Cordarrelle Patterson (WR, CHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Cordarrelle Patterson gets listed as a wideout, you can take him as a running-back--even more these days with what's going on in Chicago. The Bears made the news this weekend mostly because of the benching of QB Mitchell Trubisky in favor of […]

Scotty Miller (WR, TB) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been an up-and-down year for Scotty Miller--and the Bucs as a whole--so far after three weeks of play. While Tampa has won its last two games, they also dropped their first one against the lone competitive team they've faced so far. […]

James Washington (WR, PIT) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We've seen the Pittsburgh Steelers returning to their usual pass-happy selves with a healthy Ben Roethlisberger here in the 2020 NFL season. Roethlisberger is a top ten fantasy quarterback so far this year and has thrown for 777 yards on 73 completions, with […]

Carlos Hyde (RB, SEA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The injury bug is no joke this year, and another running back that fell victim to an injury in Week 3 was Chris Carson. This was a more disturbing injury as Cowboys defensive tackle Trystan Hill took him down and rolled his leg, […]

Anthony McFarland Jr. (RB, PIT) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Anthony McFarland Jr. saw his first NFL action in Week 3 against the Houston Texans and made the most of his opportunities. McFarland carried the ball six times for 42 yards and added a seven-yard reception in the game. […]

Tyler Kroft (TE, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the Bills featuring mighty QB Josh Allen this season, nothing can stop this team. Tell it to Tyler Kroft, who had a booming performance that made him the TE2 of Week 3 thanks to an incredible 18.4 PPR-point game and a couple […]

Jimmy Graham (TE, CHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As stupid as it sounds, Jimmy Graham has already tied his touchdown tally from 2019 and bested his 2018 mark too. Oh, by the way, he's played three games this season compared to 32 combined in the last two years. Uh, oh, flex on the […]

Eric Ebron (TE, PIT) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: And after three weeks, Eric Ebron finally put it all together. What a relief, and what a chance to score you a streaming TE2 with upside to enter the TE1 realm on good matchups for free through waivers. Ebron had a plain-bad debut […]

Andy Isabella (WR, ARI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I wrote about Andy Isabella last weekend, offering him as a good waiver wire pickup entering the Cardinals Week 3 matchup against a bad Detroit defense. WR3 Christian Kirk was expected to miss this past Sunday's game and indeed he did, opening the […]

John Hightower (WR, PHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Eagles are this close to forfeiting the 2020 NFL season because of a serious lack of offensive players. Now, that's a joke, but it is not as crazy as it sounds. This past weekend they lost TE Dallas Goedert and WR DeSean Jackson, […]

Greg Ward (WR, PHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Go and take a look at Greg Ward's fantasy points through the second week of the season. Nothing to call home about, right? Ward finished W1 as the 146th-best player overall (8.1 PPR points) and dropped all the way to the 271st […]

Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No news about Jimmy Garoppolo's status yet, as we're just starting the week, but he didn't practice at all during the last seven days and Nick Mullens was the clear starter for the 49ers this past weekend. Jimmy could be back next weekend, but […]

Nick Foles (QB, CHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I was wrong. I was super wrong. But I don't think I can't be blamed because the Bears, a team with a putrid-at-best situation at the quarterback position, are 3-0 to start the year so what do we even know about how football works? I thought […]

Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If there is something you didn't expect to do today, reading about Gabriel Davis as a potential waiver wire pickup must be one of them. With John Brown exiting Sunday's contest early thanks to a calf injury, it was Davis who benefited […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For someone as productive as Cole Beasley, it is a little surprising to find the wideout rostered in fewer than a league out of ten out there... The only reason (not a bad one, I have to admit) is that Buffalo already […]

Preston Williams (WR, MIA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Truth be told, Preston Williams hasn't had the best of starts to this season. The sophomore has been targeted 14 times already but has only been able to catch five of those passes for 74 yards through three games in 2020. The most […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As is often the case with Derek Carr, the Raiders quarterback is as good at producing fantasy points as he is as flying under the radar. Carr had his second-best game of the season this past Sunday against a no-joke defense in that of […]

Harrison Bryant (TE, CLE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a red-hot start for a considerable amount of tight ends across the NFL this season, meaning that talented rookies like Cole Kmet, Adam Trautman, and Brycen Hopkins have been lucky to get a single look over the first three weeks. The […]

Tee Higgins (WR, CIN) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It surprised many that the Bengals opted to go with as high-level of a wide receiver as Tee Higgins early in the 2020 NFL Draft when their need for an improvement to the offensive line still permeates, but the strength of the Bengals […]

Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Giovani Bernard has been a fixture in the Cincinnati Bengals backfield since 2013, and while the cast of surrounding characters has changed dramatically, his job description has largely remained the same. Even though Joe Mixon has taken up the vast majority of […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You might be wondering if I should be put in a mental health center. I know about it, you don't have to hide your thoughts. Now, bear with me and let me explain. San Francisco entered Week 2 with two very good and […]

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR, IND) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The first reactions to Sunday's Parris Campbell injury were all pointing toward a torn ACL. Good for him and the Colts, it looks like those early impressions were mostly wrong and he avoided such a season-ending fate. Even with that, and seeing […]

Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have to admit that two things surprised me last week. The first one was that Gage joined the two of Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley in Atlanta's offense in terms of targets (12 each). The second one was to see how many […]

N'Keal Harry (WR, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry reeled in eight of his 12 targets for 72 yards in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. It was the most productive game in the young career of the 2019 1st round pick and could be […]

Damien Harris (RB, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There's been no standout New England Patriots running back through two weeks of the season and that makes second-year back Damien Harris (hand) a tremendous waiver wire add ahead of Week 3. Harris suffered a hand injury in training camp and was placed […]

Dalton Schultz (TE, DAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Had I told you the name "Dalton" and asked about who do you think had a good game for the Cowboys in Week 2, odds are you responded "Andy". Far from real, though. It was Shultz, TE Dalton Schultz, who thrived with […]

Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody was expecting a lot from Tre'Quan Smith came Week 1 and that is precisely what he did, a bunch of nothing. Smith was targeted just once, and although the caught that lone pass he finished with just four yards even though he […]

Devonta Freeman (RB, FA) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This might be the only time I have written a waiver wire post about a still-available free agent. That's correct. Freeman is still out there without a signed contract and could end anywhere... or nowhere. That being said, the latest news related to […]

Mike Davis (RB, CAR) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Looking at Carolina's fantasy numbers through two weeks of play you'll get it quickly: it's Christian McCaffrey, and then (maybe) come the rest. CMC tallies read 28.4 and 24.8 PPR points in back-to-back weeks. He reached the latter mark in a game that he […]
