Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor Heinicke was tabbed the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders (over rookie Sam Howell) while Carson Wentz recovers from a thumb injury suffered in Week 6. After a slow start, it looks like Heinicke will keep the job for at least one […]

Sam Ehlinger (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Initially, this post was going to discuss Matt Ryan as a priority add this week because of the matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 8. Then this happened. Per source, Colts benching Matt Ryan, turning to Sam Ehlinger. Sam makes 1st […]

Cade Otton (TE, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As expected, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was the man slotted at the starting TE position with Cameron Brate (neck) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Brate didn't practice last week and stayed on the sidelines come kick-off […]

Noah Brown (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I was really interested to see how things shook out in Dallas this week since Dak Prescott was back under center. Where would the targets go? To Noah Brown, apparently, as his seven targets led the Cowboys. CeeDee Lamb is the No. […]

Wan'Dale Robinson (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's fair to assume it's happening: back-to-back weeks with 11+ PPR points from Wan'Dale Robinson (and good QB play by Daniel Jones!) are confirming the suspicions. Robinson is a legitimate fantasy player and should be on your WW radar at least for […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Donovan Peoples-Jones has been a constant presence in the bottom half of this column all season. His numbers have been solid this season—he wasn't going to win you a fantasy matchup, but in a 14-team league, there's value in someone who won't […]

Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Gus Edwards was a very effective runner prior to last year's ACL injury, averaging 5.0+ YPC across the first three seasons of his career. With J.K. Dobbins now on Injured Reserve, the Baltimore backfield will be handled by a committee approach in which […]

P.J. Walker (QB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: P.J. Walker performed admirably in his start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, completing 72.7% of his passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns with zero interceptions. The Panthers are expecting both Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield to practice next week, but Walker’s performance […]

Juwan Johnson (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this post after TNF and before Sunday's games. Although that clearly impacts the counting stats of the Cardinals/Saints that appeared in last Thursday's game, it is not that it changes things that much. I'm talking mostly about Juwan Johnson's 327 snaps […]

D'Onta Foreman (RB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In case you have missed the breaking news: the Carolina Panthers traded their no. 1 rusher (and fourth-best fantasy RB in PPR leagues) Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers for a handful of draft picks before Week 7 games. The aftermath […]

Tyler Boyd (WR, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 65% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We're at the point where Tyler Boyd's fantasy value gets a boost: bye weeks. I love having a guy like Boyd to help me get through byes because he has a consistent role on a good offense. And that's not to mention […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Chiefs have a bye next week, so Hardman can't help you immediately, but we can't ignore a player who scored three touchdowns this week, even if two of them came on run plays, something that's pretty fluky. Hardman's found the end zone […]

Rondale Moore (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  If you target waiver-wire players only basing those decisions on their most-recent outing, then you're going to find it hard to make sense of this post. That is, obviously, because Rondale Moore comes off his second-worst game of the season and one […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The New York Giants of all teams keep winning games in the NFL. Now, that's shocking. As is the freaking 6-1 record Big Blue is boasting with Week 7 already in the books. One of the main reasons the Giants have been able […]

Chuba Hubbard (RB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 8

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In case you have missed the breaking news: the Carolina Panthers traded their no. 1 rusher (and fourth-best fantasy RB in PPR leagues) Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers for a handful of draft picks before Week 7 games.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Kalif Raymod's season is easy to describe in just one word: evolution.

Week 7 had to be one of the toughest weeks for fantasy managers in recent memory.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 2: Jarred Vanderbilt, Dennis Smith, Lonnie Walker

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]
