More than ever before, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is being taken off the field on third downs in 2022. "I don't know. You got to ask someone else," Kamara said when asked why he's losing out on third-down snaps. He was on the field on third downs 81 percent of the time […]

Is Greg Dulcich Healthy or Injured? Fantasy Football Injury Update

The Denver Broncos' offensive weapons have largely been massive disappointments in fantasy football as quarterback Russell Wilson is having the worst season of his NFL career.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Had you asked Isaiah Hodgins about his pro career through Week 9 just a couple of months ago, he would have given you a very depressing answer. After playing just four snaps as a rookie for Buffalo last year and 13 in […]

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson became a fantasy superstar and trending player when he scored eight touchdowns in a four-game span, and although he's cooled off as expected, he's still very much on the fantasy radar.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While DJ Chark had a rough outing a couple of weeks ago when he could only put up 2.8 PPR points at the New York Jets, he has now proved that a fluke with another 14+ PPR game this past weekend and […]

Kendrick Bourne (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It sounds ridiculous, but Kendrick Bourne accrued more than 33% of his total PPR points this season in last Saturday's matchup against the Bengals alone.

Demarcus Robinson (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This post might not make sense to you at first sight considering that Demarcus Robinson is coming off a one-target, six-yard game (although he scored on that lone reception) but that is not what you need to be focusing on. That would […]

They'll take […]

Alec Pierce Finishes With Three Catches In Loss

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce caught three passes for 26 yards in Monday night's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.

Deon Jackson A Non-Factor In Loss To Chargers

Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson had three receptions for nine yards in Monday night's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.
