BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Smith’s three catches for 27 yards in Week 7 would be decent for many tight ends, yet it was his worst effort of the season. That is saying a lot for Smith considering he is the No. 2 TE on his own […...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Wilson Jr. was designated for return from injured reserve (rib/finger) on October 11 which presented the potential for him to make his season debut in Week 6.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints aren’t having the best season, but Derek Carr is still airing the ball out and putting up empty yards (which is perfectly fine for fantasy football).

BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Make sure to check your waiver wires for the Dolphins defense.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I was high on Cooks coming into the season and through six games (the Cowboys were on bye in Week 7), Dallas played very few "normal" games.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The recent avalanche of developments that have impacted the running back landscape might have obscured the significant rise in Singletary’s involvement during Houston’s Week 6 matchup with New Orleans.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With as well as D'Onta Foreman has played over the past two weeks, the breakout potential for Johnson seems to have evaporated.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers are both on IR and will miss the next three weeks.

Kyler Murray (QB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cardinals have been surprisingly competitive through seven weeks with Joshua Dobbs at quarterback.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Mayer only caught two passes for 13 yards in Las Vegas’ embarrassing Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears, but the lack of numbers can be blamed on veteran seat-filler Brian Hoyer being the one throwing many of the passes. Mayer has […...

Taysom Hill (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Taysom Hill is no longer a gadget quarterback disguised as a tight end, fantasy folks! He is a bonafide pass catcher and has been handling his tight end duties with the Saints like he has played there all his NFL life. Hill […...
