NFL Draft Reaction - WR ADP Fallers

We've been examining some of the top ADP risers following the outcomes of the 2021 NFL Draft, including a look at RB Risers, WR Risers, TE Risers, and QB Risers. We now shift to the other side of the equation with some fallers. With free agency and the draft finalized, it makes sense to look at how […]

Dwayne Bacon (SG, ORL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Of course you won't believe this, because you won't, but I swear it is as true as it is you're reading it: Dwayne Bacon of all men has scored the 35th-most points in May through Friday. Seriosly. He's scored more points than the […]

Jaxson Hayes (C, NO): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: I am positively convinced there is not a higher-upside play than adding Jaxon Hayes to your squad almost no matter which type of league you're still managing in. If you're fighting for the championship, or whatever you're doing in that weird league of […]

Raul Neto (PG, WAS): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm here to celebrate the Wizards making it to the play-in this season. I guess the Russ haters out there will have to eat the L... The Wiz are pretty much locked into the mini-tourney and will face the Pacers in it, only […]

Bryn Forbes (PG/SG, MIL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: All of a sudden, Milwaukee is the second-best team in the East. Say what!? That's right, folks. Kind of, at least. The Bucks and the Nets are tied for the second spot with an equally nice 43-24 record each. But the Bucks, good […]

Ty Jerome (PG/SG, OKC): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Always keep an eye on under-the-radar, low-maintenance players widely available out there, folks. The Thunder tanking effort has been sublime, as OKC has gone a stupid 1-19 in their past 20 games going all the way back to Apr. 2. LOL. That some […]

Kent Bazemore (SG/SF, GSW): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Warriors are, miraculously, this close to making it to the play-in as a top-8 seed, which means they are closer than ever to making the postseason pretty much on the ridiculous performances from Stephen Curry. That's cool and expected, but what about Golden […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: There could be safer moves to make for the last week of the season, but if you're still fighting for something entering the last week of play, KJ Martin is looking as a monster-add for anyone managing in deep leagues stretching the competition […]

NFL Draft Reaction - WR ADP Risers

We continue this series with another look at players whose fantasy football stock is on the rise following the 2021 NFL Draft. We've already looked at RB Risers, QB Risers and TE Risers. Now, let's examine the wide receiver position. By now, with free agency and the draft finalized and just a few players left to be […]

Dwight Howard (C, PHI): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: If Dwight Howard is not the best backup center widely available and with more than a reasonable path to fantasy points these days, then I don't even know... While the Sixers are still pretty much fighting to retain the no. 1 seed from […]

Oshae Brissett (SF/PF, IND): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: What a gem did the Pacers found in Oshae Brissett, man. Not surprising, though, considering he's a former Raptor and Toronto development-program alum, and you know how the Raps system pumps out talent on a yearly basis. Brissett's short 2021 NBA run started […]

Daniel Theis (PF/C, CHI): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Theis was a daily fixture in Boston's starting lineups from the start of the season to the trade deadline. Not because Boston stopped playing him, but rather because they cut ties with him entirely as they moved him to Chicago. Theis then […]

Trevor Ariza (SG/SF, MIA): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: I might be alone in Ariza's Island, but I'm going to die on it if that's what needs to be done. Ariza is a great player, full stop. Is he going to finish the season as a top-tier player? No. Is he the […]

Khem Birch (PF/C, TOR): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's a little disappointing to have the Raptors missing on the postseason, even more after they got the chip just two (!) seasons ago, but that's the world we live in, folks. The Raps got a gift in the shape of Khem Birch […]

Frank Jackson (PG, DET): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Pistons took a flier on Frank Jackson after Oklahoma City cut him on Dec. 21. It took him more than three months to start getting noticed, but once he did (right after the AS break) he just couldn't stop putting on nice […]

Kyle Kuzma (SF/PF, LAL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 54% of leagues ANALYSIS: If we know something about the Los Angeles Lakers, that is that they are on a very middling run that has them fighting to avoid the play-in due, mostly, to a bunch of injuries hitting them hard during the past few weeks. LeBron […]

Dwight Powell (PF/C, DAL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Don't look know, but it's been three games in a row (all taking place this month) for Powell hitting 30+ FP every time he's been on the court, and coming off the pine in two of them he's logged back-to-back 27+ minutes of […]

RJ Hampton (PG, ORL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: Is there a hotter player in the Association these days? No, seriously. In the month of May, all RJ Hampton has played are three games. The average fantasy tally in those three--coming off the pine!--has amounted to a total of 43 FP in […]

Facundo Campazzo (PG, DEN): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: At the risk of sounding like a broken record, there is no point in skipping talking about Facundo Campazzo as an absolute steal if you're still managing in a super-long, deep league. Facu has taken the reins of the Nugs since Jamal Murray […]

Wasn't this supposed to be UFC Vegas 26: Sandhagen vs. Dillashaw in a battle of former champs? Welp. Dillashaw was forced out after getting headbutted in training (LOL) so a […]

NFL Draft Reaction - TE ADP Risers

I am going to start this column by introducing the concept of ADP, which I'm pretty sure you are already familiar with. Just in case you're not, Average Draft Position (ADP) indicates the average position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you […]
