Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

Just like there is no such thing as an announcer jinx, the same goes for writers or analysts. To call Jay Ajayi a fantasy bust and "Zero" last week, only to see him suffer another devastating injury by tearing his ACL, isn't my fault. It doesn't feel good to see it either, especially since I... Read More

Can We Trust Kawhi Leonard in Fantasy?

It's hard not to lay out an argument either for or against Kawhi Leonard in any scenario, real or fantasy, without mentioning trust. It's the foundation upon which teamwork and chemistry are built. It's essential in a game where five men work together on the court in order to achieve a common goal. It's crucial... Read More

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  If Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate is available in your league's waiver wire, don't wait to add him, even if you have a reliable tight end. O.J. Howard will miss 2-4 weeks with a sprained MCL so Brate will inherit all the tight end... Read More

Robby Anderson (WR, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson finally repaid the faith of his owners. Anderson was quiet for four games, posting eight catches for 108 yards. He surpassed that total in Week 5, exploding for 123 yards and two touchdowns. These days may not... Read More

Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: His ownership is just a bit above the one-third mark, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is still widely available as the Bucs come off a bye week. With no running game to speak of, a gunslinger still at QB, and... Read More

Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue saw the start on Sunday night in place of an injured Lamar Miller and totaled 119 yards. His rushing average wasn't too encouraging though, at just over two yards a pop (20 carries, 46 yards). There isn't a ton... Read More

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Out of Green Bay's trio of rookie receivers, Marquez Valdes-Scantling was the one to see the most action in the absence of Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison. Not only did he score his first NFL touchdown in the third quarter of Week 5, he nearly had another... Read More

Geoff Swaim (TE, DAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim leading the Cowboys in receiving with 55 yards says far more about the state of the WR corps than anything else. There is not much upside in this offense at all, outside of Ezekiel Elliott, but Swaim has claimed the... Read More

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

It took five weeks but the vultures are finally starting to come out. We saw it in Detroit, where talented rookie Kerryon Johnson turned 12 carries into 70 yards while LeGarrette Blount turned 12 carries into 22 yards yet cashed in twice on short touchdown scores. Despite the return of Devonta Freeman in Atlanta, it... Read More

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As predicted, it was Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah, not Tyler Kroft who was the primary pass-catching tight end with Tyler Eifert gone for the year. Of course, that only resulted in two catches for 43 yards but it wasn't a high-volume day for the Bengals pass... Read More

Hayden Hurst (TE, BAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst made his NFL debut against Cleveland, catching one pass for seven yards. The other tight ends, Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle, were utilized as well. This will be one of those rare TEBC (tight end by committee) situations where it might... Read More

Rishard Matthews (WR, FA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Free agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews is still without a team but has worked out with Cleveland and Arizona, according to reports. He could soon find himself a new home and bring some value to deep PPR leagues. The Browns seem like an ideal... Read More

LeGarrette Blount (RB, DET) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As mentioned a couple weeks ago, Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount will continue to hold value in standard leagues because of his remarkable talent of convincing coaches to give him the ball repeatedly in the red zone. He was less than efficient... Read More

Brandon Wilds (RB, JAC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Corey Grant's season-ending Lisfranc injury and Leonard Fournette's continued absence could make Brandon Wilds the RB2 in Jacksonville. This means he will get a few carries here and there but he's also a TJ Yeldon injury away from the being starter on a playoff team. Scary... Read More

Kyle Juszczyk (RB, SF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When does a running back with one rush attempt on the season hold fantasy value? When he's a 240 lb fullback with 16 catches and more receiving yards than David Johnson. San Francisco 49ers running back Kyle Juszczyk racked up 75 yards on... Read More

Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Possibly the most schizophrenic team on both sides of the ball this season, the Broncos were obliterated by... the Jets? Yes, my stat sheet tells me the Jets blew out the Broncos in Week 5, which led to great garbage time numbers for quarterback... Read More

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 5 Fantasy Football Picks

So close yet so far. I was ready to do a full victory lap on last week's calls in this column after Aaron Jones and Sterling Shepard had big games while Kenyan Drake and Keelan Cole proved to be duds. Then I looked at my QB picks. In retrospect, relying on Case Keenum to be... Read More

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Life is easy if you have Todd Gurley or Alvin Kamara. Sadly, statistics say that only 8.3% of all fantasy owners in a typical 12-team league will own one of these players. That number drops further the more teams in your league. Lucky for you, we're here to help. The running back scene can be... Read More

Geoff Swaim (TE, DAL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  None of the TE for the Dallas Cowboys will replace Jason Witten but Geoff Swaim has been the closest. Not only did he score his first TD in Week 4, he tied for the team lead in targets. When digging among the depths... Read More

Nick Vannett (TE, SEA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Bad news for Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly could turn into good fortune for Nick Vannett. Dissly appears to have a torn patella tendon, which will rule him out for the rest of the season. We've seen proof that the tight end can be... Read More

Hayden Hurst (TE, BAL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst still hasn't taken an NFL regular season snap but Week 5 could be the time. Hurst was selected for his pass-catching ability and the team will find ways to use him, as they do all their tight... Read More

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, ARI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones has a safe enough floor at a messy TE position. The converted wideout came away with two catches for 52 yards against Seattle. He is capable of making big plays but won't see enough action to be more... Read More

Zach Pascal (WR, IND) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone, this is Zach. Zach say hi to everyone! In case you weren't aware, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal is an undrafted free agent out of Old Dominion that earned a roster spot after Deon Cain's season-ending injury. Pascal had just two receptions... Read More
