BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: White was the fourth running back to be selected during last April’s NFL draft when Tampa Bay selected him in Round 3.

Gerald Everett (TE, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Chargers' offense is as stacked with explosive runners and receivers as Buffalo Wild Wings is with chicken and sauces.

Triston McKenzie Pushed Back To Friday

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Triston McKenzie's start has been pushed back from Thursday to Friday against the Minnesota Twins.

Yordan Alvarez Out Of The Lineup Wednesday

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers.

Houston Texans running backs Dameon Pierce and Rex Burkhead were candidates to be the Texans' RB1 in 2022 throughout the offseason, and although Pierce looked to have a clear leg up, Week 1 has muddied the situation.
