Joe Mixon - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Free Week 15 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions

We enter Week 15 coming off another 1-1 outing. The Steelers won comfortably in their rematch with the Cleveland Browns, and we easily cashed that ticket. The Chargers couldn’t hang on to close out the Chiefs, and we lost that moneyline play on a last-second field goal. However, we finished Week 14 up +.9 units, […]


Trey McBride - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers, Tight End

Best/Worst Fantasy Football Playoff Schedules and Matchups for Weeks 15-17 (2024)

The holiday season is officially here and, more importantly, the fantasy football playoffs are about to begin. It's the time of ultimate judgment that allows only one man or woman to raise their hands in victory and hoist their league trophy. While your immediate attention is focused on either locking up a playoff berth or […]


Bucky Irving - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Sunday Injury Report: Updates for Bucky Irving, Isaac Guerendo, Jonathon Brooks, And More

Well, the regular season for fantasy football is just about over. We have one game left to determine any remaining playoff spots. Hopefully, you’re reading this column after a sound night of sleep knowing your team has a spot in the dance. If your fate will be decided later tonight, I wish you the best […]


Russell Wilson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Free Week 14 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions

Another 1-1 outing for us last week. We nailed our Rams pick as they covered in a 21-14 victory over the New Orleans Saints. However, the Cincinnati Bengals let us down in a big way. Things started great as the Bengals got a pick-six on the first series of the game, but they couldn’t capitalize […]


Will Levis - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 14 Lineups Include Tyrone Tracy Jr., Will Levis, Chuba Hubbard

After 13 grueling weeks, the fantasy playoffs are just one week away. Normally, I like to start this column by recapping the previous week. I do so to be as transparent with people as possible. And while we had our usual shares of hits and misses last week, we are going to skip the formalities […]


Christian McCaffrey - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS and Betting Picks, NFL Injury News

Fantasy Football Sunday Injury Report: Updates for Christian McCaffrey, Trevor Lawrence, Ladd McConkey, And More

It was slow going on the injury front again this Sunday. It’s a lot easier to write this column every week when there aren’t numerous serious injuries to report. All in all, we escaped Week 13 relatively clean. Most of the injuries have very little fantasy implications. However, there was one big-name player who went […]


Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 13 Lineups Include Bucky Irving, C.J. Stroud, Mark Andrews

Thanksgiving week is here. Hard to believe we’ve come this far, but here we are. Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy all the good food if you celebrate. If you don’t, then enjoy all the football this week! We had some fantastic calls here for Week 12. Tua Tagovailoa and Jayden Daniels both popped for big games. […]


Puka Nacua - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Free Week 13 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions

To those of you who celebrate, Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the time with family and eat plenty of good food! Now, on to business. Week 12 was kind to us as we posted a 2-0 week for +2 units. The Dolphins easily covered against the New England Patriots, while Lamar Jackson and the Ravens took care […]


Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Fantasy Football Injury Reports: Updates for Baker Mayfield, Austin Ekeler, David Montgomery, Brian Robinson Jr., Josh Downs, Romeo Doubs, Sam Darnold

After a brutal start to the year, the injuries have finally slowed down. It’s music to fantasy gamers' ears as the fantasy playoffs are quickly approaching. We have mostly minor injuries to report this week. Most of the players listed here returned to the game, and there were only a few injuries that were serious. […]


Ladd McConkey - Fantasy Football Rankings, Rookies, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 12 Lineups Include Tua Tagovailoa, J.K. Dobbins, Ladd McConkey

Week 11 was pretty kind to us in this space. We correctly labeled Justin Herbert as a boom pick. He threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 65 yards on the ground. It culminated with a QB8 finish. We also nailed Kirk Cousins and Tony Pollard as busts. Cousins and the Falcons […]


Lamar Jackson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Free Week 12 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions

Well, Week 11 turned out to be another week where we were just treading water. We nailed our Chargers moneyline pick as they got the job done against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the Cleveland Browns let us down as they were destroyed by the New Orleans Saints. We dropped 1.02 units on that play and […]


Jerry Jeudy - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Jerry Jeudy (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeudy is coming off one of the best games of his entire career. He posted a 6-142-1 line on a team-high 11 targets and currently is the WR5 on the week. JEUDY 89-YARD TD!! 😳 📺: #CLEvsNO on FOX 📱: https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/pPwT9dYWZs — […]


Anthony Richardson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL News

Anthony Richardson (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Richardson was welcomed back as the Colts starting quarterback after Joe Flacco blew his opportunity. Maybe the benching was the motivation Richardson needed because he had his best game of the season Sunday against the Jets. He threw for 272 yards and a […]


Trey Benson (RB, ARZ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Benson started slow, but he has been steadily gaining more playing time in Arizona’s offense. Cardinals RB Trey Benson had 12 touches and a career-high 87 yards in week 10. Showing off that explosive play ability and contact balance that made him the […]


