Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Once again, Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon is fantasy-relevant. Alex Collins is on IR and Javorius Allen was last seen on the back of a milk carton, making Dixon the RB2 in Baltimore.

Antonio Callaway (WR, CLE) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another six targets on Sunday turned into 84 yards on three catches and if Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway could have held onto the football at the goal line, he would have had a touchdown as well.

Jonnu Smith (TE, TEN) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It was the Taywan Taylor show in Week 13, but Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith must still have some value based on his red zone usage and scoring potential. He was targeted in the end zone in the fourth quarter, failing to come away […]

Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB  Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It looks like the ceiling is going to remain low for Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum regardless of matchup; he only threw for 151 yards and one score in a mouth-watering matchup with the Bengals.

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jeff Driskel-led Cincinnati Bengals offense was predictably bad in Week 13, with tight end C.J.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you believed that the Los Angeles Rams offense would sputter because Cooper Kupp tore his ACL, you are looking dumber than Georgia head coach Kirby Smart did when he called for that fake punt against Alabama.
