A.J. Brown (WR, TEN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We'll start off right away with the disclaimer: The Titans have a slow-paced, run-first offense led by an inaccurate and injury-prone quarterback in Marcus Mariota. Rookie A.J. Brown, a second-round pick this spring, caught three passes for 100 yards in his NFL... Read More

Randall Cobb (WR, DAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's the first time in his career that Randall Cobb isn't in a Packers uniform. However, his new offense might be just as good of a situation for the converted college quarterback. Through two games, Cobb has been his same old efficient self,... Read More

Preston Williams (WR, MIA) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 2% owned ANALYSIS:Most people will scoff or just outright bust a gut laughing at the simple mention of picking up any Miami Dolphin right now. But this undrafted free agent might actually turn out to be their best pass-catcher. With the team constantly playing from behind,... Read More

James Washington (WR, PIT) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 team leagues OWNED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: James Washington just became one of the highest priority waiver wire adds with the news that Ben Roethlisberger's (elbow) season is over. His new quarterback Mason Rudolph is an old friend from Oklahoma State and the two have already shown off their well-established... Read More

D.J. Chark (WR, JAC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: The 22-year-old product from LSU didn't do much with Blake Bortles at quarterback in his rookie season, catching only 14 passes for 174 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games. Through two games in 2019, though, D.J. Chark is just three catches... Read More

Nelson Agholor (WR, PHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Nelson Agholor's value on the waiver wire depends entirely on the injury outlook of the rest of Philadelphia's receivers. Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) were both hurt, playing a combined 17 snaps before exiting the ball game. With them out,... Read More

Demarcus Robinson (WR, KC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had himself a game in Week 2, catching all six of his targets for 172 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Raiders Defense just seemed unable to contain Patrick Mahomes' deep ball, and that... Read More

JJ Arcega-Whiteside (WR, PHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-plus team leagues OWNED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: JJ Arcega-Whiteside was a popular name during training camp and the preseason, impressing coaches with his work ethic and production. But when the regular season began he became a forgotten name behind Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson and Nelson Agholor. Then Sunday night... Read More

Deebo Samuel (WR, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I might be wrong but I consider myself one of the very few believers in this 49ers team. Most projections put San Francisco under the Rams and Seahawks in the NFC West and didn't give the 49ers more than seven wins all season... Read More

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Back in Week 1, when Tyreek Hill left the game injured, we all looked at the Chiefs' depth chart looking for answers to fill the hole that his absence would open in the offense. It wasn't hard to pencil the No. 1 contender... Read More

Danny Amendola (WR, DET) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Week 2 was certainly a letdown after Week 1's emergence, but Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola still presents some value in PPR leagues going forward. In Week 1, Amendola led the Lions in both targets (13) and receptions (7) while compiling... Read More

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There aren't many players in the NFL as solid as veteran wide receiver Cole Beasley. He might not be as sexy as other options out there, but if Beasley does something, it's producing on a weekly basis. Yes, he finished 2018 as the WR53,... Read More

Marquise Goodwin (WR, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: The San Francisco 49ers offense came alive in a big way in Week 2, totaling 313 passing yards and 259 rushing yards in the team's 41-17 win over the Bengals.

Danny Amendola (WR, DET) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team PPR leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Believe it or not, Danny Amendola was tied for third in the NFL among receivers in Week 1 with 13 targets. Matthew Stafford looked his way early and often, and Amendola came down with seven catches for 104 yards and a touchdown... Read More

D.J. Chark (WR, JAC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As a rookie, Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark had 14 catches for 174 yards and no touchdowns. Sunday against the Chiefs, he ended up with four catches for 146 yards and a score. Nearly doubling your career receiving yard mark in one... Read More

Terry McLaurin (WR, WAS) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Virtually every NFL team has a wide receiver who can be considered fantasy relevant, but things in Washington were such a mess entering this season that no one seemed to have any idea which receiver -- if any -- would be the... Read More

Marquise Brown (WR, BAL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues OWNED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Very few expected much from Marquise Brown in his regular season NFL debut in a run-first offense, especially since he had missed some practices and preseason games while recovering from a Lisfranc foot injury. Not only did he look fully healthy, but Brown... Read More

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While there's still not much clarity on the Tyreek Hill injury situation, we do know that Hill is set to miss at least some time, leaving the Kansas City Chiefs fairly light at the wide receiver position. There's Sammy Watkins, who was the... Read More

