BALLER MOVE: Bench and Stash
ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas contributed minimally in his team's win over the New York Jets in Week 8. Unfortunately, his favorite quarterback, Drake Maye (concussion), is now in concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the game.
The NFL’s officiating needs to be revamped and fixed. You miss this obvious helmet to helmet when a QB is giving himself up and it results in a potential concussion/Drake Maye being knocked out of the game. pic.twitter.com/52RwMS6sCR

We've seen plenty of "Pop" Douglas with backup QB Jacoby Brissett throwing him the ball, and it isn't pretty. The offense becomes incredibly one-dimensional, and Pop starts to get far fewer targets, becoming unstartable in fantasy leagues. It will probably stay this way until Maye comes back.
The freshman QB will likely miss at least one game, but it's not a great idea to drop Douglas. The upside is there when the rookie signal-caller is the one running the show, and he should be stashed on benches of managers who have room to stow him. You might be in for the long haul on this one, but it should pay off eventually.

Mack Hollins (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
