Devin Duvernay (WR, BAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming up next: your deep-league WW-flier of the week, Devin Duvernay! Yay! See, I know what you're thinking: Antonio has lost his damn head. Not going to blame you, honestly, but bear with me for a minute. Duvernay has played between 6 and […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I already wrote about Keelan Cole last week, and here I am back it once more. After two great games to start the season (15.7 and 17.8 PPR points), Keelan dropped his numbers a bit in the next two (back-to-back 8-FP games) but […]

Laviska Shenault (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Shenault started the year flying under the radar, a quick look at his current rostership rate tells you all you need to know about his growth in Jacksonville's offense. The rookie only featured in 31 snaps in Week 1 but hasn't played […]

Henry Ruggs (WR, LV) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is probably the last time I will be able to (reasonably) write about Henry Ruggs as a WW target. His rostership is already at a high 44% in Yahoo! leagues, and the only thing keeping that value from sky-rocketing this week is […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cousins is playing to the level of a borderline-QB2 this season. In an offense that relies on the run quite heavily, Cousins has only attempted 139 passes through five games, while all Vikings players combined have logged 154 rushing attempts over the year. […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The idea of considering Derek Carr a great QB--let alone a superstar--is a little farfetched. And winning a game against mighty Kansas City is not going to change that perception. But. I have to say that I have always liked Carr's fantasy upside […]

Andy Dalton (QB, DAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What is to be explained about this post? Not much, if you ask me. You know what happened on Sunday: Dak Prescott got injured (like, ultra-injured for the remainder of the season and maybe even further), Andy Dalton had to back him up, […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Of course, this being Ryan Fitzpatrick we're discussing here when the rumors started to get hot about a potential benching in favor of Tua, our beloved Fitzmagic had his best game in ages. The Dolphins paid a no. 5 pick to draft Tua […]

Tyler Johnson (WR, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Welcome to the party, Tyler! It took a bunch of banged-up players for Johnson to have his final, true chance of playing big-time snaps for Tampa, but he finally was able to do so last TNF. After debuting in W3 but playing only […]

Cordarrelle Patterson (WR, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cordarrelle Patterson has played in all five Chicago's games so far this season. He is the wide receiver with the most rushing attempts (21) through TNF game against the Bucs, but chances are even if I don't update this post he will retain […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: George Kittle is on a league of his own (24.7 PPG). Then, Travis Kelce, Jonnu Smith, Robert Tonyan, and Darren Waller are all averaging between 16.4 and 14 PPR points per game. Behind those five, though, the TE position is just a mess […]

Nick Foles (QB, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Nick Foles might not be what you think of when you try to picture quarterback-greatness, he's getting the job done and not flopping at it. That doesn't mean he's someone you need to add or stream in shallow, one-QB leagues, but he should […]

Anthony McFarland Jr. (RB, PIT) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For the second year in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted a running back in the fourth-round while James Conner still has a firm grip on his place in the backfield. The first fourth-round draftee was former Kentucky Wildcat Benny Snell, and the […]

Cedrick Wilson (WR, DAL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's already been an erratic season for the Dallas Cowboys, who have surprisingly fallen to 1-3 despite putting up 31.5 points per game on the shoulders of Dak Prescott's league-leading (by a 364-yard margin) 1,690 passing yards. WithDak off to an absolutely […]

David Moore (WR, SEA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Usually, there's always one bonafide deep-threat in the Seattle Seahawks receiving core. This season, with the fire Russell Wilson is slinging each week, there is plenty of air to be shared among multiple parties. The crazy thing is, Tyler Lockett doesn't even crack […]

Zach Pascal (WR, IND) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Indianapolis Colts have made it through four weeks of the 2020 NFL season while dealing with many moving pieces, key injuries, and the first four games played by Philip Rivers for a team other than the Chargers in 16 years (wow, […]

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Austin Ekeler was off to a tremendous start to 2020 in his usual role as a dual-threat running back for the Los Angeles Chargers. So naturally, because it is definitely one of those seasons across the league, he had to exit the Chargers' Week […]

Greg Olsen (TE, SEA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Greg Olsen has been a staple tight end in the NFL for 13 years now, and after an incredibly successful nine-year stint with the Carolina Panthers, there was plenty of uncertainty as to how he would adjust in his first season with the […]

Robert Tonyan (TE, GB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is George Kittle, and then there is Robert Tonyan. Or at least that is what the fantasy points leaderboards tell me through Week 4. I'm not surprised at Kittle being the only TE to have played a 40-PPR-point game this season (Week […]

Jamaal Williams (RB, GB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nothing has changed in Green Bay's backfield through four weeks of play. Aaron Jones keeps racking up touches, rushing the ball 15+ times a game, and scoring all touchdowns on the ground (4 and counting). What has changed, though, is that the Packers […]

Damien Harris (RB, NE) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Damien Harris started the season stuck in the Injured Reserve and virtually every fantasy GM forgot about him. That, added to the headache that New England's backfield often is (how many players can share that thing!?), kept Harris rostership down to 30%... until […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If I know something, it is that the cream always rises to the top. That is why the Jaguars offense will most probably end the season with DJ Chark Jr. leading all of its receivers in PPR points. Although close to that position, […]

Darrius Shepherd (WR, GB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Somehow Green Bay keeps winning games, is 4-0 on the season, and that is considering they have missed WR1 Davante Adams for two games in a row, WR2 Allen Lazard for W4, and operated with basically no other trustworthy weapons on offense other […]

Olamide Zaccheaus (WR, ATL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you were lucky enough to find Zaccheaus in the WW during the past two weeks, congratulations. It is not that it was hard (he's still rostered in just 2% of Yahoo! leagues...), but he definitely merited a chance given Julio Jones' injury […]

N'Keal Harry (WR, NE) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After an injury-derailed rookie season, N'Keal Harry is finally enjoying a full-time playing year as a sophomore. He has already surpassed his receptions, targets, and receiving yards from last season in just over half the games he played a year ago, has one […]

Damiere Byrd (WR, NE) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make things clear here: New England's offense stinks quite a bit. Not even veteran Julian Edelman (49.6 PPR over four games) is producing good numbers at just 12.4 PPG. Second-year man N'Keal Harry is the second-best WR at just 38.8 PPR so […]

Duke Johnson (RB, HOU) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPRLeagues ROSTERED: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson made his return to action in Week 4 after missing the team's previous two games due to a sprained left ankle. While he was gone, the team's No. 1 running back David Johnson certainly didn't do too much […]

D'Ernest Johnson (RB, CLE) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson saw the heaviest workload of his young career in Week 4 against the Dallas Cowboys. After the team lost Nick Chubb (knee) to a knee injury in the game, Johnson was featured heavily, finishing the game with […]

Mo Alie-Cox (TE, IND) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox has posted solid fantasy games in three straight weeks now and all indications seem to be headed for a breakout season for the third-year pro. Alie-Cox scored the Colts' only touchdown in Week 4. It was a […]
