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 […]


Darren Waller - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Darren Waller playing in Week 9? Should I pick up and start Foster Moreau for fantasy football?

It seemed like fantasy managers were getting a great discount on a high-volume tight end throughout the fantasy draft season when Darren Waller was being drafted as the TE4. Unfortunately, things have not gone to plan through the first eight weeks of the season. Waller (and the Raiders’ passing offense in general) has struggled to […]


Tua Tagovailoa - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 9)

Week 8 provided a glimmer of hope for offensive football in 2022. Eight teams (a 2022 season high!) scored at least 30 points in Week 8. Collectively, offensive line play didn’t improve immensely, but we also dodged any significant long-term injuries for the first time in a long time. Unfortunately, Week 9 is one of […]


justin fields fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9: Justin Fields, Andy Dalton, Jared Goff, P.J. Walker

It may have taken us eight weeks, but fantasy managers got some explosive production out of the quarterback position. Six quarterbacks (Tua Tagovailoa, Zach Wilson, Kyler Murray, Tom Brady, Jared Goff, and P.J. Walker) finished with over 300-passing yards. Four quarterbacks had three or more passing touchdowns (led by Jalen Hurts' four). Week 9 will […]


Darrell Henderson Jr. - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is Darrell Henderson Healthy or Injured? Should I Start Kyren Williams in Week 8?

The Rams announced this week that running back Cam Akers will once again be unavailable as the team works to find a trade partner for him. That leaves the Rams backfield with Darrell Henderson and Malcolm Brown. The Rams also have rookie Kyren Williams working his way off the injured reserve. The view of the […]


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

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 8)

What more can be said about the continued lack of explosive offense in the NFL during the 2022 season? Scoring (real and fantasy) is down across the board as offenses struggle to find their footing this year. That is also true for offensive line units across the league. Just 10 teams had a combined PFF […]


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

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 8: Sam Ehlinger Daniel Jones, P.J. Walker, Taylor Heinicke

From a quarterback perspective, Week 7 can be defined by the extremes. Two quarterbacks (Joe Burrow and Patrick Mahomes) threw for over 400 passing yards. Four other quarterbacks (Andy Dalton, Trevor Lawrence, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Davis Mills) eclipsed 300 passing yards. However, 13 of the starting quarterbacks in the NFL failed to throw for over […]


taylor heinicke fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor Heinicke was tabbed the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders (over rookie Sam Howell) while Carson Wentz recovers from a thumb injury suffered in Week 6. After a slow start, it looks like Heinicke will keep the job for at least one […]


Sam Ehlinger (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Initially, this post was going to discuss Matt Ryan as a priority add this week because of the matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Then this happened. Per source, Colts benching Matt Ryan, turning to Sam Ehlinger. Sam makes 1st […]


P.J. Walker (QB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: P.J. Walker performed admirably in his start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, completing 72.7% of his passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions. The Panthers are expecting both Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield to practice next week, but Walker’s performance […]


Is Saquon Barkley Playing Today? Fantasy Football Injury Update For Week 7

Fantasy managers have had plenty of reason to celebrate if they took the chance on Saquon Barkley in their fantasy drafts this offseason. In six games this season, the veteran running back has amassed 119 carries for 616 yards and four touchdowns while adding 21 receptions for 155 yards. Those totals make Barkley the RB2 […]


Christian McCaffrey - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

Is Christian McCaffrey Playing in Week 7 After His Trade to the 49ers? Fantasy Football Outlook

The real and fantasy football world got rocked on Thursday night when Christian McCaffrey was traded from the Panthers to the 49ers. While there had been rumors that the running back was on the trade block, it was still surprising to see a team willing to give up the draft capital for him while taking […]


Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 7)

Offensive scoring is down across the league and offensive lines continue to struggle across the board. Just seven teams finished with an average PFF grade above 65.0 across their entire offensive line in Week 6. Unfortunately, injuries continue to stack up along the offensive lines as well. Arizona lost starting left guard Justin Pugh to […]


Matt Ryan - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 7: Jimmy Garoppolo, Matt Ryan, Daniel Jones, Marcus Mariota

Week 6 is just a Monday night football game away from completion and the story is mostly the same: offenses are struggling to put up points in the 2022 season. Just eight teams had over 25 points in Week 6. It's been a similar struggle for fantasy quarterbacks to start the year. Just six players […]


Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones continues to provide a solid fantasy floor despite a complete lack of pass-game weapons in New York. Jones has at least 12.0 fantasy points in all six games this season. However, he’s only scored over 14.0 fantasy points twice this […]


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

Marcus Mariota (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Falcons are content winning through their run game, which has led to modest passing volume in the first six weeks. Marcus Mariota has attempted over 30 passes in just one game this season, and it hasn’t happened since Week 1. However, Mariota […]


Kyler Murray - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, Draft Targets

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps - Fantasy Football Matchups To Target, Avoid (Week 6)

Six weeks are in the books and defenses continue to dominate to start the 2022 season. Nine games went under the opening projected scoring in Week 5. So far, at least eight games have gone under the opening scoring line every week of the season. There were once again some major injuries across offensive lines […]


Geno Smith - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL DFS Picks

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 6: Daniel Jones, Justin Fields, Geno Smith, Kenny Pickett

Week 5 is nearly in the books and NFL offenses continue to struggle. Josh Allen paced all quarterbacks in passing yards (424) and passing touchdowns (four) in a rout of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Outside of that, the quarterback position was disappointing. Only three other quarterbacks (Carson Wentz, Tom Brady, and Kenny Pickett) threw for over […]


justin fields fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bears' passing attack has seen an uptick in the past two weeks, throwing the ball at least 20 times. That’s helped Justin Fields finish the past two weeks with double-digit fantasy points. That’s not great, but it is progress. Fields had a […]


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

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It isn’t always pretty, but the Giants are finding their groove on offense. That has meant that Daniel Jones has been able to produce a consistent floor in fantasy football. Jones has scored at least 12.0 fantasy points in every game this […]


D'Andre Swift - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Is D’Andre Swift Injured or Playing? Should I Start Jamaal Williams in Week 5?

Fantasy managers who used an early-round pick on Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift have undoubtedly been scrambling to fill the void of his absence the last two weeks if they didn’t also draft Jamaal Williams. In the team’s first two games, Swift logged at least a 51% snap share and had 20 carries for […]
