Jalen Guyton (WR, LAC) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams banged up a bit for last TNF game against Las Vegas, Jalen Guyton was always going to eat more than usual. That didn't entirely mean a potentially big change was coming to Guyton's stats, though, as […]

Tyron Johnson (WR, LAC) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Mike Williams played only a couple of snaps a week ago facing Atlanta before being forced out of that game. He came back this past TNF but he was still a little bit banged up, which turned into just 28 snaps and a […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, CAR) - Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Teddy Bridgewater hasn't been close to a mindblowing player at the quarterback position this season, the truth is that he has been a rather good play for the whole year. Bridgewater has ranked outside the QB2 realm just once in the 13 […]

Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been hard to trust anyone part of Baltimore's backfield this season. The Ravens have used all of Mark Ingram II, J.K. Dobbins, and Gus Edwards in a very even balanced through the year. Edwards has averaged 9.0 opportunities per game through W14, […]

Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Ravens and the Browns just put on a mad match and a serious contender for game of the season this past Monday. There were plenty of rushing touchdowns, sure, but Higgins was one of only two wide receivers (the other on Baltimore's […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Keelan Cole has been a bouncy play through the whole season; can't lie about that. But when Cole played under Gardner Minshew's orders it was when the wideout logged his best games, too. And if you know anything about Jacksonville, it is that […]

Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Realistically, Keke Coutee has only played four games this season (he logged a game played in W2 but he was on the field for just five snaps). In those four games, all happening in the last four weeks, Coutee has been forced to […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, CLE) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Just when we thought the week was over, Baker Mayfield came on Monday to extend the field of high-scoring fantasy players. Yes, Lamar Jackson got away with the W and the slightly highest FP tally, but Lamar is rostered in 99 percent of […]

K.J. Hamler (WR, DEN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A career day for Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock in Week 14 also led to a breakout game from rookie receiver K.J. Hamler, who caught two of his three targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns. The speedy 5'9" Hamler has shown flashes […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Wilson Jr. is the clear No. 2 running back for the San Francisco 49ers and the gap between him and the team's No. 1 back Raheem Mostert is looking pretty slim right now. Over the past two weeks, Mostert has 23 carries […]

DeAndre Washington (RB, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back DeAndre Washington was the team's leading rusher in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Washington carried the ball 13 times for 35 yards. He also caught two of his four targets for 17 yards. Washington's rushing average in […]

Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With touchdowns in three straight games now, Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Gabriel Davis needs to be on fantasy radars in all leagues. Davis only managed 19 receiving yards in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was a big drop-off after he'd […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. (WR, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Give a man a chance, and he'll provide. Someone said sometime, probably. Anyways, Lynn Bowden Jr. is the man of the story here these days. The Dolphins have lost a gazillion players to injury lately, and Bowden has been put on a much […]

Ito Smith (RB, ATL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Ito Smith has not been as productive as he would like, the truth is that Ito Smith is Atlanta's no. 1 rusher these days in terms of the opportunities he's been handed weekly. Smith has out-performed both Todd Gurley and Brian Hill […]

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before you go ahead and try to add Tony Pollard to your roster, consider Pollard for what he's more than not: Ezekiel Elliot's partner-in-crime and no more than an RB2/replacement with random-week upside for more. That being said, Pollard has been great on […]

Cole Kmet (TE, CHI) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you just go by last game's results, then you'll be banking on Jimmy Graham for next weekend's fantasy slate of games. That makes sense, considering Graham scored more than 6 fantasy points for the first time since Week 9 while Kmet could […]

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, MIN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As great a thing as it'd be to have more than one (Travis Kelce) reliable tight end to play weekly in our fantasy leagues, that's not the truth. This is Kelce's world, and we just live in it. Other than the Chiefs stud, […]

A.J. Green (WR, CIN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't look now, but are we experiencing a veteran-WR renaissance led by the likes of T.Y. Hilton and A.J. Green? It's been three weeks in a row now for Hilton hitting 18+ PPR points, and A.J. Green joined him this Sunday with an […]

Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Russell Gage had a monster start to the year. The Falcons wide receiver played 69 and 82 percent of Atlanta's snaps on offense, finished W1 and W2 with 20.4 and 16.6 PPR points respectively (good for WR11 and WR20), but then proceeded to […]

Nelson Agholor (WR, LV) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The days of low-volume, high-efficiency Nelson Agholor are over. Agholor is not your boom/bust, four-target-or-less player anymore. The Raiders have made Agholor a fundamental part of their offense and it's been four games in a row in which the WR has logged 6+ […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Now that Tim Patrick has played 12 games, we can easily split his season into two halves which align with the before/after bye-week games of Denver. In the first half of the year Patrick averaged 11.7 PPR points per game while posting his […]

Jalen Hurts (QB, PHI) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It happened. We've been calling for sitting Carson Wentz since maybe Week 2 when Wentz just finished putting up back-to-back 14-FP performances to kick the season off. The Eagles opted to keep Carson manning the pocket until that changed yesterday when Jalen Hurts finally […]

Drew Lock (QB, DEN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Has Denver found its franchise quarterback in Drew Lock, once for all? Hard to say, but in my opinion, he's as close as they've gotten as of late. Lock isn't mindblowing, and perhaps his turnover-issues will kill his real-life upside, but he's not--by […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took Tua seven appearances and six starts, but he finally got things right right. Facing the Mighty Chiefs, Tagovailoa was able to put on his best pro-game to date racking up 28 FP while playing all of Miami's 83 offensive snaps. He put […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We're already one game into the fantasy postseason. If you still need to read my columns to remind you that Derek Carr is pretty much a must-have quarterback in every relatively-deep league, then something is wrong here. Carr has been quite productive for […]

Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a while since the last time we saw Tyler Higbee finish a game scoring double-digit fantasy points, but it finally happened this past Sunday when he finished with 12.4 PPR points against the Cardinals. We were all licking our chops back […]

Logan Thomas (TE, WAS) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We know that the tight end position is pretty much a one-man wrecking crew (Travis Kelce) and that outside of that very concrete player, it's all a random weekly affair. Perhaps Darren Waller and T.J. Hockenson can be included in that top-tier level, but […]

Adrian Peterson (RB, DET) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although the Lions were expecting rookie D'Andre Swift to be back this past weekend, he couldn't make it to the field (concussion) and missed his third consecutive game. That meant, of course, payday for veteran Adrian Peterson, as it's been the case now […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. (RB, MIA) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Miami Dolphins were extremely short-handed at running back in Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals, which enabled versatile rookie running back Lynn Bowden Jr. to see the most opportunities of his young career thus far. Bowden only had one rush in […]
