Welcome to Week 12 everyone. How hungry are you to earn a berth in your fantasy league's postseason tournament? While the waiver wire has thinned considerably since earlier in the year, there may still be a few goodies out there to catapult you over the hump on Thanksgiving week of the NFL. Let’s look around the […]

C.J. Fiedorowicz (TE, HOU) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Fiedorowicz returned for the first time in Week 11 since suffering a concussion in the season opener against the Jaguars. While the 6-foot-5, 265-pound tight end caught all four of his targets for 46 yards in Game 1, he disappointed with two catches […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAC) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: The promising rookie has yet to make his NFL debut after undergoing core muscle surgery just after the preseason and being placed on Injured Reserve. His activation this week couldn't come at a better time, as Allen Hurns (ankle) and Arrelious Benn (knee) are […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, TB) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team / 2QB leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: The Amish Rifle put up a dud in his first start of the season in place of the injured Jameis Winston (shoulder) against his old Jets team in Week 10, completing only 17 of his 34 attempts for 187 yards, one TD […]

Case Keenum (QB, MIN) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team / 2QB leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Who would have thought that Keenum would be leading Minnesota to a 7-2 record entering Week 11? While he hasn't been great, he's been serviceable filling in for Sam Bradford (knee) and Teddy Bridgewater (knee), with a 64.9 completion percentage, 11 touchdowns […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, CHI) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: In his first game with Chicago in Week 11 after being traded over from the Chargers, Inman more than doubled his reception total on the season with a team-high six catches for 88 yards in the loss to Green Bay. The Bears are […]

Charles Clay (TE, BUF) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Clay returned to Buffalo in Week 10 for the first time since suffering a knee injury Oct. 8 against the Bengals and caught only two passes on three targets for 13 yards. It was his worst showing of the year, but understandable given his […]

Corey Coleman (WR, CLE) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Coleman is "all systems go" to come off Injured Reserve and play in Week 11 against the Jaguars after breaking his hand Sept. 17 against the Ravens. The former first-rounder hasn't been able to stay healthy in his NFL career yet, as he also […]

Danny Woodhead (RB, BAL) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in all PPR leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: Up to this point in the season, the oft-injured Woodhead has played in only three games the last two seasons, but he could come off Injured Reserve later this week and return to face the Green Bay Packers. Most of his previous owners likely […]

FAAB Auction Waiver Wire Bidding - Week 11 Pickups

Welcome to Week 11 everyone. As we move closer to the fantasy playoffs, fantasy owners need to prepare for the final push and decide their strategy going into the stretch run. With Devonta Freeman (concussion) looking unlikely to play and Ezekiel Elliott's suspension officially underway, the biggest names to fill-in are running backs Tevin Coleman and Alfred […]

FAAB Auction Waiver Wire Bidding - Week 10 Pickups

Welcome to Week 10 everyone. As we move closer to the fantasy playoffs, fantasy owners need to prepare for the final push and decide their strategy going into the stretch run. Those in FAAB leagues also need to be mindful about both their budget and other owners, as players may be able to be added […]

Ted Ginn (WR, NO) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Known mainly as an inconsistent deep threat with poor hands, Ginn is turning that narrative around in 2017 with the Saints. He had his best game of the season in Week 7, catching all seven of his season-high seven targets for 141 yards. […]

Josh McCown (QB, NYJ) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Although he tossed a costly late-game interception in the Week 7 loss to Miami, McCown also went 17-for-27 for 209 yards, three passing touchdowns and one rushing score. The previous week he went for a season-high 354 yards and completed 31 passes against the Patriots. […]

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: If Andrew Luck (shoulder) had been playing this year, Doyle would surely be owned in well over 50 percent of leagues. But with Jacoby Brissett under center, this offense as a whole has been severely downgraded. As is the case with many inexperienced quarterbacks […]

DeAndre Washington (RB, OAK) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Marshawn Lynch's one-game suspension for entering the field and contacting an official during a scrum last Thursday was upheld, meaning Washington and Jalen Richard will split the backfield workload in Week 8 against the Bills. After Lynch was ejected last week, Washington received a season-high nine […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 8 Waiver Wire Targets

