BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: This isn't the first time this season that I've recommended fantasy owners pick Rodions Kurucs up.

Ravens Waive Alex Collins
The Baltimore Ravens have waived running back Alex Collins. Collins was arrested on Friday morning after being involved in a car accident, which appeared to be the last straw for Baltimore.

Dynasty Buy-Low Values for 2019 - Quarterback

Bengals Look To Trade John Ross
After a pair of disappointing seasons to open his career, the Cincinnati Bengals are currently shopping wide receiver John Ross. Ross caught 21 balls for 210 yards and seven touchdowns last season, but he hauled in just 36.2 percent of his total targets.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: With the glut of guards that the Clippers had when this season opened, I don't think anyone expected that a rookie they'd acquire via trade at the deadline would end up playing almost 30 minutes per game for them, but that's just what's […]
