Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

We're nearing fantasy football's home stretch, with three weeks remaining before the playoffs in many traditional formats. Congrats to those who are steamrolling along but most of you are still grinding the wire in pursuit of the perfect roster formula.

FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Fantasy Football Pickups to Target for Week 11

Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). With 10 weeks of action in the books, some of you may be sitting at the poker table […]


Waiver Wire Express - Week 11 Lightning Round

We're in the thick of November and those playoff pictures are starting to take shape, leaving us with a narrowing band of potential paths to the top. Week 10 was another underwhelming week and the biggest injury thus far has been Aaron Jones, though A.J. Dillon is rostered in three-fourths of leagues already. Perhaps you're […]


Eno Benjamin (RB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 9 was the James Conner show as Chase Edmonds suffered a high-ankle sprain in the first quarter, but Arizona won’t put everything on Conner’s shoulders moving forward. Benjamin stepped into Edmonds’ shoes as a complementary role to Conner, rushing the ball nine times for […]

FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Week 10 Targets

Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). Week 9 brought its own brand of weirdness, supplying high-caliber duds in lieu of the usual injury twists […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 brought all sorts of mayhem in the form of underperforming studs and some wild upsets. We are fortunate when it's "just" that compared to injury chaos, but remember that we're still playing a game where bad breaks can topple you through no fault of your own. Whether you scored a win or took […]


Jeremy McNichols (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (PPR only) ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Derrick Henry was spotted receiving medical attention with his cleat off in the first half on Sunday but played out the game, only to have us wake up on Monday to news that he suffered a season-ending foot injury. We must […]

FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Week 9 Targets

Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). Week 8 brought plenty of curveballs to throw our way, from the myriad injuries to the Jets somehow […]


Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round

Well, Week 8 once again reminded us that nothing is certain in the NFL as the Jets beat the Bengals for a full dose of spooky on Halloween. There were also several in-game injuries and pregame pivots from Dak Prescott, Calvin Ridley, and more. Gather yourselves and let's dive into the waiver wire lightning round […]


Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues (PPR) ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Gage was merely a shadow in Week 8, not even logging a target despite matching Tajae Sharpe on snaps (36) and routes run (21) without Calvin Ridley. Kyle Pitts remains the leading man while Hayden Hurst mixes in and Atlanta leans on two-RB sets to utilize Cordarrelle Patterson. It […]

Taysom Hill (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jameis Winston out for the season, Hill may swoop in as a savior for the Saints and fantasy teams alike in Week 9 against a vulnerable Falcons defense. Hill has been out since suffering a serious concussion in Week 5 and […]

Alongside our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB).

Waiver Wire Express - Week 8 Lightning Round

Week 7 tested the depth charts with six teams on bye and the usual assault of injuries, but you survived! Let's collect ourselves and assess the fantasy landscape moving forward with the Bye-pocalypse in our rear-view mirror. Yes, that means it's time for the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 8. This column is published […]


FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Week 7 Targets

Joining our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). Week 5 brought several injury hammers and Week 6 didn't let up, and now we face a Bye-pocalypse […]


Waiver Wire Express - Week 7 Lightning Round

Week 6 brought more action to our screens as the bye weeks start to announce their presence. Injuries rest for no one, which underscores the importance of having depth and making the right waiver moves. And that means it's time for the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 7. This column is published early every […]


Marquez Callaway (WR, NO) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints are on their bye in Week 6, but then Callaway will have a great chance at following up Sunday’s 85-yard, two-touchdown day with excellent matchups against Seattle and Tampa Bay. Deonte Harris left the game early with a hamstring injury after his […]

Joining our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB).

FAAB Bidding - Week 5 Waiver Wire Targets

Week 4 produced fireworks and saw plenty of widely available players step up into the spotlight. What will you […]


Waiver Wire Express - Week 5 Lightning Round

Week 4 was a high-scoring affair and I'm sure some of you are seeking reinforcements despite dropping 150! Keep one foot on the ground and don't burn down the roster if you're above average in Total Points. The matchup variance will even out. That said, there are some key additions available in plenty of leagues. […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

We routinely gather in this space for a rapid reaction waiver piece so you can get a jump on the action to come, but I'd like you to take a moment and think of Mike Tagliere and his family first. In case you missed it, a titan of our industry passed away this weekend. Tags […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

If Week 1 is considered getting our feet wet then Week 2 has us at least waist-deep in the fantasy season. Some of you are feeling elated en route to 2-0 while others are pleading for reinforcements as 0-2 looms.
