Rex Burkhead (RB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If something is clear in Houston, that is Rex Burkhead's role becoming more prominent each of the few past weeks: the rusher has gone from playing 24 snaps to log 35, 38, and lastly 42 in consecutive weeks from W13 through last Sunday. […]

Josh Palmer (WR, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie WR Josh Palmer, truth be told, wasn't much more than an afterthought prior to his Week 14 explosion. The Charged picked Palmer with a third-round selection, but only used in 197 snaps prior to that aforementioned W14 game. That means he […]

K.J. Osborn (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Vikings are a three-man offense built around the very talented Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen, and Justin Jefferson. Too bad for Minny, the first two couldn't feature (entirely in the case of Cook, partially in Thielen's case) as they would have […]

Isaiah McKenzie (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Buffalo Bills faced New England this weekend without any of their WR2 and WR3 guys available. That meant that Isaiah McKenzie was going to feature heavily for an Emmanuel Sanders/Cole Beasley-less Bills... and then some. Not only did McKenzie play a […]

Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're still alive in the playoffs, and need a boost entering the final game day of the fantasy season, I don't think you can find a tastier player than Allen Lazard at the wide receiver position still available in three of […]

Davis Mills (QB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: One thing has been made clear throughout the season: no quarterback from the 2021 class has played to any substantially good levels in their freshman campaign. It looked like the Patriots might have stolen the best passer of them all, but at the […]

Carson Wentz (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Can't argue about Wentz's downtick in production during the second half of the season. It is what it is, but it is also what has him available in more than half of Yahoo leagues and as a viable option sitting on the WW […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We're entering the once-last week of the season this upcoming slate, but the championship fantasy week in most leagues these days. It's not that with 16 weeks already on the books you can expect to find glossy, flashy players sitting in the […]

Ronald Jones II (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, it looks like Ronald Jones II is going to get his chance... again. Leonard Fournette has had an incredible season, but unfortunately is dealing with an injury that will likely keep him out for several weeks. After leaving last week's game with […]

Craig Reynolds (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The NFL is an unpredictable sport, and fantasy football is an unpredictable game. Exhibit A is Craig Reynolds, who has pretty much come out of nowhere to become a relevant running back for the Lions and fantasy managers. For the 2nd week […]

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week Austin Ekeler was dealing with an injury, so Justin Jackson received more touches than usual in the Thursday Night game against the Chiefs, racking up 13 carries for 86 yards. Firmly established as the number two running back on the Chargers, […]

Duke Johnson (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before this week-long slate of games, we had only saw Duke Johnson once playing for Miami--or anyone, actually. He did so back on Week 11 when he logged a ridiculously laughable six snaps for 1.8 PPR points against the Jets... and that's it […]

Jared Goff (QB, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know you want to hate me for telling you about Jared Goff. About Jared Goff as a potential WW target entering the fantasy-postseason semifinal, even! But the truth is, if you're part of a slightly deep league or happen to be part […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While the Dolphins definitely don't have the best receiving corps of the NFL, the truth is that Tua Tagovailo is making the most of what he can work with on a weekly basis. Even then, though, the second-year quarterback is rostered in […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: At this point through the season, with just two fantasy weeks to cross the finish line, you know how it goes with Marquez Valdes-Scantling and his upside. MVS is part of an offense in which he's been getting as many as a […]

Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It wasn't until recently that Gabriel Davis was recently used--and it took WR Emmanuel Sanders getting injured--but we're now looking at someone with bona fide WR3/Flex appeal weekly for the remainder of the season playing for a strong team and powerful offense. […]

Mac Jones (QB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The weather was so ridiculous in Buffalo two weeks ago (W13) that all Mac Jones did was attempt three passes (!), complete two of them (!!) for 19 yards (!!!), and finish with a total of minus-0.5 FP as he fumbled the rock […]

Jared Cook (TE, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The presence of Donald Parham Jr. in Los Angeles' roster has impacted Jared Cook's production all season long. That, also, affected the fantasy GMs' views of Cook's upside and his rostership, which is still bordering the 50% at the end of the […]

Davis Mills (QB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Shout out Davis Mills because he is definitively the second-best quarterback of the 2021 draft class only behind the Patriots' Mac Jones. Cold world, folks, but it is what it is. Mills got his starting gig because of a large cumulus of circumstances, but […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Three weeks in a row, folks. Three weeks of WR2 play (at the very least) coming from a guy that is not even rostered in a third of Yahoo leagues with three weeks (most probably just two in your fantasy league) of play […]

Brandon Bolden (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're still alive in whatever fantasy league you play at, and if you're still fighting for the championship, and most of all if you're looking into adding someone from the waiver wire, you better know it's slim picks these days around these […]

Jalen Guyton (WR, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not going to convince you of what Jalen Guyton is not: a bona fide oft-used WR. But let me at least build a case for Guyton's addition ROS, even more in deeper leagues out there with needy GMs trying to make […]

Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After missing Week 13 injured, Allen Lazard came back this past Sunday to take the field for the Packers against division-rival Chicago... and he couldn't have had a better return. Lazard had never dropped from playing at least 59% of the team's […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm glad I rooted for Amon-Ra St. Brown from day one. I feel vindicated. QB Jared Goff has been as bad as ever, yes, but somehow Amon-Ra has stayed above water more often than not. ASB is putting up numbers weekly […]

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Seahawks added living legend Adrian Peterson to the fold in time for Week 13, but the veteran could only feature on a low 16 snaps and then proceeded to miss Week 14 entirely while recovering from injury. Penny, who played 29 […]

Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After missing two consecutive games in the W11-W13 span, Fields came back to man the Bears pocket this past Sunday at Green Bay, and hey, he did more than enough to get back to most fantasy GMs (in deeper formats, that is) […]

Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Emmanuel Sanders was forced out of Sunday's affair with Tampa Bay just 25 snaps into the game, and Gabriel Davis was the next man-up boy in the Bills offense. And oh, boy, did he deliver the goodies taking on that WR2 role […]

Robby Anderson (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Odds are you either love or hate Robby Anderson with no middle ground to those feelings. Makes sense, all things considered, given his swings in usage, level of play, and fantasy upside while being part of a nonsensical team in Carolina. But […]

Rashod Bateman (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before we get started, let me tell you what happened last Sunday in a few words around the Ravens squad: Lamar Jackson got banged up and forced out of the W14 game. That, obviously, is supposed to impact Baltimore's wideouts if only […]
