Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We're breaking the 50%-rostership-at-most rule, but this could turn into a league-winning WW target so it makes sense to cover Mecole Hardman. As I have said in other past WW columns I have writing about Kansas City's players, it's a little bit […]

Evan Engram (TE, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took Evan Engram three weeks to make his season debut but it finally took place on Sunday with the Giants facing the Falcons. The truth? Engram pretty much stank; can't argue about that. But that's not what is of interest here. […]

A.J. Green (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Quite a leap of faith the one you'll need to take by rostering Green, folks. A.J. Green is coming off a horrid season--the worst of his career--in which all he could do was averaging 7 FPPG in PPR leagues with 111.3 total […]

Emmanuel Sanders (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it is a little bit surprising to find a player of Emmanuel Sanders caliber available in 75% of fantasy league, the truth is that those thoughts are more linked to his past than his present. Sanders finished four of the six […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ teams Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Broncos come off a demolition derby against the Jets, so it makes sense to find Teddy Bridgewater as just the 24th-best quarterback of Week 3's slate of games (pending MNF) as Denver ran New York off the field to a 26-0 […]

Jacoby Brissett (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ teams/2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The last time we saw Tua Tagovailoa grace a football field, back in Week 2, all he could do was completing one of his four passing attempts for 13 yards. He was forced out of the green after that, making way for […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For someone with Jameis Winston's production this season, the truth is that the near-50% rostership will end falling sooner rather than later. That doesn't mean Winston should be thrown straight out of every fantasy-squad window, though. Winston is producing low numbers but his […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ teams Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones has been all around the board to kick the year off. He debuted to the tune of a QB14 finish, proceeded to play to the QB4 levels in Week 2, and lastly this Sunday he closed the game against the […]

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ teams/2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Second week of the Taylor Heinicke era in Washington, and second game in which the forced-started passed the test rather nicely. I don't think anyone in the world is happy with Ryan Fitzpatrick missing time as he brings the fireworks weekly, but […]

Chuba Hubbard (RB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is far from your under-the-radar WW option. In fact, not many players with such a low usage and volume of opportunity are as rostered as Chuba Hubbard was prior to the last TNF. That's what happens when you're Christian McCaffrey's backup, […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is more of a bet than a solid addition at this point, but we might be getting there slowly but surely. Nobody is going to label Terrace Marshall Jr. as more than a low-end receiver playing a secondary role for the […]

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ teams/2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As ridiculous as it sounds, Sam Darnold has been around for three full seasons already and is now throwing rocks for the fourth season in his NFL career. He's doing so in Carolina, which traded for him this offseason to grab him […]

Undervalued / Overvalued Centers - 2021-22 Fantasy Basketball ADPs

A key part of doing a fantasy draft is avoiding players who find themselves in a bad situation. The wrong pick can completely tank your season. On the other hand, rostering players in perfect situations can be the ultimately league-winning move for savvy fantasy GMs. Today, let's talk about some potential busts and sleepers at […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC 266: Volkanovski vs. Ortega

After three straight "Fight Nights" taking place in the UFC circuit, we're back at the heavy stuff.

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Hear me out, and hear me well: this is the last time you'll have a chance to get some Darnell Mooney shares and roster him in your fantasy squads before he crosses the 50-percent rostership and gets into some fantasy GM team. […]

Michael Carter (RB, NYJ) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The hype was high around the freshest New York Jets' running back Michael Carter entering Draft SZN. And his current 50% rostership in Yahoo leagues speaks about that. Most of Carter's fantasy GMs, though, were very disappointed to find the rusher playing […]

Rondale Moore (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie receiver Rondale Moore will have to endure some growing pains, but there is nothing to hate about that. After playing just 20 offensive snaps (29%) in Week 1, Arizona put him on the field for 28 (46%) this past Sunday and […]

Henry Ruggs III (WR, LV) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Henry Ruggs III stan here. Don't judge me, I just love explosive players and Ruggs just proved to be one of them. I know, Ruggs was rather disappointing as a rook last year finishing the 2020 campaign and his first as a […]

James White (RB, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I won't stop preaching the James White Word any time soon, but the fact that this man was the leading scorer of the Patriots in Week 3 and the third-best fantasy player of the team in Week 1 tells you all […]

Cordarrelle Patterson (RB, ATL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's a bird... it's a plane... it's the greatest kick returner of all time! You never thought you'd read this, but here it is: Cordarrelle Patterson led his team in fantasy points this weekend, finished as the RB4 through Sunday night games, […]

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Haters gonna hate, and while they're at it, I'll keep believing. Maybe I was a bit too high on Sam Darnold when he landed in New York as the Jets' freshest franchise QB, and that surely backfired. But this change of scenery definitely looks […]

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this while looking at the list of eligible fantasy quarterbacks in Yahoo. As many as 15 are rostered in 75% of leagues or even more. It's slim pickings when it comes to quarterbacks, folks, so don't get too mad at Heinicke […]

Darius Slayton (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Something happened during the last seven days regarding the New York Giants. Going straight to the point: fantasy folks realized that Sterling Shepard, for the second consecutive season, is the receiver to roster among those playing for Big Blue--thus the rise in […]

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is only one thing separating Tony Pollard from playing the RB1 role for the Cowboys: Ezekiel Elliott--the contract, not the player. Was it not because of his absolutely monstrous deal, Dallas will be more than happy starting and handing most of […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know, I know. I'm breaking the golden rule of not writing WW posts about players rostered in more than half of Yahoo leagues, but this one was just a no-brainer to include in this week's batch of targets. We focus on […]

Emmanuel Sanders (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After logging a very healthy 8 targets in Week 1 but only catching 4 of them, fantasy GMs out there blasted Emmanuel Sanders and the Bills as a whole. Now, one week later, and after another game in which he logged 6 […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, DEN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I just can't hate Teddy Bridgewater. Teddy B is what he is, but what he does he does perfectly. Forget about booming days, or spectacular performances coming from him. Bridgewater is a safe-first quarterback and that won't change at this point in his […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Back-to-back top-10 finishes? Not bad? QB1 status two weeks into the season? Sublime. All of that even while throwing the ball to a subpar group of pass-catchers? Fantastic. Derek Carr has always been a boring fantasy player and not the definition of […]
