Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups for Week 14

Week 14 is the last week where NFL teams are on bye. Hip, hip, hooray!

The pickings will be […]

Top Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14: Tyler Conklin, Gerald Everett, Evan Engram

This is not the week for the starting tight end on your fantasy football team to be on bye. The NFL should not made it that four teams had to wait 13 weeks before getting their bye, but this is what fantasy managers must contend with. It is either the last week or second-to-last week […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups for Week 13

Week 13 might be the unluckiest week for fantasy football general managers. Forget about the history of the number 13. Forget about the fact four more teams are on bye.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A new offensive coordinator did not do much to change Engram’s role or the fate of the Giants offense this past Sunday, but Engram has been steady if not spectacular over the last five games (17-146-2).

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups for Week 12

You had your fill of turkey on Thanksgiving, so you do not want to be stuck with more turkeys in your fantasy football lineup this weekend.

Top Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12: Pat Freiermuth, Evan Engram, Tyler Conklin, Dan Arnold, Austin Hooper

This is not the week to have a turkey at the tight end position in your fantasy football lineup.

It is a huge week for football and fantasy football as the games become more […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 11

This is not the time of the season to have a player put up a zero in your fantasy football lineup.

There are certainly many other prospects on […]

Top Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11: Tyler Conklin, Logan Thomas, Evan Engram

Fantasy football’s regular season is past the halfway mark and headed for home! Fantasy football managers will be without Denver’s Noah Fant and Los Angeles’ Tyler Higbee at tight end this week due to their teams being on bye. This is on top of the ongoing Rob Gronkowski injury saga. There have been worse weeks […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 10

The push for the playoffs starts this week for millions of fantasy football general managers – unless your team is the Detroit Lions of your league. Four more teams are on bye this week, so the player pool is thinner than a Slim Jim. If one of your superstar starters might not play this week […]

Tyler Conklin (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It just shows how light the tight end position is with waiver wire talent that Conklin has been recommended every week throughout the season even though he has one touchdown in eight games. He has 13 receptions for 173 yards over Minnesota’s […]

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Who predicted that Arnold would end up being the top target in Jacksonville’s passing attack this season, especially since he did not even begin the year there? If you somehow did then I need you to tell me who I should start […]

Pat Freiermuth (TE, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Freiermuth was my top tight end waiver pick heading into Week 9 and then hauled in two touchdown tosses from Ben Roethlisberger on a national stage Monday night, so he has to be No. 1 for the second week in a row.

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 9

This is the time of the year where the NFL bye weeks start getting on fantasy footballers’ nerves.

Top Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9: Pat Freiermuth, C.J. Uzomah, Evan Engram, Mo Alie-Cox

The tight end herd on fantasy football waiver wires is thinning out as the season wears on. Millions of fantasy football managers have gaping holes they need plugged at the tight end position this week. Green Bay’s Robert Tonyan tore his ACL and is out for the season, which is terrible timing for those who […]

Tyler Conklin (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Conklin was added in 16 percent of leagues during his bye week, which is either a testament to what fantasy managers think of him or an indictment of the tight end crop out there on fantasy free agent lists. Minnesota’s top tight […]

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Uzomah was probably the most popular tight end on waiver wires last week as he was scooped up in 30 percent of leagues.

Pat Freiermuth (TE, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A new era has begun at tight end in Pittsburgh. Eric Ebron had a good run in 2020 and brought some stability back to the position, but he was never the long-term answer for the Steelers. The team needed a dependable tight end with […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

The shelves will not be as empty on fantasy football waiver wires this week.

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 8

A trio of fantasy football’s top tight ends will not be playing this week, which will have millions of fantasy football general managers scrambling like Lamar Jackson to fill their voids. Baltimore’s Mark Andrews and Las Vegas’ Darren Waller are on bye. Both were Top-5 fantasy tight ends entering the season and have been as […]

Sneaky Starts, Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

It might be Week 7, but that does not mean it is going to be a lucky week for fantasy footballers on the waiver wire. A half-dozen teams are on bye this week, which means 20 percent of the waiver wire crop cannot be picked since their teams will not be on the field. The […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

If you thought the teams on bye during Week 6 wreaked havoc on your fantasy football squads, wait until you get a load of Week 7. Forget about four NFL teams being on bye. Week 7 is not going to be lucky for many fantasy footballers because six teams have the week off. Two of […]
