Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues and 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What's that sound? It's the siren song of garbage time points forthcoming. Heinicke played his worst game of the year against New Orleans, tossing two picks and completing less than half of his passes over 41 attempts. The Saints […]

Top Trade Targets and Avoids for Week 5

Welcome to Trade Targets and Avoids for Week 5. While trade strategy varies widely depending on league size and, most importantly, league mates, we will identify some players who are ideal targets in the current market. Those who follow last week's advice might have acquired Robert Woods before his explosion on Thursday night. We will […]

Smart Dynasty Early-Season Stashes

It would be easy to forget about waivers in dynasty leagues. Most of the promising young players are already rostered and some dynasty leagues are deep enough that there isn't anybody worth scooping up unless you want to take a flier on Kerryon Johnson becoming relevant again. Even for teams in win-now mode, there are […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

We had a clear frontrunner for top waiver priority and FAB burner this week before Sunday even began. Christian McCaffrey is expected to miss time with a hamstring injury suffered Thursday night, which means rookie Chuba Hubbard will be added everywhere by frustrated C-Mac stakeholders or sniped by others looking to spite their league mates. […]

Sammy Watkins (WR, BAL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Funny how Watkins is getting more passes thrown his way in Baltimore - the team with the lowest number of passing plays last year - than he ever did in Kansas City. Watkins has seen eight, seven, and seven targets in his […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Courtland Sutton's stakeholders weren't too thrilled, Patrick rewarded those who added him on waivers yet again. He didn't score a touchdown but he did come away with a team-high 98 receiving yards. Jerry Jeudy is still out and K.J. Hamler is going to miss […]

Emmanuel Sanders (WR, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sanders had gotten a fair amount of targets the first two games with 14 but had a lowly 42.9% catch rate. In their latest romp, the Bills supported multiple fantasy assets but Sanders was the one who found the end zone twice. […]

Trade Them in Dynasty Before It's Too Late

Last week, I discussed players worth acquiring in dynasty leagues before their stock continued to rise. You can read that article here, as it's still relevant in the dynasty realm. This time, we'll do the opposite and examine a few players to consider moving on from before the rug is pulled from underneath you and […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Week 2 was ugly in the early slate with low-scoring games and QB injuries across the board. Things picked up through the afternoon but the typical surprises that make fantasy football so aggravating at times resurfaced. Touchdown vultures, mid-game injuries, and big-name duds (looking at you, Alvin Kamara) were all present. Nevertheless, we move on to […]

James Washington (WR, PIT) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In an extremely frustrating turn of events, Diontae Johnson injured his knee on the final play of the game in a nine-point loss. That meaningless play could lead to missed time for Johnson and an increased role for Washington, who was targeted just once […]

Arizona Cardinals (D/ST, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Red Birds are in the upper half of the rostered threshold but will likely be dropped in many leagues after giving up 33 points to Minnesota. That would be a mistake because they are about to take on Jacksonville, which is […]

Carolina Panthers (D/ST, CAR) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Throw out the fantasy numbers and make Carolina your first DST claim based on matchup alone. Thursday nights are known for low score totals (except last week) but it's already been established that Houston will be without Tyrod Taylor. That means rookie Davis Mills will […]

Las Vegas Raiders (D/ST, LV) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rare will be the time when the Raiders defense enters the fantasy consciousness but the proposition of facing Miami with backup QB Jacoby Brissett is one of those times. Brissett is a capable QB and won't throw a ton of interceptions but he has […]

Early-Season Dynasty Trade Targets

After one week of NFL action, the fantasy overreaction is already at a critical mass. Seasoned dynasty league managers have learned to take a patient, long-term approach to roster construction. Others are in the business of making knee-jerk reactions and filling their trade block with underperforming players from the results of a single game. We […]

Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

It felt good to enjoy a full Sunday of NFL action and follow every player on multiple fantasy teams. But now the work begins. Thankfully there weren't many serious injuries in Week 1 but there are always holes to fill or standouts you want to get a hold of before the competition. That's where this […]

Burning Questions for 2021 Fantasy Football

You have questions and that's only natural. Inquiring minds want to know what the upcoming football season has in store. There won't be as much uncertainty surrounding the 2021 NFL season as there was in 2020 but there are always questions burning in the back of our minds. Fantasy football is filled with even more […]

After the Draft: Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Experienced fantasy managers know that once the draft is over, the real work begins. Leagues are often won through the waiver wire, not the draft. It's never too early to start digging for gems that could pay off huge during the coming season. As we will do every week throughout the regular season, we present […]

Projecting RB Potential: Talent, Touches, Team Context

Running backs are the hardest position to project for fantasy football yet the most critical. A talented runner who has breakout potential may be hampered by a poor offensive system or limited touches. Conversely, a player who gets a high number of touches may not have the ability to take full advantage of the situation. […]

Must-Have Players for 2021 Fantasy Football

Winning in fantasy football requires just one simple strategy: pick the best players. Of course, we don't know who those players will be, otherwise it would be too easy. That's where extensive research and opportunistic drafting comes into play. Luckily, I've done the first part for you, the reader. The rest is up to you. […]

Dynasty Decisions - Injured Players to Target

Before Week 1 has kicked off, fantasy managers who drafted early are already having to blow a melancholy kiss goodbye to early draft picks like J.K. Dobbins and Travis Etienne. Painful though it may be, there is no choice but to click the Drop Player button and search for a suitable replacement. In the dynasty […]

All-Bust Team: 2021 Fantasy Football

You may have already seen one or both iterations of my 2021 All-Sleeper Team. Now it's time to flip that coin around and see what's on the other side. Busts aren't as fun to read about as sleepers but it's just as important to know who not to draft. It's a bit harder to define what […]
