Biggest Tight End Busts of 2021 - Fantasy Football Year In Review

The 2021 season was not kind to some of fantasy football’s top tight ends as not every highly-drafted TE put up the numbers Baltimore’s Mark Andrews did this season.

Top Rebound Candidates for 2022 Fantasy Football

Not every player had a great season in 2021. For every breakout like Dalton Schultz finishing as the overall TE3, there was a player who disappointed, like Tyler Higbee playing 15 games and only finishing as the TE14, or Cole Kmet playing 17 games and being the TE20. For some players who struggled, 2021 is […]

Improved Hitter K% vs. Power Production - Fantasy Baseball Risers

There are plenty of different ways for a hitter to improve at the plate. We see dozens of players every year who make huge improvements at the plate, and it's very important for fantasy managers to identify these hitters earlier than the field does. Sometimes these improvements can be driven by luck, sometimes by a […]

Aleksej Pokusevski: Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: The 17-39 Oklahoma City Thunder have had to lean on creativity and optimism for the future in managing their 2021-22 roster. Without the playoffs being in the cards for OKC, many of their budding talents have spent significant time honing their game […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/13/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday, RotoBallers. With the biggest sporting event of the year starting at 5:00 pm CT this afternoon, the NBA squeezed 10 games in yesterday along with two early-afternoon games today to avoid any overlap. The Wolves-Pacers game is the more appealing of the two from a DFS standpoint, holding the higher […]

Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Charlotte Hornets didn't light any fireworks this past trade deadline, but they did a very solid move in acquiring super-sub Montrez Harrell to bolster the big-men rotation while not losing that much going the other way. Montrezl will go from playing […]

Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: All eyes will focus on the additions of Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis. That's reasonable, but only because of the New Toy Bias. As real as it gets, brothers. Dorian Finney-Smith, on the other hand, has kept […]

Herbert Jones (SF/PF, NO): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of leagues ANALYSIS: We will see how things settle in New Orleans after their high-impact trades this past deadline, but for what it's worth and the little we've watched through Friday, things should remain the same (until Zion is back, at least) for rook Herbert […]

Brandon Clarke (PF, MEM): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: A lot of rumblings a few weeks back talking about the Memphis Grizzlies being sellers at this deadline turned out to be pure smoke. I mean, it could have made sense given Memphis has a freaking ton of players in a rotation […]

Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, DET): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're clearly not into 30+ minutes-per-game Hamidou Diallo anymore but after a little rough span of games from Jan. 21 to Feb. 3 in which Diallo could only average 20 MPG and even came off the pine twice in seven games, Diallo […]

Hassan Whiteside (C, UTA): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tons of folks out there disappointed by Utah and its deadline moves, which might be reasonable considering this franchise should be all-in while the Gobert-Mitchell pair is at the peak of its talents. Alas, no substantial moves happened other than adding Nickeil […]

Chuma Okeke (PF, ORL): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to properly assess Chuma Okeke--or any player, for that matter--if only because of the fact he's part of a completely broken team in the Orlando Magic's. That said, though, we have to acknowledge Okeke as a bona fide above-average player […]

Reggie Bullock (SG/SF, DAL): Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: My man Reggie has done it all for the Mavs. Point, two-guard, wing, you name it. Reggie Bullock signed with Dallas this past offseason after a nice regular season with the Knicks last year. Of course, the explosion of Jalen Brunson has […]
