Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Giovani Bernard took advantage of Joe Mixon's absence last week, rushing 14 times for 30 yards and a score. The 30 yards obviously is not ideal, but Bernard also had three receptions for 13 yards, giving him a nice boost in PPR formats. With Mixon […]

Mike Davis (RB, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Anyone who watched Sunday's 42-7 beatdown that the Seahawks took from the Rams may be unwilling to play anyone from Seattle's offense (save Russell Wilson) for the rest of the season. Indeed Mike Davis, just like the rest of this team, struggled on Sunday. He […]

Brandon Lafell (WR, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: In a season where he was expected to be the fourth, maybe fifth wide receiver on the depth chart, Brandon Lafell has consistently been the No. 2 man for the Bengals behind A.J. Green. Unfortunately, that has not turned into reliable fantasy numbers this […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAX) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars offense is on a bit of a hot streak over the past few games, with quarterback Blake Bortles starting to look like a serviceable NFL quarterback. Bortles, according to Jaguars Public Relations Manager Tad Dickman, has completed 71.0 percent of his […]

Paul Richardson (WR, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Paul Richardson has remained a red zone favorite of quarterback Russell Wilson's, hauling in his sixth touchdown of the season in Week 14 against the Jaguars. With the run game virtually non-existent in Seattle, Wilson has had to air it out much more than […]

Peyton Barber (RB, TB) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Doug Martin healthy and starting, it looked like the Peyton Barber hype train was pulling back into the station, especially after Martin found the end zone early in Week 14. But aside from that score, Martin was ineffective, finishing with 10 carries […]

Tarik Cohen (RB, CHI) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears rookie running back Tarik Cohen has had an up-and-down year. The Bears opened the season with Cohen heavily involved in the run game and passing game as starting running back Jordan Howard struggled to get going, but Cohen began to see […]

Mike Davis (RB, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle running backs have been unreliable to say the least this fantasy season. A cavalcade of running backs ranging from Eddie Lacy, Thomas Rawls, Chris Carson, C.J. Prosise and J.D McKissic has now come to Mike Davis, who began the year on the practice squad. […]

Mike Wallace (WR, BAL) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: In case anyone missed the boat the last time around, Wallace has now seen a combined 19 targets for 10 catches and 164 yards over the last two weeks and 48 targets, 30 catches, 457 yards and three touchdowns over his last seven healthy […]

Kerwynn Williams (RB, ARI) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Adrian Peterson's (neck) surprise inactivity in Week 13 opened the door for Williams, who ran 16 times for 97 yards. He wasn't involved in the passing game. Williams' fantasy ceiling remains limited, though, as he's not much of a pass catcher, and he hadn't […]

Aaron Jones (RB, GB) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Jones would touch the ball just once in his return to action after missing two weeks with an MCL sprain, but he made it count. The fifth-round rookie had just celebrated his 23rd birthday on Saturday and celebrated his health by winning the game […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: You would have been forgiven if you'd dropped Cameron Brate after he went four weeks without recording more than one catch in a game. Brate got off to a hot start in 2017, finding the end zone every week between Week 3 and Week […]

Marquise Goodwin (WR, SF) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo made his first start as a 49er on Sunday and Marquise Goodwin benefited from that, finishing with a season-high eight catches in San Francisco's win over the Bears. It was Goodwin's second-best week in terms of yardage and his fourth game […]

Stephen Anderson (TE, HOU) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: In addition to losing starting tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz to a concussion (his third of the season and fourth in the past twelve months) in Week 13, the Houston Texans's loss to Tennessee saw wide receivers Bruce Ellington (hamstring) and Braxton Miller […]

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, ARI) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: After a pair of huge games that seemingly came out of nowhere, Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones came back down to earth in the Cardinals Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, finishing with two catches for 44 yards. Seals-Jones did continue […]

Brett Hundley (QB, GB) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team / 2 QB Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been an up and down season for Brett Hundley since taking over for the injured Aaron Rodgers. Two weeks ago, Hundley threw for 245 yards and three touchdowns against a tough Steelers defense, but he followed that up with a […]

TJ Yeldon (RB, JAC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: T.J. Yeldon is a running back who rarely carries the ball. In fact, in Week 13 against the Colts Yeldon did not have any carries. He did, however, see two targets which he turned into 25 yards. Yeldon has been serving as a check-down […]

Danny Amendola (NE, WR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Chris Hogan missing the last four weeks, many expected that slot receiver Danny Amendola would take on a much bigger role in the Patriots offense. That was true in Week 11 against the Raiders, when Amendola had eight catches for 66 yards in […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle's has had the most unpredictable backfield in the NFL, and fantasy owners would be wise to stay away in shallower formats. Mike Davis seems to have taken over every down duties for the time being, but rookie Chris Carson is nearing a return […]

Marlon Mack (RB, IND) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack has had an up-and-down year in terms of consistency, but he's trending upwards right now after accounting for 54 yards on just seven touches against a tough Jaguars defense. With the Colts out of contention in the AFC […]

Tyrod Taylor (QB, BUF) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team/Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: After a one-week absence from the starting lineup as the Bills turned to rookie Nathan Peterman (who threw five interceptions before being benched), Tyrod Taylor returned for Week 12. Taylor didn't throw for many yards in Buffalo's 16-10 win over the Chiefs, but he […]

Cordarelle Patterson (WR, OAK) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Cordarelle Patterson finds himself thrust into a key role in Oakland's passing attack after Amari Cooper left Week 12's game with both a concussion and sprained ankle while Michael Crabtree left it in a flurry of punches and penalty flags that resulted in a […]

Kenny Golladay (WR, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenny Golladay has posted extremely consistent numbers in his last three games. Since returning from his hamstring injury, Golladay has caught two passes in each contest, posting yard totals of 52, 64 and 61. The third-round pick has major big play potential, but unless […]

Tyler Kroft (TE, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Kroft's fantasy relevance hinges exclusively on his touchdown totals. Fortunately for him, he is becoming a favorite red zone target of QB Andy Dalton. Kroft is rarely going to post TE1 numbers based on yardage alone. He has only posted 50+ yards twice […]

Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacquizz Rodgers was a must-start the first few weeks of the season while Doug Martin served his three-game suspension. Quizz only found the end zone once in those first few weeks but was a valuable RB in PPR formats as a pass-catcher. Quizz has […]
