The Cut List (Week 10) - Time to Let Go?

Week 9 was an all-around awful one for me from a fantasy/gambling perspective, so I'm a little ticked off as I settle in to write this week's edition of the Cut List. My starting QB in my primary home league, Justin Herbert, had a last-second touchdown taken off the board. Chase Edmonds logged 88 yards […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

Fantasy GMs are to be commended for rising to the unique challenges that have unfolded during this regular season. Injuries to critical players is an unwelcome reality that occurs every year. This is also the case for backs that were expected to operate as RB1s, but have been relegated to committees. However, this season has […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

Dez Bryant is back! But while the veteran receiver did return to an NFL roster this week, his complete lack of involvement means you won't find his name on this week's waiver wire pickup list. You will find some other names, though, if you're looking for non-Dez names! Not all options are the same. Some […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

Millions of fantasy football managers will be without their star tight ends this upcoming week, so finding a future fantasy force or a one-week stopgap at the position on the waiver wire has never been more important this season. Fantasy footballers will be without the top two tight ends in fantasy football this week.  Kansas […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 10

Week 9 has come and gone (minus Monday night's impending dumpster fire between the Patriots and Jets) and teams just keep hitting their offensive stride. After a slow Week 8, NFL offenses erupted once again with one 400-yard passer (Josh Allen) and 10 different 300-yard passing efforts. Additionally, two quarterbacks had four passing touchdowns with […]

Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

With the season now entering the stretch run, it’s important to grab and stash players who you could see serving as valuable depth. I mean, where did Richie James come from this week?!

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Typing Week 10 feels strange, but it's true -- we are hitting the home stretch of most fantasy football regular seasons! We had many COVID-19 scares but all games were played once again. Key injuries included David Johnson (concussion), David Montgomery (concussion), Justin Jackson (knee), Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring), Preston Williams (foot). Christian McCaffrey also seemed […]

Week 9 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Unlike Week 8, the weather was great in Week 9 and there were some shootouts. Four quarterbacks registered more than 30 fantasy points and three more exceeded 25 with Kyler Murray leading the way. At tight end Travis Kelce exploded for 159 yards finishing as the No. 1 tight end on the week and T.J. Hockenson finished […]

Dynasty Risers and Fallers: Midseason Update

Most teams in redraft leagues are still hoping to make a playoff run with smart waiver wire moves, players returning from injury, or just plain better luck.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: On this very Tuesday I'm glad I'm able to proclaim Jakobi Meyers as the latest New England's real deal, folks.

Starting Pitcher K-BB% Risers: Who to Believe In

The 2020 MLB season may have left starting pitchers with shorter starts and fewer total innings than usual, but arsenal adjustments and pitch improvements were still prevalent. As a result (and sometimes as a result of other factors), several pitchers saw significant changes in their strikeout and walk rates. K-BB% is one way to measure […]

2021 First Look Fantasy Values: Third Base

The baseball offseason may officially begin with the end of the World Series but the projections offseason began last Thursday night with the release of the first Steamer projections for 2021. Created and maintained by mathematics teacher Jared Cross and his former students, Steamer remains the industry standard for non-aggregated projection systems, as well as […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington's backfield has been a real mess all year long. Neither J.D. McKissic nor Antonio Gibson have played more than 55% of the team's offensive snaps, and while Gibson is averaging 13.2 PPR points per game to McKissic's 9.2, the Footies don't […]

Breshad Perriman (WR, NYJ) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know you don't want to have anything to do with the New York Jets and their offense. To make matters worst, the Jets are on their bye this week, which makes adding any of the NY skill-position players even a tougher act. […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Do you know what happens when a team returns from its bye, or similarly when a player comes back from injury?

Kalen Ballage (RB, LAC) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In his first game with the Los Angeles Chargers, running back Kalen Ballage saw a heavy workload, leading the team's backfield in their Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Ballage carried the ball 15 times for 69 yards and a touchdown. He […]

Jalen Reagor (WR, PHI) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In his first game back from Injured Reserve in Week 8, Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor was a key component of the team's offense. He had six targets in the game, which was second on the team to only Travis Fulgham. […]

Cam Akers (RB, LAR) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're looking for a potential running back flyer who could be a league-winner down the stretch, look no further than Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers. It's been a disappointing year so far for the rookie second-round pick while Darrell […]

Monday Night Football Matchups Analysis: Jets vs Patriots

After several fun and exciting Monday night matchups, we have gotten into the unfortunate part of the season. The Tampa Bay and Giants matchup seemed rough… but then the Patriots and Jets game entered the picture and I feel like none of us will be the same. If you are starting more than one of […]

Monday Night Football DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Patriots vs. Jets

Monday Night Football doesn't feature two heavyweights this week, unfortunately, as the 0-8 Jets play host to the 2-5 Patriots. However, that doesn't mean we can't gamble on it and I know you got else better to do on Monday night than to watch two bad teams battle it out in an AFC East grudge […]

PGA DFS Vegas Report - The Masters

There will be some changes this week for how I typically layout my Vegas Report. Major championships are incredibly challenging to recommend from a handicapping perspective because cards are built throughout the entire year, which leaves us in a precarious position on how to handicap the event from a suggestion standpoint. Releasing old plays won't […]

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, MIN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let me make something clear before we move forward: Minnesota's passing game and QB Kirk Cousins are, let's say, not volume-friendly. Cousins ranks 26th in passing attempts this season, and he's targeting his tight ends just 1.7 times per game compared to the […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The highest of Tim Patrick's hype-szn came in Week 4 when we finished as the WR7 to the tune of 23.3 fantasy points in a great game against the stupidly-bad Jets. After putting up a dud against Kansas City in Week 7, though, […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Betting on the Packers offense outside of Davante Adams or Aaron Jones takes guts, but here we are. Although those two have played just six games each, they lead the team's skill-position players in total PPR points and PPR points per game through […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Allen Robinson III the clear WR1 of the Bears, it's all about Darnell Mooney and Anthony Miller when it comes to getting that WR2 role and the opportunities that come with it. And nine weeks into the season, the under-the-radar-rookie Mooney has […]
