Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville has found a younger version of Marcedes Lewis in Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and not just because neither is good at averaging 10 yards per catch. A.S.J. hauled in a Blake Bortles touchdown pass in Week 2 and has back-to-back three-catch games to his credit to start the... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The rumors of Vance McDonald being the best fantasy tight end in Pittsburgh have been squashed after Jesse James busted out for 138 yards and a touchdown this past weekend against Kansas City’s charred secondary. James ran rampant and had the best game of his... Read More
We begin our ridiculously early look at the 2019 fantasy baseball landscape with two of the bigger breakouts of the 2018 season. Trevor Story has gone from a barely top-100 asset to a potential MVP candidate, returning tremendous value to anyone who drafted him in March. Ronald Acuna Jr. should probably win the National League's... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is of course still suspended next week and as previously stated his job may be in jeopardy, but in two-QB leagues or deep leagues where waivers are thin for quarterbacks Winston isn’t a bad stash. For his... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold didn’t have a great fantasy performance and made his share of mistakes in this game, but he has shown promise in the first two weeks of the season. His 334 yards were a product of volume since... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has entered full-on Fitz-Magic mode, shredding the defending Super Bowl champions in Week 2 for 402 yards and four touchdowns. Miraculous hot streaks are practically an annual occurrence for Fitzpatrick, and while it’s foolish to expect this... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles was impressive in Jacksonville’s 31-20 win over the Patriots on Sunday, throwing for 377 yards and four touchdowns. It's one of the best games Bortles has ever played in the NFL. This was also a coming out game... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It appears Qunicy Enunwa has established himself as the WR1 in New York, but should we just default to Robby Anderson as the WR2? After Week 2, we may have more questions than answers about Anderson. Terrelle Pryor had eight targets against the Dolphins in... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bengals offense appears to be clicking again as Cincinnati has scored 68 points in two games to start the season. A.J. Green is back to being a top end WR1, Andy Dalton doesn’t look incapable of playing quarterback and even though he will mis a couple... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Still not a huge fan of Ted Ginn because of the pass catching options around him, but somehow, he has continued to fend off Tre’Quon Smith as the WR2 while Cameron Meredith has been out. Can he keep that up if or when... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I didn’t include Geronimo Allison last week and I had a lot of questions as to why. Aaron Rodgers injury was one of the reasons along with a huge performance from Randall Cobb that continues to solidify his place as the Packers WR2. As the running game... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Goodbye Josh Gordon and hello Antonio Callaway. I have been touting Callaway since before the combine. The talent was there, and in my opinion, he was the second most talented wide receiver in this draft behind only D.J. Moore. It was his off-field issues... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We spent all off-season trying to decide if Mike Evans was a bust or if Chris Godwin was going to breakout or how the backfield would work out, that we completely forgot how good DeSean Jackson can be when he is healthy. I guess Ryan Fitzpatrick is helping everyone with... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: How Keelan Cole hasn’t reached 50% ownership is beyond me. If you follow me on Twitter or read my work, I am even more disappointed in you. I’ve been telling you since last season that Cole was going to be the WR1 in Jacksonville and... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyrod Taylor did not have a stellar performance in Week 2 (246 passing yards one TD, one INT), but he outproduced other QBs outside the top-14 like Alex Smith, Case Keenum and Derek Carr. If you stream the QB position, at least you know... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper caught all five of the passes aimed his way and might be carving out a role for himself finally. The fact that he also caught a touchdown is even better for those looking for TE depth. He... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You wouldn't be blamed for doubting if Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Bucs were for real, but it's still a shock to see that wide receiver Chirs Godwin saw his ownership barely climb after last week, especially when DeSean Jackson was questionable to play. Even with... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen is a good addition in deeper leagues. With Kenneth Dixon (knee) out of the mix for several weeks, Allen will stay busy on passing downs and short-yardage plays. He had a very Buck Allen-like day with five catches 36... Read More
A poor turn of phrase--and a racist comment--on "Monday Night Football" cost legendary broadcaster Howard Cosell his career in the 1980s. And rightly so. He claimed later that he had been caught up in the emotion of a big play. And while we can't excuse the phrase he used--or accept his excuse--we can relate to... Read More
Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to... Read More
Welcome back golf fans! I hope everyone enjoyed the break last week. Hopefully the start of football helped to curb your PGA DFS withdrawals. We are back in action for the TOUR Championship and the stakes don't get much higher. After an entire PGA Tour season and the FedEx Cup playoffs, we are down to... Read More
Six quarterbacks have put up 30-plus fantasy points thus far in Week 2 (prior to Sunday Night’s game), Ryan Fitzpatrick is on pace for 6,552 passing yards (Peyton Manning owns the all-time record with 5,477), Patrick Mahomes has tossed more touchdown passes (10) than any QB in NFL history through the first two weeks, cancer... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: All in all, Dansby Swanson's season could be characterized as rather pedestrian. Over the last two weeks he has failed to hit a single home-run while producing a sub-par slash of .143/.279/.229 in 35 AB, contributing to his season OPS of .705. Despite this,... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: It may not exactly be a banner-year for the five-time Gold Glove award-winner, but Alex Gordon is finishing the last two months of the season on a strong note amidst a slew of slams and steals. He has accrued five homers and eight stolen... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Although 2018 has been a largely up-and-down season for Scott Schebler, he has hit an excellent stride since the beginning of September, as he has managed to hit three HR with a slash of .273/.373/.500 over 44 AB. He has still been striking out... Read More

What an exciting Week 1 - one of my favorite opening weeks in recent memory. We got to see a rare tie, a seven hour game, a shootout, and some good defensive battles. Even crazier, more than half of survivor pools are already eliminated after the Saints and Lions lost. Week 1 also leads to... Read More
