Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 11

Week 10 is in the books and the contenders in the NFL are starting to become more clear.

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 11: Cam Newton, Mac Jones, Justin Fields, Tua Tagovailoa

For the second consecutive week, NFL teams struggled on offense leading to underwhelming fantasy scores. Only five teams (Dallas, New England, Buffalo, Carolina, and Philadelphia) found a way to score at least 30 points in their games. Conversely, five teams failed to score more than 20 points on offense, including an explosive Seattle offense that […]

Monday Night Football Starts and Sits - 49ers vs Rams

Week 9 was disappointing in fantasy but delivered a few highly entertaining games. Monday’s game between Pittsburgh and Chicago looked rough on paper but turned into a highly entertaining game. The Steelers won on a late field goal, but Chicago finally got a stellar performance for Justin Fields. The rookie was able to generate several […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Now that Trevor Siemian is the Saints’ starting quarterback, he should be rostered in 2QB leagues.

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WFT) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: By all accounts, Ryan Fitzpatrick isn’t ready to return from his hip injury, which means the Washington quarterback job still belongs to Taylor Heinicke. The fourth-year quarterback has had an up and down season as a fantasy performer, completing 64% of […]


Trey Lance - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Trey Lance (QB, SF) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jimmy Garoppolo hasn’t been awful from a fantasy perspective the last two weeks, scoring at least 19 points against Chicago and Arizona’s defenses.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Lawrence struggled against Buffalo on Sunday, completing just 15 of 26 passes for 118 yards.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a down week against the Panthers in Week 8 (146 passing yards with one touchdown and two interceptions), Matt Ryan got the passing attack back on track against the New Orleans Saints.

Carson Wentz (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ve highlighted Carson Wentz in this space numerous times this season, yet he remains on 40% of waiver wires in fantasy leagues. The Colts’ quarterback has looked like a completely different player in Indianapolis than he did during his […]


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

Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 10

Week 9 finished as one of the most frustrating fantasy football weeks in a long time thanks to a lack of scoring across the league. Offenses we have come to rely on (Buffalo, Kansas City, Dallas) failed to provide much fantasy value. Teams that we have avoided this year (New York Jets, New England Patriots, […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 10: Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Trevor Lawrence, Trey Lance

One word sums up the NFL games that took place in Week 9: ugly. 17 teams failed to surpass 30 points scored on offense, including 10 teams that failed to reach 20 points. Numerous offenses struggled this week and unfortunately, a good number of them are teams we rely on for fantasy scoring. Cincinnati, Dallas, […]


Diontae Johnson - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Monday Night Football Starts and Sits - Steelers vs Bears

Last week’s Monday night game featured a close contest between the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants. Unfortunately, the game featured two offenses that struggled, leading to an unexciting game between two teams trying to get something going. Patrick Mahomes continued to get momentum in the passing game for Kansas City, but he was […]

Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 9

With the conclusion of Week 8, we are about halfway through the fantasy season. From an offensive line perspective, last week featured some of the best and worst performances we have seen in terms of offensive line play. Six teams finished Week 8 with an average overall blocking grade above a 70 according to PFF. […]


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

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 9: Derek Carr, Carson Wentz, Tua Tagovailoa, Mike White

Week 8 was a breath of fresh air after the onslaught of teams on bye in Week 7. Only two teams were missing from action in Week 8, although they did feature two strong fantasy producers in Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert. Unfortunately, a bigger slate of games didn’t necessarily mean offensive fireworks in Week […]


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

Mike White (QB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Mike White put together a highly efficient NFL debut against a Bengals’ defense that has been improved throughout the course of 2021. White completed 37 of 45 passes (82%) for 405 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions. When all […]


Ben Roethlisberger (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ben Roethlisberger’s best days are clearly behind him, but he can still generate some solid fantasy statistics. Roethlisberger led the Steelers to a big win against Cleveland in Week 8, completing 64% of his passes for 266 yards and a […]