Devante Parker (WR, MIA) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker has been the definition of inconsistency throughout the first four years of his NFL career. There've been flashes of brilliance followed by weeks of complete irrelevance. But is there reason to believe this year could be different?... Read More

John Ross (WR, CIN) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: John Ross was largely overlooked as a fantasy asset this offseason, despite Cincinnati's thin wide receiver depth chart and a large potential workload with A.J. Green on the sidelines. Since being selected ninth overall in the 2017 NFL Draft, Ross has been... Read More

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

The NFL season is almost here, as it kicks off on Thursday night when the Packers visit the Bears. For a lot of y'all, you've already finished your draft and you're probably sitting with a roster that you are increasingly unhappy with. Here's a useful bit of information: You don't have to wait until Week... Read More

Sammy Watkins (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~67 Overall Current ADP: ~90 Currently, Sammy Watkins is barely a tier-five WR in our rankings with an ADP around 90. All of this while being the number three receiver on a Chiefs team that will have the undisputed QB1 of the league at the helm. Production is coming, whether you... Read More

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall Current ADP: ~100 The hype surrounding Kyler Murray is real. Everybody is buying into Arizona's fast-paced and bombing offense under Kliff Kingsbury. Oh, and Larry Fitzgerald will keep burning defenses as he has been doing for the last gazillion years. Some things never change. Who are we trying to lie by... Read More

Marvin Jones (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall Current ADP: ~95 Marvin Jones ranks 26th in the last three-year span among receivers in PPR points, but last year he could only finish WR46. That's enough reason for most owners out there to fade him in drafts. Of a potential total of 48 games since the start of... Read More

Robby Anderson (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall Current ADP: ~70 One year ago, Robby Anderson was being selected at the onset of Round 8. His ADP was the byproduct of optimism that he could perpetuate his late-season momentum from 2017 when he averaged 98 yards-per-game (Weeks 8-13) and accumulated 941 yards. But Anderson failed to build upon that... Read More

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAC) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall Current ADP: ~80 Dede Westbrook has not engendered the level of attention that other trendy targets such as D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Chris Godwin have captured in recent months. However, the third-year receiver's desirable blend of speed, acceleration, and dependable hands should be utilized more effectively than at any other... Read More

Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall Current ADP: ~100 Curtis Samuel has been the subject of a surging stream of expectations during recent weeks. The topics have included his improved route-running, his favorable foot speed, and his unchallenged explosiveness. The enthusiasm escalated after his training camp performances, as he demonstrated his ability to blaze beyond defenders... Read More

Demaryius Thomas (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~220 Overall Current ADP: ~250 ANALYSIS:  This pick is probably more “gut call” than verifiable evidence. The 32-year-old is coming off his worst season as a professional and also tore his Achilles tendon in the second to last game of the season – ironically the same injury suffered by former teammate Emmanuel Sanders.... Read More

John Brown (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall Current ADP: ~145 ANALYSIS: As an elite deep threat, John Brown is one of my favorite Best Ball targets, but one that is really worth a roster spot in all leagues. For starters, John Brown is not simply a deep ball threat, as Matt Harmon has been trying to point out for... Read More

Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall Current ADP: ~85 Christian Kirk generated nearly 3,000 receiving yards during his three years at Texas A&M (2,856) while averaging 78 receptions and 8.6 touchdowns-per-season during his collegiate career. That provided the motivation for Arizona to deploy the 47th overall pick on Kirk during the 2018 NFL draft. Kirk's... Read More

Courtland Sutton (WR, DEN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall Current ADP: ~70 Denver’s projected distribution of targets among its arsenal of wide receivers is more nebulous than the majority of franchises. The 6’4”, 216-pound Courtland Sutton enters his second season with an opportunity to seize the Broncos’ WR1 responsibilities. His primary competition for targets appeared to reside with fellow... Read More

Jamison Crowder (WR, NYJ) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~170 Jamison Crowder is currently the WR55 in RotoBaller's PPR rankings. He has an ADP of around 170 and experts are drafting him at an average overall position of 142. All of this for someone who has racked up the 37th-most PPR points since 2016 and has produced... Read More

Randall Cobb (WR, DAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall Current ADP: ~240 We're a little bit separated from Randall Cobb's best season, which came in 2014. Back then he was able to catch 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns and finished the year as the WR6 in PPR leagues rivaling the likes of Odell Beckham and Julio... Read More

Devin Funchess (WR, IND) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

I have to admit that my relationship with Devin Funchess in fantasy terms is one of love and hate. I can't help but see a player with a lot of upside being totally overlooked on average by every owner out there. At the same time, there are some glaring concerns in his game that can... Read More

