Joshua Palmer (WR, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Joshua Palmer's role is certainly going to grow in the coming weeks. That much was evident based on the routes run following Mike Williams' knee injury (torn ACL). Palmer operated as the team's No. 2 receiver and that'll likely be how they'll […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoAdam Thielen (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Adam Thielen has seen his target share and yards per route run average decrease in each of the last three years. Moving to a new team with a lesser quarterback certainly seemed to be the proverbial nail in the coffin, but Thielen […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If Tank Dell is still available in your fantasy leagues, you need to rectify that immediately. He's worth the No. 1 waiver wire claim and a hefty share of your FAAB. In Week 2, Dell earned 10 targets and finished with seven […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoFantasy Football Tight End Preparation For Week 3
In half-PPR scoring, we have exactly two tight ends with more than 17 total points. Hunter Henry is one of those two tight ends, so basically the tight end position is going exactly how we expected, right? Just pure, ugly chaos. Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce both missed Week 1. Darren Waller was limited in […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoWeek 3 Waiver Wire Pickups and Free Agent Adds – QB, RB, WR, and TE
As important as drafting is, working the waiver wire may be the most important part of winning a fantasy football championship. By being active on the waiver wire, you may have already added Rams running back, Kyren Williams. These players can be used to upgrade your starting lineup, to improve your depth, or in a […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoThe Cut List – Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 3
It has been some really ugly football through two weeks, not only with the overall product that's been on the field but with the amount of injuries we've seen. Between these two, fantasy managers have been put in tough situations early in the year. With many players underperforming, managers are left wondering if they should […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoSkyy Moore (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers should've been willing to give Skyy Moore another week after his Week 1 goose egg. That's because Travis Kelce missed Week 1 and he was a late addition to the injury report. This gave Andy Reid and the offense very little […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoFantasy Football Injury Reports for NFL WRs: Week 3 Updates for D.K. Metcalf, Christian Watson, Brandon Aiyuk, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jaylen Waddle
Yikes. Week 2 was a minefield for receivers. Fantasy managers had to deal with multiple players leaving the game early or being limited due to injuries they received during the game. Last week there were just six names in this article and now, we have 14! Just a brutal, brutal week and we’re just talking […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoDerek Carr (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Derek Carr completed almost 70% of his attempts in Week 1. He also threw for over 300 yards and one touchdown. Since he added very little on the ground and threw one interception, the outing was good for only 14.6 points. The […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoJustice Hill (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In the team's first game without J.K. Dobbins, Hill led the way with 43 of the team's 75 snaps. Gus Edwards played on 32 of the snaps. Despite scoring two touchdowns last week, fantasy managers flocked to Edwards at the expense of Hill. […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoBaker Mayfield (QB, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't look now, but Mayfield has quietly been quite good through two weeks. During the offseason, there was some chatter in fantasy circles that Mayfield may very well be this year's Geno Smith. He's this veteran quarterback who has largely been written off, but […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoSam Howell (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite being a fifth-round selection two years ago, Sam Howell has played well through the first two weeks of the season. He scored over 15.2 points last, thanks to a rushing touchdown, and had 21.2 points after throwing for almost 300 yards and […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoFantasy Football Tight End Preparation For Week 2
Welcome back to the most depressing article series you’ll read all year. That’s because it’s here where we’ll be focusing on the fantasy football tight end position. Week 1 could not have been any uglier without Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, and a limited Darren Waller. The tight end landscape was brutal. Just two tight ends […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoThe Cut List – Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 2
Week 1 always has a tendency to throw us a few curves. That’s the nature of dealing with a sample size of one. You’re going to get some funky stuff. The thing to remember is to try not to overreact. Yes, it’s important to pivot and admit when we got something wrong, but it’s also […]

With this week almost in the books, I'd like to welcome back to this year's first official fantasy football waiver wire article where I'll be looking at all the best players fantasy managers should be considering adding to their roster this week. It's difficult to make this article relevant to all the different kinds of […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoFantasy Football Injury Reports for NFL WRs: Week 2 Updates for Cooper Kupp, Jerry Jeudy, Christian Watson, Diontae Johnson, and Jakobi Meyers
Luckily, as far as injuries are concerned, it was a very good Week 1 in the NFL. For the wide receiver group, the one we’re focusing on here, we’re only tracking two new injuries. The football was sloppy, but our primary pass-catchers came out unscathed for the most part. We’re still keeping tabs on three […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoJonathan Mingo (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 1
