Keaontay Ingram - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is James Conner Playing in Week 18? Should I Pick Up Keaontay Ingram or Corey Clement for Fantasy Football?

Many fantasy football championships ended in confusion after the Bills/Bengals game on Monday night was canceled due to Damar Hamlin’s awful health event. Fantasy leagues that utilize a Week 18 championship will avoid that headache and have a chance to finish the season on a less controversial note. Unfortunately, a Week 18 championship presents different […]


Should I Start the Carolina Panthers DST In Week 18? Fantasy Football Team Defenses

Many fantasy football championships ended in confusion after the Bills/Bengals game on Monday night was canceled due to Damar Hamlin’s awful health event. Fantasy leagues that utilize a Week 18 championship will avoid that headache and have a chance to finish the season on a less controversial note. At this point, most fantasy lineups have […]


Jarrett Stidham (QB, LV) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Raiders were mocked endlessly when they announced ahead of their Week 17 game that they would be benching Derek Carr in favor of Jarrett Stidham to end the 2022 season. For at least one week, Stidham proved the critics wrong. The veteran […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 65% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Deshaun Watson has started knocking off the rust and is showing occasional flashes of the quarterback we saw with the Houston Texans.

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 18: Brock Purdy, Deshaun Watson, Jarrett Stidham

For many, Week 17 is the final week of the fantasy season. However, there are plenty of leagues across the world that play in Week 18. If you are in one of those leagues, then this article is for you. The fantasy championships are the time to embrace risk and shoot for scoring upside. There […]


Should I Start the Detroit Lions DST In Week 17? Fantasy Football Team Defenses

For many, Week 17 signals the end of the fantasy football season. After weeks of navigating bye weeks and injuries, slow stretches from players, and managing the waiver wire, we have finally made it to the championship game.

For many, Week 17 signals the end of the fantasy season. The fantasy managers who are reading this likely have a big matchup on the horizon as they attempt to secure an elusive fantasy championship. Week 16 was a rough one for offensive lines across the league, specifically at the right tackle position. The Bengals […]


Carson Wentz - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 17: Daniel Jones, Brock Purdy, Gardner Minshew, Sam Darnold

Awful weather conditions stifled plenty of offenses throughout the league in Week 16, leading to subdued fantasy totals across the board. Unlucky fantasy managers likely saw some players they’ve depended upon all season struggling to put up their customary totals in subzero temperatures. There were still some impressive performances throughout the NFL. Six different quarterbacks […]


Should I Start the Eagles DST in Week 16? Fantasy Football Team Defenses

In terms of pure talent, few defenses can matchup up with the Philadelphia Eagles depth chart. The Eagles boast one of the best defensive lines in football and a secondary with several big names. However, when it comes to fantasy, the most talented defenses don’t necessarily make the best plays. Fantasy managers need to be […]


Should I Start the Raiders DST in Week 16? Fantasy Football Team Defenses

The Raiders' defense has struggled with consistency throughout the entire 2022 season. As a team, they’ve generated just 25.0 sacks, four interceptions, and seven fumble recoveries. As a positive, they’ve scored three D/ST touchdowns on the year. In terms of pure fantasy scoring, they currently rank as the 30th-scoring D/ST by averaging 5.1 fantasy points […]


Tyler Huntley - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is Lamar Jackson playing in Week 15? Should I pick up and start Tyler Huntley For Fantasy Football?

Week 15 has arrived and that means most fantasy leagues are in the playoff swing. Now is the time to maximize lineups to try to gain that elusive fantasy championship. Unfortunately, fantasy managers who rostered Lamar Jackson were thrown a curveball when he suffered a knee injury in Week 13. While the injury wasn’t season-ending, […]


Patrick Mahomes - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 16)

If you’re reading this, congratulations on winning your first fantasy playoff game (or the bye week you secured). The fantasy playoffs are heating up and fantasy managers are needing to pull out all the stops to continue their ascent to the fantasy championships. There were some fairly significant offensive line injuries in Week 15. Buffalo’s […]


Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 16: Daniel Jones, Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold

All of the fantasy quarterbacks decided to wait until the playoffs began before they started putting up big numbers. Week 15 had some of the wildest games and biggest performances, especially out of the quarterback position. Kirk Cousins paced all passers with 426 yards (most of which came in the second half and overtime). Seven […]


