Shonn Greene, Tennessee Titans - Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move:  Add in Deeper Leagues Immediately Analysis:  Greene may seem like an odd person to see here on the waiver wire sleepers list, as he hasn’t really done much for fantasy football owners in 2013.  But that may all be changing soon.  Coach Munchak announced today that he plans to give Greene “15 carries […]

Ben Tate, Houston Texans – Waiver Wire Pickup

Baller Move:  Add in All Leagues Immediately Analysis:  For the past few years, Tate has been widely regarded as one of the top running back handcuffs in all of fantasy football.  This year he came in with even more sleeper appeal, as Arian Foster started the season off with some injuries.  But this Houston running back situation […]

Waiver Wire Sleepers for Week 9

Below, I will highlight some fantasy football waiver wire sleepers for Week 9 of the NFL season.  In most fantasy football leagues, waivers run on Tuesday nights.  But there's still plenty of time to make waiver wire pickups, and as injury reports get released throughout the week new players should be targeted off your fantasy football […]

Mike Glennon, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baller Move: Stash in Deep Leagues Analysis: Mike Glennon survived his short-week matchup against the Carolina Panthers fourth-ranked defense, and now he faces an equally tough Week 9 matchup against the Seahawks.  The positive here is that the Bucs seem to be letting him air it out, calling for 51 passing attempts in Week 8, on which Glennon managed […]

Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals

Baller Move:  Add in All Leagues Analysis: Palmer has solidified himself as a QB1 in the Cardinals pass-happy offense. Although the Cardinals have a BYE in Week 9, Palmer is an attractive player to consider for the remainder of the season.  He has multiple weapons to exploit in Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Ellington, and he’s a proven passer with an ability to […]

Terrelle Pryor, Oakland Raiders

Baller Move:  Add in All Leagues Analysis: Pryor continues to fly under the radar as an above-average QB option.  Despite his mediocre passing game, he’s able generate plus numbers with his elite running ability.  His recent 93-yard run set a new record for longest ever by a QB, and his 106 yards total with a TD were his best […]

Brandon Myers, New York Giants

Baller Move: Continue monitoring Analysis; Myers played well in Philadelphia on Sunday, with three catches for 42 yards. This was his first decent game since Week  2 against Denver, a game in which he caught six passes for 74 yards. In Week 10, he will go up against the Oakland Raiders, who are allowing 241 pass yards a […]

Scott Chandler, Buffalo Bills

Baller Move: Add in deep leagues Analysis: Chandler was terrific in his most recent game, catching seven balls for a total of 72 yards. This is a huge leap in his production. Over his past two games, Chandler has only caught four passes for 65 yards. He has a tough matchup in Week 9, going up against the […]

Coby Fleener, Indianapolis Colts

Baller Move:  Continue monitoring Analysis: Fleener did not play this week with Indianapolis having a bye, but he had a strong performance in Week 7, catching five passes for 38 yards and one TD. This was the second receiving touchdown in his last four games played, and he is averaging 10.68 yards per catch on the […]

T.J. Ward (IDP - S), Cleveland Browns

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams IDP Leagues) ANALYSIS: Over the last three weeks, TJ Ward has been a beast with 27 tackles, a sack and five assists.  If you are looking for a safety, Ward would be a nice option for you to consider.  If he continues to play at this level, there aren’t […]

TENNESSEE (TEN), DEF

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (10+ teams) ANALYSIS: The Titans will be facing a Rams team that will be starting backup QB Kellen Clemens, who has a 51.8% completion rate with seven TDs and 13 interceptions for his career.  To give you a sense of how bad he could be, rumors have it that […]

INDIANAPOLIS (IND), DEF

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (12+ teams) ANALYSIS: In Week 7, the Indianapolis defense did a decent job of containing the No. 1 offense (Denver Broncos) with four sacks, a safety, an interception, and two fumble recoveries.  For Week 9, they will be facing the Houston Texans, who have had issues with the QB […]

