Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

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. With Kyler throwing the football, there's going to be a lot of yards available […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

We routinely gather in this space for a rapid reaction waiver piece so you can get a jump on the action to come, but I'd like you to take a moment and think of Mike Tagliere and his family first. In case you missed it, a titan of our industry passed away this weekend. Tags […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (PPR) OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Beasley was targeted 13 times in Week 3. It was the second time this season he had 13 targets, and he turned them into 11 catches for 98 yards. Josh Allen finally looked like Josh Allen this week, and the Bills' offense was unstoppable […]

Jakobi Meyers (WR, NE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

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. He was targeted 14 times in Week 3 (including one red-zone target), catching nine passes for 94 yards. He's now up to […]

Tony Jones Jr. (RB, NO) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jones generated 1,481 rushing yards during his final three seasons at Notre Dame (2017-2019). He was later signed as an undrafted free agent by New Orleans. He only was involved in five offensive snaps last season. However, his effectiveness during the preseason […]

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. Tapia has given fantasy managers a .273 batting average with 20 SBs, but he has little power (six home runs, .369 slugging). Garrett Hampson will take his spot in the outfield and bat leadoff. 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. Dunbar was released by the Detroit Lions in training camp, and he also missed 10 games last season with the Seattle Seahawks due to armed-robbery charges and a knee injury. In 11 starts for the Washington Football Team in 2019, […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

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. Now, he can be stashed […]

Josh Bell Absent From Tuesday's Lineup

Washington Nationals' first baseman Josh Bell is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Colorado Rockies. 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. It partially explains why the team signed offensive guard Wes Martin off the Washington Football Team practice squad on Monday. If Bredeson is […]

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. However, his target share rose from 4.8% to 13.7% in Week 2, as McKissic collected five of his six targets and generated […]

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. Wilson was then dealt to the Miami Dolphins this offseason, but he only lasted 12 days with more off-the-field […]

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Jake McGee (oblique) is scheduled to throw off a mound on Wednesday.

Jakub Vrana Could Miss The Start Of The Upcoming Season

With a shoulder injury, Detroit Red Wings winger Jakub Vrana could be out for the start of the 2021-2022 season. Vrana had a solid campaign after being traded to Detroit from Washington. With the Capitals, the Czech Republic native competed in 39 contests, recording 25 points. After being dealt to the Red Wings, Vrana was […]

Zack Moss (RB, BUF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 54% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Moss has established his presence within Buffalo’s backfield rotation since resurfacing in Week 2.

Antonio Senzatela Is Starting Saturday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela will start on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 26-year-old has pitched to a 4.10 ERA and a 3.57 FIP in 156 innings this season. Senzatela has also struck out 105 batters while allowing 30 walks. Only eight teams have a lower on-base percentage than Arizona this season, so Senzatela […]

Dallas Cowboys (DEF, DAL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After generating no pass rush in Week 1 and very little pressure in Week 2, the Packers' defense woke up a bit on Sunday night football. They sacked Jimmy Garoppolo four times, forced two turnovers, and held the 49ers under 300 yards of total […]

Jon Gray Starting On Friday

Colorado Rockies starter Jon Gray will take the mound for a matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday. Gray has pitched to a 4.28 ERA and a 4.07 FIP in 145 innings this season. He's also struck out 150 batters while giving up 58 walks. The veteran should be a quality streaming option for Friday's […]

Green Bay Packers (DEF, GB) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After generating no pass rush in Week 1 and very little pressure in Week 2, the Packers' defense woke up a bit on Sunday night football.

Ryquell Armstead, Ito Smith Work Out For Patriots

After losing James White (hip) indefinitely with a hip injury, the New England Patriots worked out four free agent running backs. The Patriots brought in Ryquell Armstead, Ito Smith, Artavis Pierce and Dontrell Hilliard. Armstead had a work out with the Washington Football Team prior to Week 3 and was cut by the Giants in […]

Charlie Blackmon Isn't In Tuesday's Lineup

Colorado Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals and left-hander Patrick Corbin. Blackmon is hitting .270 with a .347 on-base percentage, 13 home runs, and three stolen bases in 567 plate appearances this season. It'll be Yonathan Daza starting in right field in place of Blackmon […]

Miami Dolphins (DEF, MIA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Dolphins are tied for 3rd in the NFL in turnovers and are 9th in defensive drives that end in an offensive turnover, which is good when you face a hobbled Carson Wentz. The Indianapolis Colts also just saw their best lineman, Quentin […]

Washington Football Team (DEF, WAS) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 68% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is a gut call, and it may blow up in my face, but I refuse to believe the Washington defense is this bad. They're 30th in my own rankings so everything is telling me that they are, but I just saw […]
