Latavius Murray (RB, MIN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN:  48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Entering the season, there appeared to be justification for believing that Minnesota Vikings running back Latavius Murray would seize a reasonable workload as the Vikings' short-yardage specialist, who would also receive coveted red zone carries. But the additional enticement for owning the […]

David Moore (WR, SEA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With three touchdowns in the last two games, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore must be taken seriously as a flex option in standard leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Raiders are on bye this coming week and are coming of an ugly, blowout loss in which wide receiver Martavis Bryant saw just two catches for 18 yards.

Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is probably a long shot, but we need to keep an eye on Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Adam Humphries in deeper leagues. Since Jameis Winston is under center again, things could change in Tampa Bay. Humphries has had at least 55 receptions and […]

Robby Anderson (WR, NYJ) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson is the type of boom or bust player that is frustrating to own at times, but his usage rate shows that now may be the time to buy. On top of his increased role in Sam Darnold's […]

Vance McDonald (TE, PIT) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald had seven receptions on Sunday and appears to have fully grabbed the starting TE role in the Steel City.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones only has 11 carries in his NFL career, but the talented rookie is still a player to watch.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN:  56% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets running back Bilal Powell may be behind Isaiah Crowell on the depth chart, but with Crowell nursing an ankle injury, Powell could get more work this week. In fact, even in Crowell's breakout game against the Broncos where he […]

Ito Smith (RB, ATL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith did not register a touch in Week 1, but quickly received an expanded workload in Weeks 2-4 (9 touches per game) while Devonta Freeman was contending with a sprained MCL.

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  We were wrong in thinking that Tyler Kroft was going to overtake C.J. Uzomah as Cincinnati’s top tight end in the aftermath of Tyler Eifert’s season-ending injury. Silly me not knowing Kroft would break his foot and Uzomah would put blocking on the back burner to try and […]

Paul Richardson (WR, WAS) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though the Redskins were beat up on offense against the Panthers on Sunday they were still able to come away with a victory. If running back Chris Thompson and wide receiver Jamison Crowder miss more time, then you want to own some Paul Richardson shares. Jordan Reed and Vernon […]

Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though potential owners have consistently demonstrated a thorough lack of enthusiasm for including Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore on their rosters, his outstanding Week 6 performance should eviscerate any lingering concerns.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Most waiver wire recommendations include several backs who could deliver excellent results at some point during the season, along with other rushers who are currently generating adequate scoring despite the obstacle of shared touches.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week, I had Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee listed as a dark horse in this article because I wanted to see how Houston would use him with Will Fuller healthy and on the field at the same time.

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  If Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate is available in your league's waiver wire, don't wait to add him, even if you have a reliable tight end. O.J. Howard will miss 2-4 weeks with a sprained MCL so Brate will inherit all the tight end […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson finally repaid the faith of his owners.

Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: His ownership is just a bit above the one-third mark, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is still widely available as the Bucs come off a bye week.

Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS:Will Josh Rosen be the savior for the Arizona Cardinals offense this season? He certainly could be the savior of wide receiver Christian Kirk and his fantasy value. Kirk was able to haul in his first career touchdown Sunday against the 49ers. Kirk also had more […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers were on bye this week, but with him being declared the starter in Tampa Bay Winston can be a viable fantasy quarterback again.

Ronald Jones (RB, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones has a different situation  from fellow first-year back Nick Chubb, in that Jones already has a significant opportunity that has been presented to him, but his ability to capitalize remains in question. He emerged in Week 4, […]

D'Onta Foreman (RB, HOU) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman will be eligible to return from the PUP list after this week's matchup, in the next phase of his recovery from the Achilles injury that he suffered last November.

Geronimo Allison (WR, GB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Rodgers has started off the 2018 season ranked eighth in the NFL with 314.4 passing yards-per-contest, and has already thrown ten touchdown passes through the first five games, while the Green Bay ground-attack has been good for just 101.2 rushing yards […]

Mike Davis (RB, SEA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This suggestion is not based upon a belief that Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll will elevate running back Mike Davis into weekly RB1 responsibilities. Instead, the rationale for adding him is based upon the likelihood that Carroll will also fail to entrust Chris Carson with […]
