Joe Flacco (QB, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Matchup Play in 12 Team Leagues ANALYSIS: Flacco is in line to have a massive passing game in a shootout this week against the strong Green Bay offense.  Factor in that the Packers are the 25th-ranked passing defense, and this looks like a truly great matchup.  Flacco is coming off consecutive 269- and 347-yard performances that […]

Terrelle Pryor (QB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues ANALYSIS: Pryor is an adequate passing QB whose running ability incrementally raises his fantasy value.  Even though he is near last in passing attempts with barely over 100, his 8.13 yards/attempt are top-10, which tells you that the Raiders coaching staff is utilizing the running game to maximize their passing […]

Geno Smith (QB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting (1 QB Leagues) / Matchup Play (2 QB Leagues) ANALYSIS: Smith follows up a masterful performance against the Falcons with a surefire letdown game against the 0-4 Steelers.  When you look past the upset win, you’ll see that the Jets didn’t ask much of Smith.  He did throw for three TDs on 16-for-20, but […]

Charles Clay (TE, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately ANALYSIS: Clay has been a monster for Miami this season, catching 23 passes for 297 yards. He has caught touchdown passes in each of his last two games. In last week's game against the Ravens, Clay averaged 17.3 yards per catch, and he is averaging 12.9 per catch for the season. There's […]

Heath Miller (TE, PIT)

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues ANALYSIS: Miller was good in Week Four against the Vikings, catching six passes for 70 yards, following up a Week Three three-for-35 performance.  That gives him nine receptions on 12 targets for 105 yards over his last two games.  It looks he starting to play well and is recovering […]

Garrett Graham (TE, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12 Team Leagues ANALYSIS: Graham struggled against the 49ers, only catching three passes for 15 yards. This was a bit of a shock, considering how well he had played in the previous week against Seattle, catching five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown. More importantly, Owens is out for 4-6 weeks […]

Tyler Eifert (TE, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Eifert has played great for the Bengals, and in his last game, he caught five passes for 53 yards against New England. He will face a Buffalo squad that’s allowing 261.4 pass yards per game, which is a juicy matchup.  Eifert has had just one bad game, which came […]

Mike Goodson (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Watch/Stash in deeper leagues. Analysis: The Jets are back to a full-blown running back committee. I strongly believe Mike Goodson is head-and-shoulders above his teammates in terms of talent and natural ability. His previous role in the return game is a plus. Goodson ran for 32 yards on just three carries in his season debut […]

Willis McGahee (RB, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in all leagues. Analysis: Surprisingly still available in most leagues, McGahee finally seems to have learned his new offense enough to be effective and handle the load. In a year with so few reliable RB situations, Old Man McGahee is worth owning as the feature back in Cleveland. He put up a respectable line […]

Bryce Brown (RB, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stash in all leagues. Analysis: If you can spare the bench space, there are few players with more potential upside than Bryce Brown. I mentioned him earlier in the season, but as he is still available in about two-thirds of leagues, I feel strongly enough about him to repeat it. Chip Kelly loves to run […]

Marcel Reese (RB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move:  Stash in deeper leagues/All PPR leagues. Analysis: I mentioned Marcel Reece earlier, and he once again becomes worth a look this week for most owners, as he is still available in over 90% of leagues. Furthermore, Rashad Jennings left the game in Week Five after suffering a hamstring injury, and his status is up in the air […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stash in all leagues Analysis: I mentioned Ellington last week as someone to keep an eye on in the event he could win the confidence of his coaching staff over struggling teammate Rashard Mendenhall. He took yet another step towards accomplishing this in Week 5 by tallying 52 yards on just 7 carries. He also had […]

Zac Stacy (RB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Add in all leagues Analysis: Stacy got the start in Week Five against Jacksonville and managed 78 yards on 14 carries (5.6 YPC) before being knocked out with a minor rib injury. He is expected to start next week, albeit in a tough game against Houston. The St. Louis running back situation has been a […]

Vontaze Burfict (IDP - LB, CIN) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Immediately (10+ teams IDP Leagues) ANALYSIS:  Burfict so far is having a fantastic season with 33 tackles, 17 assists, 1 sack and 1 TD.  Over the past three weeks he's turned it up 22 tackles and 11 assists.  If he continues this pace he will certainly pass his last year rookie […]

STL , DEF - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (14+ teams) ANALYSIS: I'm going to go out an a limb with STL again this week.  Why?  They are facing a Houston offense who has four straight pick-six games in a row.  This has caused a QB controversy- will Schaub start or Yates?  Either way, I'm picking STL and […]

PHI, DEF - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (10+ teams) ANALYSIS:  Philadelphia is not a great defense (31st out of 32), but they are facing rookie QB Mike Glennon, which improves their value.  I would advise you that this pick is strictly a streamer pick (i.e., only for this week), as I expect that turnovers will happen in this game.  […]

Justin Blackmon (WR, JAC) – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (10+ teams Standard, PPR Leagues) ANALYSIS:  Blackmon missed the past four weeks due to suspension, and during that time period, many impatient managers dropped him.  I'll bet they soon will regret that decision.  If you are in a league where you see Blackmon on the wire, go ahead and pick him up.  […]

Keenan Allen (WR, SD) – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues (10+ teams Standard, PPR) ANALYSIS:  Recently,  Malcom Floyd was placed on IR due to injury, and since that occurred, Allen has been given an opportunity to replace him. So far he has not disappointed.  The past two weeks, Allen has 195 yards, 11 catches and a TD.  With Floyd out […]
