) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Anderson was supposed to be the team's clearcut No. 1 receiver this year, but after two dud performances to begin the year, most fantasy owners moved on. Aside from a dud in Cleveland two weeks ago, though, Anderson has been playing better, including a […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoJosh Doctson (WR, WAS) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Based on Doctson's statistics alone, it's tough to make a case for him. The second-year wideout has only four receptions on nine targets for 90 yards, but he has scored two touchdowns in the last three weeks. Aside from his two touchdowns this year […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoAdam Humphries (WR, TB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Despite being the fourth target in the receiving game in Tampa, Humphries has managed exactly six catches in three of five contests this year.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoKenny Stills (WR, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Stills had his most efficient game of the 2017 season in the Week 6 surprise win over the Falcons on the road, catching all four of his targets for 49 yards and a score. It comes as no surprise that he accomplished that with […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoCorey Davis (WR, TEN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: The fifth overall pick in the draft, Davis had high hopes going into his rookie season, but a hamstring injury suffered in Week 2 has kept him out since. His injury was especially unfortunate after his fine showing in Week 1 (six catches on […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoJohn Brown (WR, ARI) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: After a highly disappointing 2016 season in which Brown dealt with injuries related to his sickle-cell trait, he entered the 2017 season as a popular breakout candidate. However, he disappointed in the season opener with just four catches (10 targets) for 32 yards, and […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoGeorge Kittle (TE, SF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: New head coach Kyle Shanahan and the Niners fell in love with the rookie Kittle in training camp and the preseason -- it prompted them to trade Vance McDonald to Pittsburgh -- but that hadn't really shown through the first four weeks. In Week […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoZach Miller (TE, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Although it should've been intercepted, Miller caught Mitch Trubisky's first career touchdown pass in the Monday night loss to the Vikings. Remember that for future trivia questions. The switch to the rookie QB in Chicago should be good news for Miller, as young signal […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoNick O'Leary (TE, BUF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: Buffalo is desperate for playmakers not named LeSean McCoy with Jordan Matthews (thumb) out a month and Charles Clay (knee) out at least multiple weeks and possibly the rest of the year after having his knee scoped. It was so bad in Week 5 […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoAustin Hooper (TE, ATL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Many people may have forgotten about Hooper with Atlanta coming off their Week 5 bye. Here's a refresher: He caught a season-high five passes for 50 yards on seven targets in the Week 4 loss to Buffalo. Those numbers did come with Julio Jones […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoRicardo Louis (WR, CLE) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's really hard to trust anyone on the Browns, but you can't argue with Louis' 17 targets and 10 catches for 135 yards the past two weeks. Meanwhile, Kenny Britt is injured and falling quickly out of favor with the coaching staff, so […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoBrandon Tate (WR, BUF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Bills are in dire straights like the Giants when it comes to their pass-catching options with Jordan Matthews (thumb) out a month and tight end Charles Clay (knee) out at least multiple weeks.

Keith Hernandez 7 years agoNelson Agholor (WR, PHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Touted by the coaching staff during training camp and the preseason, Agholor was a popular late-round sleeper pick in many drafts. It payed off immediately after his six-catch, 86-yard, one-TD performance in Week 1, but the luster wore off quickly, as he had […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoElijah McGuire (RB, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: Gang Green's backfield is falling apart. Matt Forte missed his second straight game with turf toe and Bilal Powell strained his calf in the Week 5 win. McGuire didn't do much to set himself apart after Powell left the game (11 carries, 20 […]
Keith Hernandez 7 years agoShane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Somehow, someway, the Giants lost four receivers to injury in Week 5, and two of them -- Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) and Brandon Marshall (ankle) -- need season-ending surgeries. With Sterling Shepard (ankle) also banged up and questionable for Week 6 against Denver, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 57% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: You might be a little late to the party, but New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been by far the most impressive rookie tight end in 2017 after the quarter mark, catching 19 passes on 30 targets through four weeks […]

What a difference a year makes, right? After the Broncos won Super Bowl 50 with a dominating defensive performance over the Carolina Panthers, they surprisingly entered 2016 with plenty of question marks, most notably at the quarterback position following the retirement of Peyton Manning.