Audric Estime - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire

Audric Estime (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming into Week 11, it looked as though Estime had replaced Javonte Williams as the Broncos’ lead back. As a result, Estime was a hot waiver pickup and gamers were hoping he’d lead the backfield in touches again against a vulnerable Atlanta […]


Darnell Mooney - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Fantasy Football Injuries From Sunday's Games: Darnell Mooney, Alexander Mattison, Tyjae Spears, More

We were again fortunate on the injury front in Week 11 as it was another relatively light week. Who knew such things were allowed in the 2024 fantasy football season? While this week’s injury report is light in terms of volume, there are some potential fantasy impacts. We didn’t come away completely unscathed. So let’s […]


Kirk Cousins - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Booms and Busts - Fantasy Football Starts and Sits for Week 11 Lineups Include Nick Chubb, Justin Herbert, Kirk Cousins

We had some mixed results in this space last week. Aaron Jones and Darnell Mooney were a couple of our boom picks. Both had solid games, but neither one was likely the reason you won your match. Malik Nabers was also disappointing in a great spot against the Carolina Panthers. Hopefully, the Giants move on […]


Tyler Lockett - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Tyler Lockett - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/Deep League Flex Play ANALYSIS: Tyler Lockett hasn’t provided much value for fantasy gamers this year. He’s averaging his lowest receiving yards per game since 2017 and has only scored two touchdowns. It looks like he’s been overtaken by Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Seattle’s WR2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's […]


Jaylen Warren - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Jaylen Warren - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex Play ANALYSIS: Jaylen Warren was a popular breakout pick coming into the season, but things haven’t exactly materialized. He has failed to play more than 51% of offensive snaps in any game and has yet to find the end zone. Warren has missed some time […]


Romeo Doubs - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Romeo Doubs - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/Flex Play ANALYSIS: It’s been an interesting season for Romeo Doubs. He hasn’t been as involved in Green Bay’s offense as he’d like and was ultimately suspended for a game due to his unhappiness with his role. Doubs has had some bright spots and popped for […]


Alexander Mattison - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Alexander Mattison - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Flex Play ANALYSIS: Alexander Mattison has functioned as the Raiders lead back the last handful of games. He’s received plenty of volume, scored four touchdowns, and has been a viable flex play at times this year. Alexander Mattison goes 31 yards for the @Raiders first TD […]


Jerry Jeudy - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Jerry Jeudy - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex Play ANALYSIS: Jerry Jeudy has found more success with Jameis Winston under center for Cleveland compared to Deshaun Watson. However, he has yet to crack 100 yards in a game and has only scored one touchdown. Jerry Jeudy's first TD with the @Browns! 📺: #DALvsCLE […]


J.K. Dobbins - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Free Week 11 NFL Betting Picks and Expert Predictions

Week 10 was not our best, unfortunately. We missed badly with picks on the Colts and Jets. The Colts had chances in their game against the Bills, but Joe Flacco just made too many mistakes. The Jets might have been our worst call of the season as they were throttled by an Arizona Cardinals team […]


Justin Herbert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Justin Herbert - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Back-end QB1 ANALYSIS: From a fantasy football perspective, Herbert has been a little disappointing in 2024. However, this was to be expected with Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman running the Chargers offense. Even still, he has finished as a QB1 in each of the last three […]


Kareem Hunt - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 / RB1 ANALYSIS: Hunt has been money for fantasy owners since taking over for injured starter Isiah Pacheco. Since Week 4, Hunt is the PPR RB12 and has scored five rushing touchdowns. Kareem Hunt adds another TD 💪 📺: #KCvsSF on FOX 📱: https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/xzeSCYKg3l — […]


George Pickens - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL injury News

George Pickens - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 / WR1 ANALYSIS: Pickens has performed much better since Russell Wilson was inserted as Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback. George Pickens........... WHAT A TD!!!! (via @NFL)pic.twitter.com/KuexHvpnJr — Sports Illustrated (@SInow) November 10, 2024 Here are some of Pickens’ advanced metrics (courtesy of Fantasy Points Data Suite) since Wilson […]


Nick Chubb - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Nick Chubb - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Back-end RB2 ANALYSIS: Chubb has struggled to get going since returning from a major knee injury. In three starts this year, he has failed to gain more than 52 rushing yards in any contest, is only averaging 2.7 yards per carry, and his best performance has been […]


David Njoku - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire

David Njoku - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 11 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end TE1 ANALYSIS: Njoku has been heavily targeted following the Browns' trade of wide receiver Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills. In fact, he is averaging over eight targets per game since Week 6 and has posted several top-12 finishes in that span. Jameis to Njoku to […]


Demario Douglas - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

DeMario Douglas (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday. New England has been maddeningly inconsistent with their wide receiver usage. However, the one constant has been Douglas. He looks like the team’s best pass catcher […]


Xavier Legette - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire

Xavier Legette (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants. Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has played much better in his two-game return as the starter. This gives some hope for the Carolina passing game with […]
