Thomas Davis, IDP - LB, Carolina Panthers

Baller Move: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ Teams IDP Leagues) Analysis: This week I'm recommending Thomas Davis who has had 26 tackles (6.5/game), 10 assists, 1 Sack, & 1 interception the last 4 weeks.  While these numbers don't really jump off the page they are solid. If you are looking for a waiver pickup you could find worse... Read More

New England, DEF

Baller Move: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ Teams) Analysis: I imagine the Houston Texans had a different vision for the 2013 season.  So far they've been downright awful, and they achieved a new low last week by losing to the Jaguars and scoring just 6 total points.  This week New England will be coming to town to...

Cleveland, DEF

Baller Move: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ Teams) Analysis: Last week I did not do well with recommending the Browns, however this week I will repeat and select them again as a waiver option.  Why?  They are playing the Jaguars and that is good news for their defense.  On the season Jacksonville has given up the most...

Detroit, DEF

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams) ANALYSIS:  Detroit will be playing a Pittsburgh Steeler offense which has given up the fifth-most points to opposing defenses.  Pittsburgh has struggled this season with turnovers and has a -11 turnover ratio.  While Pittsburgh has the potential to score points, I like Detroit’s chances to have at...

Green Bay, DEF
