Better Late Than Never: Five NFL Players That (Finally) Had Breakout Performances Including AJ Dillon, Cam Akers, D'Andre Swift

We all know the players...the ones we drafted high, emptied our FAAB bankrolls for, or tried to buy low on; only to watch them consistently underperform week after week. When players that our guts and the stats tell us should perform well, continually fail to do so, it is undoubtedly one of the most nauseating […]

DeeJay Dallas (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This recommendation to add Dallas arrives with a caveat that his status as a roster addition is dependent on the health of several members of Seattle’s backfield - including Dallas. Kenneth Walker played on 14 snaps during the Seahawks’ Week 13 matchup […]

Brock Purdy (QB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a season-ending foot injury early against the Miami Dolphins. Despite rumors, there is no indication that Trey Lance is even close to making a miraculous return from his early season injury. That means that unless the 49ers prioritize a waiver […]

Evan Engram (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Lawrence endured a massive 14-40 defeat last Sunday at Detroit but he threw 31 passes, completing 17 of them.

Jerick McKinnon (RB, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Attempting to forecast the workloads within Kansas City’s backfield had become a laborious task throughout much of the regular season. However, Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s descent from the equation has provided clarity, as Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco have commandeered the touches that Andy […]

Mike White (QB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Jets won't ever stop generating headlines, will they? They started the season with Joe Flacco at quarterback and the uber-veteran put up gaudy numbers. Then Zach Wilson came back and even while getting putrid fantasy outcomes he was good enough […]

Jared Goff (QB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Lions absolutely destroyed Jacksonville this past Sunday with a 40-14 victory that nobody truly believed while watching it all unfold right in front of their eyes.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Quarterback Deshaun Watson finally made his anticipated comeback on Sunday leading the Cleveland Browns to a 27-14 win away from home at Houston.

Julio Jones Mostly Uninvolved In Buccaneers Win

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones caught three passes for 28 yards in Monday's 17-16 win over the New Orleans Saints. The 33-year-old remains an afterthought when all the other offensive weapons are healthy. He's firmly behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin at wide receiver, plus the running backs and starting tight end. Aside […]

Cade Otton Finds The End Zone Against New Orleans

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton finished with six grabs for 28 yards and a score in Monday's 17-16 win over the New Orleans Saints. The 23-year-old saw a season-high 10 targets, trailing only Chris Godwin. With Cameron Brate (illness) absent from the game, the rookie stepped in as the starter, producing another solid […]

Mike Evans Held To Four Catches Against New Orleans

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans hauled in four passes for 59 yards in Monday's 17-16 win over the New Orleans Saints. The 29-year-old has been on a cold streak for several weeks, finishing with under 60 receiving yards in four straight games. He's also failed to clear five receptions during that stretch. The […]

Leonard Fournette Has 16 Touches Returning From Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette carried the ball 10 times for 49 yards, adding six receptions for 32 yards in Monday's 17-16 win over the New Orleans Saints.

Nico Collins (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is something funny happening in Houston this season. Actually, there has been something funny happening in Houston for years now, considering the team has basically sucked for a long period of time so no fantasy GM has ever trusted any of […]

Baker Mayfield Expected To Be Claimed, But Not By 49ers

Free agent quarterback Baker Mayfield was cut by the Carolina Panthers on Monday, providing him an opportunity for a fresh start somewhere new. After Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a season-ending injury this weekend, many wondered if they would be interested in the former Panther. However, that is not where he is expected to sign, although he […]

Michael Gallup (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been two weeks playing at WR40 level although saying that doesn't really make much justice to what Michael Gallup has been doing on the gridiron lately. Gallup, remember, missed the first three games of the season entirely while recovering from injury […]

Is Courtland Sutton Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton entered the season as one of the players that fantasy managers were very excited about because of the perceived upgrade at quarterback.

Should I Pickup James Cook For Fantasy Football Week 14? Waiver Wire Outlook

James Cook had the best game of his career on Thursday night against the New England Patriots. The rookie totaled a career-high 105 scrimmage yards in Buffalo's Week 13 24-10 victory.

Chris Godwin Targeted 13 Times In Win Over Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin caught eight of 13 targets for 63 yards in Monday's 17-16 win over the New Orleans Saints. He led the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards, and targets in Monday's victory. The 26-year-old's five-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter was nullified due to a holding penalty. Godwin has […]

Rachaad White Catches Game-Winning TD In Comeback Victory

Should I Add Daniel Bellinger For Fantasy Football Week 14? Waiver Wire Outlook

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger has had an up-and-down season to say the least. The “up” part for the fourth-round rookie is that he established himself as the top tight end on the Giants roster and scored three touchdowns over his first seven games in the NFL. Bellinger became one of quarterback Daniel […]

Should I Pickup Greg Dulcich After His Week 13 Performance? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich has put together a solid rookie season. The former UCLA star has played well since making his season debut in Week 6.

David Bakhtiari Could Be Out A While

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (appendix) recently underwent an appendectomy and could miss extended time. "From what I'm told, it could be a while," head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday. The 31-year-old had the surgery last Friday and missed the Week 13 win over the Chicago Bears, and it looks like he'll […]

Tyron Smith To Be Designated To Return From IR

The Dallas Cowboys will designate offensive tackle Tyron Smith (knee) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, which will open up his 21-day practice window. Smith won't have any padded practices this week, but his return for the Dallas offense this year would be a big boost. The 31-year-old suffered an avulsion fracture in his […]

Austin Jackson On Injured Reserve, Dolphins Sign Eric Fisher

The Miami Dolphins placed offensive tackle Austin Jackson (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Monday and signed former No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher in a corresponding move, according to league sources. This will be Jackson's second stint on the Injured Reserve this year due to an ankle injury, so there's a chance we won't see […]

Mike White Will Get Another Start In Week 14

New York Jets quarterback Mike White is going to remain the team's starter under center for the foreseeable future, including in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills. Things could change if White has some poor performances in the coming weeks, but the Jets don't expect that to happen. The Jets continue to say that benched […]

Bengals Expect Joe Mixon To Clear Concussion Protocol

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (concussion) has one final hurdle to clear in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor, and the team expects Mixon to clear it early this week. "There just hasn't been contact yet, that's the last hurdle to clear," Taylor said. Mixon suffered a concussion in Week […]

Colts Defense Forces One Takeaway In Week 13

The Indianapolis Colts defense logged one sack and forced one turnover, an interception, in a 54-19 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13. While the final score looks ugly, the Colts defense didn't play as bad as it looks as they held the Cowboys to 385 yards of offense and were down just 21-19 […]
