T.J. Yeldon (RB, JAC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While there has been divergent opinion concerning the potential for Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon to supply stand-alone value for owners who had not drafted Fournette, his stock now elevates dramatically after yet another Fournette injury (hamstring). Yeldon carried 14 times for […]

Kelvin Benjamin Quiet In Week 1 Loss

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin generated only 10 receiving yards in Week 1 after catching just one of his seven targets. He also dropped a throw from Josh Allen that should have been a touchdown during his disappointing performance. Buffalo’s situation at quarterback should concern Benjamin’s owners, as should the dearth of talent throughout […]

LeSean McCoy Rushes For Just 22 Yards

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy was expected to commandeer a massive workload in Week 1, as he is the centerpiece of Buffalo’s offense, and weather conditions appeared to favor an extensive commitment to the ground game. But 33 running backs and four quarterbacks all carried the ball with greater frequency, as his seven attempts […]

Josh Allen Makes His NFL Debut

Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Josh Allen entered Buffalo's Week 1 matchup in Baltimore with the Bills trailing 40-0 and completed six of his 15 passing attempts for 74 yards. He had an excellent opportunity to generate his first touchdown pass, however Kelvin Benjamin was unable to make the catch. Allen was able to move the […]

Nathan Peterman Delivers Forgettable Week 1 Performance

Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman became the 11th different signal caller to start in Week 1 for the Bills since Jim Kelly’s final season. Unfortunately, the prestige of functioning as the team’s starter may be short-lived, after a performance that can charitably be labeled as forgettable. Peterman completed just five passes for 24 yards, before […]

Charles Clay's Week 1 Workload Could Increase

The Buffalo Bills passing attack was already facing an arduous task in Week 1 due to the shortcomings of the team’s revamped offensive line, the limitations of the wide receiving weaponry and the formidable Baltimore defense. Now, inclement weather can be blended into the unwanted mix of obstacles, as rain and sustained wind of at […]

Week 1 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

After months of painstaking preparations toward determining how to draft your collection of running backs, you may have initially believed that you had successfully navigated the unpredictable flow of the live draft process. But when you reviewed your roster, that optimism faded, as you realized that this critical position had not been completely addressed. Maybe […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Devontae Booker may not be a great option at first glance. Whether you reviewed Denver’s numbers during the preseason, watched video of the team's games, or allocated time toward doing both, the results repeatedly confirmed that Royce Freeman should be the […]

James White (RB, NE) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Amid the offseason focus on first-round pick Sony Michel, and the versatile Rex Burkhead, New England Patriots running back James White has not garnered the degree of attention that his numbers should warrant. He quietly finished ninth among all backs in targets (72), and 10th in […]

Eric Ebron (TE, IND) - Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~135 CURRENT ADP: ~150 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron is a tough player to trust. Many of you have believed in him before. Then after you drafted him, he proceeded to let you down. Maybe you persuaded yourself to trust him a second time, only to become even more disgruntled with the […]

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 CURRENT ADP: ~190 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins only played in 25 games from 2014-2016, which left him with uninspiring seasonal averages during that span (18 receptions/237 yards). However, after playing 655 offensive snaps in 13 games for the Jets last season, Seferian-Jenkins easily eclipsed those numbers (50 receptions/357 yards). He also […]

Peyton Barber (RB, TB) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 CURRENT ADP: ~160 ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber has a lower ADP, which clearly indicates massive disinterest by potential owners, despite growing evidence that he will enter Week 1 with a considerable workload. Head Coach Dirk Koetter has been effusive in his praise for the 5'11", 225-pound Barber, who has […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~125 CURRENT ADP: ~135 ANALYSIS: The names of Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Mike Williams and Tyrell Williams are not only adjacent on the team’s WR depth charts, but they are also being drafted right near each other in fantasy drafts. Earlier this summer, Tyrell appeared to be a superior option for owners despite his statistical […]

Matt Ryan (QB, ATL) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~105 CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had averaged 4,094 yards and 25 touchdowns heading into 2016, before he finished as the QB2 in fantasy points, while experiencing what was easily his most prolific season (4,944 yards/38-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio). While he was named NFL MVP after generating exceptional numbers in every major […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 CURRENT ADP: ~130 ANALYSIS: The majority of owners have dismissed Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr as a viable option this season, as memories of his substandard 2017 season have lingered (22 touchdowns/ 3,496 yards). Yet, he is just one year removed from a QB10 finish in 2016 (28 touchdowns/ 3,937 yards), during which […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~165 CURRENT ADP: ~175 ANALYSIS: While some within the fantasy community have been proponents of Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins throughout the summer, the fifth-round pick is still being selected three rounds later than fellow newcomer Nyheim Hines. However, a burgeoning list of favorable developments has converged for this 6’1”, 215-pound rookie, which could […]

Duke Johnson (RB, CLE) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~75 CURRENT ADP: ~85 ANALYSIS: If your initial thought upon seeing Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson as a draft sleeper is that he will be operating in one of the league's most congested backfields, then you are correct. However, the potential for discouraging or inconsistent touch totals is more relevant if you are considering Carlos Hyde or Nick […]