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Adam Thielen is washed. D.J. Chark (hamstring) is out. Terrace Marshall has face-planted for two years running. Hayden Hurst is a journeyman tight end who has never done much of anything. Jonathan Mingo is a high second-round pick who has run with the […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoWeek 1 Waiver Wire Pickups - After The Draft Free Agent Adds for RB, WR, TE, QB
Fantasy drafts might be in the books and you might feel stuck in a bit of a purgatory state until Week 1, but we can still be making upgrades to our roster. A lot of the time, players fall through the cracks, especially if you drafted 1-2 weeks ago. Fantasy managers should never be satisfied […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoIsaiah Hodgins (WR, NYG) - 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~172 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~230 ANALYSIS: The Giants traded for Darren Waller, who is expected to become Daniel Jones’ top target, pushing both Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins down the depth chart. However, the rest of their offseason additions are just average players. Moreover, none of them are true outside receivers […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoJerick McKinnon (RB, KC): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~118 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~126 ANALYSIS: Jerick McKinnon is one of the best values right now that can be had in the RB4 range of your fantasy drafts. He finished as the RB26 last year in half-PPR PPG. If you’re waiting on running back, McKinnon is one heck of a target late. […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoJonathan Mingo (WR, CAR): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~169 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~192 ANALYSIS: It’s surprising that Jonathan Mingo’s average draft position (ADP) has remained so low, considering the potential he brings to Carolina's offense. Are the players the Panthers signed such as Adam Thielen, D.J. Chark, and Hayden Hurst actually good enough to prevent Mingo from having a productive […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoRondale Moore (WR, ARI): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~132 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~179 ANALYSIS: Since DeAndre Hopkins was released, Rondale Moore's ADP has been steadily climbing, and it's likely to continue doing so. However, it's unlikely to reach a point where he becomes a receiver fantasy managers shouldn't be targeting. Moore's 2022 season mostly went unnoticed due to Marquise […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoFantasy Football Injury Reports for NFL WRs: Week 1 Updates for Cooper Kupp, Jerry Jeudy, Terry McLaurin, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, more
We are officially back, but unfortunately, I wish we’d meet here today under better circumstances. Despite it being just Week 1, fantasy managers will have an awful lot of receiver injuries to manage and make decisions on. Luckily (or not), it seems most of these injuries will make the decision rather easy. Painful, but easy, […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoWide Receiver Sleepers for 2023 Fantasy Football Drafts - Rashee Rice, Van Jefferson, Isaiah Hodgins, Jonathan Mingo, more
Fantasy football managers are often bombarded with buzzwords such as "breakout," "sleeper," and "bust." But do we truly understand the meaning behind these terms? If you were to ask five fantasy football analysts, there's a good chance you would receive five different answers. We’ll be defining a sleeper as a player who is drafted in […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoRookie Wide Receivers Best Set-Up for Fantasy Football Success in 2023
Rookie receivers are all the rage right now and with good reason. Fantasy managers have experienced monster rookie seasons from the likes of Ja'Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, Justin Jefferson, and CeeDee Lamb. We all want to be in on the next one that hits. All of those players had plenty of […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoCheap Workhorse Running Backs for 2023 Fantasy Football Drafts
One of the most common sayings when it comes to fantasy football is "volume is king." This is especially true for running backs, but it really applies to every single position. The more opportunities a running back has to touch the ball, the more yards they'll gain, and the higher chance they'll have of finding […]

Robert Lorge 1 year agoRunning Back Sleepers for 2023 Fantasy Football - Raheem Mostert, Roschon Johnson, Zach Evans, more
As NFL offenses and how coaches divvy up their team’s touches change, new fantasy football strategies emerge. Sometimes these changes can cause less popular strategies — like Zero-RB — to become increasingly more used and this is something we’re seeing this year. As more and more fantasy managers become concerned with the increase of the […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoCourtland Sutton (WR, DEN): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~94 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~108 ANALYSIS: The entire Denver offense was put through the wringer last season. Nothing was easy. Quarterback Russell Wilson was playing on a new team, in a new city, with a new coach for the first time in his NFL career. That new coach, Nathaniel Hackett, did […]
Robert Lorge 1 year agoZay Flowers (WR, BAL): Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers (2023)
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~100 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~125 ANALYSIS: At first glance, this may not look like one of the better landing spots because of how Baltimore’s offense has historically operated with Lamar Jackson under center. But the winds of change are blowing hard. Not only did they sign Odell Beckham Jr. to a […]
