We’re just about a quarter of the way through the year, and we finally have enough data to start filling out trends this NFL season. So far, we have concrete evidence that the Bills are as good as we expected (if not better), but also the running back position is not as dominant as in... Read More

Is Hayden Hurst A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 5? Waiver Wire Outlook

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst had fantasy sleeper status heading into the 2022 season, but after drawing 21 targets through four weeks, he's becoming a trendy tight end waiver add.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Top-4 quarterback of the 2022 season through Week 4. Flex on your haters, Jared Goff.

Josh Reynolds (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last season Amon-Ra St. Brown grabbed all headlines with a ridiculous second half of the year playing for the Lions. That has been short-circuited this season as he's missed time, but that has only meant one thing: Josh Reynolds is now... Read More

Kenny Pickett (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Steelers kicked the season off with a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals and everyone from Pitt bought into that what-if.

Mike Boone (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Javonte Williams had rushed for 28 yards with his 10 carries in Week 4 before he sustained a torn ACL. That elevated Mike Boone into a rotation with Melvin Gordon for the remainder of Denver’s matchup with Las Vegas, as the fifth-year back... Read More

Rachaad White (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: White’s status remains unchanged, as he provides fantasy managers with the ultimate protection for your investment if you have secured Leonard Fournette on your rosters. White has only accumulated 11 carries, 21 rushing yards, and nine targets, as Fournette continues to function... Read More

Ryan Tannehill (QB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill has continued to provide a steady hand at the quarterback position despite the loss of A.J.

Corey Davis (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it is true that Corey Davis' 2020 season might have been a little bit of an outlier (he scored 2.08 FP per opportunity compared to 1.67 or fewer before), he wasn't that bad last season already playing for the Jets. Davis... Read More

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: First things first, here's hoping Tua recovers nicely from his injuries. He entered last Thursday's game having sustained a neck injury the weekend before and the sack-and-slam on TNF that forced him out of the game was the cherry on top of... Read More

Brian Robinson (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Robinson has been included among the weekly recommendations in this column for the past three weeks as his recovery from a shooting incident should soon reach its completion.

George Pickens (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have written about George Pickens as a WW target in prior weeks because he very well merited a mention back then. I mean, of course, that he merited highlighting his name all by himself and his lone efforts on a football... Read More

Jahan Dotson (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you think I shouldn't have written this post because Jahan Dotson got injured late on Sunday's game and didn't return, that's reasonable. I, personally, see this as a window of opportunity and perhaps the last chance you will have to add... Read More

Tyler Conklin (TE, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Conklin was not targeted as much by Zach Wilson as he was the two prior weeks by the aging Joe Flacco, yet he was able to manage three catches for 52 yards in the Jets' surprising win over the Pittsburgh Steelers... Read More

Zach Wilson (QB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I guess the New York Jets will never change. The Jets are the mediocre team you would have always guessed (2-2 record with four games in the books, the two victories by a combined five-point margin) but they finally got to start someone... Read More

Geno Smith (QB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although he started the season with a reasonably good QB13 performance but struggled after that, Russell Wilson put up a top-3 outing last Sunday for his new team this season. Of course, you would expect that because you had to pony up... Read More

Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The volume in Cleveland probably isn't consistent enough for Donovan Peoples-Jones to be an option in shallower leagues, but he's an ideal player for a 14-team league: a talented receiver who can do good things when he gets opportunities. Sometimes in a deep... Read More

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 62% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is, obviously, not the usual WW post you'll find weekly under my byline. Nyheim Hines is, first of all, a secondary rusher in his team behind a clear go-to running back in extraordinary Jonathan Taylor. Hines is also one of the most-rostered... Read More

Raheem Mostert (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Whenever some sort of committee pops up in an NFL backfield, fantasy managers lose sleep over it. It happens to the best of us. And it is happening in Miami with the duo of Raheem Mostert and Chase Edmonds sharing duties over... Read More

Jamal Agnew (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last year, the Jaguars converted Agnew from defensive back to receiver because they were desperate for pass-catching options. This year, they solved the pass-catching woes by signing a bunch of guys, so they weren't going to need Agnew nearly as much. Except,... Read More

Hayden Hurst (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it is true that Hayden Hurst needed the full game to reach his final fantasy core, at least he eventually got there.

Alec Pierce (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Look, we know how the Colts receiving corps goes. Every week, someone new emerges, and then the next week disappears.

Jaylen Warren (RB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Warren’s usage and production were unexceptional until his final season at the collegiate level, which combined with his status as an undrafted free agent to leave him largely undetected by the fantasy radar throughout most of the offseason. However, he continues to... Read More

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone has been dropping Mooney lately, and for good reason, as his best game coming into this week was a two-catch, 23-yard outing in Week 3. But Mooney finally had the kind of game you were expecting when you drafted him.... Read More

Deon Jackson (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to imagine that Deon Jackson becomes the early-down option for the Colts as long as Jonathan Taylor is out, which is unknown as of now. He is the only other RB on the active roster with a carry other than... Read More
