Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, TB) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Did the Bucs just now remember they have Jacquizz Rodgers on the roster? He still hasn't registered double-digit touches in a game all season but in Week 10's loss to the Redskins, Rodgers caught all eight of his pass targets for 102 yards […]

Josh Reynolds (WR, LAR) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the confirmation that Cooper Kupp tore his ACL as feared, many owners will now pivot to Josh Reynolds as the WR3 on one of the best offenses in the NFL. He'll clearly see an uptick in snaps and targets, but that shouldn't automatically thrust […]

Zay Jones (WR, BUF) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bills-Jets game showed what an abomination the Jets are at the moment and also makes us wonder even more how Nathan Peterman is still on the active roster. With journeyman Matt Barkley as the latest QB pulled off the street to start for Buffalo, he […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another QB you want to part of, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning still warrants consideration for those needing a temporary fix. He gets the Bucs at home, which should equal fantasy gold (forget what Alex Smith did this week - he doesn't count). […]

Nick Vannett (TE, SEA) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It appears the return of Ed Dickson was nothing more than a red herring. Since Dickson came off IR to post 54 yards and a TD in his first game back, it's been tight end Nick Vannett who has taken the reins as the primary pass-catching […]

Jeff Heuerman (TE, DEN) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Broncos were off in Week 10, so let's not forget that tight end Jeff Heuerman is fresh off a 10-catch, 83-yard game. With DT gone, there's a chance Heuerman keeps seeing more targets than expected. He could be a priority among those […]

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, ARI) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones saw a season-high nine targets in Week 10, catching five for 51 yards. He's hauled in just one TD on the season, which makes him hard to love in standard leagues. A home game against the Raiders […]

Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore keeps on keepin' on. Aside from the career rushing records he continues to set, Gore has shown that he can chip in a few points for standard-league owners on a weekly basis. Despite being massive underdogs on the road, […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks

The playoffs are coming... but not yet. With all the talk of trade deadlines and ROS prep, we should keep one thing in mind - you have to get there first. I've seen teams sell high and buy low right out of contention because they forgot to actually win games in the process of preparing […]

Josh Adams (RB, PHI) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Phialdelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams surprised everyone by running for 61 yards against the Jaguars in Week 8 on just nine attempts. That could be dismissed as a fluke performance, except that this is a backfield still lacking an established running back. Last […]

Tre'Quon Smith (WR, NO) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints wide receiver Trequon Smith a deep threat who will rely on big plays down the field to provide value. Unless he scores from four yards out. Smith caught two passes for 23 yards in the shootout victory over the Rams […]

Elijah McGuire (RB, NYJ) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire made his 2018 debut in Week 9, totaling 67 yards on 10 touches. That's better than it sounds considering how ineffective the Jets were in all other aspects of the game. Bilal Powell isn't coming back and Isaiah Crowell won't […]

Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel only touched the ball three times against the Bucs and came away with two scores. He showcased his breakaway speed on a 33-yard run and then took a pass 19 yards to the house in the fourth quarter […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Chris Herndon (TE, NYJ) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No TD this week but New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon saw his highest yardage total of the year in Week 9. Despite the return of Quincy Enunwa, Herndon caught four passes for 62 yards, leading the team. He remains a high-end TE2 […]

Jeff Heuerman (TE, DEN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: 10 catches, 83 yards, one touchdown. Done rubbing your eyes to make sure you read that correctly? An unexpected beneficiary of the Demaryius Thomas trade, fantasy owners must now pay attention to Denver Broncos tight end Jeff Heuerman as more than a TD-dependent play in favorable […]

Jordan Thomas (TE, HOU) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: All Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas does is catch touchdowns. The rookie has three scores in the last two games since taking over for an injured Ryan Griffin as the starter. Of course, he only has 36 yards in those two games and 127 on […]

Josh Doctson (WR, WSH) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No Redskins receiver has been worth playing in fantasy lineups this season, including the tight ends. Although Josh Doctson scored his first touchdown of the year in Week 9, he still hasn't reached so much as 50 yards in a game. If not […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick is back after a three-week hiatus due to a knee injury and did his thing as usual. That thing involves catching passes and not running the ball whatsoever. Riddick was targeted eight times, catching seven for 36 […]

D'Onta Foreman (RB, HOU) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman is scheduled to begin practicing this week, which is the first step in a return from the PUP list. It's unclear when Foreman will see game action, but those with space to stash and a need at RB […]

C.J Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to imagine a tight end having a better schedule than Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah. It continues with a home game against the Saints, who are fresh off a win in which they allowed 35 points and 391 passing yards. If Gerald […]

Jamaal Williams (RB, GB) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This backfield may belong to Aaron Jones soon enough but Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams will be in the mix still. With Ty Montgomery gone, Williams is set to see more work on passing downs since the team prefers him for pass protection over Jones. […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 9 Fantasy Football Picks

It's time to forget what you thought you knew. Halfway through the year, NFL teams now have a good idea whether they are contenders or simply playing for next year's draft picks. The trade deadline has passed, shaking up depth charts across the league. That means it is also time to throw that "draft stock" […]

Tyrell Williams (WR, LAC) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams hasn't seen his target share increase at all, yet over the last two games he has turned in huge gains for touchdowns on multiple occasions. He has an extremely high 16.3 aDOT and a fairly small 121 […]
