Danny Amendola (WR, DET) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Believe it or not, Danny Amendola was tied for third in the NFL among receivers in Week 1 with 13 targets. Matthew Stafford looked his way early and often, and Amendola came down with seven catches for 104 yards and a touchdown […]

Chris Thompson (RB, WAS) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A knee injury is going to cost Derrius Guice some time, and while that injury was thankfully to the non-ACL tear knee, Washington is still likely going to be cautious with the second-year back. Behind him on the depth chart, Washington […]

D.J. Chark (WR, JAC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As a rookie, Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark had 14 catches for 174 yards and no touchdowns. Sunday against the Chiefs, he ended up with four catches for 146 yards and a score. Nearly doubling your career receiving yard mark in one […]

Terry McLaurin (WR, WAS) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Virtually every NFL team has a wide receiver who can be considered fantasy relevant, but things in Washington were such a mess entering this season that no one seemed to have any idea which receiver -- if any -- would be the […]

Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Giovani Bernard outcarried Joe Mixon (ankle) seven to six in Week 1 against the Seahawks after the latter left with an injury. While Bernard was nothing special on the ground -- 3.0 yards per carry for 21 yards -- Mixon could wind up […]

Ronald Jones II (RB, TB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: No rookie had a worse year in 2018 than Ronald Jones II. The USC product played in just nine games and ran 23 times for 44 yards (1.9 yards per tote) and only one touchdown. He worked hard in the offseason and was […]

Gardner Minshew (QB, JAC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 1 didn't go well for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who saw their starting quarterback Nick Foles leave the game early with a broken collarbone and land on the injured reserve. That'll put the most important position in football in the hands of sixth-round […]

Malcolm Brown (RB, LAR) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 10% of leagues ANALYSIS: Much was made this offseason about the Rams' plan to limit Todd Gurley's workload in order to keep him healthy for the entire season. We finally got to see that plan in action in Week 1 against the Panthers. But it was veteran […]

Marquise Brown (WR, BAL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Very few expected much from Marquise Brown in his regular season NFL debut in a run-first offense, especially since he had missed some practices and preseason games while recovering from a Lisfranc foot injury. Not only did he look fully healthy, but Brown […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While there's still not much clarity on the Tyreek Hill injury situation, we do know that Hill is set to miss at least some time, leaving the Kansas City Chiefs fairly light at the wide receiver position. There's Sammy Watkins, who was the […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Minnesota Vikings running game was out in full force in Week 1 and rookie running back Alexander Mattison played a big part in it. In his NFL debut, Mattison had nine carries for 49 yards, averaging a solid 5.4 yards per carry. […]

Devante Parker (WR, MIA) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker has been the definition of inconsistency throughout the first four years of his NFL career. There've been flashes of brilliance followed by weeks of complete irrelevance. But is there reason to believe this year could be different? […]

John Ross (WR, CIN) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: John Ross was largely overlooked as a fantasy asset this offseason, despite Cincinnati's thin wide receiver depth chart and a large potential workload with A.J. Green on the sidelines. Since being selected ninth overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, Ross has been […]

Matthew Stafford (QB, DET) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week's game against the Cardinals could be a predictor of future performance for Matthew Stafford. Stafford has thrown for over 4,200 yards in every season since 2011, except last season's downtrodden performance where he finished with 3,777 yards and 21 touchdowns. This season, […]

Mike Davis (RB, CHI) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While all the Bears talk of the offseason was about rookie David Montgomery, it was former Seahawks running back Mike Davis who saw the most usage in Chicago's season-opening loss to the Green Bay Packers. Davis carried the ball five times for […]

Welcome to the 2019 NFL season and our first edition of the Waiver Wire weekly series for fantasy football! It might seem early to be talking waivers since the season hasn't officially started yet. I'm here to tell you it's never too early to find ways to improve your team! If you're like me and […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

The NFL season is almost here, as it kicks off on Thursday night when the Packers visit the Bears. For a lot of y'all, you've already finished your draft and you're probably sitting with a roster that you are increasingly unhappy with. Here's a useful bit of information: You don't have to wait until Week […]

Mike Davis (RB, CHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

A lot has been said about what is and what is not a sleeper. And in most cases, looking at sleeper lists, one gets truly surprised to find some great names thrown in them. This season, to me, there are not many players that can be considered capital-S Sleepers like Mike Davis can be. Be it because […]

Sammy Watkins (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~67 Overall Current ADP: ~90 Currently, Sammy Watkins is barely a tier-five WR in our rankings with an ADP around 90. All of this while being the number three receiver on a Chiefs team that will have the undisputed QB1 of the league at the helm. Production is coming, whether you […]

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall Current ADP: ~100 The hype surrounding Kyler Murray is real. Everybody is buying into Arizona's fast-paced and bombing offense under Kliff Kingsbury. Oh, and Larry Fitzgerald will keep burning defenses as he has been doing for the last gazillion years. Some things never change. Who are we trying to lie by […]

Marvin Jones (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall Current ADP: ~95 Marvin Jones ranks 26th in the last three-year span among receivers in PPR points, but last year he could only finish WR46. That's enough reason for most owners out there to fade him in drafts. Of a potential total of 48 games since the start of […]

Robby Anderson (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall Current ADP: ~70 One year ago, Robby Anderson was being selected at the onset of Round 8. His ADP was the byproduct of optimism that he could perpetuate his late-season momentum from 2017 when he averaged 98 yards-per-game (Weeks 8-13) and accumulated 941 yards. But Anderson failed to build upon that […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAC) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall Current ADP: ~80 Dede Westbrook has not engendered the level of attention that other trendy targets such as D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Chris Godwin have captured in recent months. However, the third-year receiver's desirable blend of speed, acceleration, and dependable hands should be utilized more effectively than at any other […]

Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall Current ADP: ~100 Curtis Samuel has been the subject of a surging stream of expectations during recent weeks. The topics have included his improved route-running, his favorable foot speed, and his unchallenged explosiveness. The enthusiasm escalated after his training camp performances, as he demonstrated his ability to blaze beyond defenders […]

Darren Waller (TE, OAK) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Oakland Raiders enter 2019 hoping to compete for the AFC West Division crown. They are a team that finished 23rd in total offense in 2018 with 5,739 yards. The passing attack accounted for 3,751 of these yards, which was good for 18th in the league. The offense has gone through some major changes in […]

Devin Singletary (RB, BUF) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall Current ADP: ~120 ANALYSIS: Is this the year for Devin Singletary? It is hard to say for sure, but with LeSean McCoy out of the way, it very well could be. One thing we know is the Buffalo Bills are preparing for the future. A future with Josh Allen at […]

Ty Montgomery (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall Current ADP: ~215 ANALYSIS: Ty Montgomery is still being drafted outside the top-70 at running back on a lot of sites, which seems wild to me. He's the main backup to Le'Veon Bell in what should be an offense that focuses extensively on their running backs, and Montgomery's history as a wide […]

Demaryius Thomas (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~220 Overall Current ADP: ~250 ANALYSIS:  This pick is probably more “gut call” than verifiable evidence. The 32-year-old is coming off his worst season as a professional and also tore his Achilles tendon in the second to last game of the season – ironically the same injury suffered by former teammate Emmanuel Sanders. […]

John Brown (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall Current ADP: ~145 ANALYSIS: As an elite deep threat, John Brown is one of my favorite Best Ball targets, but one that is really worth a roster spot in all leagues. For starters, John Brown is not simply a deep ball threat, as Matt Harmon has been trying to point out for […]
