BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It was a slow start in Week 3 for the Cardinals, but the team eventually got it together and finished their third-straight game with at least 30 points scored.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We finally got to see some of what made Meyers a solid fantasy option down the stretch last year: volume.

Raimel Tapia Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia is absent from Tuesday's starting lineup to take on the Washington Nationals, according to MLB.com.

Hampson, […]

Royce Freeman (RB, CAR) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Freeman was the eighth back to be selected during the 2018 NFL Draft (3.07), but his career trajectory was hardly favorable during his tenure with Denver. He finished second to fellow newcomer Phillip Lindsay in attempts (130/9.3 per game), and yardage (521/37.2) during 2018, […]

Cardinals Sign Quinton Dunbar

The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent defensive back Quinton Dunbar on Tuesday, according to a source.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Wilson was mentioned as a waiver add on a repeated basis during the final weeks of the 2020 regular season as he presented managers with a critical resource that could help propel their teams to league championships.

Josh Bell Absent From Tuesday's Lineup

Bell's having an above-average year offensively, slashing .254/.337/.473 with 27 HRs, 88 RBI, and 72 runs over 139 games. He's really turned it on in the second half, batting .264 with a .866 OPS. Ryan Zimmerman […]

Ben Bredeson Could Miss Time With Hand Injury

New York Giants left guard Ben Bredeson (hand) suffered a hand injury in the Week 3 loss to the Atlanta Falcons that could force him to miss some time, according to sources.

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR) OWNED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: McKissic was only targeted once during Washington’s season opener, failed to register a reception, and carried just one time.

Isaac Seumalo Needs Season-Ending Surgery

Philadelphia Eagles offensive guard Isaac Seumalo (foot) suffered a Lisfranc injury in the Monday night loss to the Dallas Cowboys and will require season-ending surgery. Seumalo will be placed on Injured Reserve as well. It's another big blow to an already beat up Eagles offensive line, as Brandon Brooks (pectoral) is already on Injured Reserve […]

Peyton Barber (RB, LV) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You may not have the same fervor for pursuing Barber from this week’s waiver wire that you will for the most popular options that remain available. However, he will accumulate rushing attempts and accrue rushing yardage while Josh Jacobs contends with his lingering ankle […]

Lions Release Jamie Collins Tuesday

The Detroit Lions released veteran linebacker Jamie Collins on Monday after trying to trade him over the weekend. Collins was once a prized free-agent acquisition for Detroit, but he was a healthy scratch in the Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens after the publicly expressed interest in trading him. The 31-year-old had 101 tackles, […]

Michael Carter (RB, NYJ) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Carter was included in last week’s recommendations due to the expectation that he would eventually ascend into an expanded role. Managers were still largely uninspired to target him for their rosters, as his availability only changed by 4%. Carter’s escalating usage had propelled […]

Kenny Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Gainwell has quickly earned a role in Philadelphia's offense that capitalizes on his ability to accrue sizable yardage as both a runner and receiver. This has enabled the promising rookie to cement his status as the Eagles' RB2, and his value should […]

Isaiah Wilson Gets A Workout With The Giants

Offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson worked out for the New York Giants on Tuesday. Wilson was a first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2020, but he only played in one game due to numerous off-the-field incidents.
