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.

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.

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 […]

Cincinnati Bengals (DEF, CIN) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This Jaguars offense has not been good, and Trevor Lawrence has been making some really curious decisions. They are worst in the league with nine turnovers through three games and are 25th in the league in gaining only 5.1 yards per play. I don't […]

Albert Pujols Sent To Injured List Due To Vaccine Side Effects

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed first baseman Albert Pujols on the injured list on Tuesday.

New Orleans Saints (DEF, WAS) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: One of the teams that have capitalized on the Patriots not being a great offense is the Saints, who finished 2nd in DST ranks last week based on FantasyPros scoring. After a subpar game against the Panthers, New Orleans showed what they're […]

Seahawks Waive Jake Luton

The Seattle Seahawks waived quarterback Jake Luton on Tuesday. Luton had been inactive in all three games this season. Veteran Geno Smith will now be the lone option backing up Russell Wilson, although it's certainly possible that Luton is brought back to be a member of the practice squad. Luton played in three games for […]

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (quad) was a late scratch from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4.7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While there were concerns about how the Washington offense would look after losing Fitzmagic, Taylor Heinicke has done a pretty good under center.

The Denver Broncos have promoted quarterback Brett Rypien from the practice squad to the active roster.

Chase McLaughlin (K, CLE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15.4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Browns' defense, prior to playing an inept Chicago Bears offense, has struggled to stop anyone.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2.9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: 24. 33. 30. That's how many points the Vikings have scored this season so far.
