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 […]

Mike Davis (RB, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

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. Indeed Mike Davis, just like the rest of this team, struggled on Sunday. He […]

Brandon Lafell (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: In a season where he was expected to be the fourth, maybe fifth wide receiver on the depth chart, Brandon Lafell has consistently been the No. 2 man for the Bengals behind A.J. Green. Unfortunately, that has not turned into reliable fantasy numbers this […]

Paul Richardson (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Paul Richardson has remained a red zone favorite of quarterback Russell Wilson's, hauling in his sixth touchdown of the season in Week 14 against the Jaguars. With the run game virtually non-existent in Seattle, Wilson has had to air it out much more than […]

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. A cavalcade of running backs ranging from Eddie Lacy, Thomas Rawls, Chris Carson, C.J. Prosise and J.D McKissic has now come to Mike Davis, who began the year on the practice squad. […]

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. In fact, in Week 13 against the Colts Yeldon did not have any carries. He did, however, see two targets which he turned into 25 yards. Yeldon has been serving as a check-down […]

Danny Amendola (NE, WR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Chris Hogan missing the last four weeks, many expected that slot receiver Danny Amendola would take on a much bigger role in the Patriots offense. That was true in Week 11 against the Raiders, when Amendola had eight catches for 66 yards in […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle's has had the most unpredictable backfield in the NFL, and fantasy owners would be wise to stay away in shallower formats. Mike Davis seems to have taken over every down duties for the time being, but rookie Chris Carson is nearing a return […]

Kenny Golladay (WR, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenny Golladay has posted extremely consistent numbers in his last three games. Since returning from his hamstring injury, Golladay has caught two passes in each contest, posting yard totals of 52, 64 and 61. The third-round pick has major big play potential, but unless […]

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. Fortunately for him, he is becoming a favorite red zone target of QB Andy Dalton. Kroft is rarely going to post TE1 numbers based on yardage alone. He has only posted 50+ yards twice […]

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. Quizz only found the end zone once in those first few weeks but was a valuable RB in PPR formats as a pass-catcher. Quizz has […]

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. The offense has been entirely one-dimensional, with Wilson accounting for over 80% of the teams yards. He is their leading rusher and has done all that is asked of him and more […]

Brandon Lafell (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

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. In fact, many thought Brandon Lafell was a cut candidate if he found himself fourth or […]

Kenny Golladay (WR, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenny Golladay is back and reminding us all that he has some serious big play potential. In an offense where big play potential is needed, and with a quarterback capable of really airing it out, Golladay could make for an intriguing add in deeper […]

Tyler Kroft (TE, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

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. With Eifert still on the IR, Kroft will continue to get opportunities to shine in the Cincinnati offense. Last week Kroft was able to take advantage […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team/2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton has been able to shake off the turnover bug that plagued him earlier in the season. He has thrown five touchdowns against zero interceptions in his last two games. His low yard totals (he has only posted over 300 yards […]

Latavius Murray (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 60% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Latavius Murray has taken over control of the Minnesota backfield, scoring four touchdowns in his last four games. He punched his way into the end zone twice last week, rushing 15 times for 95 yards. Jerick McKinnon is still around and will see […]

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. Headlined by first round pick John Ross and last year's surprise rookie Tyler Boyd, who had 600 yards last year as a rookie, Brandon Lafell was nearly an afterthought. However, […]
