Brandon LaFell (WR, CIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brandon LaFell has now scored four touchdowns in his last three games, with the 83 yards in Week 7 being his highest total since Week 1 (91). The bad news is that Tyler Eifert will only be another week healthier in Week […]

Justin Hunter (WR, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Sammy Watkins out for several weeks and Robert Woods hobbled, Justin Hunter has moved into a bigger role for the Bills. He was underwhelming in fantasy this week, catching only two passes for 25 yards, but he played a season-high 93% […]

Cordarrelle Patterson (WR, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cordarrelle Patterson caught all seven of his targets for 67 yards, including 14-yard, garbage-time touchdown. It is still nice to see him being targeted in the red zone, even if it was late in a meaningless game. Patterson now has at least […]

Marqise Lee (WR, JAC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee has been slowly but surely carving a role out in this Jaguars offense, and finally broke through this week. He caught 7-of-8 targets for 107 yards — all season-highs — as the Jags tried to get back within striking distance […]

Davante Adams (WR, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After spending most of the week in concussion protocol, Davante Adams was a catch machine this past Thursday. He caught a whopping 13-of-16 targets for 132 yards and two scores on the day, and was the main source of offense for the […]

Quincy Enunwa (WR, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Quincy Enunwa only caught two passes on Sunday, but he really made them count. His two receptions went for 73 yards, including a 69-yard touchdown reception from Geno Smith that Enunwa was able to break loose and take all the way to […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If for some reason Jamison Crowder is still unowned in your league, he likely won’t be after the waiver period ends. He has been a big part of the Redskins’ offense all season long, and capitalized on his opportunities this week. Crowder […]

Week 8 NFL Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Welcome to the post-Week 7 installment of the Waiver Wire weekly series for the 2016 fantasy football season. Hopefully none of you were overly reliant on the banged-up Jamaal Charles and LeSean McCoy, and now Tevin Coleman (hamstring) is looking very questionable for Week 8. Week 8 is heavy on the byes, with Baltimore, Los […]

This column is published early every week, and then updated on a daily basis. Over the course of each week, we also publish more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions.

Virgil Green (TE, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Virgil Green is still a block-first, catch-second tight end, so if he catches three or four passes a fantasy owner would be ecstatic.  If there is a Sunday for Green to stumble into a two-yard touchdown reception, it would be this weekend against San Diego’s banged-up […]

Jacob Tamme (TE, ATL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 54% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Julio Jones gets 100 targets to Jacob Tamme three every week.  That said, Tamme does historically better at the Georgia Dome than he does in road games, and with Atlanta hosting Green Bay this week, Tamme’s chances at snagging a TD pass skyrocket. Check out RotoBaller's famous […]

Erik Swoope (TE, IND) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Erik Swoope is one of the more unlikely fantasy football stories in 2016.  With starting tight end Dwayne Allen out with an ankle injury, and with Indianapolis’ No. 2 and No. 3 wide receivers also sidelined with injuries, this undrafted former basketball player has suddenly emerged as […]

Vernon Davis (TE, WAS) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues until Jordan Reed returns OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: If you believed Vernon Davis was just a one-week wonder when he filled in for the concussed Jordan Reed two weeks ago and caught a touchdown pass, then consider yourself the Dan Quinn of your fantasy league. Davis showed he was no fantasy fluke this […]

C.J. Fiedorowicz (TE, HOU) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Who would have thought that DeAndre Hopkins would end up playing second fiddle to C.J. Fiedorowicz?  The Texans’ top tight end has a favorable matchup against Detroit’s below-average pass defense, so six receptions for 55 yards and a score is not unreasonable. Check out RotoBaller's famous fantasy football draft […]

Lance Kendricks (TE, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: I know Lance Kendricks is on bye this week, and I know that his name has been mentioned in this column two times over the past month.  All that aside, Kendricks remains one of the best options at tight end on many league waiver wires because of […]

Tennessee Titans (DEF, TEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Titans may not have been great in Week 7 against the Colts, but they’ve been good overall this season and now get to pick on the Jaguars at home on a short week. The Titans’ defense entered Week 7 with the […]

New York Jets (DEF, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: The Jets aren’t good, but the Browns are worse. The Browns are even worse than that now, actually. Cody Kessler entered the concussion protocol in Cleveland’s Week 7 tilt, and his status for Week 8 is quite murky. That leaves Kevin Hogan […]

Running Backs Waiver Wire: Week 8 Pickups & Adds

Several hot players who were languishing on waivers just a week or two ago have now exceeded the 50% threshold for this column. Hopefully you took a chance on Jay Ajayi or Jacquizz Rodgers when they were available. Mike Gillislee is currently at 51%, so he won't get a write-up here, but remains a viable […]

Tight Ends Waiver Wire: Week 8 Pickups & Adds

Three fewer games equals six fewer tight ends for fantasy football owners to use this week. A half-dozen teams are on bye this upcoming week, so you would think the tight ends ranks would be decimated.  Luckily for fantasy owners, most of the tight ends that will be off have medium-to-no fantasy value.  The best […]
