Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2: Top Free Agent Adds Include Puka Nacua, Kendrick Bourne, Romeo Doubs, Rashid Shaheed, more
Week 1 sure was fun, wasn't it? Specifically, I'm thinking about the Dolphins/Chargers game. 215 receiving yards from Tyreek Hill??? Wild stuff. Now, you can't add Hill off the waiver wire since he's 100% rostered, but there are some wideouts who you can add this week. Let's talk about some of those options. Below, you'll find […]

Allen Robinson II (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I really didn't think I'd be writing about Allen Robinson, but here we are. Diontae Johnson exited in the third quarter with a hamstring injury and didn't return. If his availability is in question going forward, Robinson has intrigue as someone you can plug […]

Robert Woods (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While I'm high on Nico Collins, I'm not nearly as high on his Houston Texans teammate, Robert Woods, whose 10 targets were just one fewer than Collins. Woods finished with six catches for 57 yards in Week 1 but he doesn't […]

Tutu Atwell (WR, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Puka Nacua was the main beneficiary of Cooper Kupp being out, but Tutu Atwell had a big game as well. While his eight targets were seven fewer than Nacua, the two finished with the same amount of yards (119), with Atwell's […]

Romeo Doubs (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Christian Watson out, Romeo Doubs was in a good spot here. The result was... confusing. On the bright side, Doubs caught two of quarterback Jordan Love's three touchdown passes. The bad news is that he only finished with 26 receiving yards, catching four […]

Rashid Shaheed (WR, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not sure the Saints and quarterback Derek Carr can sustain three fantasy-relevant wide receivers, but Rashid Shaheed's Week 1 performance and the injury concerns that always accompany Michael Thomas mean that he should be on your radar. Shaheed was targeted six times in Week […]

Jakobi Meyers (WR, LV) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is one of the toughest adds to write about. Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was really, really good in Week 1. The former Patriot finished with nine receptions for 81 yards and a pair of touchdowns. With Davante Adams drawing coverage across the […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Darnell Mooney is one of those boring plays that you add because you want someone with a decent floor. He tied for the Bears' lead in targets this week but only had seven of them, with Roschon Johnson and Cole Kmet equaling […]

Kendrick Bourne (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Maybe I'm too high on Kendrick Bourne here. But if I'm in a league with 14 or 16 teams and I need to grab a wide receiver off the wire, I want to go with someone with a high ceiling, even if […]

Zay Jones (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Calvin Ridley went OFF in his Jaguars debut, catching eight passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. Zay Jones still carved out a pretty good role of his own, as he brought in five of his seven targets for 55 yards and […]

Nico Collins (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPRLeagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into this week, one of the big questions I had was how much the Texans would pass the ball with rookie C.J. Stroud at quarterback. Well, Stroud threw 44 passes in Week 1, so I think we have our answer. Houston will play […]

Should I Start The Ravens DST In Week 1? Fantasy Football Defenses
The DST position is one of the trickier positions to figure out in fantasy football, because there's always a lot of uncertainty and randomness with team defense. It's hard to predict turnovers, for example, which play a major role in DST scoring. This week, the Baltimore Ravens DST is a popular fantasy option as they […]
