Tee Higgins (WR, CIN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie QB Joe Burrow hasn't had the easiest of starts to his career. Cincinnati has been trailing more often than not, and that has forced the quarterback to throw the hell out of the ball every single week. That has translated in 110 […]

Chase Edmonds (RB, ARI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds are the only two players to share duties on Arizona's backfield. Makes sense, considering the team traded for stud WR DeAndre Hopkins and features mighty Kyler Murray at quarterback. The thing is, Edmonds has been the much more […]

Reggie Bonnafon (RB, CAR) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make things clear here: Bonnafon is the patch of a patch, so make sure you only acquire him if you can do so for absolutely-freaking-free or pass on him. With Christian McCaffrey down to injury, the Panthers were forced to play Mike Davis […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Finally, after four weeks, Minnesota could score itself a win. Bravo! Betting on the Vikings passing game is a tall order, I'm not going to lie to you there. Minny is built on the rushing game, and then just flashes some booming passing/receiving […]

Justin Herbert (QB, LAC) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: God bless the doctor who punctured Tyrod Taylor's lung. No, seriously, I hope Taylor recovers soon and everything is good with him, but had that not happened we might have gone through 2020 without watching Herbert at all, who knows? With Taylor out since […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, CAR) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Teddy B has surprised some folks, but he's been good to have Carolina at an even 2-2 through four weeks of play while not being bad at manning the offense from the pocket. While Bridgewater won't win you the league, he's been a […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, MIA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I've been telling you for a while now: without Jameis Winston in the active roster of starting quarterbacks, Ryan Fitzpatrick is the closest thing we have to a boom-or-bust player at the position. Is that great? No. Is it bad? Neither. In fact, and […]

Chris Hogan (WR, NYJ) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As ridiculous as it sounds, Chris Hogan is the only Jets' wideout to have played in all four games of the season so far in 2020. He's also the only WR to finish each of those matches with at least 51 snaps, logging […]

Jeff Smith (WR, NYJ) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jets are cooked. The Jets are cooked so bad. They are nothing but guaranteed a bottom-three finish this season and a top-three pick in the 2021 draft. And if that wasn't bad enough, they are losing players by the day, having to rely […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I already named Tim Patrick as one of my Waiver Wire targets for Week 4 seven days ago. Now, after having watched him play the Jets last Thursday, I'm here for the second consecutive week to convince you 99% of fantasy GMs about […]

Week 4 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Another week, and another six out of the top 10 defenses correct. Some of the top ones were gimmes, and I'm a little surprised by how the Chargers Defense laid an egg versus Carolina and the way the Bills Defense just seemed totally lost against the Rams in the second half. I'm happy I trusted […]
