BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: While Tyler Lockett has been tabbed as the No. 3 receiver in Seattle behind Doug Baldwin and Paul Richardson, he has actually finished second in total targets since Week 6. Richardson has been the one finding the end zone, but Lockett appears to […]

Kenny Golladay (WR, DET) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Yahoo Leagues ANALYSIS: A graph of Kenny Golladay's fantasy relevance this season would trend about as straight downward as humanly possible, as the rookie wide receiver followed up his 69 yard, two touchdown game in Week 1 with two duds and four weeks spent inactive as he […]

Alfred Morris (RB, DAL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: The never-ending saga of Ezekiel Elliott’s suspension took another turn this week as it was reinstated. While there’s still a chance that the suspension is once again put off, it appears more likely that it’ll latch on for good and Elliott will finally […]

Ted Ginn (WR, NO) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Known mainly as an inconsistent deep threat with poor hands, Ginn is turning that narrative around in 2017 with the Saints. He had his best game of the season in Week 7, catching all seven of his season-high seven targets for 141 yards. […]

Josh McCown (QB, NYJ) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Although he tossed a costly late-game interception in the Week 7 loss to Miami, McCown also went 17-for-27 for 209 yards, three passing touchdowns and one rushing score. The previous week he went for a season-high 354 yards and completed 31 passes against the Patriots. […]

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: If Andrew Luck (shoulder) had been playing this year, Doyle would surely be owned in well over 50 percent of leagues. But with Jacoby Brissett under center, this offense as a whole has been severely downgraded. As is the case with many inexperienced quarterbacks […]

DeAndre Washington (RB, OAK) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Yahoo! leagues ANALYSIS: Marshawn Lynch's one-game suspension for entering the field and contacting an official during a scrum last Thursday was upheld, meaning Washington and Jalen Richard will split the backfield workload in Week 8 against the Bills.

Latavius Murray (RB, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: The season ending injury sustained by rookie Dalvin Cook opened up the door for both Latavius Murray and Jerick McKinnon to compete for touches in the Vikings offense. A lingering ankle injury to Murray gave McKinnon an increased role over the last few weeks, […]

Kenny Golladay (WR, DET) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy football's Week 1 darling, Kenny Golladay has been either ineffective or injured since his two touchdown game in the opener. However, now may be a good time to pick Golladay back up and see if any of that magic is still there. Golladay has […]

Jalen Richard (RB, OAK) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Marshawn Lynch's tussle with an official earned him an ejection in Week 7 against the Chiefs, followed by a one-game suspension. After Lynch was ejected, Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington each saw considerable action, with Richard running for 31 yards and catching four passes for 45 […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Anderson was supposed to be the team's clearcut No. 1 receiver this year, but after two dud performances to begin the year, most fantasy owners moved on. Aside from a dud in Cleveland two weeks ago, though, Anderson has been playing better, including a […]

Josh Doctson (WR, WAS) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Based on Doctson's statistics alone, it's tough to make a case for him. The second-year wideout has only four receptions on nine targets for 90 yards, but he has scored two touchdowns in the last three weeks. Aside from his two touchdowns this year […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Despite being the fourth target in the receiving game in Tampa, Humphries has managed exactly six catches in three of five contests this year.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Stills had his most efficient game of the 2017 season in the Week 6 surprise win over the Falcons on the road, catching all four of his targets for 49 yards and a score. It comes as no surprise that he accomplished that with […]

Corey Davis (WR, TEN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: The fifth overall pick in the draft, Davis had high hopes going into his rookie season, but a hamstring injury suffered in Week 2 has kept him out since. His injury was especially unfortunate after his fine showing in Week 1 (six catches on […]

John Brown (WR, ARI) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: After a highly disappointing 2016 season in which Brown dealt with injuries related to his sickle-cell trait, he entered the 2017 season as a popular breakout candidate. However, he disappointed in the season opener with just four catches (10 targets) for 32 yards, and […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: The forgotten piece in a crowded backfield, CJ Prosise is expected to be healthy and ready to go in Week 7 against the New York Giants.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: With Bilal Powell out last week, Matt Forte and Elijah McGuire were expected to split carries in the backfield.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Thomas hauled in four receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown on Sunday, giving him a nice 15.1 PPR points for the week.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Marvin Jones had a strong game last Sunday against the Saints, hauling in six passes for 96 yards and a touchdown.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 62% of Yahoo! Leagues ANALYSIS: Not that fantasy owners will be upset with Austin Seferian-Jenkins' eight catches for 46 yards and a touchdown last Sunday, but anyone who watched Sunday's game against the Patriots knows that ASJ should have scored a second time. A strange ruling by the officials […]

Roger Lewis (WR, NYG) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in +12 Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: With the Giants missing two of their top wide receivers for the rest of the year and a third, Sterling Shepard, perhaps not ready to go this week, Eli Manning may already have his new number one on the roster. Sure, the […]

Wayne Gallman (RB, NYG) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in +12 PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Giants are in complete shambles as a team and very much so in terms of fantasy football assets. After all, Odell Beckham was lost for the year, as was Brandon Marshall. Fellow wideout Dwayne Harris broke his foot, and that […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: Five weeks into his rookie season, Juju Smith-Schuster has totaled 12 receptions for 162 yards and two touchdowns.

Marlon Mack (RB, IND) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Yahoo! ANALYSIS: With Frank Gore aging and no longer able to maintain a full workload, Marlon Mack appears to have secured a good chunk of the touches in Indianapolis’ backfield, and he makes for one of the more appealing waiver wire pickups this week. […]

George Kittle (TE, SF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: New head coach Kyle Shanahan and the Niners fell in love with the rookie Kittle in training camp and the preseason -- it prompted them to trade Vance McDonald to Pittsburgh -- but that hadn't really shown through the first four weeks. In Week […]

Zach Miller (TE, CHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Although it should've been intercepted, Miller caught Mitch Trubisky's first career touchdown pass in the Monday night loss to the Vikings.
