Full Story »Mike Goodson (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Watch/Stash in deeper leagues. Analysis: The Jets are back to a full-blown running back committee. I strongly believe Mike Goodson is head-and-shoulders above his teammates in terms of talent and natural ability. His previous role in the return game is a plus. Goodson ran for 32 yards on just three carries in his season debut […]
Full Story »Willis McGahee (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add in all leagues. Analysis: Surprisingly still available in most leagues, McGahee finally seems to have learned his new offense enough to be effective and handle the load. In a year with so few reliable RB situations, Old Man McGahee is worth owning as the feature back in Cleveland. He put up a respectable line […]
Full Story »Bryce Brown (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Stash in all leagues. Analysis: If you can spare the bench space, there are few players with more potential upside than Bryce Brown. I mentioned him earlier in the season, but as he is still available in about two-thirds of leagues, I feel strongly enough about him to repeat it. Chip Kelly loves to run […]
Full Story »Marcel Reese (RB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Stash in deeper leagues/All PPR leagues. Analysis: I mentioned Marcel Reece earlier, and he once again becomes worth a look this week for most owners, as he is still available in over 90% of leagues. Furthermore, Rashad Jennings left the game in Week Five after suffering a hamstring injury, and his status is up in the air […]
Full Story »Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Stash in all leagues Analysis: I mentioned Ellington last week as someone to keep an eye on in the event he could win the confidence of his coaching staff over struggling teammate Rashard Mendenhall. He took yet another step towards accomplishing this in Week 5 by tallying 52 yards on just 7 carries. He also had […]
Full Story »Zac Stacy (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
Baller Move: Add in all leagues Analysis: Stacy got the start in Week Five against Jacksonville and managed 78 yards on 14 carries (5.6 YPC) before being knocked out with a minor rib injury. He is expected to start next week, albeit in a tough game against Houston. The St. Louis running back situation has been a […]
Full Story »Vontaze Burfict (IDP - LB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Immediately (10+ teams IDP Leagues) ANALYSIS: Burfict so far is having a fantastic season with 33 tackles, 17 assists, 1 sack and 1 TD. Over the past three weeks he's turned it up 22 tackles and 11 assists. If he continues this pace he will certainly pass his last year rookie […]
Full Story »STL , DEF - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (14+ teams) ANALYSIS: I'm going to go out an a limb with STL again this week. Why? They are facing a Houston offense who has four straight pick-six games in a row. This has caused a QB controversy- will Schaub start or Yates? Either way, I'm picking STL and […]
Full Story »PHI, DEF - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (10+ teams) ANALYSIS: Philadelphia is not a great defense (31st out of 32), but they are facing rookie QB Mike Glennon, which improves their value. I would advise you that this pick is strictly a streamer pick (i.e., only for this week), as I expect that turnovers will happen in this game. […]
Full Story »Justin Blackmon (WR, JAC) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (10+ teams Standard, PPR Leagues) ANALYSIS: Blackmon missed the past four weeks due to suspension, and during that time period, many impatient managers dropped him. I'll bet they soon will regret that decision. If you are in a league where you see Blackmon on the wire, go ahead and pick him up. […]
Full Story »Keenan Allen (WR, SD) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues (10+ teams Standard, PPR) ANALYSIS: Recently, Malcom Floyd was placed on IR due to injury, and since that occurred, Allen has been given an opportunity to replace him. So far he has not disappointed. The past two weeks, Allen has 195 yards, 11 catches and a TD. With Floyd out […]
Full Story »LaVon Brazil (WR, IND) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Continue Monitoring ANALYSIS: Brazil has not played a single game this season due to a suspension. I will admit this is a bit of a stretch recommendation, but I would recommend you monitor him. Why? He’s a speedster who can get separation and make plays if given the chance. The question is: will […]
Full Story »Michael Crabtree (WR, SF) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams Standard, PPR) ANALYSIS: If you haven’t noticed, let me enlighten you on something that’s happening in San Fran: Colin Kaepernick needs WR playmakers. San Francisco’s passing offense is ranked 31st out of 32 teams. That’s worse than the Jacksonville Jaguars! On Monday, head coach Jim Harbaugh stated that Crabtree is on […]
