BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'd be lying if I said that James Washington has been a top-tier performer in the 2021 NFL season. Far from it, actually.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: K.J. Osborn's rostership before W14: 3%; after W14: 38%.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is hard to get enamored of Ben Roethlisberger these days, even more, if you only pay attention to hot-take Twitter.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Seahawks backfield and running game has been struggling ever since Chris Carson went down this year.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If we know anything about Tennessee, then those two things are that 1) the Titans are coming off their Bye week this weekend and 2) Derrick Henry isn't coming back any time soon.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For the production Tua Tagovailoa is handing his fantasy GMs, it's rather surprising to find him rostered in fewer than half of Yahoo leagues these days.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This Sunday marked Logan Thomas' second game after his Week 4 injury just five snaps into that game.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is definitely just a move for those in the deepest of fantasy leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While K.J.

Jakeem Grant Sr. (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jakeem Grant Sr.'s season is just fascinating.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Just when we thought we had seen Russell Gage reach the apex of his 2021 season, he went on to put up his highest score of the year thanks to the Falcons losing effort against Tampa Bay this past Sunday. With Atlanta […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A new offensive coordinator did not do much to change Engram’s role or the fate of the Giants offense this past Sunday, but Engram has been steady if not spectacular over the last five games (17-146-2). The Giants have not been able […]

Kene Nwangwu (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tests revealed another torn labrum for Dalvin Cook and it appears he will be unavailable for the next few weeks, and even potentially into the fantasy playoffs.

Chuba Hubbard (RB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We can spend all offseason arguing about whether Christian McCaffrey is made of glass or if the Panthers are being too cautious with their franchise back but for now, fantasy GMs have to face the prospect of replacing him again. CMC was put on the […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The concept of securing Mattison as protection for your roster if Dalvin Cook were to be sidelined for any reason has been a consistent recommendation in this column for anyone who depends on Cook as their primary back.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (WR, TEN) - Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The de facto WR1 for Tennessee now, he did lead the team in receiving and snap share (83%) in Week 12.

Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville continues to have a bad offense, but Shenault is looking like the primary target on that bad offense, which has to count for something...right?
