Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For someone with Jameis Winston's production this season, the truth is that the near-50% rostership will end falling sooner rather than later. That doesn't mean Winston should be thrown straight out of every fantasy-squad window, though. Winston is producing low numbers but his […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ teams Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones has been all around the board to kick the year off. He debuted to the tune of a QB14 finish, proceeded to play to the QB4 levels in Week 2, and lastly this Sunday he closed the game against the […]

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ teams/2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Second week of the Taylor Heinicke era in Washington, and second game in which the forced-started passed the test rather nicely. I don't think anyone in the world is happy with Ryan Fitzpatrick missing time as he brings the fireworks weekly, but […]

Chuba Hubbard (RB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is far from your under-the-radar WW option. In fact, not many players with such a low usage and volume of opportunity are as rostered as Chuba Hubbard was prior to the last TNF. That's what happens when you're Christian McCaffrey's backup, […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is more of a bet than a solid addition at this point, but we might be getting there slowly but surely. Nobody is going to label Terrace Marshall Jr. as more than a low-end receiver playing a secondary role for the […]

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ teams/2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As ridiculous as it sounds, Sam Darnold has been around for three full seasons already and is now throwing rocks for the fourth season in his NFL career. He's doing so in Carolina, which traded for him this offseason to grab him […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you have selected Dalvin Cook near the onset of your drafts at any point since 2018, then you may have opted to protect your investment through the addition of Mattison. The motivation for including Cook’s direct backup on rosters has been sustained due to […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers who invested heavy draft capital in Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson are likely shivering just at the mention of the name J.D. McKissic right now. The 28-year-old veteran saw nine fewer carries and 12 fewer snaps than […]

K.J. Osborn (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Here's a quick comparison between a pair of Vikings receivers after two weeks: Receiver A: 19 targets, 11 receptions, 136 yards, 1 touchdown Receiver B: 15 targets, 12 receptions, 167 yards, 1 touchdown One of the receivers was a unanimous top-25 pick […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Hear me out, and hear me well: this is the last time you'll have a chance to get some Darnell Mooney shares and roster him in your fantasy squads before he crosses the 50-percent rostership and gets into some fantasy GM team. […]

Michael Carter (RB, NYJ) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The hype was high around the freshest New York Jets' running back Michael Carter entering Draft SZN. And his current 50% rostership in Yahoo leagues speaks about that. Most of Carter's fantasy GMs, though, were very disappointed to find the rusher playing […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie receiver Rondale Moore will have to endure some growing pains, but there is nothing to hate about that. After playing just 20 offensive snaps (29%) in Week 1, Arizona put him on the field for 28 (46%) this past Sunday and […]

Henry Ruggs III (WR, LV) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Henry Ruggs III stan here. Don't judge me, I just love explosive players and Ruggs just proved to be one of them. I know, Ruggs was rather disappointing as a rook last year finishing the 2020 campaign and his first as a […]

James White (RB, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I won't stop preaching the James White Word any time soon, but the fact that this man was the leading scorer of the Patriots in Week 3 and the third-best fantasy player of the team in Week 1 tells you all […]

Cordarrelle Patterson (RB, ATL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's a bird... it's a plane... it's the greatest kick returner of all time! You never thought you'd read this, but here it is: Cordarrelle Patterson led his team in fantasy points this weekend, finished as the RB4 through Sunday night games, […]

Tony Jones Jr. (RB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The New Orleans Saints offense was absolutely abysmal in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. They mustered just 128 total yards and only one touchdown. It was a far cry from the team's 38-point onslaught of the Green Bay Packers in Week […]

Kenny Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Gainwell accrued 2,069 total yards (1,459 rushing/610 receiving) in 2019 while operating in the Memphis Tigers’ RPO spread offense. Those were compelling reasons to believe that he could eventually collect touches as both a rusher and receiver in Philadelphia’s backfield - particularly […]

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Haters gonna hate, and while they're at it, I'll keep believing. Maybe I was a bit too high on Sam Darnold when he landed in New York as the Jets' freshest franchise QB, and that surely backfired. But this change of scenery definitely looks […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (Prioritize in PPR) OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: McKissic captured a 19.2% share last season, led all backs in targets (110/6.9 per game), and was second in both receptions (80/5.8 per game) and receiving yards (589/36.8 per game). But Antonio Gibson’s ADP surged during draft season, which was […]

Zack Moss (RB, BUF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Moss was being selected in Round 8 during the majority of drafts during July, but his momentum took a downturn in August when he suffered a hamstring injury. He was also inactive during Buffalo’s season-opening loss to Pittsburgh as Devin Singletary bolted for 80 […]

James Washington (WR, PIT) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In an extremely frustrating turn of events, Diontae Johnson injured his knee on the final play of the game in a nine-point loss. That meaningless play could lead to missed time for Johnson and an increased role for Washington, who was targeted just once […]

Dawson Knox (TE, BUF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Buffalo’s top tight end might be the best option on many fantasy waiver wires at the moment. He followed up his four-catch performance Week 1 with a sparkling touchdown catch in Week 2. This now gives Knox six touchdowns over his last […]

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have to admit that on two occasions on Sunday I referred to Doyle as Dallas Clark when I saw him make plays against the L.A. Rams. Doyle has not helped fantasy managers much in recent years, but he played some of […]

Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A knee injury forced Andy Dalton to the sideline against the Cincinnati Bengals, leading to Justin Fields playing most of the second half. Fields had a modest showing at quarterback, completing six of 13 passes for 60 yards and an interception while adding 10 carries for […]

Arizona Cardinals (D/ST, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Red Birds are in the upper half of the rostered threshold but will likely be dropped in many leagues after giving up 33 points to Minnesota. That would be a mistake because they are about to take on Jacksonville, which is […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues | 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though the Giants offense hasn’t looked good through two games, Daniel Jones is throwing up great fantasy statistics. Jones completed 68% of his passes for 249 yards and a touchdown against a stellar Washington Football Team defense in […]

Carolina Panthers (D/ST, CAR) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Throw out the fantasy numbers and make Carolina your first DST claim based on matchup alone. Thursday nights are known for low score totals (except last week) but it's already been established that Houston will be without Tyrod Taylor. That means rookie Davis Mills will […]

Las Vegas Raiders (D/ST, LV) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rare will be the time when the Raiders defense enters the fantasy consciousness but the proposition of facing Miami with backup QB Jacoby Brissett is one of those times. Brissett is a capable QB and won't throw a ton of interceptions but he has […]

Jalen Reagor (WR, PHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor had a standout game in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, catching all six of his targets for 49 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, he barely showed up on the box score in the team's 17-11 […]
