BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton been a top waiver wire pickup two weeks running and will stay on here until we take him seriously.

Tyrod Taylor (QB, CLE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor did not have a stellar performance in Week 2 (246 passing yards one TD, one INT), but he outproduced other QBs outside the top-14 like Alex Smith, Case Keenum and Derek Carr. If you stream the QB position, at least you know... Read More

Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper caught all five of the passes aimed his way and might be carving out a role for himself finally.

Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You wouldn't be blamed for doubting if Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Bucs were for real, but it's still a shock to see that wide receiver Chirs Godwin saw his ownership barely climb after last week, especially when DeSean Jackson was questionable to play. Even with... Read More

Javorius Allen (RB, BAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen is a good addition in deeper leagues. With Kenneth Dixon (knee) out of the mix for several weeks, Allen will stay busy on passing downs and short-yardage plays. He had a very Buck Allen-like day with five catches 36... Read More

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks

I'm an introspective type of fellow, so in preparation for this season's first edition of Heroes and Zeroes (don't look for Week 1, it's in the clouds somewhere along with the missing episode of South Park), I decided to look back at some of last season's articles when I stumbled across this intro to a...

Mike Gillislee (RB, NO) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints running back Mike Gillislee may have fumbled in Week 1, but his fumble that wound up being returned for a touchdown didn't cost the Saints the game - their defense is to blame for that. It doesn't help his stock,... Read More

Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If we're judging by pure physical talent alone, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is a must-add. He displayed that talent with a nice touchdown grab near the sideline, finishing with 31 yards on four receptions. DeSean Jackson stole the show, but he suffered a... Read More

Ryan Griffin (TE, HOU) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans tight end Ryan Griffin is not just the starting tight end in Houston, he is already one of their main red zone threats.

Eric Ebron (TE, IND) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron might be on the verge of a breakout. Could it be? Is Ebron asserting himself as a pass-catching force to be reckoned with? Coming off a strong end to the 2017 season, where he could qualify as... Read More

Dallas Goedert (TE, PHI) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The final stat line was not great (one reception for four yards) and the Eagles offense was not impressive in general with Nick Foles at the helm, but Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert nearly nabbed his first NFL touchdown early in the game. You... Read More

Jonnu Smith (TE, TEN) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith is in a good spot to get a lot of playing time. Delanie Walker's misfortune now creates an opportunity for Smith to shine in his second season. Walker left the first contest of the year with an ankle... Read More

Ryan Grant (WR, IND) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sure enough, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ryan Grant had a busy day in his first start with the Colts. His nine targets were the most on the team and his eight receptions tie him for eighth-most in the league so far. Expect Grant... Read More

Taylor Gabriel (WR, CHI) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: At the time of this writing, Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel had five catches against the Packers, two on the Bears' first offensive drive alone. That may not mean much, but it does show promise that he will be involved in the... Read More

Brandon Marshall (WR, SEA) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Brandon Marshall showed he still has something left in the tank, catching three of six targets for 46 yards and a touchdown. He also caught another touchdown pass, but was flagged for offensive pass interference. Marshall shouldn't be overlooked due... Read More

Geronimo Allison (WR, GB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For a moment, it looked as if the fantasy value of every Packers skill player just went out the window. Then Aaron Rodgers came back and so did the Pack. Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison made his presence known in a big way... Read More

Tyrell Williams (WR, LAC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams only caught two passes for eight yards, but consider that one of them was a touchdown and he had another long touchdown grab slip through his fingers. Williams could have put together a big fantasy day... Read More

John Ross (WR, CIN) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross was a massive bust as a first round rookie last season.

Statcast Hitter Analysis - Launch Angle Risers/Fallers (Week 24)

It's impossible to resist making a pun about launch angle leaders being real "risers" so let's get that out of the way first. Now, let's recognize that launch angle can, but does not always, be an indicator of power production. For this reason, we'll need to look at the names which stand out on the... Read More

The baseball season is on its last legs, but it's never too late to buy or sell from the plethora of talented players available in fantasy baseball waiver pools.

Statcast Hitter Analysis - Exit Velocity Risers/Fallers (Week 23)

Even if you know very little about Statcast, you know exit velocity.
