Derek Carr (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints aren’t having the best season, but Derek Carr is still airing the ball out and putting up empty yards (which is perfectly fine for fantasy football). The veteran quarterback has three games with 300+ yards passing, including each of his […]

Miami Dolphins Defense (D/ST) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Make sure to check your waiver wires for the Dolphins defense.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jonathan Mingo has yet to have that one big game, but his snap share, route participation, and target total indicate that the game is coming. He left Week 3 early due to a concussion, but in Weeks 1-2 and Weeks 5-6 […]

Should I Pick Up Emari Demercado? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

Déjà vu (noun): a feeling of having already experienced the present situation. Fantasy managers are likely thinking, wait, we've been here before. Emari Demercado was the hot commodity of the waiver wire just two weeks ago and he ended up being a complete dud. That is true. If the rookie was dropped due to his […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I was high on Cooks coming into the season and through six games (the Cowboys were on bye in Week 7), Dallas played very few "normal" games. They've played just one game that finished with a score differential of 10 points or […]

Should I Pickup Dalton Kincaid? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

Experienced fantasy managers know to always hold onto rookies, especially a player like Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid. The Bills selected Kincaid with the 25th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and Buffalo actually moved up to draft the big playmaker. It was only a matter of time before the rookie broke out […]

Should I Pickup Devin Singletary? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

When the Houston Texans signed running back Devin Singletary, not many people thought much of it. But after six games, the veteran back continues to eat into Dameon Pierce's workload.  Pierce has not been the workhorse that all fantasy managers imagined coming into the year, and that is due to Singetary's involvement on offense. The […]

Devin Singletary (RB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The recent avalanche of developments that have impacted the running back landscape might have obscured the significant rise in Singletary’s involvement during Houston’s Week 6 matchup with New Orleans. The fifth-year back had been averaging 21.2 snaps, 6.8 attempts, and 23.8 rushing […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: He was a waiver wire darling last week, but the team opted to go with Damien Williams as the lead back. However, this past weekend they moved back to Demercado. He led the team's backfield in snaps, playing 53 of the team's 66 […]

Is Saquon Barkley Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley suffered an elbow injury during Week 7's game against the Washington Commanders.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kareem Hunt came into the Browns' Week 7 game nursing a hamstring injury.

Is D.K. Metcalf Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf didn't play in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals due to a hip injury. It was the first game that he missed in his NFL career due to an injury.

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 8 (2023)

This week, I am recommending more than a dozen fantasy IDP players to add from the waiver wire. Amongst the top adds are Za'Darius Smith, Camryn Bynum, Kenny Moore, and Julian Blackmon. The Colts have produced multiple productive defensive backs this week. Unfortunately, JuJu Brents left his Week 7 game with a quad injury, so […]

Is Roschon Johnson Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Chicago Bears rookie running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) first suffered his head injury on Thursday night football in Week 5 against the Washington Commanders. Johnson left the contest pretty early after playing just six snaps in that game.  18 days later, and the rookie is still in the concussion protocol. Johnson missed Week 6 and […]

Should I Pickup Taysom Hill? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

New Orleans Saints offensive weapon Taysom Hill finished as a top-10 tight end for the second straight week. Hill, who is listed as a tight end for fantasy purposes, makes plays running the football, catching passes, and throwing passes. He doesn't always get a lot of touches, but when he does, he pops. Last season, […]

Is Bijan Robinson Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has been one of the most impressive rookies of 2023. Going into Week 7, he was the RB8 in terms of PPR scoring. However, those managers who started Robinson were surprised when he was barely used in the Falcons' victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He finished the game […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

The underdogs were the talk of the NFL town in Week 7. Seven teams pulled off an upset creating a chaotic week for Pick 'Em pools. Looking ahead to the (hopefully safer) Week 8 slate, there are no teams on bye. NFL schedule makers, in their infinite wisdom, threw in a week when all teams […]

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was spotted wearing a brace on his knee during the game against the Miami Dolphins.

George Kittle Leads Team In Receiving Monday Night

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle continued his roller-coaster pattern of fantasy production in Monday night's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota. He turned his seven targets into five catches for a team-leading 78 yards receiving and added two yards on one carry. It was a welcome sight for fantasy managers who stuck […]

Jauan Jennings Sees Career-High Nine Targets

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings was targeted a career- and team-high nine times in Monday night's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota. Jennings, 26, has spent his three-year NFL career no higher than WR3 on the 49ers' depth chart and has broken 10 fantasy points just twice. He hauled in five passes […]

Brandon Aiyuk Catches Five Passes In Loss

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk hauled in five of six targets for 57 yards in the team's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota on Monday night. While he didn't leave fantasy managers completely hanging, it was a bit of a disappointing performance considering the context. Minnesota came into the game with mediocre […]

Christian McCaffrey Breaks NFL Record Monday Night

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey set the NFL record for the most consecutive games with a touchdown, including playoffs, at 16 in the team's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota on Monday.

He […]
