Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It can't be argued that Justin Fields has had a rough start to his sophomore season. It took Fields three games to complete 23 passes... in total. Fields only hit double-digit completions in Week 4 when facing the Giants away from home. The good […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Falcons are content winning through their run game, which has led to modest passing volume in the first six weeks. Marcus Mariota has attempted over 30 passes in just one game this season, and it hasn’t happened since Week 1. However, Mariota […]

Caleb Huntley (RB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arthur Smith has remained committed to the deployment of Caleb Huntley and Allgeier in a rotation during Cordarrelle Patterson‘s ongoing absence. Algeier has now accumulated 28 attempts during his last two contests, including his 15 carries in Week 6. Allgeier has also averaged […]

Josh Reynolds (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 7

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Are we sure Josh Reynolds is not a legitimate (at least) fantasy player now? I mean, I know I am, but I'm just asking you all GMs managing out there. Reynolds and QB Jared Goff already shared the field on the Rams, […]

Geno Smith (QB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There should not be any doubt about Geno Smith's position in the QB tiers of the NFL at this point into the season. Yes, the start was a bit random with his W1 game reaching 16.2 FP and his second start topping […]

Taysom Hill (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy baseball players love it when their superstar slugger outfielder qualifies at shortstop or catcher due to him playing a game or even just an inning at the position. This position flexibility is paramount to fantasy success in fantasy baseball, but it […]

Alec Pierce (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Alec Pierce is, simply put, going nowhere. It's only been five weeks (and four actual games for Pierce, who didn't play in Week 2) but the wideout has already commanded the second-most targets from QB Matt Ryan while appearing on 50% of […]

Joshua Kelley (RB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Joshua Kelley had averaged 16 snaps per game and had only carried 13 times from Weeks 1-4. Sony Michel had averaged 14 snaps and had been entrusted with 22 rushing attempts per game during that span. Joshua Kelley and the @Chargers find the […]

Hayden Hurst (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you decided to punt on the tight end position – which these days means not drafting either Mark Andrews or Travis Kelce– then you have no reason not to pick up Hayden Hurst from your league's waiver in a hurry. Hurst […]

Isiah Pacheco (RB, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Isiah Pacheco’s usage has fluctuated during the season. However, he has become an intriguing back who presents the potential to energize Kansas City’s rushing attack whenever he emerges on the field. Pacheco attained a 23% snap share in Week 1 while accumulating 62 […]

Eno Benjamin (RB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Injuries to James Conner and Darrel Williams launched Benjamin into lead back responsibilities for Arizona during the Cardinals' Week 5 matchup with the Eagles. Conner was forced to the sideline with a rib issue after he had carried nine times and generated 55 […]

Kenneth Walker III (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Man down! First of all, here's hoping for a quick and healthy recovery for Rashaad Penny, Seattle's no. 1 back. It finally looked like Penny's SZN had arrived and now he'll be out for a while with a broken leg. It sucks for […]

Mike Boone (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You know what happened. And if you don't, then you definitely don't understand why 1) we're talking about Mike Boone and 2) why Mike Boone has a rostership as high as 37% ahead of Week 6 matchups. What happened, of course, was Javonte […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: J.D. McKissic’s responsibilities as the Commanders’ pass-catching back have remained consistent since he arrived in Washington, as he averaged 6.0 targets per game during 2020-2021. McKissic did not capture his usual allotment of targets during the team’s season opener (3.0 targets/7.5 share/17.6% […]

Brian Robinson (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 62% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Brian Robinson’s roster percentage has finally eclipsed 60% during the past seven days following two sizable steps that allowed him to emerge on the field. Washington designated him to return from the reserve/non-football injury list and later activated him for the Commanders’ Week […]

Darius Slayton (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Unrostered. Literally unrostered. That was Darius Slayton for you entering the last one, but most probably not entering any of the next games played by the New York Giants this season unless he got injured. Keyword: injured. See, that's the problem with Slayton […]

Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bears' passing attack has seen an uptick in the past two weeks, throwing the ball at least 20 times. That’s helped Justin Fields finish the past two weeks with double-digit fantasy points. That’s not great, but it is progress. Fields had a […]

Carson Wentz (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I guess Carson Wentz is playing with the feelings of fantasy GMs this season. After two marvelous outings to kick the year off in which he finished as QB3 and QB5 respectively, Wentz proceeded to drop a couple of duds to the […]

Marvin Jones Jr (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: One very bad thing happened on Week 4 for Marvin Jones Jr.: while he should have been elevated with Zay Jones (ankle) inactive, horrid weather and Trevor Lawrence's turnovers entirely killed his already diminished (just played 14 of 47 team snaps) upside. […]

Jaylen Warren (RB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jaylen Warren’s astronomical rise from irrelevance to coveted contingency option was launched during training camp and the preseason when Warren catapulted beyond Benny Snell Jr. and Anthony McFarland Jr. to emerge as the Steelers’ RB2. He has been efficient with his workload, while […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It isn’t always pretty, but the Giants are finding their groove on offense. That has meant that Daniel Jones has been able to produce a consistent floor in fantasy football. Jones has scored at least 12.0 fantasy points in every game this […]

Josh Reynolds (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Are we sure Josh Reynolds is not a legitimate (at least) fantasy player now? I mean, I know I am, but I'm just asking you all GMs managing out there. Reynolds and QB Jared Goff already shared the field in the Rams, […]

Evan Engram (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think we can really count Week 4 as something meaningful in any of the Jacksonville Jaguars skill-position players' track record this season. I mean, QB Trevor Lawrence was sacked a gazillion times, fumbled the ball four times, and only completed 11 […]

Randall Cobb (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I guess this is the closest we'll get to targeting a backup rusher once some leading RB1 gets banged up and is expected to miss time, only at the wide receiver position. Enter Randal Cobb (the "backup") and Christian Watson (the […]

Kenny Pickett (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Considering Kenny Pickett is just a rookie – albeit a first-round pick – who just got his first start this past weekend, things have not been that bad for him. Pickett got the field replacing Mitch Trubisky midway through Week 4 against the […]

Rachaad White (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: White has emerged as a focal point of numerous waiver wire discussions in recent weeks. He has not attained standalone value, but he has been entrusted with an increased role since Week 4. White only registered an 11% snap share from Weeks 2-3, […]

Alec Pierce (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Alec Pierce was able to break out last season for the Cincinnati Bearcats in fantastic stride with Desmond Ridder's phenomenal final college season, going for 884 yards receiving and eight touchdowns on 52 receptions over 14 games; not to mention his […]

Bailey Zappe (QB, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're like me and love watching teams and prospects outside of College Football's Power 5 conferences, then Bailey Zappe had you hardcore advocating for his Heisman candidacy last year. Though the one-year Western Kentucky QB ended up going 137th overall on draft […]

Trey McBride (TE, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trey McBride's 2022 NFL Draft stock fell a bit--likely due to being smaller than average at 6'4 (yet 260-lb.) and thus lacking the red zone threat of more traditional TEs. However, if you caught glimpses of McBride over the past three […]
