Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo came very close to his first triple-double of the campaign on Monday, recording a game-high 30 points with 10 rebounds and nine assists in a 119-109 win at Indiana. He also picked up one steal with two blocks and two turnovers in 36 minutes on the floor, missing both of […]

Miles Sanders "Week-To-Week" With A Low-End Ankle Sprain

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said running back Miles Sanders (ankle) is "week-to-week" with a low-end ankle sprain. The 24-year-old sustained the injury in a Week 7 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He was carted off the field and did not return in Sunday's loss. Despite being listed as week-to-week, the Eagles have […]

LaMelo Ball Has Seven Three-Point Bombs During 25-Point Effort

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball matched a career high with seven made three-pointers during a 25-point performance in Monday's overtime loss to Boston, shooting 7-for-19 overall from the field. He was 7-for-14 from downtown and 4-for-4 at the line with nine assists, five rebounds and six turnovers in 33 minutes. Ball had to exit […]

Jaylen Brown Produces A 30-Point Night

Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown was on a roll against the Hornets on Monday, shooting 12-for-20 from the field en route to 30 points in a 140-129 overtime win. He was 3-for-7 with the three-ball and added three points from the charity stripe with four attempts. Brown missed a double-double by one rebound and […]

K.J. Osborn (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There aren't many wide receivers out there putting up K.J. Osborn's playing-time/usage numbers this season, let alone if we add the context of the Vikings. Osborn has appeared in "only" 277 offensive snaps (47th most) and logged a 62% snap share; […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for PrizePicks: Tuesday, October 26th

The 2021 NBA season is finally underway and that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or single stats. The goal is to […]

Foster Moreau (TE, LV) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As surprising as it was, as we had no prior information about the possibilities of it happening this Sunday, Las Vegas TE Darren Waller was scratched from this past weekend's game against Philly. That opened the door to backup TE Foster Moreau […]

Kendrick Bourne (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Jakobi Meyers is still the WR1 of the Patriots, and Nelson Agholor the lucky pass-catcher to find himself inside the end zone while in possession of the ball on Sunday, Kendrick Bourne was the better overall play against the Jets and […]

Kalif Raymond (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took time, but it looks like Detroit has finally found its no. 1 WR, as uninspiring as that is. It was always clear that this team was going to suffer thanks to a thin-as-a-paper-sheet receiving corps led by a tight end, […]

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Quite a ridiculous development this one involving Ricky Seals-Jones and his current league-winning upside, but here we are folks. Logan Thomas got banged up back in Week 4 and has not played a single game since. Ricky, Washington's TE2 till that week […]

Evan Engram (TE, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I get the concerns about Evan Engram's upcoming/potential usage falling down once the Giants' receivers start to get healthy as the season progresses. Now, my question is, will that truly happen? Not the loss of targets by Engram, but the receiving corps getting healthier. […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It has to be hard to be in Tua Tagovailoa's shoes these days. The poor sophomore out of Bama is on the rumor mill every single day, and the whispers are growing louder about a potential trade away from Miami (most probably […]

Rashod Bateman (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Allow me to start giving you some bad news before moving into what makes Rashod Bateman a sound WW target this week. First of all, Bateman is a rookie. Second, Bateman is definitely not the WR1 of the Ravens offense. Third, Baltimore […]

Mac Jones (QB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Do we love Mac Jones as a real-life football player? Meh... Do we love Mac Jones as a viable fantasy football player? You bet. Sure thing, Jones is not going to win you the league. The sooner you accept that the better (unless […]

Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The same week in which Marquez Valdes-Scantling played his last game before getting banged up and missing four straight was the week in which Allen Lazard made his 2021 debut. That happened back in Week 3, and the truth is that Lazard […]

James Harden Continues Worrying Early-Season Trend

On Monday, the Brooklyn Nets downed the Washington Wizards to bounce back from a Sunday defeat, but a disturbing early-season trend continued for James Harden. The Nets point guard provided 14 points, nine assists, six rebounds, a block, and a steal in 30 minutes, but he only got to the foul line three times. It […]

Bradley Beal Returns From Injury For 19 Points

After sitting out the last game, Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) returned to the court with an inefficient shooting night. In 32 minutes, Beal took 22 shots but only made eight of them and was a further 3-for-13 behind the three-point line. He managed to add four assists and three rebounds, but it also […]

Kevin Durant Nets 25 Points In Easy Win

In a 104-90 win over the Washington Wizards, Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant continued to do Kevin Durant things. The 2014 MVP helped his team bounce back from a disappointing loss on Sunday with 25 points, eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 35 minutes of a ho-hum outing. The bizarre thing was he […]

Jason Myers Struggles In Week 7

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was a locked-in starting kicker a season ago, but it's become clear this year that he's become unreliable for fantasy managers, especially following his performance in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. With the brutal weather at home, Myers went just 1-for-3 on field goals and […]

D.K. Metcalf Finds The End Zone In Week 7

Seattle Seahawks wideout D.K. Metcalf caught just two balls in Week 7, but he made them count in the loss against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. Metcalf caught two of his five targets for 96 yards and a touchdown. His first catch of the game came on an 84-yard touchdown down the sideline […]

Tyler Lockett Struggles Mightily In Week 7

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had a terrible fantasy outing in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. Lockett caught two of his three targets for 12 yards on the night, with his lone incompletion coming on his deepest target down the field. In two games without quarterback Russell Wilson (finger) […]

Alex Collins Struggles In Week 7

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins was unable to replicate his play from a week ago, and he struggled all game long in the Week 7 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. Collins finished the game with 16 carries for 35 yards while catching one pass for nine yards on one target. […]

Geno Smith Stifled In Week 7

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith had one big play in Week 7, but he couldn't do much else in the team's loss to the New Orleans Saints. Smith went 12 of 22 for 167 yards and a touchdown in the loss on Monday night. He also added three carries for 12 yards on the night. […]

Saints Defense Compiles Five Sacks

The New Orleans Saints defense compiled five sacks in Monday's win over Seattle. The unit limited backup QB Geno Smith to 167 yards and the rushing attack to 90 yards in a low-scoring, rainy affair. This unit has been quite potent this season as it has nine picks and now 13 total sacks on the […]
