Baller Move: Stash in Deeper Leagues Analysis: When looking for deep league running backs to add to your fantasy football team, it’s always a good idea to scout the third-down backs, especially if you’re in a PPR league. The Patriots don’t have a dominant offense this year, and are looking for production from just about […]
Full Story »Roy Helu, Jr. (RB, WAS) – Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add in Deeper Leagues Analysis: Helu is currently only owned in 18% of Yahoo leagues, which makes some sense as he’s not the lead running back for the Redskins. But he is still getting some playing time behind Alfred Morris, and is taking advantage of his limited opportunities. Helu is also the third-down back […]
Full Story »Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, ATL) – Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add in All PPR Leagues Analysis: While Rodgers may not be the best long term solution for you at running back, he may be a solid week 7 option. Steven Jackson has been sidelined with an injury since week 2, and it looks like he still won’t be ready for week 7 action even […]
Full Story »Zac Stacy (RB, STL) – Waiver Wire Pickup
Baller Move: Add in All Leagues Analysis: Zac Stacy isn’t necessarily a deep league pickup, because he should simply be owned in ALL leagues including shallow ones. How is this guy only owned in 40% of Yahoo leagues? That’s just crazy. Although he hasn’t really been tearing up the stat sheets, Stacy has emerged as the lead […]

Full Story »Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Week 7 Matchup Play ANALYSIS: We’re going out on the limb recommending Eli, but his matchup against the 1-4 Vikings is a prime opportunity for him to breakout of his slump. Eli had the Giants in the game until the final minutes last week, with much credit going to the revived running game that saw Brandon […]
Full Story »Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Week 7 Matchup Play ANALYSIS: In only his second year, Tannehill is displaying the consistency you would expect from a seasoned veteran. The Dolphins offense runs through him– in five games, he’s thrown the ball at least 34 times and has had at least 236 yards in each game. With the exception of one poor game against […]
Full Story »Nick Foles (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: The best thing going for Nick Foles in his Week Seven matchup is that he’s playing the Cowboys, who are second in the league in points scored per game at 30.5. The Eagles are fourth in points scored, averaging 27.7 points per game, so it's very likely that this game will turn into […]

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 […]
