Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You would think that an offensive wunderkind like Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay would fund a way to utilize his tight ends a little better, although it is hard to argue with his results over the past two seasons. Los Angeles Rams tight […]

C.J Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to imagine a tight end having a better schedule than Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah.

Malcolm Brown Could Be A Sneaky Stash

The Los Angeles Rams boast a legitimate MVP candidate in running back Todd Gurley. However, they have a pretty good backup in Malcolm Brown that could have more value down the stretch of this season. Even after their loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, they still hold a 3.5 game lead over the […]

Marcus Peters Has Been Getting Roasted

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Marcus Peters has been getting roasted by opposing wideouts in recent weeks and just allowed Saints receiver Michael Thomas to go for a franchise-record 211 yards and a touchdown in Week 9.

Todd Gurley is Slowed Down by Saints

Jared Goff Plays Well in Loss
