C.J. Fiedorowicz (TE, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Who would have thought that DeAndre Hopkins would end up playing second fiddle to C.J. Fiedorowicz?  The Texans’ top tight end has a favorable matchup against Detroit’s below-average pass defense, so six receptions for 55 yards and a score is not unreasonable. Check out RotoBaller's famous fantasy football draft […]

Lance Kendricks (TE, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I know Lance Kendricks is on bye this week, and I know that his name has been mentioned in this column two times over the past month.  All that aside, Kendricks remains one of the best options at tight end on many league waiver wires because of […]

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Titans may not have been great in Week 7 against the Colts, but they’ve been good overall this season and now get to pick on the Jaguars at home on a short week. The Titans’ defense entered Week 7 with the […]

New York Jets (DEF, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Jets aren’t good, but the Browns are worse. The Browns are even worse than that now, actually. Cody Kessler entered the concussion protocol in Cleveland’s Week 7 tilt, and his status for Week 8 is quite murky. That leaves Kevin Hogan […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 8 Pickups & Adds

Three fewer games equals six fewer tight ends for fantasy football owners to use this week.

Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After starting his career with four straight games of efficient quarterback play, the past two have not been great for Carson Wentz. He’s thrown for a combined 307 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions with a 54% completion rate over that span. […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Coming off a strong performance against the Saints in Week 7 in which Alex Smith throw for two scores, odds are his favorable schedule will once again lead to a solid performance at Indianapolis in Week 8. Indianapolis’ defense is surrendering 293.5 […]

Sam Bradford (QB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford was not good in his return to Philadelphia, completing 24-of-41 pass attempts for 224 yards and a touchdown, but the damage was done with three turnovers (one interception, two fumbles lost). He was constantly under pressure from an underrated Eagles […]

Jared Goff (QB, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Case Keenum stunk yet again in Week 7, and there’s really no better time to transition to Jared Goff, the Rams' No. 1 overall pick, than during a bye week that grants you two weeks worth of preparation for a matchup against a terrible […]

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Colin Kaepernick’s arm was poor yet again against a Bucs defense that is known for making opposing quarterbacks look good, but Kaep only logged 143 yards passing on a less than 50% completion rate (16-for-34). Luckily, he was able to float his value with […]

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chicago has a horrible date with the Vikings on Monday night in Week 8, and then they hit their bye week, but after that they’ll face the Bucs in Week 10. Hopefully Jay Cutler’s thumb is healthy by then, and he’ll be able to […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Fitzpatrick had become the laughing stock of the NFL over the past five weeks, which led to him getting benched at the end of Week 6. Geno Smith drew the Week 7 start, but subsequently hurt his knee on a sack […]

Lance Kendricks (TE, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lance Kendricks hits his Week 8 bye with at least eight targets in each of LA’s last two games, and will come out of the bye to face a Panthers defense that ranks 29th in DVOA against the tight end. Sensing a trend here? Kendricks and […]

C.J. Fiedorowicz (TE, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While it’s unlikely that C.J. Fiedorowicz dazzles in Houston’s Week 7 MNF contest against Denver’s defense, he has still tallied 20 targets and two TDs over his last three games. The usage is a fantastic trend to see, and his offensive coordinator said this week that C.J.’s role is […]

Vernon Davis (TE, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues until Jordan Reed returns OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Vernon Davis caught all six of his Week 7 targets against the Lions for 79 yards, and has now topped 10 points in 0.5 PPR leagues in each of the last two weeks with Jordan Reed sidelined. It has been reported that Reed is […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Brate has unfortunately only seen three targets in each of Tampa Bay’s last two games, but had garnered 18 of them across the previous two games. Bucs QB Jameis Winston needs Brate’s size and reliable hands over the middle and in the red zone, but he is more […]

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues until Dwayne Allen returns OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doyle stepped up in a major way in Week 7, as he capitalized on Dwayne Allen’s injury by catching nine of his 10 targets for 78 yards and a TD. With Allen banged up, Doyle will easily be one of Andrew Luck’s top targets […]

Dujuan Harris (RB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues if Carlos Hyde is out OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Harris wasn’t the starter, that honor went to Mike Davis, but Harris ended up out-touching Davis 13 to 7. While Davis is the one who found pay dirt, Harris was clearly favored by San Francisco as the game wore on. This isn’t an […]

Peyton Barber (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues if you own Jacquizz Rodgers OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is for the desperate, but it’s pretty clear that Peyton Barber would be the beneficiary should Jacquizz Rodgers get hurt right now with Doug Martin’s recovery timeline unclear. Barber ripped off a late-game 44-yard TD to give him 84 rushing yards and a […]

Reggie Bush (RB, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-team leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Reggie Bush totaled 18 snaps to Mike Gillislee's 20 and Lesean McCoy's 24, punching in a one-yard TD on his one carry while adding a 13-yard catch on two targets. If McCoy misses extended time then it looks like Bush would be a decent deep-league PPR […]
