Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, TB) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You shouldn't need to go this deep into the waiver wire to find a running back but if for some reason you do, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Jacquizz Rodgers is at least getting touches. He carried five times for 31 yards and... Read More

Gerald Everett (TE, LAR) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In two games since Cooper Kupp's season-ending injury, Gerald Everett has three touchdowns. Coincidence? Hardly. Everett hasn't seen more than five targets or three receptions in a game all season, and that likely won't change. If you're looking for a cheap score, Everett presents... Read More

Dan Arnold (TE, NO) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It seems like the Saints are now just pulling guys off the street, suiting them up, and letting them score. Dan Arnold is a WR/TE hybrid that is getting more attention from Drew Brees than we ever thought, mainly because we never once thought about... Read More

Derek Carr (QB, WSH) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB  Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Considering Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had a road game in Baltimore with a depleted receiving corps, he didn't do too badly. 197 yards and one TD won't get the job done in fantasy, but a matchup with the Chiefs might actually work in... Read More

Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB  Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The ceiling seems to get lower for Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum each week. The Broncos as a whole may not be missing Demaryius Thomas too much, but there isn't a wealth of quality options for him in the receiving corps. Keenum retains some level of... Read More

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB  Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We saw more of early-season Eli Manning in Week 12, as he threw for a good amount of yardage (297) but only found the end zone once. The Eagles don't quite qualify as a tough defense anymore so we can only excuse him so... Read More

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines back may be back on the map if Marlon Mack misses time with a concussion suffered in Week 12. Hines wasn't spectacular in relief, tallying 28 yards on nine carries and 22 yards on two receptions. As the passing-down... Read More

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 12 Fantasy Football Picks

Be honest, what's better: Thanksgiving dinner on the night itself or enjoying the leftovers the next day? The former might seem like the obvious answer but think about it - how much do you really get to enjoy the meal itself when you're obligated to sample Aunt Edna's brussel sprouts or your cousin's gluten-free stuffing that...

Zay Jones (WR, BUF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: How is Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones not owned in more leagues.... is something nobody has said for the past two years. But now it might be time to consider the Barkley-Jones connection (not to be confused with Montana-Rice) is real. Matt... Read More

John Ross (WR, CIN) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross scored his fourth touchdown of the year, somehow operating as a red zone target again rather than a field stretcher. We still haven't seen the explosive speed at work, as Ross is averaging 13 yards per reception... Read More

Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Whoever is at quarterback for the Bucs shouldn't change the fact that they will continue to fire away to multiple receivers. Wide receiver Adam Humphries has seen fewer targets the last couple of weeks but managed to find the end zone and... Read More

D'Onta Foreman (RB, HOU) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Here's another reminder that Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman return is imminent. He officially practiced last Wednesday, opening up the 21-day window for him to be activated. You can never have too many running backs, especially one from a powerhouse college program who... Read More

Rex Burkhead (RB, NE) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead hasn't played since Week 3 when he injured his neck and landed on the Injured Reserve list. He's back at practice and is questionable to return this week. The presence of Sony Michel and James White complicates things, however. Burkhead... Read More

Chris Herndon (TE, NYJ) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We would be remiss to ignore New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon, even if we don't know who his QB will be this week. Herndon had a three-game TD streak earlier this year and has averaged 42 yards per game over the... Read More

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The byes are almost done, except that the two teams missing from this week's slate account for half of the starting lineups of the most successful fantasy teams. If anything, this might be a chance for fringe contenders to gain a leg up on their league's powerhouse teams that are missing their Rams and Chiefs.... Read More

Marcell Ateman (WR, OAK) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Aside from being the only healthy receiver left in Oakland aside from Seth Roberts after Brandon LaFell apparently ruptured his Achilles, Marcell Ateman made his presence known in his first appearance of the year. The seventh-round pick came up with a huge play in the last two... Read More

Bruce Ellington (WR, DET) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The talk of T.J. Jones and Brandon Powell as possible replacements for Golden Tate were overstated. The team went out and added Bruce Ellington, formerly of the Texans, and he immediately stepped in to catch six passes for 52 yards. If Marvin Jones returns next week as expected, Ellington's target count... Read More

Dontrelle Inman (WR, IND) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Early in the year it was Ryan Grant who gained a little attention from fantasy owners as one of Andrew Luck's primary targets. He appears to have been replaced by Dontrelle Inman, who has drawn rave reviews from Luck himself since he first set foot in... Read More

Pierre Garcon (WR, SF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the explosion of youthful receivers bursting onto the scene, it's easy to forget about San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon. He's played just one game in the past month due to injuries and a bye, but should be good to go... Read More

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Why are we talking about Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate again after he caught just two balls for 16 yards? First, Jameis Winston is back and we know he loves him some Brate. Second, O.J. Howard suffered an ankle injury and... Read More

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks

Hopefully, all my loyal readers got the joke last week that the picks were actually reversed and did the complete opposite of what was suggested! Nelson Agholor has apparently not morphed into toast, at least not yet. Week 10 was just one of those weeks that was filled with blowouts and upsets, or in the case... Read More

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We're almost done with bye weeks, but Week 11 is another big one. Six teams will be on break which should again limit the number of waiver options available. It should but it won't, as this week will see several of the bottom dwellers in the league sitting out, namely the AFC East. This gives... Read More

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Just when it appeared that it was feasible to believe that Seattle's usage of running backs would have a consistent, understandable pattern, the distribution of 12 touches to Rashaad Penny in Week 10 eviscerated that possibility yet again. Chris Carson's most recent health issue (thigh)... Read More

Spencer Ware (RB, KC) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're into late-season handcuffing to hedge your bet and ensure you don't get screwed by a Week 14 injury to your RB1, Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware should be higher on the totem pole than some other RBs available on waivers...
