Reshad Jones (IDP - S, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams IDP Leagues) Analysis: On the season Reshad Jones has 36 tackles (six per game), 1.5 sacks and one pick, which makes him a fairly decent option to consider if you are in looking for an IDP Safety option.  This past week, he had his best game on the season: nine […]

CAROLINA (CAR), DEF – Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams) Analysis: Coming off a great game versus the St. Louis Rams (four sacks, one INT, two fumble recoveries and one TD), they will be facing a Tampa Bay team who will not have Doug Martin.  I expect solid production for the Panthers defense as they feast upon the second-worst offense […]

Jeremy Kerley (WR, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Continue Monitoring (12 teams or less), Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ Teams – PPR) Analysis:  Each week Jeremy Kerley has received at least five targets except one (Week One with four targets).  This week it finally translated to solid production with eight catches for 97 yards and a TD.  I expect Kerley to finish the season with […]

Brandon Gibson (WR, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ Teams – PPR) Analysis: Over the past three weeks, Brandon Gibson has tallied 21 targets (seven per game) with 15 catches (71%), 185 yards and two TDs.  On the season, Gibson is averaging 54 yards on five catches per game. This averages out to about 10 points per game in PPR leagues.  […]

Terrance Williams (WR, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add Immediately (8+ Teams – Standard, PPR) Analysis: For the past couple of weeks I’ve specifically refrained from mentioning Williams because I saw him as a stopgap fill-in for Miles Austin. After evaluating this situation further I’m noticing the following: 1)Miles Austin is still not healthy, 2) Williams is playing better and better each week, 3) Dallas […]

Harry Douglas (WR, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add Immediately (8+ Teams – Standard, PPR) Analysis: Last week I failed to mention Harry Douglasin my waiver article, and although I’m a little disappointed I did end up picking him up in a couple of leagues.  However, now the secret is out and he blew up versus Tampa Bay.  He had seven catches for 149 […]

Roy Helu, Jr. (RB, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add in Deeper Leagues and All PPR Leagues Analysis: Helu likely will not match his three-touchdown performance again this year, but his role has increased over the past few weeks, touchdowns aside. He is the passing-down RB for the Redskins, as Alfred Morris has never been able to be counted on catching the ball. His touchdowns this […]

Mike James (RB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move: Add Immediately Analysis: With Doug Martin sidelined indefinitely, Mike James stands to be the feature back in Tampa for multiple weeks, if not the remainder of the season. James stepped into his new role in the third quarter and performed well enough, gaining 45 yards on 14 carries and adding three receptions for eight yards. His potential […]

Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in Deeper Leagues and All PPR Leagues Analysis: Jacquizz’s stint as the starting RB in Atlanta was extended last week as Steven Jackson suffered a setback in his recovery. While Jackson remains out, Rodgers, still available in about 50% of leagues, is a decent fill in option in standard leagues, and a near must start in […]

Terrelle Pryor (QB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move:  Add in All Leagues Analysis: Pryor comes off his BYE week facing a rejuvenated Steelers team which just held the Baltimore Ravens to fewer than 300 total yards.  Even though Pryor stumbled in Week Six against the stellar Kansas City defense, he was able to sneak out a decent performance thanks to his 56 rushing […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in Deep Leagues Analysis: Tannehill couldn’t lead the Dolphins to a fourth-quarter comeback against Buffalo in Week Seven, mustering only a couple of failed drives and losing a fumble when his team needed him most.  He still threw for 194 yards with three TD and two INT, and with a weak running game, the […]

Mike Glennon (QB, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stash in Deep Leagues Analysis: Mike Glennon faces a short turnaround this Thursday with a matchup against the Carolina Panthers and their fourth-ranked defense. He’s fared much better than expected so far, but the last two weeks he has also faced two teams near the bottom in passing defense.  Still, he kept the Bucs in the game against […]

Donald Brown (RB, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move:  Stash in Deep Leagues Analysis:  Ever since the Colts traded for Trent Richardson, everyone has been waiting for him to play to his potential and break out in a high-scoring offense.  Needless to say, that hasn’t happened yet.  Richardson has been decent, but still hasn’t mastered the Indianapolis playbook– and he can’t seem to find […]

Brandon Bolden (RB, NE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move:  Stash in Deep Leagues Analysis:  Brandon Bolden had another decent game this week for the Patriots, as Bill Belichick continued to use him throughout the game.  Even with Stevan Ridley back and running well, Bolden received plenty of work early, especially when the Patriots were in the hurry-up offense.  He continues to act as the third-down back […]

Mike Tolbert (RB, CAR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move:  Stash in Deep Leagues Analysis:  After a slow start to the 2013 NFL season, Mike Tolbert has been picking it up over the past couple of weeks.  In Week Six, Tolbert put up 18.70 points in fantasy leagues (PPR), getting involved in both the running game and the passing game and putting up two touchdowns.  This […]

Michael Cox (RB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stash in Deep Leagues Analysis: Michael Cox is starting for the Giants on Monday Night Football, and should be rostered in deep leagues.  If your league settings still allow MNF players to be picked up and you have a bench player you can let go of, it may not be a bad idea to make the […]

Chris Ivory (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move:  Add in Deep Leagues Analysis:  Everyone was excited about Chris Ivory signing with the Jets, since on paper he was the most talented running back on the roster coming into the season, and the Jets offense is always leaning on their running backs.  His injuries held him back through the first few weeks, and Bilal Powell was […]

Zac Stacy (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move:  Add in All Leagues Analysis: The fact that Zac Stacy is only 49% owned in Yahoo leagues is just craziness.  We already covered him in our Week Seven article, but it’s criminal that he’s still so underowned.  Stacy has emerged as the primary running back for the St. Louis Rams, and has clearly separated himself from […]
