Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: After starting his career with four straight games of efficient quarterback play, the past two have not been great for Carson Wentz. He’s thrown for a combined 307 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions with a 54% completion rate over that span. […]

Alex Smith (QB, KC) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Coming off a strong performance against the Saints in Week 7 in which Alex Smith throw for two scores, odds are his favorable schedule will once again lead to a solid performance at Indianapolis in Week 8. Indianapolis’ defense is surrendering 293.5 […]

Sam Bradford (QB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford was not good in his return to Philadelphia, completing 24-of-41 pass attempts for 224 yards and a touchdown, but the damage was done with three turnovers (one interception, two fumbles lost). He was constantly under pressure from an underrated Eagles […]

Jared Goff (QB, LA) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Case Keenum stunk yet again in Week 7, and there’s really no better time to transition to Jared Goff, the Rams' No. 1 overall pick, than during a bye week that grants you two weeks worth of preparation for a matchup against a terrible […]

Colin Kaepernick (QB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Colin Kaepernick’s arm was poor yet again against a Bucs defense that is known for making opposing quarterbacks look good, but Kaep only logged 143 yards passing on a less than 50% completion rate (16-for-34). Luckily, he was able to float his value with […]

Jay Cutler (QB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 5% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Chicago has a horrible date with the Vikings on Monday night in Week 8, and then they hit their bye week, but after that they’ll face the Bucs in Week 10. Hopefully Jay Cutler’s thumb is healthy by then, and he’ll be able to […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, NYJ) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 14- and 16-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ryan Fitzpatrick had become the laughing stock of the NFL over the past five weeks, which led to him getting benched at the end of Week 6. Geno Smith drew the Week 7 start, but subsequently hurt his knee on a sack […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Lance Kendricks hits his Week 8 bye with at least eight targets in each of LA’s last two games, and will come out of the bye to face a Panthers defense that ranks 29th in DVOA against the tight end. Sensing a trend here? Kendricks and […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: While it’s unlikely that C.J. Fiedorowicz dazzles in Houston’s Week 7 MNF contest against Denver’s defense, he has still tallied 20 targets and two TDs over his last three games. The usage is a fantastic trend to see, and his offensive coordinator said this week that C.J.’s role is […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues until Jordan Reed returns OWNED IN: 20% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Vernon Davis caught all six of his Week 7 targets against the Lions for 79 yards, and has now topped 10 points in 0.5 PPR leagues in each of the last two weeks with Jordan Reed sidelined. It has been reported that Reed is […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Cameron Brate has unfortunately only seen three targets in each of Tampa Bay’s last two games, but had garnered 18 of them across the previous two games. Bucs QB Jameis Winston needs Brate’s size and reliable hands over the middle and in the red zone, but he is more […]

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues until Dwayne Allen returns OWNED IN: 45% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Doyle stepped up in a major way in Week 7, as he capitalized on Dwayne Allen’s injury by catching nine of his 10 targets for 78 yards and a TD. With Allen banged up, Doyle will easily be one of Andrew Luck’s top targets […]

Dujuan Harris (RB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues if Carlos Hyde is out OWNED IN: 0% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Harris wasn’t the starter, that honor went to Mike Davis, but Harris ended up out-touching Davis 13 to 7. While Davis is the one who found pay dirt, Harris was clearly favored by San Francisco as the game wore on. This isn’t an […]

Peyton Barber (RB, TB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues if you own Jacquizz Rodgers OWNED IN: 1% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: This is for the desperate, but it’s pretty clear that Peyton Barber would be the beneficiary should Jacquizz Rodgers get hurt right now with Doug Martin’s recovery timeline unclear. Barber ripped off a late-game 44-yard TD to give him 84 rushing yards and a […]

Reggie Bush (RB, BUF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 16- and 18-team leagues OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Reggie Bush totaled 18 snaps to Mike Gillislee's 20 and Lesean McCoy's 24, punching in a one-yard TD on his one carry while adding a 13-yard catch on two targets. If McCoy misses extended time then it looks like Bush would be a decent deep-league PPR […]

Ka'Deem Carey (RB, CHI) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14- and 16-team leagues as a handcuff for Jordan Howard OWNED IN: 6% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Ka'Deem Carey looked a lot sharper than Jordan Howard in Chicago’s Week 7 embarrassment against the Packers, out-touching him 11 to 7 and tallying 35 more yards in all. Ka’Deem finally looks healthy and should get plenty of passing work in […]

Zach Zenner (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Zach Zenner scored a TD! He only rushed nine times for 29 yards, but he scored a TD! With the aforementioned Dwayne Washington likely to return in some capacity in Week 8, Zenner isn’t all that special on the WW. But those of you who are more skeptical can […]

Shaun Draughn (RB, SF) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 12- and 14-team leagues unless Carlos Hyde returns OWNED IN: 13% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Carlos Hyde is supposedly only missing one week, but we all know we need to be prepared for optimistic news like that to be wrong. Even if Hyde is okay for Week 9’s matchup against the Saints, they may not put the […]

Dwayne Washington (RB, DET) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10- and 12-team leagues if healthy OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Dwayne Washington and fellow Lions RB Theo Riddick seem to have ankle injuries that are much worse than Detroit has let on, but given that Washington was expected to play up until Sunday morning I’d say his Week 8 chances are pretty decent. A […]

James Starks (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-team leagues as we get closer to week 11 OWNED IN: 19% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: James Starks is the Green Bay running back that I’d be targeting. He likely has about four more weeks, but as of now he should line up to return for a fantastic matchup against the weak Redskins run defense in Week […]

Matt Asiata (RB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: With Jerick McKinnon’s ankle banged up, Matt Asiata totaled 18 touches for 80 total yards (12-55 rushing, 6-25 receiving) for some decent PPR value even on a day where he didn’t hit a short goal-line plunge. With Minnesota lining up to face Chicago’s subpar defense in Week […]

Knile Davis (RB, GB) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team leagues OWNED IN: 36% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Knile Davis should have a firmer grip on Green Bay’s playbook by next week, but I still would not be prioritizing him in any of my Waiver Wire queues or FAAB bids. He’s never been all that special, and I doubt Mike McCarthy sways from utilizing Ty Montgomery […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 37% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Devontae Booker has yet to play with Denver hitting the field tonight in Week 7’s MNF game against the Texans, but he’s trending up after he turned his five carries into 46 yards while catching both of his targets for seven yards in Denver's Week 6 Thursday matchup against the […]
