Daryl Washington (IDP - LB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (10+ teams IDP Leagues) ANALYSIS:  So far on the season, Washington hasn't seen a snap due to a four-game suspension.  This makes him a ripe option to pick up for his return this week, as over the past two seasons he's been a beast with 202 tackles and 14 sacks!  If Washington […]

STL, DEF - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (10+ teams) ANALYSIS:  For three straight weeks, the STL defense has not played well for fantasy owners.  However, this week they have a ripe opportunity when the horrible Jacksonville Jaguars-- dead last in offense in the NFL-- come into town.  If you're looking for a nice streamer option, or […]

ATL, DEF - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (10+ teams) ANALYSIS: In Week Four, the Falcons defense played terribly against the Patriots, but that won't deter me from recommending them this week.  Why?  They are playing the Jets, who feature a -11 give/take differential.  Geno Smith has eight interceptions (averaging two per game) and is on pace to have […]

Kendall Wright (WR, TEN) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Continue monitoring ANALYSIS: At this point, this is a reminder to watch the Kenny Britt situation with the Titans.  I have no idea what is going on with him, but it certainly seems like something is up.  What's more, rumors are swirling that he might be traded.  Whatever the case, I believe that this is […]

Jerome Simpson (WR, MIN) - Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams PPR) ANALYSIS: I can't believe I'm writing this, but I cannot deny that Matt Cassel has some chemistry with Simpson.  Last week, Simpson saw 11 targets (seven catches for 124 yards), and I expect that Cassel will keep the starting QB position in Minnesota for the foreseeable future.  I […]

Jerricho Cotchery (WR, PIT) – Waiver Wire Pickup

BALLER MOVE: Continue monitoring (10+ teams) ANALYSIS:  I will say on record that I do not think that Cotchery is going to hold his position (slot receiver) over Markus Wheaton.  However, until Wheaton gets the opportunity, Cotchery will continue to be the warm body for the Steelers.  The Steelers defense has not been great this year, […]

Danny Woodhead (RB, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move:  Stash in all PPR leagues, Start in deeper PPR leagues. Analysis: I called for this same move last week, and with Woodhead still available in nearly 60% of leagues, it bears repeating. Woodhead continues to make the most of his opportunities, and as a result, his role should continue to increase. While Ryan Mathews performed better this week, […]

Mike Goodson (RB, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stash in deep leagues. Analysis: Goodson's four-game suspension is now over. With Ivory sidelined indefinitely, Goodson will have a chance to show why many people believe he is the most talented and dynamic back on the Jets' roster. It would be crazy to start him immediately, but if you are weak out of the RB […]

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stash in all leagues. Analysis:  Ellington's potential path to becoming the Cardinals' feature back is really coming into focus. Mendenhall continues to disappoint, with only 21 yards on 12 carries this past week. He dropped the ball both literally and figuratively, fumbling twice and dropping an easy catch. He also failed to hit the […]

Rashad Jennings (RB, OAK) - Waiver Wire Pickups

Baller Move: Stash/Start (probably) in all leagues. Analysis: Jennings will likely never get to take the trip to Honolulu for a Pro Bowl, but he could be a sneaky play in Week Five. With Darren McFadden suffering a hamstring injury and no timetable yet given for his recovery, it is a pretty safe bet that DMC will not play […]

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

Baller Move: Stash in deeper leagues. Analysis: Helu Jr. is worth a stab in the dark if you have or can safely make the space on your bench. He is also close to a must-add for Morris owners who wish to cover themselves. Alfred Morris left the Redskins' Week Four victory over Oakland with a rib injury. The […]

Scott Chandler (TE, BUF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Chandler had a very solid game against the Jets, with five catches for 79 yards and one TD. This was a breakout game for him, as he only had caught seven passes for a total of 48 yards with no TDs in the two prior weeks. He goes up […]

Zach Miller (TE, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Miller had a fantastic game for fantasy owners in Week Three, scoring two touchdowns against the Jaguars, but outside of those scores, he has done little to impress so far this season.  He only recorded five receiving yards against Jacksonville.  I expect he will receive more targets this week with […]

Jordan Reed (TE, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Reed was good against the Lions, catching five passes for 50 yards, but he left the game with a knee injury and his status for Week Four at Oakland is questionable.  The Redskins face a Raiders team that was carved by Denver, and their best tight end should have […]

Heath Miller (TE, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Miller just played in his first game of the season, returning from a serious off-season knee surgery.  Against Chicago, Miller caught three passesn for 35 yards. He couldn’t play every down as his recovery is not 100% complete.  Miller has a proven track record of being an outstanding tight end, […]
