Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Taylor Heinicke has put together consecutive solid passing performances which firmly puts him on the radar of players to add at the quarterback position. Heinicke’s first start against the Giants' disappointing defense was one thing (336 yards and two touchdowns […]

Zach Wilson (QB, NYJ) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues, 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It has been ugly through three games for Zach Wilson and the Jets offense. New York hasn’t scored a touchdown in two weeks. During that time, Wilson is rocking a rough zero touchdowns and six interceptions. Things look disjointed on […]

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It looks like Carolina’s Sam Darnold reclamation project is a raging success so far. Darnold has at least 275 passing yards in all three of his games with the Panthers. He’s also got three passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns, and just one […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Raiders are a surprising undefeated team in the NFL at the moment and it is thanks to Derek Carr throwing up ridiculous numbers week in and week out. Carr has attempted at least 37 passes in each of the Raiders’ wins. […]

Trevor Lawrence (QB, JAX) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 61% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trevor Lawrence has been a turnover machine through his first three starts, throwing seven interceptions compared to five touchdowns for Jacksonville. Lawrence hasn’t looked like the can’t miss prospect he was billed as, but Urban Meyer and the Jacksonville staff keep dialing […]

Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 56% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After two consecutive duds to start the season, Gesicki is back in the good graces of my fantasy footballers after his 10-catch, 86-yard effort against Las Vegas this weekend. Fill-in starter Jacoby Brissett has a history of heavily targeting his tight ends, […]

Dalton Schultz (TE, DAL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Schultz has outplayed tight end teammate Blake Jarwin this year and was the best pass-catcher on the field during Dallas' Monday night destruction of division rival Philadelphia. He hauled in a half-dozen Dak Prescott passes for 80 yards and a pair of touchdowns. His numbers will […]

Dawson Knox (TE, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have been beating the drum like Travis Barker for Knox since the start of the season, and he again is one of the top tight ends available on fantasy waiver wires. He has scored touchdowns in back-to-back games and has cemented […]

Sammy Watkins (WR, BAL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Funny how Watkins is getting more passes thrown his way in Baltimore - the team with the lowest number of passing plays last year - than he ever did in Kansas City. Watkins has seen eight, seven, and seven targets in his […]

DeSean Jackson (WR, LAR) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sure, this game came against a banged-up Buccaneers defense, but we can't ignore that DeSean Jackson did DeSean Jackson things. Not many players can post 120 yards on just three receptions like Jackson, and it was really interesting to see that he […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Courtland Sutton's stakeholders weren't too thrilled, Patrick rewarded those who added him on waivers yet again. He didn't score a touchdown but he did come away with a team-high 98 receiving yards. Jerry Jeudy is still out and K.J. Hamler is going to miss […]

Emmanuel Sanders (WR, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sanders had gotten a fair amount of targets the first two games with 14 but had a lowly 42.9% catch rate.

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Fantasy football’s top tight ends remain unscathed through three weeks of the NFL regular season. Travis Kelce, Rob Gronkowski, T.J.

Fantasy managers have not had to worry yet about injuries, COVID cancellations or byes decimating their rosters at the tight end […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups- Week 4

Another week of NFL football is almost in the books and once again scoring was held relatively in check. Only six teams were able to able to surpass 30 points scored across the league despite several matchups that should have had shootout conditions. Through three weeks, it would seem that defenses benefitted from the return […]

Take one look at the fantasy football corner of any social media platform, and you’ll find no shortage of people who have the entire NFL figured out after just one or two games.

Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It was a slow start in Week 3 for the Cardinals, but the team eventually got it together and finished their third-straight game with at least 30 points scored. With Kyler throwing the football, there's going to be a lot of yards available […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

We routinely gather in this space for a rapid reaction waiver piece so you can get a jump on the action to come, but I'd like you to take a moment and think of Mike Tagliere and his family first. In case you missed it, a titan of our industry passed away this weekend. Tags […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR) OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Beasley was targeted 13 times in Week 3. It was the second time this season he had 13 targets, and he turned them into 11 catches for 98 yards. Josh Allen finally looked like Josh Allen this week, and the Bills' offense was unstoppable […]

Jakobi Meyers (WR, NE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We finally got to see some of what made Meyers a solid fantasy option down the stretch last year: volume.

Tony Jones Jr. (RB, NO) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jones generated 1,481 rushing yards during his final three seasons at Notre Dame (2017-2019). He was later signed as an undrafted free agent by New Orleans. He only was involved in five offensive snaps last season. However, his effectiveness during the preseason […]

Royce Freeman (RB, CAR) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Freeman was the eighth back to be selected during the 2018 NFL Draft (3.07), but his career trajectory was hardly favorable during his tenure with Denver. He finished second to fellow newcomer Phillip Lindsay in attempts (130/9.3 per game), and yardage (521/37.2) during 2018, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilson was mentioned as a waiver add on a repeated basis during the final weeks of the 2020 regular season as he presented managers with a critical resource that could help propel their teams to league championships. Now, he can be stashed […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR) OWNED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: McKissic was only targeted once during Washington’s season opener, failed to register a reception, and carried just one time. However, his target share rose from 4.8% to 13.7% in Week 2, as McKissic collected five of his six targets and generated […]

Peyton Barber (RB, LV) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You may not have the same fervor for pursuing Barber from this week’s waiver wire that you will for the most popular options that remain available. However, he will accumulate rushing attempts and accrue rushing yardage while Josh Jacobs contends with his lingering ankle […]
