BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: When most people think of the Lions offense, they immediately think Megatron, Reggie Bush and of course Matt Stafford, but the often forgotten about and most undervalued player in this offense is non other than former Vikings and Seahawks great Nate Burleson. Posting 73 catches on 110 targets […]
Full Story »Fred Jackson (RB, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add immediately in all leagues. ANALYSIS: I’m shocked that Fred Jackson is still available in nearly 50% of leagues. In a year with such a thin RB class, Jackson should at least be riding the pine in nearly every league. In spite of being C.J. Spiller‘s backup, Jackson has outperformed Buffalo’s starter and forced […]
Full Story »Bryce Brown (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stash in all leagues. ANALYSIS: As much as I hate to admit it as a LeSean McCoy owner and fan, Chip Kelly’s offense makes a full season for Shady far from a guarantee. Should McCoy miss any time, Bryce Brown, still available in 60% of leagues and former High School Player of the Year, stands to step […]
Full Story »Joique Bell (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add immediately in all leagues. ANALYSIS: While Bell has been claimed in most leagues, he is still available in many. Joique is a versatile back who has put up huge numbers so far, especially considering he’s a backup. Reggie Bush is in no danger of losing his starting role, but his injury list is growing. […]
Full Story »Mikel Leshoure (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stash in deeper leagues (12+ teams). ANALYSIS: Mikel Leshoure is available in 90% of leagues. This is probably not a shock to most, considering he has yet to register a carry, but he is worth stashing in deeper leagues. Last season, Leshoure put up over 1,000 yards from scrimmage with nine touchdowns on […]
Full Story »Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper leagues (12+ teams) ANALYSIS: Only consider Rodgers if you are desperately thin at RB. Depending on the severity of Steven Jackson‘s injury, Rodgers could see some time as a starter in a timeshare with Jason Snelling. That said, Snelling outperformed Rodgers in Week Two, running for 19 yards and a touchdown on […]
Full Story »James Starks (RB, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add immediately in all leagues. ANALYSIS: With Eddie Lacy leaving Week Two with a concussion, Starks made the most of his opportunity to head Green Bay’s rushing attack. The versatile Starks ran roughshod over the suspect Redskins’ defense to the tune of 132 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. He also added 36 receiving […]
Full Story »Kellen Winslow, Jr. (TE, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Winslow was good in Week One against Tampa Bay with seven catches for 79 yards and one TD, but he failed miserably against the Patriots– he only caught three passes for 39 yards. Winslow gets the Bills this week and could rebound with a solid game. H’es not necessarily capable of performing […]
Full Story »Coby Fleener (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE; Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Fleener had a better game in his second week of action for the Colts, as he caught four passes for 69 yards with one TD. This was a huge increase in production as he only caught one pass for seven yards in Week One against Oakland. I would wait to see if […]
Full Story »Charles Clay (TE, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Clay had another solid game for the Dolphins, catching five passes for 109 yards against the Colts with one receiving touchdown, averaging 21.8 yards per reception. He is looking like a solid fantasy tight end that should be started if available in your league. He could have another big game in […]
Full Story »Alex Smith (QB, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Reid favors the passing game and it looks like he is already rejuvenating Smith’s career. Through two games, Smith has utilized a conservative passing approach that has him completing 42 out of 70 passes for an average yards per completion of 5.66. He is going to be careful with the ball and […]
Full Story »Deandre Hopkins (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (10+ teams PPR& Standard) ANALYSIS: For many years Houston has been lacking a #2 punch to Andre Johnson in the receiving corps. This year, Houston drafted ‘Nuke’ to be that guy and in week 2 we saw what he’s capable of (117 yards, 1 TD). There are people within the organization that believe […]
Full Story »Josh Gordon (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (8+ teams PPR & Standard) ANALYSIS: Last year Gordon burst onto the NFL season posting a strong season with 805 yards and 5 TDs. Unfortunately for Gordon during the offseason he was suspended 2 games for violating the substance abuse policy. Surprisingly, many fantasy owners who drafted him saw his eligibility […]
Full Story »Philip Rivers (QB, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Rivers’s Week Two performances against the over-discussed Eagles more than made up for his subpar Week One game against the Texans. Rivers eviscerated the Eagles D, going for 419 yards, three TDs and a 76.6% completion rate. Upcoming games against Tennessee, Oakland, Dallas, Indianapolis and Jacksonville are not particularly […]
Full Story »Matt Schaub (QB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: In his first two games, Schaub has had 45 and 48 pass attempts, putting him second in the league in PA behind only Joe Flacco. Schaub benefits from a stud offense with Arian Foster, Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins that will open up the field and score points. The Texans put up 298 passing yards against the […]
