Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this while looking at the list of eligible fantasy quarterbacks in Yahoo. As many as 15 are rostered in 75% of leagues or even more. It's slim pickings when it comes to quarterbacks, folks, so don't get too mad at Heinicke […]

Darius Slayton (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Something happened during the last seven days regarding the New York Giants. Going straight to the point: fantasy folks realized that Sterling Shepard, for the second consecutive season, is the receiver to roster among those playing for Big Blue--thus the rise in […]

FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/20/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Only seven of the 11 MLB games today find their way to the FanDuel main slate. The Royals-Cleveland matinee is understandably left off, but the other three games that start a half hour before everyone else were unceremoniously lopped off to give us a seven-game slate. In reality, they should have left it at ten. […]

Pitcher Advanced Metrics Studs and Duds - SIERA For Week 26

Welcome back to RotoBaller’s Statcast pitcher Studs and Duds article series! Each week I have selected an advanced stat, chosen two top performers and two under-performers, and analyzed what those stats could mean for future fantasy output. As the season winds down, I'll revisit one of my favorite metrics: SIERA.  SIERA is a great metric […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/20/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Monday, Rotoballers! It's hard to imagine in two weeks, we will know all of the 2021 postseason teams. So, while today doesn't offer us a full menu of games, seven is still plenty to enjoy. Because of a Royals-Indians double-header, there's an afternoon game to watch before the DraftKings featured slate begins. Our seven games […]

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is only one thing separating Tony Pollard from playing the RB1 role for the Cowboys: Ezekiel Elliott--the contract, not the player. Was it not because of his absolutely monstrous deal, Dallas will be more than happy starting and handing most of […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know, I know. I'm breaking the golden rule of not writing WW posts about players rostered in more than half of Yahoo leagues, but this one was just a no-brainer to include in this week's batch of targets. We focus on […]

Emmanuel Sanders (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After logging a very healthy 8 targets in Week 1 but only catching 4 of them, fantasy GMs out there blasted Emmanuel Sanders and the Bills as a whole. Now, one week later, and after another game in which he logged 6 […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, DEN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I just can't hate Teddy Bridgewater. Teddy B is what he is, but what he does he does perfectly. Forget about booming days, or spectacular performances coming from him. Bridgewater is a safe-first quarterback and that won't change at this point in his […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Back-to-back top-10 finishes? Not bad? QB1 status two weeks into the season? Sublime. All of that even while throwing the ball to a subpar group of pass-catchers? Fantastic. Derek Carr has always been a boring fantasy player and not the definition of […]

Maxx Williams (TE, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make something very clear: saying that Maxx Williams--or any Cardinals tight end, for that matter--is a vital part of Arizona's offense would translate to blatantly lying. It is what it is, folks, and we have to accept it as a true […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Call me crazy but... shouldn't we be seeing Tim Patrick, new Broncos WR2, rostered in many more than just 20% of Yahoo leagues by now? Remember, Denver lost Jerry Jeudy for a good chunk of the year already throwing him into IR, […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 26

As the 2021 MLB season enters its final stretch, many players continue to be shut down due to injury and/or innings limits. Injured players are beginning to run out of time to come back from the IL. This is the time of year to be extremely aggressive when dealing with injured players. With only one […]

Anthony Santander (OF, BAL) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: On the surface, it's been an underwhelming 2021 season for Santander. The 26-year-old slugger showed a lot of promise last year, smashing 13 doubles and 11 home runs in just 37 games before an oblique strain cut his season short. Fantasy […]

Leury Garcia (2B/3B/SS/OF, CHW) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's all about volume next week and Garcia will see plenty of at-bats as the White Sox play eight games. They begin the week with a three-game series against the Tigers in Detroit before heading to Cleveland for a five-game set, […]

Evan Longoria (3B, SFG) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: Longoria was putting together an excellent season before spraining his shoulder in early June, an injury that sidelined him for over two months. He was activated on August 14 and played in just five games before injuring a finger on his […]

Travis d'Arnaud (C, ATL) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Atlanta is one of three teams to play eight games next week so d'Arnaud checks the volume box for us. He's scuffled a bit lately, so his numbers don't look that impressive, but he's somewhat salvaged what would have been a […]

Luis Urias (2B/3B/SS, MIL) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 10+ teams ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: The week sets up nicely for Luis Urias and the Brewers. The 24-year-old infielder is putting together the best year of his career for the Brew Crew and should continue to put up even more production over the final full week […]

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 2

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books and true to form, the league's top cornerbacks held their receivers in check for the most part. James Bradberry limited Courtland Sutton, Marcus Lattimore shut down Davante Adams, Jaire Alexander locked up Marquez Callaway and Jalen Ramsey more or less took Allen Robinson out of the game. The wide receiver matchup […]
