Cam Akers (RB, LAR) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took time, sure, but it's happening. Finally, Cam Akers is the RB1 of the Los Angeles Rams, and it's time to celebrate! While Akers is already rostered in 50+ percent of Yahoo leagues, you still have a virtual coin-flip chance of getting him […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Lions opted to kick October off by waiving RB Ty Johnson after playing him for just 5 snaps in Week 2. Johnson signed with the Jets later, playing his first snaps for New York all the way back in Week 6. Since […]

Sony Michel (RB, NE) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Odds were Damien Harris would retain his RB1 role in the Patriots backfield with Sony Michel back this Sunday, and the latter sharing snaps and touches with James White on the ground. Turns out we were right in the first statement, but very […]

Dan Arnold (TE, ARI) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is nothing like a steady-performing tight end, right? Very right, indeed. But that is 1) a dream or 2) something only Travis Kelce is capable of becoming weekly. That's why you have to ride the hot hand at the position, roster and […]

Collin Johnson (WR, JAX) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Out-of-nowhere receiver Collin Johnson has led the Jaguars in receiving yards two weeks in a row now. He has been targeted more times (14) in the past two weeks than he was in the first 10 games of the season (13). Talk about […]

Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: By the time Odell Beckham Jr. got injured in Week 7, Rashard Higgins had already taken on the WR3 role in the Browns offense. Higgins wasn't much of a factor in the first two weeks of the season, but starting in Week 5 he […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After putting on the ultimate stinker one week ago (0.0-FP goose egg), Tim Patrick rewarded the fantasy GMs that held onto him with his second-best game of the season through W13. Patrick has not been a ground-floor fantasy asset all year long, and […]

T.Y. Hilton (WR, IND) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another week like the last two, and I'll be handling T.Y. Hilton my award for "Most Valuable Troll" of the 2020 fantasy season.

Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you have paid even the slightest of attention to NFL news lately, then you should know that the Texans have been hit hard by injuries and suspensions. Houston sent Randall Cobb to the IR and he won't be back until W15 […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After all of the talk, discussion, doubts, etc... it turned out that Miami's benching of Tua in W12 was indeed related to injury rather than a bad level of play. That's why the Dolphins trusted Tua as their starter once more this past Sunday, […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, CLE) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As incredible as it sounds, Baker Mayfield has avoided getting picked in the past five games he's played for the Browns. That is absolutely great news considering he was intercepted seven times in his first seven games, and although he fumbled once this past […]

Matthew Stafford (QB, DET) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Lions kicked Matt Patricia out of the organization, made Darrell Bevell their interim head coach, fell down by more than a few points yesterday, but pulled off the comeback thanks to a great run of plays by the new HC and QB Matthew […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After putting on a sucking-masterclass in Week 12, Derek Carr came back to his senses and led--barely, but still--the Raiders to another W against the Jets this past Sunday with a touchdown pass just seconds before the final whistle. Not only did Carr get […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC Vegas 16: Hermansson vs. Vettori (Premium Content)

This has been such a weird year that I don't know if having just three more UFC events on the schedule looks like too many, or if those three feel like too little for what is left in the 2020 calendar pages. Anyways, there is something true in that introductory sentence and that is that […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - Hermansson vs. Vettori (UFC Vegas 16)

This has been such a weird year that I don't know if having just three more UFC events on the schedule looks like too many, or if those three feel like too little for what is left in the 2020 calendar pages. Anyways, there is something true in that introductory sentence and that is that […]

NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

You won't believe it, but you weren't dreaming. That turkey you stuffed your face with a few days ago? Real. Your weekly meeting with football on the telly this past Sunday? Also real. All of that together only meant one thing: the fantasy football regular season is almost over, and with just one more week […]

Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Texans got mollywhopped by the NFL on Monday with the league handing six-game suspensions to both CB Bradley Roby and WR Will Fuller V for PED violations. Roby's is an interesting one, sure, but we're here for Fuller and his now-vacated […]

T.Y. Hilton (WR, IND) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Had you told me that I'd be writing about T.Y. Hilton as a WW target leading up to Week 13 of the 2020 season just three months ago, I'd have probably laughed at you. How times change, folks. We have completed two-thirds of […]

Nelson Agholor (WR, LV) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In what was one of the worst games of Derek Carr's career (1.6 FP, 22-of-34 for 215 yards), Nelson Agholor still found his way to a 10+ PPR score last Sunday. Agholor keeps beating all odds and racking up good fantasy performances against […]

Jakobi Meyers (WR, NE) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Jakobi Meyers might not be a WR1 in terms of fantasy performance, he--undoubtedly--is the Patriots WR1 these days. That doesn't mean he will always hit, much more considering New England has Cam Newton starting at quarterback. At least Meyers is getting […]

Cam Akers (RB, LAR) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Show me a weirder backfield than the Rams' and I'll show you a liar. It's been 12 weeks, two-thirds of the season, and the Rams have used three rushers in a rather balanced way since the start of the year. Darrell Henderson Jr. […]

Sony Michel (RB, NE) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you have any clue about how the Patriots backfield will operate ROS, I'll be waiting for your call.

Frank Gore (RB, NYJ) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I already told you about Frank Gore's availability and upside a week ago when La'Mical Perine fell down to injury in W11 and hit the Injured Reserve, making him ineligible until W15 at least. With Perine out, Gore came back to his heavy […]

Bisi Johnson (WR, MIN) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Adam Thielen out, someone had to step up for the Vikings yesterday. Enter second-year WR Bisi Johnson, who had one of the most efficient games of the weekend and helped Minny in getting another W to their season record. Bisi closed his […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Remember the 5-1 Bears? Yeah, me neither. LOL. These Bears have turned into the New York Jets in that it'd take a very unusual set of circumstances to roster any of their players not named Allen Robinson II, but here we are. Rookie […]

Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bills have been missing John Brown all season long.

Sammy Watkins (WR, KC) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It seemed like we would never see Watkins back on a field, but he finally arrived this past Sunday, and considering we're not in Week 1 anymore, Watkins had a reasonably good ease-in/comeback game. Sure, he only scored 7.8 PPR points, but in […]

Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Allen Lazard finally came back last week after missing all games in the W4-W10 span due to injury. He was very eased into the Packers game, logging just four targets of which he caught a couple for 18 yards on the day against Indy, […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I shouldn't be writing about Derek Carr because Derek Carr is rostered in more than half of Yahoo fantasy leagues. But in my favor, I have to say that I expect a lot of fantasy GMs (mostly those streaming him) to drop Carr […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, MIA) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last weekend marked the last time we got to watch rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa play NFL football. The last time to date, that is. He was benched for Ryan Fitzpatrick supposedly because of an injury and not a bad performance, though that was […]
