BALLER MOVE: 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Chargers are another “just okay” defense in a very good matchup with the 26th-ranked Jets (ranked 29th in offensive DVOA). The Chargers' defense has shown signs of life lately with seven sacks and five forced turnovers in their last three games, and even […]

Atlanta Falcons Defense (D/ST) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kirk Cousins is out for the season with a torn Achilles. The Vikings traded for Joshua Dobbs on Tuesday, but he will not be ready to start in Week 9. That leaves rookie QB Jaren Hall -- who took four snaps and lost a […]

Las Vegas Raiders Defense (D/ST) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is difficult to not start the DST in Week 9 facing a Giants team who put on one of the worst offensive displays we have ever seen in Week 8. Although the Raiders disappointed in a good matchup in Week 7, this matchup […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Wilson Jr. has handled just eight total touches since making his season debut in Week 7. However, the starter, backup, and third-string running back should be rostered in this explosive Dolphins' offense depending on your league size. Wilson is a few injuries […]

Latavius Murray (RB, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Latavius Murray averaged 15.8 snaps, 3.8 carries, and 16.6 rushing yards per game from Weeks 1-5. However, his involvement in Buffalo’s backfield rotation since Week 6 has elevated him into consideration as a roster addition if you are contending with significant roster […]

Pierre Strong Jr. (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jerome Ford (high ankle sprain), and Kareem Hunt (thigh) were both contending with injuries prior to Cleveland’s Week 8 matchup with the Seahawks. That elevated Pierre Strong Jr. into his most extensive workload of the season. Touches were distributed to all three backs when […]

Demario Douglas (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Demario Douglas got his first opportunity to play regular snaps last week and he made the most of them.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This past weekend Marvin Mims Jr. played just 41% of the snaps, ran a route on just 37.5% of the dropbacks, and had one target.

Jayden Reed (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Packers' entire offense has struggled mightily since Week 2, but Reed has played well. While Romeo Doubs continues to catch touchdown passes, he has just two games with more than 30 receiving yards. Is Doubs good or has he just been […]

Khalil Shakir (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Starting tight end Dawson Knox being on IR with a wrist injury had a butterfly effect on the rest of their offense. This shifted rookie Dalton Kincaid from the slot position where he had typically been playing to a full-time, traditional in-line tight end role. […]

Devin Singletary (RB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Devin Singletary became an enticing waiver wire target after he accumulated more snaps (31/21), and rushing yards (58/34) than Dameon Pierce in Week 6. Singletary’s average of 4.8 yards per attempt also exceeded the 2.6 per attempt that was attained by Pierce. He also […]

Jonathan Mingo (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Mingo has yet to have that one big game, but his snap share, route participation, and target total indicate that the game is coming. He left Week 3 early due to a concussion, but in Weeks 1-2 and Weeks 5-6 (he […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dallas was on a bye in Week 7, but dating back to Week 6, Cooks has now found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. Fantasy managers would like to see his target total higher than it's been – in five out of […]

Royce Freeman (RB, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Henderson took the lead in Week 7, Freeman ended up playing more snaps than Henderson this past weekend. However, despite playing more snaps, Henderson still had more targets and carries than Freeman. Considering the game script and the touch totals, we […]

Tyjae Spears (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyjae Spears is somehow available in 50% of all leagues even though the incentive for having the explosive rookie contained on rosters in all leagues remains enormous. Spears has accumulated 197 snaps from Weeks 1-8. He has also generated 198 rushing yards […]

Sam Howell (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This dude is absolutely balling out and it's being overshadowed by how many sacks he's taken, but we need to appreciate how well he's played. He's thrown for at least 249 yards in five out of eight games. He's scored more than […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Zach Charbonnet was rostered in over 50% of all leagues entering Week 6.

Cam Akers (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though Alexander Mattison has been functioning as Minnesota’s RB1 throughout the regular season his performances have been largely underwhelming. Mattison has failed to exceed 3.5 yards per attempt in four of his eight matchups. He has also averaged just 3.2 per attempt from […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. (RB, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It was initially unclear how Sean McVay would distribute touches within the Rams’ reconstructed backfield, following injuries that had sidelined Kyren Williams (sprained ankle), and Ronnie Rivers (knee). However, Darrell Henderson has now led the backfield in snaps (68), rushing attempts (30), and rushing yardage (97) […]

Emari Demercado (RB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Emari Demercado has now played on 91 snaps while operating with 33 attempts and assembling 136 rushing yards during Arizona’s last two matchups.

Rashid Shaheed (WR, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not usually big on players who don't get a lot of targets, because their production depends heavily on them getting a lot of production on limited looks. However, Rashid Shaheed has been a really intriguing boom/bust play all season. He […]

Tank Dell (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tank Dell didn't have a lot of yards in his return, but I liked the way the Texans worked to get him the ball. He was targeted four times, catching three passes for 16 yards, but the Texans also got him three […]
