BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before the start of the second TNF of the season between the Chargers and the Chiefs it made (some) sense to find Palmer rostered in fewer than 10% of all Yahoo leagues. Yes, Keenan Allen was expected to miss that game – […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You might like Jakobi Meyers and the New England Patriots more or less than any other person out there, but one thing is clear and that is that Meyers is the go-to weapon of the Patriots offense this season. So much […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I think it is safe to say that Gerald Everett has finally found a home with the Chargers. If you liked his 54 yards and a TD in Week 1, you were probably happy with the six receptions for 71 yards he put […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Conflicting games by Sterling Shepard in the first two weeks of the 2022 season, right?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It feels good to have Nelson Agholor back.

Matt Ryan (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We knew Michael Pittman Jr. was good. We didn't know he was the key to the entire Colts' passing offense.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A former No. 2 pick, Marcus Mariota has never been the type to boom in fantasy.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Brian Robinson’s emergence in Washington’s backfield rotation is still several weeks away.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: D’Andre Swift’s ankle injury did not preclude him from remaining involved in Detroit’s backfield rotation during the Lions’ Week 2 matchup with Washington.

Taysom Hill (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another year, another Taysom Hill discussion about adding him off the waiver wire.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 61% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Running backs who are rostered in at least 60% of current leagues are normally excluded from these WW posts.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Gainwell became the featured recommendation during last week’s waiver wire column, in anticipation of his expanded involvement in Philadelphia’s increasingly potent attack.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: White was the fourth running back to be selected during last April’s NFL draft when Tampa Bay selected him in Round 3.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Chargers' offense is as stacked with explosive runners and receivers as Buffalo Wild Wings is with chicken and sauces.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is hard to have predicted a better debut by Washington Commanders' new QB Carson Wentz: a top-3 performance at the position with 29.7 FP to the tune of four passing touchdowns.
