BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~24 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 26
ANALYSIS: Three players scored 50+ fantasy points in one game in 2023. Ja'Marr Chase and Amari Cooper finished in the top 20 at their position. De'Von Achane did not.
The Miami running back missed six games with injuries and played fewer than 10 percent of the snaps in two more. In those nine other games, he averaged 20.8 PPR fantasy points (inflated by 51.3 in Week 3). That would have placed him as the weekly RB3.
It's also very unlikely the second-year back sustains his insane efficiency. He led the league in yards per carry (7.7) and breakaway run rate (12.6%). One in approximately 13 of his attempts went for 15+ yards. The efficiency may dip but he can break off a long touchdown anytime.
The rookie is on fire! @ffvmousvon_ with the QUICK TD 🔥🔥

Head coach Mike McDaniel hopes to get Achane a couple more touches per game. He added a noticeable amount of mass to his 5-foot-9 frame to, hopefully, stay on the field. He'll split opportunities with returning starter Raheem Mostert.
Achane can be a top-5 RB. He can also catch the injury bug again and finish outside the top 20. Fantasy managers should play for a championship and take the gamble on Achane at the end of the second round.

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 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The waiver period has passed, but Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is still only rostered in 20% of Sleeper leagues. He actually led the team in rushing in Week 10, carrying the ball 10 times for 55 yards. He averaged […]
DeMario Douglas (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
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. New England has been maddeningly inconsistent with their wide receiver usage. However, the one constant has been Douglas. He looks like the team’s best pass catcher […]
Xavier Legette (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
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. Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has played much better in his two-game return as the starter. This gives some hope for the Carolina passing game with […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For weeks it has been speculated that Estime would get more touches in Denver’s offense. That finally came to fruition this past Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs as Estime carried the football 14 times for 53 yards. #broncos rookie RB Audric […]