Dexter McCluster, Kansas City Chiefs

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams PPR) ANALYSIS:  For those of you who are in PPR leagues, Dexter McCluster is a player for you consider.  For the past two weeks, he’s had 137 yards on 11 catches with 15 targets (73% catch rate).  Coming into the season, I anticipated that Andy Reid would find a […]

Tim Wright, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (12+ teams Standard, PPR) ANALYSIS:  Since the Josh Freeman era has passed in Tampa Bay, Wright has found a new friend in QB Mike Glennon.  Outside of last week’s dud (two catches for 15 yards), he’s had at least 9 fantasy points.  If you are in a Yahoo! league, Tim Wright is a player […]

Marvin Jones, Cincinnati Bengals

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (10+ teams Standard, PPR) ANALYSIS:  Outside of AJ Green, Cincinnati has been looking for the past couple of years for a solid #2 receiving option.  It looks like they may have found that in Marvin Jones.  For the past three weeks, he’s had at least one TD with six TDs total, […]

Donald Brown, Indianapolis Colts

Baller Move:  Stash in Deep Leagues Analysis:  With the Colts coming out of their bye in week 9, the running back situation is an interesting one that should be monitored.  Trent Richardson has been rather ineffective for Indianapolis, and hasn’t been running well over the past few weeks.  Brown on the other hand has been given […]

Brandon Bolden, New England Patriots

Baller Move:  Add in Deep PPR Leagues Analysis: The Patriots continue to utilize Bolden as an important running back in their offense, leaning on him in hurry-up situations and third-downs. Bolden’s strength is his hands, and the ability to catch passes out of the backfield.  And the Patriots have been using a lot of formations recently […]

Daniel Thomas, Miami Dolphins

Baller Move: Stash in Deep Leagues Analysis: Miami came out of their week six bye, and somewhat surprisingly decided that Thomas was going to be an important part of their weekly game plan going forward.  Many thought that Lamar Millerwould emerge as the clear-cut running back for the Dolphins, after the coaches made their bye week assessments.  But […]

Mike Tolbert, Carolina Panthers

Baller Move:  Add in Deep Leagues Analysis:  Tolbert is going to get some love again in week nine’s waiver wire, as he just keeps producing as the third-down running back for the Panthers.  In PPR leagues, Tolbert put up a solid 16.40 points last week.  He also racked up 9.60 points in week 7 and […]

Andre Ellington, Arizona Cardinals

Baller Move:  Add in All Leagues Immediately Analysis:  As the season progresses, Ellington’s running back role continues to grow within the Arizona offense.  Rashard Mendenhall continues to slip into fantasy football irrelevance, as he continues to be ineffective.  Ellington on the other hand is a young, fast, shifty, dynamic running back who can make plays.  On […]

Bryce Brown, Philadelphia Eagles

Baller Move: Stash in most formats Analysis: I have written up Bryce Brown a few times already this year, but in a slow week for RB waiver options, I felt Brown deserved reiteration. LeSean “Shady” McCoy is a phenomenal talent, but it is no secret he is susceptible to injury. While the Philadelphia offense is struggling with […]

James Starks, Green Bay Packers

Baller Move: Stash in deeper leagues Analysis: Starks is back from injury and had the opportunity to play backup to Eddie Lacy on Sunday night. He turned in solid production on his seven carries, notching 57 yards and a touchdown on a nice 25-yard dash through the middle. Starks is a very talented runner who several teams would kill to […]

Andre Brown, New York Giants

Baller Move: Stash in all leagues. Analysis: The long wait is almost over. Andre Brown will be eligible to start in Week 10. Still available in about 80% of leagues, the time is now to claim Brown off of waivers if you can. He is the lined up to be the starting RB in New York moving […]

Montee Ball, Denver Broncos

Baller Move: Stash in deeper leagues Analysis: Ronnie Hillman‘s late goal-line fumble last week against the Colts could have been both his undoing and Ball’s big chance. Montee Ball owners who were patient are now finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for Ball’s chances of contributing this year. Considering that Ball is now […]