Daniel Jones - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones gets to be the beneficiary of Week 16’s offensive game against the Minnesota Vikings secondary. Minnesota had allowed over 300 passing yards in five straight games before Week 15’s wild victory over the Indianapolis Colts. If Indianapolis hadn’t scored multiple […]


Sam Darnold - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sam Darnold is performing admirably since being named the team’s starting quarterback again in Week 12. The Panthers are utilizing a run-first offense with the veteran quarterback at the helm, but despite that, Darnold has thrown for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and zero […]


Davis Mills (QB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Davis Mills hasn’t been able to build upon the promise he showed throughout his rookie season both as an NFL quarterback and a fantasy asset. Mills has just 11 touchdowns to 12 interceptions on the year and was benched for a stretch in […]


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

Is Russell Wilson Playing in Week 15? Should I Pickup and Start Brett Rypien for Fantasy Football?

We saw flashes of the offense that Denver fans envisioned when the team traded for Russell Wilson during the 2022 offseason in Week 14’s matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.  The veteran quarterback was having his best game of the season, completing 63.8% of his passes for 247 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. […]


J.K. Dobbins - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Sleepers

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 15)

Week 15 signals both the end of bye weeks, and for many, the start of the fantasy playoffs. Fantasy managers who were able to secure a spot for the playoffs should be gearing up to pull out all of the stops in their quest for a championship. Week 14 was a rough one for offensive […]


Desmond Ridder (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Falcons didn’t have a game in Week 14, but they were still able to stay relevant in the news when they announced that rookie Desmond Ridder would be taking over the starting quarterback job for the remainder of the season. Ridder flashed accuracy […]


Brock Purdy - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 15: Ryan Tannehill, Daniel Jones, Desmond Ridder

We did it. Not only does the end of Week 14 signify the end of bye weeks in the 2022 NFL season, but for many leagues, it signals the beginning of the fantasy playoffs. We had some strong quarterback performances in Week 14. Kirk Cousins paced passing, throwing for 425 yards in a losing effort […]


Brock Purdy - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Brock Purdy (QB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Some optimists may have expected Brock Purdy to be able to operate the 49ers' quarterback-friendly offensive system and continue to lead them to the playoffs. However, most were probably skeptical of his ability to be fantasy-relevant heading into the 2022 playoffs. However, we […]


Ryan Tannehill - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Ryan Tannehill (QB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 15

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill continues to be a solid streaming option regardless of the weapons around him in the passing attack. Tannehill posted an 18.76-point game in a loss to the Jaguars, throwing for 254 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. His top […]

Tyler Huntley (QB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Huntley was forced into action after Lamar Jackson suffered a knee injury against the Denver Broncos.

Kenny Pickett - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Kenny Pickett (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenny Pickett is starting to find his legs at the NFL level, putting together four straight games with at least 12.0 fantasy points. Pickett’s lack of general production as a quarterback doesn’t make him a great option, but he’s taken care of the […]


Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 14: Jared Goff, Ryan Tannehill, Brock Purdy

There were some strong performances in Week 13 at the quarterback position. Unfortunately, there were also some injuries (Jimmy Garoppolo, Lamar Jackson, and potentially Tua Tagovailoa). That, combined with six teams on bye next week, could make for some desperate quarterback situations in fantasy. Five different quarterbacks (Jalen Hurts, Mike White, Geno Smith, Jared Goff, […]


Joe Burrow - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News - icon rotoballer

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 14)

Week 14 is here and many fantasy leagues are on the cusp of the playoffs. Whether you’re already in, working for a playoff spot, or out of contention, there are only a few opportunities left to play this game we love. Unfortunately, this week also happens to have six teams on bye. It was a […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tannehill didn’t produce huge passing numbers against the Eagles (141 yards, one touchdown), but he still found his way to double-digit fantasy points once again. Tannehill now has at least 12.0 fantasy points in each of the four games since his return […]

Mac Jones (QB, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Patriots' offensive playcalling is a mess, but Mac Jones has put together some solid performances despite it. Jones has gone four games without an interception and has hit double-digit fantasy points in four of his last five games. The second-year quarterback […]


Brock Purdy (QB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a season-ending foot injury early against the Miami Dolphins. Despite rumors, there is no indication that Trey Lance is even close to making a miraculous return from his early season injury. That means that unless the 49ers prioritize a waiver […]
