Ben Ruppert - RotoBaller

249 articles

From Buffalo NY, but my favorite team has always been Cleveland. Ill ride that train until I die. However! Rule #1: Do not mix fantasy and your favorite team. Been playing fantasy longer than I can remember. Love it. Hoping to write some helpful stuff!

Justin Hunter (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Sammy Watkins out for several weeks and Robert Woods hobbled, Justin Hunter has moved into a bigger role for the Bills. He was underwhelming in fantasy this week, catching only two passes for 25 yards, but he played a season-high 93% […]


Cordarrelle Patterson (WR, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cordarrelle Patterson caught all seven of his targets for 67 yards, including 14-yard, garbage-time touchdown. It is still nice to see him being targeted in the red zone, even if it was late in a meaningless game. Patterson now has at least […]


Marqise Lee (WR, JAC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee has been slowly but surely carving a role out in this Jaguars offense, and finally broke through this week. He caught 7-of-8 targets for 107 yards — all season-highs — as the Jags tried to get back within striking distance […]


Davante Adams (WR, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After spending most of the week in concussion protocol, Davante Adams was a catch machine this past Thursday. He caught a whopping 13-of-16 targets for 132 yards and two scores on the day, and was the main source of offense for the […]


Quincy Enunwa (WR, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Quincy Enunwa only caught two passes on Sunday, but he really made them count. His two receptions went for 73 yards, including a 69-yard touchdown reception from Geno Smith that Enunwa was able to break loose and take all the way to […]


Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If for some reason Jamison Crowder is still unowned in your league, he likely won’t be after the waiver period ends. He has been a big part of the Redskins’ offense all season long, and capitalized on his opportunities this week. Crowder […]

Quinton Patton (WR, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In Colin Kaepernick’s first game, Quinton Patton proved to be the biggest benefactor. He posted his best stat line since Week 1, catching four passes for 52 yards, and he was tied with Jeremy Kerley and Torrey Smith for the team lead […]


Justin Hunter (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Justin Hunter hauled in his second touchdowns in as many games for the Bills, catching one of his two targets for a 30-yard score in the third quarter. Hunter played more snaps than he did last week, and at 6’4” and 203 […]


Seth Roberts (WR, OAK) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Seth Roberts won’t wow you with the volume of targets he receives, but he is always a threat to find the end zone. He has three touchdowns through the first six weeks of the season so far, after recording five last season. […]


Kendall Wright (WR, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kendall Wright has been quiet since his return from a hamstring injury, but the Titans’ wideout made his presence felt this week. Wright led the team in targets, catching 8-of-9 for 133 yards, including a ridiculous diving catch for a 48-yard TD. […]


Kenny Britt (WR, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Kenny Britt has been the Rams' most consistent weapon all season long, and was finally able to find the end zone last week not once, but twice in St. Louis’ narrow loss to Detroit. Britt caught 7-of-8 targets for 136 yards and […]


Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jamison Crowder has slowed a bit since his hot start to the season, but he still makes for an interesting add this week. Last week, Crowder caught 3-of-4 targets for 54 yards and a TD, his third of the season. Crowder has […]


Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: What else does this guy have to do to get picked up in the other half of these leagues!? Cole Beasley continued his career year in Week 6, catching all six of his targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns. It was […]


Cameron Meredith (WR, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If Cameron Meredith made it through free agency last week in your league, this is the week to get him for sure. Burn your top claim on him if you have to. Over the past two weeks with Hoyer still at QB, […]


Wide Receivers Waiver Wire: Week 7 Pickups & Adds

What’s up everyone! Welcome back for your Week 7 fantasy football waiver wire WR options. This week we have a number of options that have emerged, several of whom are likely available in your league and could help out your WR situation.

Cordarrelle Patterson (WR, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cordarrelle Patterson was the hot WR to own a few years ago, but he was never able to put his physical attributes together and use them to his advantage. This season he is slowly seeing his usage increase from returning kicks, to last week […]


Marquise Goodwin (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marquise Goodwin has been good for a long catch every few games this season, but this past week was a little different. Goodwin was tied for the team lead with six targets, catching two passes for 13 yards and a score. While that stat line seems […]


Jeremy Kerley (WR, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Jeremy Kerley was dominant on Sunday for the 49ers, catching 8-of-13 passes for 102 yards and a TD. This is the second straight game with a TD for Kerley, who has completely separated himself from the rest of the WRs in San Francisco. He […]
