Full Story »DeMeco Ryans (IDP - LB, PHI) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams IDP Leagues) ANALYSIS: In Week Five, DeMeco Ryans had a terrible game against the Giants. But in Week Six, he responded with his best game of the season– 12 solo tackles. On the season, Ryans has 40 tackles, 11 assists, and a sack, which averages to nearly […]
Full Story »GB , DEF – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (14+ teams) ANALYSIS: This week, the Packers will be facing a Browns team that has surprised this season. However, Brandon Weeden is back at the QB helm, he and threw two picks that cost him the game last week. I expect that OC Norv Turner will stress at practice this week […]
Full Story »MIN, DEF – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (10+ teams) ANALYSIS: Eli Manning is having a terrible season. His offensive line cannot protect him and he is throwing interceptions at an epic pace (15 so far). I expect the trend to continue this week with Minnesota. Unless Manning decides to stop pressing this week (which doesn’t seem likely), I […]
Full Story »Mario Manningham (WR, SF) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Continue monitoring ANALYSIS: Last week, I mentioned that the San Francisco WRs have been struggling. The good news is that they have reinforcements coming in soon in Mario Manningham and Michael Crabtree. This year, Manningham has been out due to an ACL injury. Coach Harbaugh has indicated that Manningham will start practicing as he continues his […]
Full Story »Jarrett Boykin (WR, GB) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Continue monitoring (12 teams or less) Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams) ANALYSIS: As stated above, Green Bay is facing some WR depth issues with Randall Cobb and potentially James Jones out. The next man up at Green Bay is Jarrett Boykin. He saw immediate action and targets (six) this past week, but clearly was rusty/nervous as he […]
Full Story »Kris Durham (WR, DET) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams PPR) ANALYSIS: When Nate Burleson went down to injury, the speculation began that Ryan Broyles would be the beneficiary, but that hasn’t quite panned out as anticipated. Instead, Kris Durham has taken over the role. In the past two weeks, Durham’s had 21 targets, 11 catches, 113 yards and a TD. Matthew Staffordhas utilized […]
Full Story »Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams Standard, PPR) ANALYSIS: As the Giants continue to stink it up, the trade rumors begin to swirl about what will happen with Hakeem Nicks. If they move Nicks, Randle’s value will rise substantially. This recommendation is very much based on speculation, but I have a good hunch on […]
Full Story »Chris Ogbonnaya (FB/RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Stash in Deep PPR formats. Analysis: Ogbonnaya’s performance against the soft Lion’s D is most likely just a bump in the road for McGahee’s total usurpation of the Browns’ run game. That said, anytime a running back see’s 12 targets in the pass game, he is worth keeping an eye on in PPR formats. The […]
Full Story »Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Stash in deeper leagues, potential bye-week fill-in. Analysis: DeMarco Murray is expected to miss at least one week, meaning Joseph Randle is most likely in line for a start against the sub-par Eagles D. Lance Dunbar is struggling with hamstring problems at the moment, but should he be healthy, he could be a change-of-pace obstacle in the way […]
Full Story »Brandon Jacobs (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Stash is deeper formats Analysis: Don’t laugh, please. Against my better judgement, I have added Jacobs to the mix. While he is ancient, and has looked absolutely dreadful all season, his performance on Thursday Night Football warrants an appearance on this list. In a year with such a small pool of reliable backs, Old Man Jacobs’s 106-yard, […]
Full Story »Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Stash in all formats. Analysis: The upward-trending Ellington bumped his production up yet again this week. Ellington, still available in over 60% of leagues, was finally called upon more than the horribly struggling Mendenhall. For the first time this season, the Cardinals finally leaned more on Ellington, after weeks of him showing up the […]

Full Story »Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 7 Wide Receivers & Defense
This past week was the second week of major WR injuries to Randall Cobb (out 6-8 weeks), James Jones (PCL sprain - might be in/out next week), Cecil Shorts (AC joint injury - no time table at this time of writing), and Julio Jones (done for season). This doesn't include the other WRs who are […]
