Herbert Jones (SF/PF, NO): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: We will see how things settle in New Orleans after their high-impact trades this past deadline, but for what it's worth and the little we've watched through Friday, things should remain the same (until Zion is back, at least) for rook Herbert […]

Brandon Clarke (PF, MEM): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: A lot of rumblings a few weeks back talking about the Memphis Grizzlies being sellers at this deadline turned out to be pure smoke. I mean, it could have made sense given Memphis has a freaking ton of players in a rotation […]

Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, DET): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're clearly not into 30+ minutes-per-game Hamidou Diallo anymore but after a little rough span of games from Jan. 21 to Feb. 3 in which Diallo could only average 20 MPG and even came off the pine twice in seven games, Diallo […]

Hassan Whiteside (C, UTA): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tons of folks out there disappointed by Utah and its deadline moves, which might be reasonable considering this franchise should be all-in while the Gobert-Mitchell pair is at the peak of its talents. Alas, no substantial moves happened other than adding Nickeil […]

Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to properly assess Chuma Okeke--or any player, for that matter--if only because of the fact he's part of a completely broken team in the Orlando Magic's. That said, though, we have to acknowledge Okeke as a bona fide above-average player […]

Reggie Bullock (SG/SF, DAL): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: My man Reggie has done it all for the Mavs. Point, two-guard, wing, you name it. Reggie Bullock signed with Dallas this past offseason after a nice regular season with the Knicks last year. Of course, the explosion of Jalen Brunson has […]

Jaxson Hayes (C, NO): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: I always believed in Jaxson Hayes making in this League, and I'm definitely not jumping off this man's train any time soon, folks. Hayes, who had played a ridiculously low 15 MPG from the start of the season to Jan. 29, has […]

JaVale McGee (C, PHO): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: See, JaVale McGee is definitely not going to be the man you remember when you think of the current iteration of the Suns in five or ten years. It makes sense, considering JVMG is playing a super low 16 MPG on the […]

Points Leagues Values: Third Basemen Set to Outperform ADP in 2022

This article will examine a few eligible third basemen for the 2022 MLB season that are being selected later than their Steamer projections suggest they should in points leagues and H2H points formats. RotoBaller's fantasy baseball points analyst Antonio Losada will be offering a few picks for both potential overperformers (sleepers) and shortcomers (busts) when […]

Points League Values: Shortstops Set to Outperform ADP in 2022

This article will examine a few eligible shortstops for the 2022 MLB season that are being selected later than their Steamer projections suggest they should in points leagues and H2H points formats. RotoBaller's fantasy baseball points analyst Antonio Losada will be offering a few picks for both potential overperformers (sleepers) and underachievers (busts) when it […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC 271: Adesanya vs. Whittaker 2

Five weeks into 2022 and only three events gone by the time Sunday morning hits, we'd have already watched a bunch of belts put on the line with such high-stake fights as those involving champs Ngannou and (now) Figueiredo back on Jan. 22, and the upcoming reigning GOAT middleweight Israel Adesanya. Truth be told, we […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC 271: Adesanya vs. Whittaker 2 (Premium Content)

Five weeks into 2022 and only three events gone by the time Sunday morning hits, we'd have already watched a bunch of belts put on the line with such high-stake fights as those involving champs Ngannou and (now) Figueiredo back on Jan. 22, and the upcoming reigning GOAT middleweight Israel Adesanya. Truth be told, we […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 17: Isaac Okoro, Jaxson Hayes, Doug McDermott, Josh Richardson, Austin Rivers

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Duncan Robinson (SG/SF, MIA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of leagues ANALYSIS: Five games. That's the count. That's the count of matches D-Rob hasn't started (while he played, I mean) for the Heat this season, and it only happened in a 10-day span in which he was coming off a week-long absence. Robinson is […]

Kevin Huerter (SG, ATL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kevin Huerter missed ample time from Dec. 17 to Jan. 3 but once he was back for good he's not surrendered the starting gig more than two games in a row--and that happened all the way back before mid-January. It's now been […]

Nicolas Batum (SG/SF, LAC): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: For someone past his peak, Nicolas Batum keeps racking up starts on a nightly basis in this barren Clips squad. The Clippers might opt to make some moves and sell the house come trade-deadline day, and we'll see how that goes, but […]

Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: After a month of play in which Chuma Okeke started 10 of 12 games (from mid-December to mid-January), the Magic sent Okeke back to the pine and trusted him to man a second-unit leading role. So far, so good for the second-year […]

Gary Harris (SG/SF, ORL): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you go check Gary Harris' fantasy profile you're going to think he's been a rather putrid option all season long. Makes sense on an FP/min basis considering Harris started every game (29 of them) from Nov. 20 to Jan. 26 while […]

Luke Kennard (SG, LAC): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Luke Kennard's last couple of games through Friday were not his best of the year, that's for sure. He could only play 16 minutes to close January in a game in which he finished 2-1-2 shooting 14% from the floor, and although […]

Kevon Looney (PF/C, GSW): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Another week, another set of starts for the Warriors center given the inexistent depth of the team at the big-man position. Seriously. With Draymond Green expected to miss three or four more weeks and James Wiseman not even on the radar, it's […]

Javonte Green (PG/SG/SF, CHI): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: Coby White and Zach LaVine are day-to-day casualties as I'm writing this on Saturday. Not that this is the main reason for Javonte Green to become an important part of the Bulls lineup, though, as Green has started the last 18 games […]

P.J. Tucker (SF/PF, MIA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't even know how I landed on P.J. Tucker, but here we are now I guess... Tuck Tuck is most definitively a winning asset to have around in an NBA squad. Now, in a fantasy team? That's more of a question […]

Ayo Dosunmu (PG, CHI): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: Ayo! It's now been 12 starts in a row for the Rookie of the Year! Let's go! Ayo Dosunmu came absolutely out of left field just by virtue of pure necessity, and oh boy is he thriving while manning the point for […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 47: Hermansson vs. Strickland

We can't sugarcoat it in any possible way: it's been a rather slow start to the 2022 calendar year when it comes to UFC events. Yes, we got UFC 270 and another event in Vegas prior to that, but we were coming off a month-long hiatus and we have now waited two weeks instead of […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 16: Garrison Mathews, Corey Joseph, Reggie Bullock, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Austin Rivers

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Brandon Clarke (PF, MEM): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Believe it or not, Memphis keeps on doing it, folks. The Griz are already third in the West and are just hours removed from defeating Utah on Friday night as I'm writing this on Saturday morning. Memphis is 3.5 games ahead of […]

Devin Vassell (SG/SF, SAS): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Devin Vassell's role in Pop's Spurs wasn't great last season, it wasn't bad either with Vass playing 62 games and 17 MPG. He's stepped up his game this season with a healthier dose of games and minutes as he's played in 42 […]

Ayo Dosunmu (PG, CHI): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Ayo! How about this rook!? Ayo Dosunmu already had the best name in the game, but he's also now in possession of a solid role in the L too. Ain't nothing wrong with this man, all things considered. Truth the told, the […]

Amir Coffey (SF, LAC): Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you were surprised to find Amir Coffey featured in last week's WW posts, I might have understood that reaction. This week, though, no chance. Coffey has started the last 12 Clippers games through Friday logging an average of 32 MPG on that dozen […]
