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, […]

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 […]


Ryan Tannehill (QB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

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

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 […]


justin fields fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Is Trevor Siemian or Justin Fields the Bears' Starting QB in Fantasy Football Week 13?

From Weeks 6 through 11, Justin Fields rode his unique dual-threat ability to the overall QB1 position in fantasy football. Fields averaged a league-best 29.42 points by completing 62% of his passes for 963 yards and 10 touchdowns while adding 640 rushing yards and six scores. Unfortunately, Fields suffered a separated shoulder against the Falcons […]


Zonovan Knight - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Is Michael Carter Playing in Week 13? Should I Pick Up and Start Zonovan "Bam" Knight For Fantasy Football?

The Jets have been trying to find a consistent producer in their backfield ever since rookie running back Breece Hall tore his ACL in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos. That’s led to a combination of Michael Carter, James Robinson, Ty Johnson, and Zonovan Knight taking turns carrying the ball. Last week, the team opted […]


Trevor Lawrence - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 13: Trevor Lawrence, Deshaun Watson, Kenny Pickett

Week 12 provided fantasy managers with a break from bye weeks. However, they’ll be back again in Weeks 13 and 14, just in time for teams making a fantasy playoff push. Five quarterbacks (Mac Jones, Geno Smith, Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and Mike White) broke the 300-yard passing threshold in Week 11. Two others (Tua […]


Aaron Jones - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 13)

Football fans were not only blessed with the customary three games on Thanksgiving Thursday but also got a one-week reprieve from bye weeks. Unfortunately, there are still eight teams left who haven't had a bye, including two this week (Arizona and Carolina). Unfortunately, a full slate of games opened us up to the likelihood of […]


Kenny Pickett (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This article will come out before tonight’s game against the Colts, but only an injury would make Pickett a questionable add considering his matchups in Weeks 13 (Atlanta) and 14 (Baltimore). Pickett has scored at least 16.0 fantasy points in each of […]


Deshaun Watson (QB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is time. Deshaun Watson’s suspension will be coming to an end in Week 13 as he travels to Houston to face his former team. Only time will tell how fast Watson can knock off the rust he’s accrued from essentially a […]


Trevor Lawrence - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Trevor Lawrence (QB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 61% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Lawrence is finding his rhythm in a new offense. Lawrence put together a second consecutive game (the Jaguars had a bye in Week 11) with over 20.0 fantasy points. Lawrence tied his season-high in touchdown passes (3) and had a season-high […]


Mike White - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Should I Add Mike White For Fantasy Football Week 12? Waiver Wire Outlook

This has been a rough year in fantasy football for the quarterback position. Unfortunately, it's been equally as challenging for some NFL teams. One such team is the New York Jets. The Jets are sitting at 6-4 and in the running for a playoff spot, but second-year quarterback Zach Wilson has struggled mightily despite a […]


Raheem Mostert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 12)

Week 12 is officially here which means we get three different Thursday games. Additionally, fantasy football fans should rejoice at the first week without byes in quite some time. That will be fleeting once again starting in Week 13, but at least we have something to celebrate. Offensive football continues to struggle in 2022, especially […]


taylor heinicke fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor Heinicke has been named the starter for the Washington Commanders going forward and finds himself with a fantastic matchup in Week 12. Things haven’t been great for Heinicke in the last two games. The signal-caller has completed just 32 of 56 […]


Trevor Lawrence - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Trevor Lawrence (QB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Lawrence went into the bye week on a high note after completing 54 of 71 passes for 494 yards and three touchdowns in Weeks 9 and 10. Lawrence scored over 15.0 fantasy points in each game, including a 20.9-point effort against […]


Trevor Lawrence - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 12: Trevor Lawrence, Taylor Heinicke, Ryan Tannehill

There were several high-scoring teams in Week 11, especially a 67-point combined shootout between the Steelers and Bengals. Five total teams scored at least 30 points, keeping with the positive trend we’ve seen in recent weeks. Five quarterbacks surpassed the 300-yard passing threshold this week, but only three quarterbacks (Joe Burrow, Jacoby Brissett, and Andy […]


Cordarrelle Patterson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 11)

Week 10 is in the books and the bye weeks keep on coming. Fantasy managers have been forced to not only navigate a consistent stream of bye weeks, but also significant injuries amongst different skill players. In general, offenses continue to struggle throughout the 2022 NFL season. We did get seven 30-point performances in the […]


Marcus Mariota - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 11: Daniel Jones, Marcus Mariota, Davis Mills

We had a slight scoring regression in Week 10 of the NFL season. Six teams scored at least 30 points, but four of those six teams played against each other. That’s great for entertaining football but didn’t help fantasy managers hoping for offensive output at the quarterback position.  Thankfully, we did have some notable quarterback […]


Jameis Winston

Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton continues to struggle as the signal caller for the Saints, which is leading to murmurs of a quarterback switch. Jameis Winston isn’t much better at taking care of the ball, but he does offer more downfield passing and the potential […]


Davis Mills (QB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Davis Mills has disappointed fantasy managers after a solid rookie year, throwing for 11 touchdowns and nine interceptions during a rocky sophomore season. His inconsistency as an NFL quarterback has translated into inconsistency as a fantasy asset as well. That being said, […]


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

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 11

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 64% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones got right back on track following the Giants’ bye week, throwing for 197 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions against the Houston Texans. Jones had his third game of the season with at least 20.0 fantasy points despite a complete […]


Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 10)

Navigating the bye weeks was probably a nightmare for fantasy managers. Thankfully, we finally got some explosive offensive performances from the teams that were playing. However, offensive line play continued to be inconsistent despite the uptick in offensive production. Thankfully, there weren’t many significant injuries across offensive line units in the NFL in Week 9. […]


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

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 10: Daniel Jones, Jimmy Garoppolo, Baker Mayfield

Football fans got spoiled for the second week in a row thanks to a handful of high-scoring contests. Unfortunately, fantasy managers didn’t get equally high scoring out of their fantasy quarterbacks on an extremely bye-heavy week. Tua Tagovailoa was the only quarterback in the NFL to throw for over 300 yards in Week 9. Both […]


Jimmy Garoppolo fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Jimmy Garoppolo (QB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jimmy Garoppolo went into the 49ers' bye week on a roll, scoring at least 15.0 fantasy points in five straight games starting in Week 4. During that stretch, the veteran signal-caller had two games with over 275 passing yards and four games […]


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

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+  Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones had an unproductive game the week before New York’s bye (9.04 fantasy points), so it’s possible he found his way to the waiver wire as fantasy managers searched for a streaming option. If he’s available, Jones is a priority waiver […]


Baker Mayfield - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, NFL Injury News

Baker Mayfield (QB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baker Mayfield is far from a priority add-on waivers, but he may have value once again after looking good in mop-up duty after the Bengals raced out to a giant lead in Week 9. At the very least, he may have forced […]


Deshaun Watson (QB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There isn’t much to say about Deshaun Watson except for the fact that his suspension ends after the Browns’ next three games. He’s a great target for fantasy managers whose quarterbacks have already had their bye week. The veteran quarterback will likely have […]


Should I pick up Phillip Dorsett after his Week 9 performance? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

The 2022 NFL season had one of the most notable trade deadlines of recent memory, with plenty of players changing locations to finish the season. One of the most expected trades never materialized though, with the Houston Texans Brandin Cooks remaining with the team. Cooks, the veteran receiver, was unpleased, leading to him missing Houston’s […]
