Week 11 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Playoffs hopes run high. We are closing in on the end of the fantasy football regular season which mean every move becomes more critical. If you are closing in on securing a playoff spot, then you can’t afford to make a bad move on the waiver wire. On the opposite side of that, maybe you […]

Donte Moncrief (WR, JAC) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jaguars wide receivers have been a pain all year for fantasy owners. Any one of them could have a big week at any given time. I’ve probably covered all of them this year already, but why not give it one more shot? Donte […]

Josh Doctson (WR, WSH) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have already written far too much about Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson this season and I’m only 15 words into this part of the article. Just like receivers like Brandon LaFell, though, injuries and other circumstances have provided an opportunity to […]

Brandon LaFell (WR, OAK) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Amari Cooper is gone. Martvis Bryant appears like he could miss some time with a PCL injury. Jordy Nelson has been ineffective all season outside of one game. The Raiders are a disaster and their defense likely won’t be stopping many opponents anytime soon. Oakland Raiders wide […]

John Ross (WR, CIN) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bengals will be missing A.J. Green for a couple of games at the least, but based on reports Sunday morning, it could be until December before we see Green back on the football field. During that time, someone will need to be the WR2 […]

Willie Snead (WR, BAL) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Just a weekly reminder that Baltimore Ravens wide receiverWillie Snead is only 28% owned (less than last week) with matchups against the Raiders, Falcons, Chiefs and Buccaneers after the bye. News of a Joe Flacco injury could also benefit Snead. Rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson may not […]

Jordan Mathews (WR, PHI) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: On a team that already has pass-catching options Zach Ertz, Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor plus the new addition of Golden Tate, is Jordan Mathews a waiver wire option heading into Week 11? With seven catches and 133 yards over his last two games, Mathews is finally showing flashes […]

Anthony Miller (WR, CHI) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When I wrote this article a week ago, Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller was only 11% owned. For those one percent that picked up and hopefully played Miller this week, congrats! On RotoBaller Game Day I said I would rather have Miller […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 10 Preview

After a week off, it’s time to get back to it. Week 9 offered some underwhelming performances from players we may have been counting on to for a victory. Are those performances going to be the norm moving forward or should we expect better weeks ahead? These key questions need to be answered prior to […]

John Ross (WR, CIN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We don’t know how long it will be, but A.J. Green is set to miss “some time” based on reports coming out this weekend concerning his injured toe. Green and Tyler Boyd were in the midst of efficient seasons and with Green being out, Boyd will step […]

Maurice Harris (WR, WSH) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Since the Washington Redskins bye-week, wide receiver Maurice Harris has started to see some work due to injuries surrounding the wide receivers each week. Even though he hasn’t had enough value each week to even be considered a starter, this week was much […]

Quincy Enunwa (WR, NYJ) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa was one of the hot names to begin the season. Enunwa averaged 13.45 PPR points during the first four weeks of the season and the volume seemed to be coming from Sam Darnold. After an injury to Enunwa, […]

Anthony Miller (WR, CHI) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bears offense continues to roll and after a drumming of the Buffalo Bills, the Bears will head to Detroit for a Week 10 matchup. This waiver claim could rely on the health of Allen Robinson, but even if Robinson returns, wide receiver Anthony […]

Week 10 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Not much time is left in the fantasy football season, so decisions are critical right now. With the waiver wire so thin, a week of injuries can leave you scrambling last minute. Stefon Diggs was a surprise scratch this week and if you didn’t work the waiver wire prior to his scratch, then you may […]

T.J. Jones (WR, DET) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Golden Tate era is over in Detroit and it appears wide receiver T.J. Jones will be taking over his spot in the slot for the time being. More than likely Jones won’t have much value this season with Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones as the top options. If […]

Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have included Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries a couple of times in this section of the waiver wire article and it has always been a risky option. Nothing is different this week as we still don’t know what to expect […]

Martavis Bryant (WR, OAK) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Raiders are bad. Really, really bad. So bad that most of Twitter was speculating whether the Alabama Crimson Tide could beat the Raiders if they were to play this season. Now while that seems outlandish to even think, it just goes to […]

Devante Parker (WR, MIA) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Since the Dolphins are dealing with injuries to Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson, wide receiver Devante Parker exploded for six receptions on nine targets and 134 yards. There was one fluky play where Jakeem Grant came down with the ball, but it popped loose and flew into Parker’s arms. […]

Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another name that has made its way back to the list is Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee who was a hot add after his 11-reception performance in Week 4 against the Colts. Coutee hasn’t come close to that production since and has […]

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley has been pretty good this season. He hasn’t been a huge fantasy asset and has had some up and down performances (much like the Cowboys offense as a whole) but he now has a new teammate that […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The debate for the WR2 in Green Bay all off-season was between Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison, but a dark horse candidate may have emerged. After injuries to Cobb and Allison, Marquez Valdes-Scantling has stepped up the past three games. Since Week 5, Valdes-Scantling has 12 catches […]

Willie Snead (WR, BAL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead continues to see targets for the Ravens and in PPR leagues, this guy is a must add for me this week. He is still only owned in 33% of leagues because Michael Crabtree and John Brown are the flashier players. He has […]

David Moore (WR, SEA) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore has our attention. We are a little late to the party, but better late than never. We had our concerns that it was a fluke to start and then Doug Baldwin returned, so he couldn’t keep it up, right? Well, […]

D.J. Moore (WR, CAR) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: That fact that Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is still 15% owned is slightly shocking to me. Moore hasn’t done anything impressive this season, but it appears some owners are still holding out hope that the rookie wide receiver breaks out. Moore […]

Josh Doctson (WR, WSH) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington Redskinds wide receiver Josh Doctson doesn’t make this list based on his performance but more along the lines of injuries depleting the pass catching options in Washington. Chris Thompson finally made it back in Week 9 and Paul Richardson was also able to suit up, but Jamison Crowder is […]

Week 9 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Six teams will be on the bye in Week 9. Six teams and a lot of receiver option that will not be around for your starting lineup. So, this article will be a little different than past weeks because we need to hit as many options as possible. It’s all hands-on-deck this week on the […]

Courtland Sutton (WR, DEN) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you wanting to see the Demaryius Thomas trade rumors go away, you had your day made when Thomas was traded to the Texans. With this trade, Courtland Sutton becomes the WR2 in Denver and, even though Thomas hasn’t been great as the WR2 […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 8 Preview

Another week and more injuries at running back. For this week’s article, I’m going to focus on backfields that have had injuries or guys currently banged up and what value can be found in their replacements. Will they just be a bye-week fill in or will some of these newly crowned starters be viable starters […]

Week 8 Wide Receivers - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We’re digging deep now. Waivers are as bare as they have been all season. We aren’t looking for difference makers anymore, we are looking for role players. The waiver wire is where you find the weekly play that could offer upside while you fight through bye-weeks or injuries. If we can foreshadow and find a […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 7 Preview

Week 7 is a big bye week for fantasy owners and many are scrambling this week to find replacement players. If you have been working the waiver wire all year, you may already be in a good position to succeed. If not, we need to look at some weekly trends to determine who you should […]
