BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it is hard to trust Taylor Gabriel as a fantasy asset, the truth is that Chicago doesn't have a lot of weapons on offense as to not betting on him.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Darren Fells made it to this week's waiver wire pickups list of candidates just by a hair.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After putting up his best game of the year to date, Dallas Goedert is someone that is worth looking at from the waiver wire in deeper leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 fantasy football season, a big question regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers offense was who would take on that WR2 role.

Adam Humphries (WR, TEN) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: To find someone with Adam Humphries track record available in almost every league is a little baffling.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's be honest: moving from Marcus Mariota to Ryan Tannehill doesn’t sound exciting at all.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) is still yet to make his season debut for the team, but anyone in deep leagues struggling to find tight end production would be wise to add him now before it's too late....

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Look, I'm not saying that the Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray combination is destined to be the next Brady/Belichick, but it's undeniable that the Cardinals offense has improved greatly this season after looking atrocious last year, and one way you can tell...

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Raise your hand if you thought the New York Jets offense was an abject disaster before Sunday's win over the Cowboys. *waits* That's what I thought.

Darren Fells (TE, HOU) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For the first time in years, it's time to stop ignoring Houston Texans tight ends.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 NFL season, the rookie class was not seen as an overly talented class.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 season, one of my favorite late-round targets in fantasy drafts was Anthony Miller.

Darrel Williams (RB, KC) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: One of the more frustrating backfields in fantasy football this year, has been the Kansas City Chiefs.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: After jumping onto the fantasy football season in 2018, Chris Herndon showed that he is a weapon and had a nice relationship last year with Sam Darnold.

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Cowboys rookie running back, Tony Pollard has been quietly very efficient in his rookie campaign.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Many fantasy football owners drafted Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman with hopes of a resurgence.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: The San Francisco 49ers have shocked the world this year and currently are undefeated at 5-0.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2019 season, there was some debate on who would be the WR2 in Green Bay this year.

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is tough to make a case for Albert Wilson, but here I am.

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I learned something this past Sunday, and it is that bad teams are bad no matter who they face.

Benny Snell Jr. (RB, PIT) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is no better time to jump on Benny Snell Jr. than this week.

Ted Ginn Jr. (WR, NO) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Time flies. It’s been more than 10 years since Ted Ginn Jr. was drafted in 2007 by the Dolphins and he keeps grinding. Now in his third season with the Saints, it is normal that he has fallen in the dark a bit... Read More

David Moore (WR, SEA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Seahawks are a run-heavy team (they’re rushing on 48.4% of their plays, fourth-most in the league) but they’re also a highly efficient squad on the passing game. So far this season they rank second in yards per attempt (9.0), completion rate (72.5%)... Read More

Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Higbee is the most-established tight end in Los Angeles.

Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After injuring his hamstring, Kenny Stills has already missed two games and Keke Coutee has been the main beneficiary of it, slotting as the no. 3 wide receiver of the Texans attack.

Dante Pettis (WR, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dante Pettis wasn’t bad in 2018, but he wasn’t so good as to merit all the hype and praise he got this past preseason.

Joe Flacco (QB, DEN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody cares about Joe Flacco because Joe Flacco is one of the blandest players in the league, but in fantasy football, some storylines and playing trends don’t have a lot of importance. Actually, after moving from Baltimore to Denver, Joe Flacco has been his... Read More

Boston Scott (RB, PHI) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott saw his first action with the team this past week, carrying the ball four times for 30 yards.

Preston Williams (WR, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Preston Williams is exactly the type of player I love the make a living off during the season.

Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sam Darnold is finally back--or so he should be.
