Early-Round Fades and Overvalued Studs

Entering 2021, there is a bit of recency bias in the early ADP as well as an overall sense of unknown entering 2021 as a whole in terms of what rules are in place, where players are going to hit in the lineup or even where many players will play and how that could affect […]

Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield finished as the top two quarterbacks in fantasy football this week after getting into a 89-point shootout.

Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been hard to trust anyone part of Baltimore's backfield this season. The Ravens have used all of Mark Ingram II, J.K. Dobbins, and Gus Edwards in a very even balanced through the year. Edwards has averaged 9.0 opportunities per game through W14, […]

Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Ravens and the Browns just put on a mad match and a serious contender for game of the season this past Monday. There were plenty of rushing touchdowns, sure, but Higgins was one of only two wide receivers (the other on Baltimore's […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Keelan Cole has been a bouncy play through the whole season; can't lie about that. But when Cole played under Gardner Minshew's orders it was when the wideout logged his best games, too. And if you know anything about Jacksonville, it is that […]

Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Realistically, Keke Coutee has only played four games this season (he logged a game played in W2 but he was on the field for just five snaps). In those four games, all happening in the last four weeks, Coutee has been forced to […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Just when we thought the week was over, Baker Mayfield came on Monday to extend the field of high-scoring fantasy players.

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 13: English Premier League

If you read last weekend's piece, you'll have seen I'm currently nursing a broken finger which is making typing more painful than it should be. Nevertheless, the process and research doesn't diminish, just the quantity of the write-up is a bit less. We still managed to bag two winners from our three picks at +131 […]

K.J. Hamler (WR, DEN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A career day for Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock in Week 14 also led to a breakout game from rookie receiver K.J. Hamler, who caught two of his three targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns. The speedy 5'9" Hamler has shown flashes […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Wilson Jr. is the clear No. 2 running back for the San Francisco 49ers and the gap between him and the team's No. 1 back Raheem Mostert is looking pretty slim right now. Over the past two weeks, Mostert has 23 carries […]

DeAndre Washington (RB, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back DeAndre Washington was the team's leading rusher in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Washington carried the ball 13 times for 35 yards. He also caught two of his four targets for 17 yards. Washington's rushing average in […]

Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With touchdowns in three straight games now, Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Gabriel Davis needs to be on fantasy radars in all leagues. Davis only managed 19 receiving yards in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was a big drop-off after he'd […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. (WR, MIA) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Give a man a chance, and he'll provide. Someone said sometime, probably. Anyways, Lynn Bowden Jr. is the man of the story here these days. The Dolphins have lost a gazillion players to injury lately, and Bowden has been put on a much […]

Ito Smith (RB, ATL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Ito Smith has not been as productive as he would like, the truth is that Ito Smith is Atlanta's no. 1 rusher these days in terms of the opportunities he's been handed weekly. Smith has out-performed both Todd Gurley and Brian Hill […]

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before you go ahead and try to add Tony Pollard to your roster, consider Pollard for what he's more than not: Ezekiel Elliot's partner-in-crime and no more than an RB2/replacement with random-week upside for more. That being said, Pollard has been great on […]

Cole Kmet (TE, CHI) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you just go by last game's results, then you'll be banking on Jimmy Graham for next weekend's fantasy slate of games. That makes sense, considering Graham scored more than 6 fantasy points for the first time since Week 9 while Kmet could […]

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, MIN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As great a thing as it'd be to have more than one (Travis Kelce) reliable tight end to play weekly in our fantasy leagues, that's not the truth. This is Kelce's world, and we just live in it. Other than the Chiefs stud, […]

A.J. Green (WR, CIN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't look now, but are we experiencing a veteran-WR renaissance led by the likes of T.Y. Hilton and A.J. Green? It's been three weeks in a row now for Hilton hitting 18+ PPR points, and A.J. Green joined him this Sunday with an […]

Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Russell Gage had a monster start to the year. The Falcons wide receiver played 69 and 82 percent of Atlanta's snaps on offense, finished W1 and W2 with 20.4 and 16.6 PPR points respectively (good for WR11 and WR20), but then proceeded to […]

Nelson Agholor (WR, LV) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The days of low-volume, high-efficiency Nelson Agholor are over. Agholor is not your boom/bust, four-target-or-less player anymore. The Raiders have made Agholor a fundamental part of their offense and it's been four games in a row in which the WR has logged 6+ […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 15

Despite Week 14 featuring a bunch of blowouts, quarterback production wasn’t anything special. Only three quarterbacks passed for over 300 yards passing. A bunch of quarterbacks were able to find the end zone through the air, however, with two players (one of which being Drew Lock) throwing for four touchdowns, two players passing for three […]
