BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Warren was signed as an undrafted free agent following the NFL Draft and ascended into relevance by seizing Pittsburgh’s RB2 responsibilities during training camp and the preseason.

Josh Reynolds (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Moment of silence for Amon-Ra St. Brown, who could catch eight targets for the first time in six weeks getting all the way back to Week 15 of the 2021 season. The Lions would have liked him to do it as […]

David Njoku (TE, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I shouldn't be writing this post because David Njoku's rostership is already above the self-imposed 50-percent limit, but we're here for a reason. A simple one, in fact: Njoku should be rostered – let alone, started – in more than 85 percent […]

Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been quite a wild start to the season for Tyler Boyd and the Cincinnati Bengals by extension.

Tyler Conklin (TE, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Will Tyler Conklin win you the league? Most probably, he won't. Will any member of the New York Jets do? Definitely not.

Trevor Lawrence (QB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It may have taken a year, but Trevor Lawrence is starting to look like the quarterback we thought he could be when he was selected first overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lawrence completed 28 of 39 passes for 262 yards and […]

Rachaad White (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: White does not deliver standalone value while Leonard Fournette is stockpiling touches as Tampa Bay’s workhorse back. However, White remains one of the top handcuff options due to his clear path to that same massive workload if Fournette would be sidelined for […]

Tyler Allgeier (RB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Atlanta’s fifth-round selection during April’s NFL Draft was entrusted with 17 carries during the preseason but was relegated to healthy scratch status during the Falcons’ season opener However, Allgeier has now accumulated 55 rushing yards on 16 attempts during Atlanta’s last two […]

Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Having a QB2-level performance tossing the ball to Chris Olave doesn't sound like a bad outing. Doing so while not having the likes of Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry for the full game--nor pretty much anybody else, for that matter – might […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Mattison’s name has many maintained a frequent presence in this column whenever his availability eclipses 40%. This is the byproduct of his proximity to a mammoth workload if Dalvin Cook is sidelined by an injury. That same scenario has transpired with far […]

Brian Robinson (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Robinson’s debut in Washington’s backfield has become increasingly imminent as the weeks advance. The progress of his recovery should be monitored but the promising rookie could emerge in the backfield rotation when the Commanders host Tennessee in Week 5. Robinson’s prospects of […]

Geno Smith (QB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Seahawks might not be in such a great position as their former QB could put them into, but current veteran starter Geno Smith has been much better than advertised. Smith, who overtook younger Drew Lock in the race for the QB1 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Man down! Man down!

Also: David Montgomery suffered […]

Samaje Perine (RB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Joe Mixon had entered Week 3 as the league leader in rushing attempts (46/23 per game) and was 10th overall in rushing yardage (139/69.5 per game).

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Reports indicate that Zach Wilson will be cleared to play starting in Week 4’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. There isn’t much reason to think he won’t reclaim his job from Joe Flacco after the first three weeks of the season. Flacco had […]

Jamaal Williams (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Williams had remained rostered in under 60% of all leagues until just hours before Detroit’s Week 3 kickoff, and it is surprising that he did not eclipse that percentage earlier this season. He is operating with a sufficient workload to justify deployment as […]

Marcus Mariota (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You can't name 12 quarterbacks better than Marcus Mariota.

George Pickens (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is taking Pittsburgh a little bit more time than we would have liked, but we're getting there.

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Irv Smith Jr. looks 100 percent and has managed to give fantasy managers 68 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets over his past pair of games. Smith Jr. is never going to pile up tons of catches and 100-yard games due […]

Noah Brown (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This season hasn't started the way the Cowboys probably wanted it to, as quarterback Dak Prescott is currently sidelined with a hand injury. But the shorthanded Cowboys handed the Bengals a 20-17 defeat on Sunday, with a lot of the credit going […]

Jahan Dotson (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Writing about Jahan Dotson as a great WW target ahead of Week 2 was something I expected. Doing so once more ahead of Week 3 is something I would have never thought I would be doing. Alas, fantasy GMs have yet to catch […]

Hayden Hurst (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know what you're thinking. "Why is this guy telling me to add a tight end from a team boasting the best trio of WRs in the whole NFL?" Well, there is a very simple reason, and that reason is precisely based […]

Raheem Mostert (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's time to believe. Raheem Mostert, even though widely rostered in Yahoo fantasy leagues, put up a dud in Week 1 scoring just 4.2 PPR points while appearing in just 25 snaps (42% of all Dolphins' snaps). It is not that the […]

Logan Thomas (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A little over two weeks ago, before the start of the regular season, there were serious questions about Logan Thomas' availability and fitness for the Commanders' first game of the season. Thomas was tagged as questionable leading up to the game but […]

Jared Goff (QB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is the second season of Jared Goff in Detroit.

Carson Wentz (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I wrote a post about Carson Wentz as part of my weekly WW coverage. I'm doing it again this week, and that only highlights one thing: fantasy GMs still don't trust Carson Wentz but they absolutely should. In other words: stop reading […]

Garrett Wilson (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Jets could have had the best offseason of all NFL teams. I'm dead serious.

Jimmy Garoppolo (QB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Bye bye, Trey Lance.
