Jerick McKinnon (RB, KC) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Veteran Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon should be slated for an increased workload over the next few weeks. The team's top running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (knee) suffered an MCL sprain this past week and he is likely to miss […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues RSOTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even if you don't believe it, you can count the number of players with more targets in Week 5 than Hardman got with just one hand. That's correct. Five wideouts--including teammate Tyreek Hill--were all folks to out-target Hardman this past weekend. Makes […]

Darrel Williams (RB, KC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Clyde Edwards-Helaire had produced 24 total yards on eight touches before he suffered a knee injury during Kansas City’s Week 5 matchup.

Michael Carter (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last chance, fancy pants. Carter's rostership has already broken the 50-percent mark so this is probably the last time we'll be writing about him as he should be getting on more and more rosters as the season keeps growing old. The Jets […]

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 […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12+ Team Leagues (or stash on IR) ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you don't remember about this running back that goes by the name of Jeff Wilson Jr., well, I guess I can't blame you. Wilson has been out since the last game of 2020 and has yet to […]

Evan Engram (TE, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: How amazing is it that the Giants' offense is losing players left and right, but Engram is one of the few healthy guys standing upright? He was able to put up a season-high four catches for 55 yards against Dallas and should […]

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues and 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What's that sound? It's the siren song of garbage time points forthcoming. Heinicke played his worst game of the year against New Orleans, tossing two picks and completing less than half of his passes over 41 attempts. The Saints […]

Geno Smith (QB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues and 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Russell Wilson will be out for roughly a month after having surgery on a finger tendon, which makes Geno Smith an intriguing add at the quarterback position to navigate bye weeks (Seattle has a Week 9 bye). Smith looked […]

Mac Jones (QB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues and 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Mac Jones hasn’t been the most prolific passer for the Patriots, but he is getting plenty of volume throwing the ball. Jones has at least 30 attempts in all five of his games this season and has thrown for at least […]

Trevor Lawrence (QB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After two bad weeks against the Broncos and Cardinals, Trevor Lawrence is showing the upside that made him the consensus top overall draft pick in the 2021 NFL draft. Lawrence followed up a 17-point performance on Thursday night in Week 4 with a 21-point […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR) ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jerry Jeudy and K.J. Hamler on the IR, Patrick is locked in as the No. 2 receiver in Denver. He won't hold that role forever, but he's a solid flex option until Jeudy returns. The undrafted receiver out of Utah has hauled in 22-of-28 […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR) ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Did you wake up early to watch the Jets and the Falcons play in London? I did, for some reason. Crowder's game wasn't impressive, as he caught just four passes for 24 yards, but his six targets were second on the […]

David Johnson (RB, HOU) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: David Johnson was targeted six times in Week 5, catching five for 46 yards.

Carlos Hyde (RB, JAC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Carlos Hyde was part of the story in Week 5 because he had the biggest touch of the game for the Jaguars. He got a 4th-and-goal carry from the one-yard line in the fourth as the Jags attempted to make it a one-score […]

Jaret Patterson (RB, WAS) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Patterson accrued 3,884 rushing yards during his three collegiate seasons at Buffalo.

Kenny Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The recommendation to add Gainwell on all rosters has been consistent since he catapulted Boston Scott to seize the role as Philadelphia’s RB2. His ability to secure a respectable workload so quickly was unexpected. However, his ability to capitalize on his opportunity was not […]

Samaje Perine (RB, CIN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Perine was available in 98% of all leagues before Joe Mixon was sidelined (ankle sprain) near the conclusion of Cincinnati’s Week 4 matchup with Jacksonville.

Rondale Moore (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rondale Moore is slowly but surely bulldozing his way into a starting role in the NFL and a more-than-viable one in the fantasy realm to go with it. Even though Moore had to wait three full weeks of games played to log […]

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The same as we chase backup rushers just in case, we can do so with players at any other position. Enter tight end Ricky Seals-Jones, current TE1 of the Washington Footies after Logan Thomas was forced out of Week 4 after playing just […]

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jaguars acquired Dan Arnold in a trade a couple of weeks back, but they couldn't really throw him out there on the field for a ton of plays in their Week 4 outing against Cincy. With barely a few training reps […]

David Njokou (TE, CLE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Was last Sunday a mirage? Was it a flukey performance from Browns TE2 David Njoku? Hmm... could be the case, but let's keep calm and assess the situation here for a minute. Njoku, whose Week 5 performance went for more PPR points than […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Oh boy, what a scare seeing Teddy B off to the sidelines a couple of weeks back, let alone having him potentially missing time to QB2 Drew Lock! But we need not to worry anymore, folks, as Bridgewater came back to his usual […]

Sony Michel (RB, LAR) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sony Michel was able to score his first touchdown of the season against the Seahawks last Thursday.

Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints are going on a Bye week this next weekend and will be out of the schedule for the next couple of weeks, give or take. Winston's therefore not going to be eligible in Week 6. Is that bad? Nope. Pretty […]

Matt Ryan (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As much as the Falcons have truly stunk through Week 4, they finally got things right in last Sunday's Week 5 trip to London to face the Jets abroad. The same goes, by extension, for Matt Ryan's season to date. Ryan started […]

Alex Collins (RB, SEA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Collins is back to being a thing again. The fifth-year veteran has shown flashes of being fantasy-relevant throughout his career, including notching 14 touchdowns in brief stints as a starter in Baltimore back in 2017 and 2018. He received 10 carries […]
