BALLER MOVE: Add
ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo has tremendous upside if lead running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) doesn't return (and it's unlikely he will) and his backup Jordan Mason (shoulder) is sidelined due to his AC joint sprain. The thing about 49ers running backs is that it really doesn't matter who they are.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan schemes a fantastic running game and the offensive line has done a great job at run blocking this season. This is a bit of a no-brainer. Whichever running back starts for this team should be locked into fantasy lineups in every league.
The rookie himself brings tantalizing upside. He ran a ridiculous 4.33 40-yard-dash at the NFL combine this year, and reached a top speed of 20.64 MPH on his biggest run. Not bad for a player listed at 221 pounds. His acceleration is absurd, and he can exploit gaps in the offensive line, turning them into huge plays.
He should not be on waivers going into Week 7. Pick him up if you can.

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 […]

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 […]
Audric Estime (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11
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 […]
