Jordan Matthews (WR, PHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It was a quiet return for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews and his new QB Carson Wentz with two catches for 21 yards. It was a low-scoring affair with little offense all around though. Matthews could become a primary receiver out of necessity soon […]

Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen got all the attention for his debut but it was a coming-out party for wide receiver Christian Kirk. He caught seven passes for 90 yards, mostly with Bradford behind center. Regardless of who starts next week, Kirk now […]

Dallas Goedert (TE, PHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In his first game back, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz threw 10 passes to Zach Ertz and seven to Dallas Goedert. It's pretty obvious the tight ends are going to both be involved as long as injuries keep the Eagles' skill players out of action. Goedert […]

Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper didn't get in on any of the high-scoring action in Atlanta this time around. The emergence of Calvin Ridley might actually be a good thing for him, however. Ridley will command attention from safeties and could free […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: His ownership keeps creeping up, but Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is still free for the taking in two-thirds of fantasy leagues. He's starting to look like one of the most consistent streaming options out there, having tossed at least two touchdown passes […]

Josh Rosen (QB, ARI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen got his first taste of NFL action but it was bittersweet. In very limited time, Rosen looked ready for the moment upon completing three of his first five passes but then threw his first interception and failed to […]

Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is coming off his worst week, he has performed much better than most expected this season. He has scored between 15-22 points in the first two weeks, and has taken care of weak matchups thus far. He […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, CLE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has a higher ownership  than one would expect since he wasn’t even the starter when the game began, however some leagues must have weird rules where you can add anyone at any time regardless of when they played. […]

Josh Allen (QB, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills shocked the football world Sunday by going into Minnesota and handing the Vikings a 27-6 beat down. Allen put up 27.74 which is the most fantasy points Minnesota has allowed to a quarterback since the beginning of […]

C.J. Beathard (QB, SF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Look, no one is mistaking San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard for Aaron Rodgers or anything, but there are leagues where literally every starting quarterback is rostered. If that’s the type of league you play in, then it’s worth considering Beathard. He did have a couple […]

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, ARI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones had been Seals-subpar (seven catches for 36 yards) during the first two weeks when quarterback Sam Bradford could not hit the broad side of a continent with his passes. Seals-Jones finally got on the scoreboard this past Sunday when […]

Rhett Ellison (TE, NYG) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison is a block-first tight end who was only drafted in NFC East-only fantasy leagues before the season. With Evan Engram going down with a possibly semi-serious knee injury, though, Ellison is the next man up for the Giants […]

Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rams head honcho and offensive mastermind Sean McVay has been about as interested in getting his tight ends involved in the offense as President Trump has been interested in making amends with Hilary Clinton. That said, tight end Tyler Higbee had two receptions […]

Antonio Gates (TE, LAC) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The 38-year-old Los Angeles Chargers tight end Antonio Gates looked like he was 100 years old during the first two games while getting back in football shape after missing training camp, yet he must have taken a swig from the Fountain of Youth […]

Antonio Callaway (WR, CLE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway is a waiver wire target once again. Same exact spot as last week when I told you that he needs to be added now. Instead of being 6% owned he is now 33% owned but that still isn’t […]

Jakeem Grant (WR, MIA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Forget Devante Parker, he's just a decoy for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant and Albert Wilson these days. Grant was the speedy return guy used on gimmick plays last year. Now he's looking like the Dolphins' version of Tyreek Hill. Grant turned two offensive touches into […]

Cameron Meredith (WR, NO) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith finally made it back onto a football field and was able to secure a touchdown in his return. My fellow Meredith truthers can finally rejoice in the fact he could have a decent role in one […]

Paul Richardson (WR, WSH) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Prior to Week 3, Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson had hauled in at least four catches in his first two games of the season, but the big play had eluded him. In Week 3, the volume wasn’t there, but one catch for […]

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have had Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson as a waiver pickup for the last three weeks to write about and every time I get ready to add him, I change my mind last second and go with a different name. Well, […]

Ryan Grant (WR, IND) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Andrew Luck and the Colts offense didn’t get going against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3, but they fought hard and maybe aren’t as bad as many people thought. The offense will always have the potential with Luck under center, but he is going to […]

T.J. Yeldon (RB, JAC) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: At the onset of the season, I recommended that anyone who utilized a first-round pick on Leonard Fournette should also secure T.J. Yeldon as a handcuff. While that plan has been partially undermined due to modified workload distribution for Yeldon and Corey Grant, Yeldon can […]

Chris Ivory (RB, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After much conjecture regarding LeSean McCoy's rib issue, and the manner in which Buffalo would allocate backfield touches in his absence, we were reminded once again that surprises of a magnitude beyond what is seemingly possible can occur at any time in the NFL. The […]

Wendell Smallwood (RB, PHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Prior to Week 3’s matchup with the Colts, the criteria for considering Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood was solely based upon his potential opportunity to accumulate touches if Corey Clement’s sudden quad issue was significant enough to limit his touches. If that occurred, […]

Corey Grant (RB, JAC) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you are a Leonard Fournette owner who experienced having one of your competitors pilfer T.J. Yeldon, you don't have to lament your inability to secure the fourth-year back. Instead, you can focus your efforts on targeting Corey Grant for your arsenal of […]

Jordan Wilkins (RB, IND) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins continues to reside among available options in the majority of leagues, while also maintaining a presence among the weekly  suggestions in this column. Even though most potential owners have not been enthusiastic about adding him, continued attrition by […]

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines has a situation is comparable to fellow first-year runner Jordan Wilkins, in that his level of opportunity is not massive on a weekly basis, yet it remains largely consistent. Hines can perform as a matchup based flex option for […]

Ronald Jones (RB, TB) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones was not active for either of Tampa Bay's first two contests, and the list of unfavorable comments from his head coach Dirk Koetter was lengthy entering the year. These facts hardly present a solid foundation toward a recommendation […]

Jalen Richard (RB, OAK) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Amid the escalating debacle that has permeated Jon Gruden's return as Oakland's head coach, running back Jalen Richard is one of the offensive skill performers that has performed capably, while securing a role as the Raiders' pass catching back. In the team's first […]

Javorius Allen (RB, BAL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: During a week in which there will not be an unconditional must-add target at the running back position, Allen presents owners with an unexciting but logical addition as the result of his continuing role within the Raven offense. Through Baltimore’s first three games, Allen […]