Welcome to Week 8 everyone. Somehow, we're halfway through the 2017 fantasy season. Can you believe it? With a whopping six teams on bye this week -- Packers, Titans, Rams, Giants, Cardinals and Jaguars -- there is more reason than ever to be active on the waiver wire. There will probably be someone that can […]

FAAB Auction Bidding - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

Welcome to Week 7 everyone. With two more teams on bye (Lions, Texans) as we approach the midway point of the 2017 season, there are still players that can make a difference for your fantasy squads down the stretch as you attempt to make a playoff run. Below are my recommended FAAB waiver wire bids […]

Robby Anderson (WR, NYJ) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Anderson was supposed to be the team's clearcut No. 1 receiver this year, but after two dud performances to begin the year, most fantasy owners moved on. Aside from a dud in Cleveland two weeks ago, though, Anderson has been playing better, including a […]

Josh Doctson (WR, WAS) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Based on Doctson's statistics alone, it's tough to make a case for him. The second-year wideout has only four receptions on nine targets for 90 yards, but he has scored two touchdowns in the last three weeks. Aside from his two touchdowns this year […]

Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Despite being the fourth target in the receiving game in Tampa, Humphries has managed exactly six catches in three of five contests this year. That includes exactly seven targets in two of the last three weeks, and he's been pretty darn efficient, too, with […]

Kenny Stills (WR, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Stills had his most efficient game of the 2017 season in the Week 6 surprise win over the Falcons on the road, catching all four of his targets for 49 yards and a score. It comes as no surprise that he accomplished that with […]

Corey Davis (WR, TEN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: The fifth overall pick in the draft, Davis had high hopes going into his rookie season, but a hamstring injury suffered in Week 2 has kept him out since. His injury was especially unfortunate after his fine showing in Week 1 (six catches on […]

John Brown (WR, ARI) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: After a highly disappointing 2016 season in which Brown dealt with injuries related to his sickle-cell trait, he entered the 2017 season as a popular breakout candidate. However, he disappointed in the season opener with just four catches (10 targets) for 32 yards, and […]

George Kittle (TE, SF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: New head coach Kyle Shanahan and the Niners fell in love with the rookie Kittle in training camp and the preseason -- it prompted them to trade Vance McDonald to Pittsburgh -- but that hadn't really shown through the first four weeks. In Week […]

Zach Miller (TE, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Although it should've been intercepted, Miller caught Mitch Trubisky's first career touchdown pass in the Monday night loss to the Vikings. Remember that for future trivia questions. The switch to the rookie QB in Chicago should be good news for Miller, as young signal […]

Nick O'Leary (TE, BUF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: Buffalo is desperate for playmakers not named LeSean McCoy with Jordan Matthews (thumb) out a month and Charles Clay (knee) out at least multiple weeks and possibly the rest of the year after having his knee scoped. It was so bad in Week 5 […]

Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 44% of leagues ANALYSIS: Many people may have forgotten about Hooper with Atlanta coming off their Week 5 bye. Here's a refresher: He caught a season-high five passes for 50 yards on seven targets in the Week 4 loss to Buffalo. Those numbers did come with Julio Jones […]

Ricardo Louis (WR, CLE) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's really hard to trust anyone on the Browns, but you can't argue with Louis' 17 targets and 10 catches for 135 yards the past two weeks. Meanwhile, Kenny Britt is injured and falling quickly out of favor with the coaching staff, so […]

Brandon Tate (WR, BUF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Bills are in dire straights like the Giants when it comes to their pass-catching options with Jordan Matthews (thumb) out a month and tight end Charles Clay (knee) out at least multiple weeks. Rookie Zay Jones hasn't stepped up at all (two […]

Nelson Agholor (WR, PHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Touted by the coaching staff during training camp and the preseason, Agholor was a popular late-round sleeper pick in many drafts. It payed off immediately after his six-catch, 86-yard, one-TD performance in Week 1, but the luster wore off quickly, as he had […]
