Ameer Abdullah's Future in Detroit Uncertain

Detroit Lions running back Ameer Abdullah faces a tough offseason after seeing himself demoted to third-string running back toward the end of 2017. He started the year as the clear-cut No. 1 back but eventually lost playing time to Theo Riddick and undrafted rookie Tion Green. It seems likely that the Lions will pursue upgrades... Read More

Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Giovani Bernard took advantage of Joe Mixon's absence last week, rushing 14 times for 30 yards and a score. The 30 yards obviously is not ideal, but Bernard also had three receptions for 13 yards, giving him a nice boost in PPR formats. With Mixon... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Anyone who watched Sunday's 42-7 beatdown that the Seahawks took from the Rams may be unwilling to play anyone from Seattle's offense (save Russell Wilson) for the rest of the season.

Mike Davis (RB, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle running backs have been unreliable to say the least this fantasy season.

TJ Yeldon (RB, JAC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: T.J. Yeldon is a running back who rarely carries the ball.

Danny Amendola (NE, WR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Yahoo!

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Yahoo!

Tyler Kroft (TE, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Kroft's fantasy relevance hinges exclusively on his touchdown totals.

Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacquizz Rodgers was a must-start the first few weeks of the season while Doug Martin served his three-game suspension.

Tyler Lockett (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 43% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS:  The Seattle Russell Wilson's earned another win last week over the 49ers.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: All pre-season it looked like one of Tyler Boyd or rookie John Ross would take over as the No. 2 receiver in Cincinnati behind superstar A.J. Green.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Kroft has filled in admirably for the Bengals in the absence of regular tight end Tyler Eifert.

Brandon Lafell (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Going into the season, the Bengals' receiving core behind A.J. Green was unpredictable.
