Ian Kennedy Records 30th Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Ian Kennedy did it. He reached the 30-save plateau in his first season as the team's closer, and he once again reminded all fantasy owners to never pay for saves and don't ignore closers on bad teams. Kennedy has now recorded saves in five straight appearances while allowing a total […]

Alex Gordon Knocks In Two In Win

Kansas City Royals veteran outfielder Alex Gordon smacked a two-run single in the top of the fifth inning on Monday to tie the game and help the team eventually take the win.

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, NO) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: In the early days of 2019, no position has gone from "yeah, it's really deep" to "umm" faster than quarterback. Andrew Luck retired. Nick Foles broke his collarbone. Ben Roethlisberger's season is over. And in New Orleans, Drew Brees went down with […]

Jason Witten (TE, DAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm sure that a lot of people viewed Jason Witten's return to the Cowboys less as an indication that he was still a productive football player and more as an indictment on his failed broadcasting career, but in Week 2 we got […]

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.

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, […]

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.

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.
