Shane Vereen (RB, NE) – Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move:  Stash in All Deep Leagues Analysis:  Vereen still has a cast on, as he continues his recovery from a broken wrist, but he may be back by week 12.  Vereen has only played in one game this year, but it was quite a game.  After a lot of pre-season hype, Vereen didn’t disappoint […]

Brandon Bolden (RB, NE) – Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move:  Stash in Deeper Leagues Analysis:  When looking for deep league running backs to add to your fantasy football team, it’s always a good idea to scout the third-down backs, especially if you’re in a PPR league.  The Patriots don’t have a dominant offense this year, and are looking for production from just about […]

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

Baller Move:  Add in Deeper Leagues Analysis:  Helu is currently only owned in 18% of Yahoo leagues, which makes some sense as he’s not the lead running back for the Redskins.  But he is still getting some playing time behind Alfred Morris, and is taking advantage of his limited opportunities.  Helu is also the third-down back […]

Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, ATL) – Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move:  Add in All PPR Leagues Analysis:  While Rodgers may not be the best long term solution for you at running back, he may be a solid week 7 option.  Steven Jackson has been sidelined with an injury since week 2, and it looks like he still won’t be ready for week 7 action even […]

Zac Stacy (RB, STL) – Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move:  Add in All Leagues Analysis:  Zac Stacy isn’t necessarily a deep league pickup, because he should simply be owned in ALL leagues including shallow ones.  How is this guy only owned in 40% of Yahoo leagues?  That’s just crazy.  Although he hasn’t really been tearing up the stat sheets, Stacy has emerged as the lead […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE:  Week 7 Matchup Play ANALYSIS: We’re going out on the limb recommending Eli, but his matchup against the 1-4 Vikings is a prime opportunity for him to breakout of his slump.  Eli had the Giants in the game until the final minutes last week, with much credit going to the revived running game that saw Brandon […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Week 7 Matchup Play ANALYSIS: In only his second year, Tannehill is displaying the consistency you would expect from a seasoned veteran.  The Dolphins offense runs through him– in five games, he’s thrown the ball at least 34 times and has had at least 236 yards in each game.  With the exception of one poor game against […]

Nick Foles (QB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS:  The best thing going for Nick Foles in his Week Seven matchup is that he’s playing the Cowboys, who are second in the league in points scored per game at 30.5.  The Eagles are fourth in points scored, averaging 27.7 points per game, so it's very likely that this game will turn into […]

We already gave you our week 7 running back waiver wire pickups for standard leagues.  But in this space we will highlight some more NFL running backs that need to be considered on the week 7 waiver wire for deeper leagues, or running backs that are still just being overlooked in fantasy leagues.  For those who play […]

DeMeco Ryans (IDP - LB, PHI) – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams IDP Leagues) ANALYSIS:  In Week Five, DeMeco Ryans had a terrible game against the Giants.  But in Week Six, he responded with his best game of the season– 12 solo tackles.  On the season, Ryans has 40 tackles, 11 assists, and a sack, which averages to nearly […]

GB , DEF – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (14+ teams) ANALYSIS: This week, the Packers will be facing a Browns team that has surprised this season.  However, Brandon Weeden is back at the QB helm, he and threw two picks that cost him the game last week.  I expect that OC Norv Turner will stress at practice this week […]

MIN, DEF – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (10+ teams) ANALYSIS:  Eli Manning is having a terrible season.  His offensive line cannot protect him and he is throwing interceptions at an epic pace (15 so far).  I expect the trend to continue this week with Minnesota.  Unless Manning decides to stop pressing this week (which doesn’t seem likely), I […]

Mario Manningham (WR, SF) – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Continue monitoring ANALYSIS:  Last week, I mentioned that the San Francisco WRs have been struggling.  The good news is that they have reinforcements coming in soon in Mario Manningham and Michael Crabtree.  This year, Manningham has been out due to an ACL injury.  Coach Harbaugh has indicated that Manningham will start practicing as he continues his […]

Jarrett Boykin (WR, GB) – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Continue monitoring (12 teams or less) Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams) ANALYSIS: As stated above, Green Bay is facing some WR depth issues with Randall Cobb and potentially James Jones out.  The next man up at Green Bay is Jarrett Boykin.  He saw immediate action and targets (six) this past week, but clearly was rusty/nervous as he […]

Kris Durham (WR, DET) – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams PPR) ANALYSIS: When Nate Burleson went down to injury, the speculation began that Ryan Broyles would be the beneficiary, but that hasn’t quite panned out as anticipated.  Instead, Kris Durham has taken over the role.  In the past two weeks, Durham’s had 21 targets, 11 catches, 113 yards and a TD.  Matthew Staffordhas utilized […]

Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams Standard, PPR) ANALYSIS: As the Giants continue to stink it up, the trade rumors begin to swirl about what will happen with Hakeem Nicks.  If they move Nicks, Randle’s value will rise substantially.  This recommendation is very much based on speculation, but I have a good hunch on […]

Chris Ogbonnaya (FB/RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stash in Deep PPR formats. Analysis: Ogbonnaya’s performance against the soft Lion’s D is most likely just a bump in the road for McGahee’s total usurpation of the Browns’ run game. That said, anytime a running back see’s 12 targets in the pass game, he is worth keeping an eye on in PPR formats. The […]

Joseph Randle (RB, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stash in deeper leagues, potential bye-week fill-in. Analysis: DeMarco Murray is expected to miss at least one week, meaning Joseph Randle is most likely in line for a start against the sub-par Eagles D. Lance Dunbar is struggling with hamstring problems at the moment, but should he be healthy, he could be a change-of-pace obstacle in the way […]