Terry McLaurin (WR, WAS) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target With Final Pick In Draft Current ADP: ~310 I am a professional sports bettor, which sometimes gets a negative connotation from those who don't understand what I do. The general public would consider my job as a luck-based activity that presents potential dangers and pitfalls, but I would describe my profession in... Read More

Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall Current ADP: ~190 One player that is getting hardly any love this year in drafts, is Tre'Quan Smith, the second-year wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are one of the most prolific passing teams in the NFL, and Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara can't get all of the targets. In... Read More

Jamison Crowder (WR, NYJ) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~135 Overall Current ADP: ~150 Coming over from Washington after an injury-marred 2018 campaign, Crowder can be described as a route technician out of the slot and has the ability to be an asset to fantasy owners in Jet green. Having played in 47 out of his first 48 games in... Read More

Anthony Miller (WR, CHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~135 It is rare that you can get a late-round wide receiver with the talent to jump to the top of his team's depth chart. The player who currently sits atop the Chicago Bears pecking order, Allen Robinson, is three years removed from his "breakout season" without... Read More

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Miami Dolphins are going through a lot of change heading into 2019. They released former quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Frank Gore, and head coach Adam Gase. They have also notably brought in two new quarterbacks in Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, and welcome a rookie head coach in Brian Flores. One thing that... Read More

Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Heading into the 2019 season, a lot of hype surrounds the Cleveland Browns. Most of this hype revolves around second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield and his likely progression from a season ago, as well as the recent addition of Odell Beckham Jr. to the roster. The Browns finished 2018 with a record of 7-8-1, which was good... Read More

Donte Moncrief (WR, PIT) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Donte Moncrief signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason and immediately jumped onto the fantasy football radar. He spent the 2018 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending the first four years of his career as a member of the Indianapolis Colts, the team who drafted him. Wide receiver is easily the deepest position... Read More

Justin Watson (WR, TB) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target In Final Round In Deep Leagues Current ADP: Undrafted It was actually a toss-up for me in coming up with a deep sleeper wide receiver for Tampa Bay with Watson and teammate Scott Miller, but I ultimately settled on Watson as he's farther ahead right now and more likely to see meaningful snaps this... Read More

Chris Conley (WR, JAX) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~260 Overall Current ADP: ~300 Marqise Lee is still not practicing at Jaguars' training camp. That leaves the team with a top-three receiving group of Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark, and Chris Conley. Keelan Cole seems to be a pretty distant fourth of the healthy guys. Terrelle Pryor's going to be cut unless Lee starts the year... Read More

Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Tre'Quan Smith of the New Orleans Saints is primed for a breakout campaign in 2019. While many expected him to produce much more than he did as a rookie, we have to remember that it sometimes takes players a year or two to adjust to the league. While he is currently listed as the number... Read More

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a dynamite sleeper at the wide receiver position in 2019 fantasy football drafts. His current ADP is hovering around the 130 mark, which translates to him being taken as the number 49 wide receiver off the board. This is an absolute steal. Valdes-Scantling had a tremendous 2018 rookie campaign as far as... Read More

Five Very Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers

Sleepers sleepers sleepers sleepers. With fantasy football season in full swing, I know you're already tired of the word "sleeper," especially when people will basically use the word for any player. "Yes, dude in my fantasy league, please tell me more about your big sleeper pick for this year, Saquon Barkley." Clearly, there's a need... Read More

Michael Gallup (WR, DAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall Current ADP: ~160 While Amari Cooper, Ezekiel Elliott, and Dak Prescott get all the attention, Gallup could emerge in his second NFL season. In his 2018 rookie campaign, Gallup averaged 5.4 yards after the catch, which placed him in the top 23 percent of the league. He also had an aDoT... Read More

N'Keal Harry (WR, NE) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~100 When the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin reported that Harry “struggled to get open” during New England’s mini-camp, the overreaction that ensued was borderline nonsensical. The word “bust” quickly emerged on Twitter, and Harry’s ADP shifted downward. But any challenges that Harry encountered during his initial mini-camp... Read More

DaeSean Hamilton (WR, DEN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~165 Daesean Hamilton entered Week 14 with anemic season-long numbers (8 targets/5 receptions/ 61 yards). But the torn Achilles that ended Emmanuel Sanders’ season in early December propelled Hamilton into a significant role. He played in 95.5% of the Broncos’ snaps from Weeks 14-17 and led all rookies... Read More
