Is Teddy Bridgewater A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 5? Waiver Wire Outlook

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has suffered scary back, neck, and head injuries in each of the last two weeks, and Teddy Bridgewater has played in both games in relief. Tagovailoa returned to action in Week 3 after stumbling following a hard hit but did not return to the Thursday Night Football game against the […]

Brandon Aiyuk Has Limited Targets

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk caught all four passes thrown his way for 37 yards in the Niners' 24-9 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football.

Concern for Ja'Marr Chase, Davante Adams? Fantasy Football Outlooks for Star WRs

We’re just about a quarter of the way through the year, and we finally have enough data to start filling out trends this NFL season. So far, we have concrete evidence that the Bills are as good as we expected (if not better), but also the running back position is not as dominant as in […]

Is Hayden Hurst A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 5? Waiver Wire Outlook

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst had fantasy sleeper status heading into the 2022 season, but after drawing 21 targets through four weeks, he's becoming a trendy tight end waiver add. The tight end position is always a tricky one to navigate and the options are once again scarce in 2022. Fantasy managers without big-name […]

Jared Goff (QB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Top-4 quarterback of the 2022 season through Week 4. Flex on your haters, Jared Goff. You definitely didn't expect this to happen at any point through this season, let alone this early and considering Detroit has had to endure games without some […]

Josh Reynolds (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last season Amon-Ra St. Brown grabbed all headlines with a ridiculous second half of the year playing for the Lions. That has been short-circuited this season as he's missed time, but that has only meant one thing: Josh Reynolds is now […]

Kenny Pickett (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Steelers kicked the season off with a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals and everyone from Pitt bought into that what-if. Only, nobody truly believed that was the real outcome to expect going forward. Nobody except HC Tomlin, who doubled down on starting […]

Mike Boone (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Javonte Williams had rushed for 28 yards with his 10 carries in Week 4 before he sustained a torn ACL. That elevated Mike Boone into a rotation with Melvin Gordon for the remainder of Denver’s matchup with Las Vegas, as the fifth-year back […]

Rachaad White (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: White’s status remains unchanged, as he provides fantasy managers with the ultimate protection for your investment if you have secured Leonard Fournette on your rosters. White has only accumulated 11 carries, 21 rushing yards, and nine targets, as Fournette continues to function […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill has continued to provide a steady hand at the quarterback position despite the loss of A.J. Brown in the passing attack this offseason. Tannehill has three games with at least 14.0 fantasy points and one brutal showing against arguably the […]

Corey Davis (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it is true that Corey Davis' 2020 season might have been a little bit of an outlier (he scored 2.08 FP per opportunity compared to 1.67 or fewer before), he wasn't that bad last season already playing for the Jets. Davis […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: First things first, here's hoping Tua recovers nicely from his injuries. He entered last Thursday's game having sustained a neck injury the weekend before and the sack-and-slam on TNF that forced him out of the game was the cherry on top of […]

Brian Robinson (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Robinson has been included among the weekly recommendations in this column for the past three weeks as his recovery from a shooting incident should soon reach its completion. The Commandeers are expected to activate him off the non-football injury list, which will […]

George Pickens (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have written about George Pickens as a WW target in prior weeks because he very well merited a mention back then. I mean, of course, that he merited highlighting his name all by himself and his lone efforts on a football […]

Jahan Dotson (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you think I shouldn't have written this post because Jahan Dotson got injured late on Sunday's game and didn't return, that's reasonable. I, personally, see this as a window of opportunity and perhaps the last chance you will have to add […]

Tyler Conklin (TE, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Conklin was not targeted as much by Zach Wilson as he was the two prior weeks by the aging Joe Flacco, yet he was able to manage three catches for 52 yards in the Jets' surprising win over the Pittsburgh Steelers […]

Zach Wilson (QB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I guess the New York Jets will never change. The Jets are the mediocre team you would have always guessed (2-2 record with four games in the books, the two victories by a combined five-point margin) but they finally got to start someone […]

Geno Smith (QB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although he started the season with a reasonably good QB13 performance but struggled after that, Russell Wilson put up a top-3 outing last Sunday for his new team this season. Of course, you would expect that because you had to pony up […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The volume in Cleveland probably isn't consistent enough for Donovan Peoples-Jones to be an option in shallower leagues, but he's an ideal player for a 14-team league: a talented receiver who can do good things when he gets opportunities. Sometimes in a deep […]

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 62% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is, obviously, not the usual WW post you'll find weekly under my byline. Nyheim Hines is, first of all, a secondary rusher in his team behind a clear go-to running back in extraordinary Jonathan Taylor. Hines is also one of the most-rostered […]

Jamal Agnew (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last year, the Jaguars converted Agnew from defensive back to receiver because they were desperate for pass-catching options. This year, they solved the pass-catching woes by signing a bunch of guys, so they weren't going to need Agnew nearly as much. Except, […]

Raheem Mostert (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Whenever some sort of committee pops up in an NFL backfield, fantasy managers lose sleep over it. It happens to the best of us. And it is happening in Miami with the duo of Raheem Mostert and Chase Edmonds sharing duties over […]

Hayden Hurst (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it is true that Hayden Hurst needed the full game to reach his final fantasy core, at least he eventually got there. In other words, Hurst scored his touchdown in the final two minutes of the game and that reception amounted […]

Alec Pierce (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Look, we know how the Colts receiving corps goes. Every week, someone new emerges, and then the next week disappears. It's been this way for years. Heck, in Week 2, Ashton Dulin had five catches for 79 yards, and now he has […]

Deebo Samuel Has Biggest Receiving Game Of Season

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel caught six of seven targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in the Niners' 24-9 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. He displayed his big play ability in the second quarter, taking a short drop off 57 yards for the score. According to Next […]

Jaylen Warren (RB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Warren’s usage and production were unexceptional until his final season at the collegiate level, which combined with his status as an undrafted free agent to leave him largely undetected by the fantasy radar throughout most of the offseason. However, he continues to […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone has been dropping Mooney lately, and for good reason, as his best game coming into this week was a two-catch, 23-yard outing in Week 3. But Mooney finally had the kind of game you were expecting when you drafted him. […]
