Matt Ryan (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a down week against the Panthers in Week 8 (146 passing yards with one touchdown and two interceptions), Matt Ryan got the passing attack back on track against the New Orleans Saints. Ryan threw for 343 yards and […]

Carson Wentz (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I’ve highlighted Carson Wentz in this space numerous times this season, yet he remains on 40% of waiver wires in fantasy leagues. The Colts’ quarterback has looked like a completely different player in Indianapolis than he did during his […]

Taysom Hill (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, SuperFlex /2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another week of Trevor Siemian is enough to drive doubt that Hill will have a significant role in the Saints offense this year but patience is required. Hill is a week removed from his return from concussion so Sean Payton […]

Pat Freiermuth (TE, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Freiermuth was my top tight end waiver pick heading into Week 9 and then hauled in two touchdown tosses from Ben Roethlisberger on a national stage Monday night, so he has to be No. 1 for the second week in a row. Freiermuth was […]

Ty Johnson (RB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ty Johnson continues to barely be rostered, but that should change. He saw only six touches in Week 9 but he did find the end zone on a fourth-quarter receiving touchdown. It was his fourth straight game with over 11 fantasy points. He […]

Eno Benjamin (RB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Week 9 was the James Conner show as Chase Edmonds suffered a high-ankle sprain in the first quarter, but Arizona won’t put everything on Conner’s shoulders moving forward. Benjamin stepped into Edmonds’ shoes as a complementary role to Conner, rushing the ball nine times for […]

D'Ernest Johnson (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Johnson’s availability has gradually increased since his statistical eruption in Week 7 (24 touches/168 total yards). That has created an enormous opportunity for fantasy managers who are searching for a starting option on this week’s waiver wire. Johnson operated as Cleveland’s workhorse back when […]

Adam Trautman (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Trevor Siemian now officially at the helm, the many weapons of the New Orleans Saints offense have had another opportunity to shake out their place in the workload, and it appears that second-year tight end Adam Trautman remains a part of that […]

Jamal Agnew (RB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars have started to form the semblance of winning ways, and a considerable part of that has been the reliability and versatility of 2017 draftee Jamal Agnew. The former All-Pro kick returner has continued his stellar special teams play so […]

D'Onta Foreman (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you didn't hear, Derrick Henry is slated to be out for quite a while, and he was a pretty significant portion of the Titans offense. In response, the Titans have made a few key additions to the backfield, and aside from signing Adrian […]

Elijah Moore (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took fantasy GMs all of one game--on Thursday Night Football, so the first to come on Week 9--to find the best WR of the week. Yes, I'm talking about Elijah Moore, and I feel for those GMs out there desperate for […]

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know I'm breaking the 50-percent-tops-rostership rule, but this well merits it. If only because of what is going on with Nyheim Hines this season in the fantasy world. No, I'm not talking about some of the shaky outings he's been through, […]

Baker Mayfield (QB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We're still stuck in the middle of the Bye-week portion of the season. While it is true that we're entering Week 10 and that not a single quarterback staying off the schedule is that great, if you're playing the QB-streaming game there are […]

Rashod Bateman (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It feels like I've been hearing about Sammy Watkins' upcoming return for three months already. Yikes. It's cool, guys, it's cool. We know he is (is he, though?) coming, yes, but that doesn't mean he will displace rookie WR Rashod Bateman has […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After the events that took place last week, this is now far from a desperate WW target and addition. The Browns finally moved on from Odell Beckham Jr. after they opted not to trade him prior to the deadline and he […]

Devonta Freeman (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I truly don't know if you can mess around with a backfield as much as the Ravens have done through the 2021 season of our Lord. As many as six rushers have featured for Baltimore, with their touches ranging between two (Trenton […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Not going to happen, but if the NFL declared the season over this very day, Teddy Bridgwater would finish as almost a QB1 through nine weeks of play. He ranks QB14 in total FP at this point, which you probably don't believe, but's it's […]

Mark Ingram II (RB, NO) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make things clear over here. Mark Ingram's spell in Houston: not very bueno. Mark Ingram's come back to New Orleans: fantastic if only because of the good old times! Now, don't get that wrong because Ingram and the Saints are what […]

Carlos Hyde (RB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The concept of adding Hyde to your roster has not evoked the same level of enthusiasm as other backs that have been contained in this column. However, his outlook has been altered in the aftermath of the heel injury that sidelined James Robinson. That […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilson was included in the weekly recommendations when he was expected to return from injured reserve in late October. The timetable for him to resurface has shifted to late November, but that does not preclude you from stashing him if you are […]

Boston Scott (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenny Gainwell’s rostership percentage rose from 21% to 66% during the past week after Miles Sanders incurred his ankle injury. Interest in attaining Scott was not nearly as robust, as a byproduct of his limited involvement prior to Sanders’ sudden departure. Scott had only registered […]

Jeremy McNichols (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues (PPR only) ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Derrick Henry was spotted receiving medical attention with his cleat off in the first half on Sunday but played out the game, only to have us wake up on Monday to news that he suffered a season-ending foot injury. We must […]

Adrian Peterson (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Yes, that Adrian Peterson. All-Day AP has been signed to the Titans' practice squad and will serve as the discount replacement for Derrick Henry. How much juice does the 36-year-old have left in the tank? He averaged 3.9 yards per carry for […]

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you remember, the Jaguars traded for Dan Arnold a few weeks ago and Arnold debuted for Jacksonville back in Week 4... only to put up a dud of just 4.9 PPR points against Cincy. All he could do back then was […]

Mike White (QB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Mike White put together a highly efficient NFL debut against a Bengals’ defense that has been improved throughout the course of 2021. White completed 37 of 45 passes (82%) for 405 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions. When all […]

Ben Roethlisberger (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ben Roethlisberger’s best days are clearly behind him, but he can still generate some solid fantasy statistics. Roethlisberger led the Steelers to a big win against Cleveland in Week 8, completing 64% of his passes for 266 yards and a […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 61% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The number of teams on bye the last two weeks likely forced Derek Carr to the waiver wire, and if that’s the case in your league, then you need to grab him immediately. Carr went into the bye week on a hot streak, […]

Tyler Conklin (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Conklin was added in 16 percent of leagues during his bye week, which is either a testament to what fantasy managers think of him or an indictment of the tight end crop out there on fantasy free agent lists. Minnesota’s top tight […]

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Uzomah was probably the most popular tight end on waiver wires last week as he was scooped up in 30 percent of leagues. His inconsistency is maddening, but he has five touchdowns and two 90-yard efforts over his last five games, so […]
