BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Every time a player puts up a season-high he's going to command some attention.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Moment of silence for Amon-Ra St. Brown, who could catch eight targets for the first time in six weeks getting all the way back to Week 15 of the 2021 season. The Lions would have liked him to do it as […]

David Njoku (TE, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I shouldn't be writing this post because David Njoku's rostership is already above the self-imposed 50-percent limit, but we're here for a reason.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been quite a wild start to the season for Tyler Boyd and the Cincinnati Bengals by extension.

Tyler Conklin (TE, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Will Tyler Conklin win you the league? Most probably, he won't. Will any member of the New York Jets do? Definitely not.

Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Having a QB2-level performance tossing the ball to Chris Olave doesn't sound like a bad outing.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Seahawks might not be in such a great position as their former QB could put them into, but current veteran starter Geno Smith has been much better than advertised.

Khalil Herbert (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Man down! Man down!

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Reports indicate that Zach Wilson will be cleared to play starting in Week 4’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Marcus Mariota (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You can't name 12 quarterbacks better than Marcus Mariota. Well, maybe you can – in fact, Mariota is sitting right in the 13th position of the fantasy-point leaderboard through Week 3 – but I would still argue against your picks because not […]

George Pickens (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is taking Pittsburgh a little bit more time than we would have liked, but we're getting there.

Jahan Dotson (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Writing about Jahan Dotson as a great WW target ahead of Week 2 was something I expected. Doing so once more ahead of Week 3 is something I would have never thought I would be doing. Alas, fantasy GMs have yet to catch […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know what you're thinking. "Why is this guy telling me to add a tight end from a team boasting the best trio of WRs in the whole NFL?" Well, there is a very simple reason, and that reason is precisely based […]

Raheem Mostert (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's time to believe. Raheem Mostert, even though widely rostered in Yahoo fantasy leagues, put up a dud in Week 1 scoring just 4.2 PPR points while appearing in just 25 snaps (42% of all Dolphins' snaps). It is not that the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is the second season of Jared Goff in Detroit.
