BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Denver Broncos didn't envision this type of season when they traded the house for Russell Wilson last March.

Treylon Burks (WR, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Titans started Joshua Dobbs instead of Malik Willis at quarterback this week, and it resulted in the passing attack actually doing some things. Burks benefitted from that, as he was targeted eight times, hauling in four of those for 66 yards. […]

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 18

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week (W16) might have looked more an outlier than a proper outing by Sam Darnold in the eyes of some fantasy GMs. That should no longer be the case, though, with Darnold coming off his second consecutive top-12 game of the season […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team & 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The former number-one draft pick appeared to be at a true crossroads in his career when he was waived by the lowly Carolina Panthers less than a month ago. Mayfield has responded surprisingly well to his release from Carolina. Since […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A true blast from the past, the 33-year-old wide receiver made his team debut for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The former starting QB for the Jacksonville Jaguars proved himself to be one of the better backup quarterback options in the NFL with his Week 16 performance against the Dallas Cowboys.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team & 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After being sidelined for the last two weeks with a rib injury, New York Jets quarterback Mike White is set to return for a Week 17 date with the Seattle Seahawks.

Noah Fant (TE, SEA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Part of Seattle's heist of the Denver Broncos, Noah Fant came to the Seahawks in the Russell Wilson deal. The former first-round draft pick has put together solid if unspectacular, production in his first season with the Seahawks. Fant has tallied 426 […]

Royce Freeman (RB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: To be clear, the possibility of adding Royce Freeman is being presented with the caveat that an investment in the fifth-year back provides a greater likelihood of frustration that you might endure if you secure the other players that are being discussed […]

Damien Harris (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Damien Harris sustained a thigh issue in Week 12 which has now sidelined him for the Patriots’ last four matchups.

Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a season of frequent fluctuations in the workloads of Baltimore’s running backs, the Ravens have remained consistent in their rotation of Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins since Dobbins re-emerged from injured reserve in Week 14. Edwards and Dobbins have combined for 71 […]

Deon Jackson (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though the majority of touches have been distributed to Moss following Taylor’s ankle injury, there is also a rationale for securing Deon Jackson if you are searching for flex options entering your Week 17 matchups. Jackson’s versatility has been displayed during […]

Chuba Hubbard (RB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sam Darnold has averaged 22 attempts per game since he emerged under center for Carolina in Week 12.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Keaontay Ingram makes this week's WW series of posts as a prospective roster addition.

Zack Moss (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The season-ending ankle injury that was sustained by Jonathan Taylor was clearly unfortunate for anyone who had invested in the Colts’ lead back during draft season. His absence has also provided an opportunity for fantasy managers to prioritize the addition of Zack […]

Taysom Hill (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What makes Taysom Hill so dangerous on the football field and so valuable in fantasy football is that he can rack up yards and touchdowns in a multitude of ways. If he is facing terrible weather conditions and cannot pass, then he […]

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The only thing keeping Sam Darnold from getting rostered in many more teams and leagues than he currently is at is, obviously, his low-ceiling, no-risks-taken style of play. Darnold has been able to keep interceptions and fumbles (one) at bay for the four […]

Brock Purdy (QB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Who would have thought Brock Purdy has this much production inside of him? In the four games he's started, Purdy has not dropped below the 15-FP line and has put up numbers on all fronts barring pass completions. Yes, that hurts the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 63% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Call it a contract year or call it what you want, but the truth is that Daniel Jones has finally stepped up his game at the right time for the Giants and is still in a position to carry them to the […]

Juwan Johnson (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After posting a monster stat line in Week 15, Juwan Johnson fell flat in a Christmas Eve clash with the Cleveland Browns. The Saints' TE reeled in just one catch for nine yards against the Browns in Week 16. Johnson wasn't done any […]

Isaiah Hodgins (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Had you asked Isaiah Hodgins about his pro career through Week 9 just a couple of months ago, he would have given you a very depressing answer. After playing just four snaps as a rookie for Buffalo last year and 13 in […]

Richie James (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No pass-catcher on the New York Giants rosters has done more than Richie James in the last six weeks of play. That's reason enough to roster James in all leagues and start him in pretty much every one of them, let […]

DJ Chark (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While DJ Chark had a rough outing a couple of weeks ago when he could only put up 2.8 PPR points at the New York Jets, he has now proved that a fluke with another 14+ PPR game this past weekend and […]

Kendrick Bourne (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It sounds ridiculous, but Kendrick Bourne accrued more than 33% of his total PPR points this season in last Saturday's matchup against the Bengals alone. Of course, this being Bourne, that makes a bit of sense compared to, say, what that would […]

Demarcus Robinson (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This post might not make sense to you at first sight considering that Demarcus Robinson is coming off a one-target, six-yard game (although he scored on that lone reception) but that is not what you need to be focusing on. That would […]

Tyler Allgeier (RB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It had been a while since we had seen Tyler Allgeier have such a good game as the one he put up a couple of weeks ago in Week 15 against the Saints. He finished that matchup with a season-high 22.6 PPR […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite recording just four catches for 41 yards in New Orleans' Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns, the game can still be considered progress for rookie Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed. Playing in nasty cold and windy Cleveland conditions, New Orleans […]

Jahan Dotson (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Washington Commanders selected Jahan Dotson in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft.
