Isiah Pacheco (RB, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Any decision to add Isiah Pacheco should be fueled by your optimism that Andy Reid will eventually allocate a higher percentage of carries to the promising rookie.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jaylen Warren retains a place among this week’s most viable roster additions even though the frequent restrictions of his touch totals impede him from reaching standalone status.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Everybody was pumped about Devin Duvernay and his under-the-radar upside after Marquise Brown got traded away from Baltimore and opened the door for DD to take on (at the very least) a WR2 role. Turns out our man is now the actual […]

Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Tyreek Hill taking safeties 50 yards down the field and Jaylen Waddle keeping corners occupied on the other side of the field, the middle is opening more for Gesicki in front of and behind the linebackers. After a sluggish start that […]

Kadarius Toney (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is the classic "we have to see what he can do" waiver add. Toney was traded from the Giants to the Chiefs this week, where he'll be catching passes from Patrick Mahomes. We haven't seen a ton of Toney over his […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  In the past four weeks, even though Darius Slayton put up a dud in Week 6, there are only 30 receivers with more total PPR points than the Giants receiver. That might sound like a lot of them, but considering there are […]

Latavius Murray (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It appeared wise to avoid any member of Denver’s backfield while the Broncos were operating with a highly congested backfield rotation of Murray, Melvin Gordon, and Mike Boone. However, Boone’s ankle issue has narrowed the rotation to Murray and Gordon. This has […]

Rachaad White (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: White continues to present fantasy managers with an enticing handcuff option while his prospects of securing standalone value have been escalating in recent weeks.

Tyler Conklin (TE, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Tyler Conklin has been the walking, living, breathing definition of "bouncy asset" through the first half of the season.

Evan Engram (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Given how stupidly thin the tight end position is when it comes to viable fantasy options, it's funny that not one but two of the most-targeted players on the WW ahead of Week 9 will be coming out of the same game: Greg […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  There is only one more game in Chicago's schedule before the Bears get to enjoy their bye week.

Garrett Wilson (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Considering all of the hype he entered the NFL with, the truth is that Garrett Wilson has disappointed fantasy GMs a fair share.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  The New York Jets tied a record this past weekend and are just one game away from becoming the only franchise in the history of the NFL... to lose a matchup for the 14th consecutive time.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jaylen Warren seized his opportunity to become Najee Harris’ direct backup during August, and he  continues to operate with an uncontested path toward an extensive workload if Harris is unavailable during Pittsburgh’s remaining matchups.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rachaad White remains embedded directly below Leonard Fournette on Tampa Bay’s depth chart.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It might be hard to believe me when I say you should definitely target Tyler Allgeier on your league WW, but just looking at his workload will definitely make you change your perception of the running back.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  It's taken Parris Campbell a while to take off but that's mostly been because of his injuries: Campbell, still just 25 years old but already into his fourth NFL season, has only played 15 games over the past three years and never […]

Khalil Herbert (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers have been dropping Khalil Herbert from their rosters since David Montgomery re-emerged from his ankle injury (Week 5).  That has created a surge in Herbert’s availability as he is now available in 47% of all leagues. Herbert has averaged 6.4 yards per […]

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor Heinicke was tabbed the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders (over rookie Sam Howell) while Carson Wentz recovers from a thumb injury suffered in Week 6.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Initially, this post was going to discuss Matt Ryan as a priority add this week because of the matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 8.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I was really interested to see how things shook out in Dallas this week since Dak Prescott was back under center.

Wan'Dale Robinson (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's fair to assume it's happening: back-to-back weeks with 11+ PPR points from Wan'Dale Robinson (and good QB play by Daniel Jones!) are confirming the suspicions. Robinson is a legitimate fantasy player and should be on your WW radar at least for […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Donovan Peoples-Jones has been a constant presence in the bottom half of this column all season.
