Josh McCown (QB, NYJ) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

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. The previous week he went for a season-high 354 yards and completed 31 passes against the Patriots. […]

Jack 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. But with Jacoby Brissett under center, this offense as a whole has been severely downgraded. As is the case with many inexperienced quarterbacks […]

DeAndre Washington (RB, OAK) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

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. After Lynch was ejected last week, Washington received a season-high nine […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 Waiver Wire Targets

Welcome to Week 8 everyone. Somehow, we're halfway through the 2017 fantasy season. Can you believe it? With a whopping six teams on bye this week -- Packers, Titans, Rams, Giants, Cardinals and Jaguars -- there is more reason than ever to be active on the waiver wire. There will probably be someone that can […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

Welcome to Week 7 everyone. With two more teams on bye (Lions, Texans) as we approach the midway point of the 2017 season, there are still players that can make a difference for your fantasy squads down the stretch as you attempt to make a playoff run. Below are my recommended FAAB waiver wire bids […]

Robby 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 […]

Josh 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 […]

Adam 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. That includes exactly seven targets in two of the last three weeks, and he's been pretty darn efficient, too, with […]

Kenny 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 […]

Corey 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 […]

John 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 […]

George 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 […]

Zach 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 […]

Nick 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 […]

Austin 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 […]

Ricardo 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 […]

Brandon 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. Rookie Zay Jones hasn't stepped up at all (two […]

Nelson 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 […]

Elijah 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 […]

Shane 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, […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

Welcome to Week 6 everyone. Week 5 was a bad one for serious injuries, so there are plenty of options on the waiver wire this week to help fill those gaps with four more teams on bye. Below are my recommended FAAB waiver wire bids for Week 6. Each FAAB auction price recommendation will be based […]

Evan Engram (TE, NYG) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

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 […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

Welcome to Week 5 everyone. With a quarter of the season over and bye weeks starting, there might be even more urgency for many fantasy owners to hit the waiver wire. Below are my recommended FAAB waiver wire bids for Week 5. Each FAAB auction price recommendation will be based on a $100 FAAB budget, […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

Welcome to Week 4 everyone. After three weeks of the NFL season, things are starting to come into focus, but that doesn't mean you still can't find a valuable contributor for the rest of the year sitting on the waiver wire. Below are my recommended FAAB waiver wire bids for Week 4. Each FAAB auction price […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 3 Waiver Wire Targets

Welcome to Week 3 everyone. After two weeks of the NFL season, fantasy owners can find plenty of options on the waiver wire that could wind up helping you tremendously as the year progresses. More injuries occurred and more importantly, backfields and receiving pecking orders are becoming a bit more clear. Let’s look around the league at […]

2017 NFL Team Outlook - Denver Broncos

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. The defense, the strength of the club yet again, carried them […]