Derek Carr - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 61% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The number of teams on bye the last two weeks likely forced Derek Carr to the waiver wire, and if that’s the case in your league, then you need to grab him immediately. Carr went into the bye week on a hot streak, […]


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

Monday Night Football Starts and Sits: Chiefs vs Giants

After a streak of great Monday night games, last week’s matchup between the Saints and Seahawks was an absolute clunker. Alvin Kamara had a stellar day, carrying the ball 20 times for 51 yards while adding 10 receptions on 11 targets for 128 yards and a touchdown. Jameis Winston failed to throw for 225 yards […]


Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 8

Week 7 was an absolute onslaught of bye weeks, but thankfully it has passed and we once again have 15 games of football. Despite the lack of total games, there were plenty of good and bad performances across the NFL, especially in the trenches. There were some truly excellent performances on the offensive line across […]


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

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 8: Trevor Lawrence, Daniel Jones, Teddy Bridgewater

The onslaught of bye weeks in Week 7 was brutal for fantasy managers, but thankfully several quarterbacks were able to deliver quality performances to help fantasy lineups navigate the loss of top-end production. Joe Burrow paced the quarterback position with an excellent 416-yard, three-touchdown performance against the Baltimore Ravens. Four other quarterbacks (Matt Ryan, Matthew […]


Tyrod Taylor (QB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, Superflex / 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyrod Taylor is on the cusp of coming back from his hamstring injury which gives him fantasy relevance assuming he takes the job back from rookie Davis Mills. Taylor played well his first two weeks as a starter, completing 31 […]


Teddy Bridgewater (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, Superflex / 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Teddy Bridgewater struggled in the first half of Thursday night’s game against Cleveland before putting together a strong second half. Bridgewater finished the day with a pedestrian 13 fantasy points thanks to 187 yards passing and two touchdowns with […]


sam darnold fantasy football rankings NFL DFS lineup picks

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Starting Sam Darnold is tough to stomach given his last three weeks in Carolina. Darnold has completed just 54 of 103 passes (52%) for 495 yards and two touchdowns with five interceptions. Darnold has struggled to replicate his hot start to the […]


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

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, Superflex / 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It isn’t pretty, but Daniel Jones continues to be a viable dual-threat quarterback for fantasy. Jones completed 23 of 33 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown against Carolina in Week 7. He also added 28 rushing yards. […]


Monday Night Football Starts and Sits: Seahawks vs Saints

Week 7 is here with a vengeance. Bye weeks and injuries are ravaging fantasy lineups everywhere, forcing fantasy managers to make uncomfortable decisions between two lackluster options. After a string of awesome Monday night football games, it feels like this one is bound to disappoint while delivering some fantasy headaches. The Seahawks come into this […]


Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 7

Six weeks of the season have officially passed, and bye weeks and injuries continue to ravage fantasy lineups. As we enter the grind of the NFL (and fantasy) season, finding any little edge possible becomes important to building a fantasy roster that has a chance to take home the championship. One of the crucial (yet […]


Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 7

The quarterback position struggled to provide much upside during Week 6, which unfortunately coincided with the first round of bye weeks in 2021. On the positive side, Dak Prescott was able to give us a rare 400-yard passing day in his overtime win against the New England Patriots. Patrick Mahomes (397 yards) just missed the […]


matt ryan fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Matt Ryan (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A Week 6 bye may cause people to forget the strong play of Matt Ryan the last few weeks. From Weeks 3 to 6, Ryan completed 85 of 123 pass attempts (69%) for 868 yards and eight touchdowns with zero interceptions. Ryan […]


Monday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Titans vs Bills

Fans have become spoiled by fantastic Monday night games, punctuated by a massively entertaining game between the Colts and Ravens in Week 5. Indianapolis looked to be in control heading into the fourth quarter, but huge performances by Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, and Marquise Brown brought the game to overtime and ultimately a Ravens’ win. […]

Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 6

The NFL season is flying by and we are starting to get a great feeling for the contenders and pretenders in the 2021 NFL season. More importantly, we are starting to see offensive line units begin to gel and establish themselves across the league. Through five weeks, the Washington Football team has been the best […]
