FanDuel MLB DFS Lineup Picks (9/20/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

Only seven of the 11 MLB games today find their way to the FanDuel main slate. The Royals-Cleveland matinee is understandably left off, but the other three games that start a half hour before everyone else were unceremoniously lopped off to give us a seven-game slate. In reality, they should have left it at ten. […]

Welcome back to RotoBaller’s Statcast pitcher Studs and Duds article series!

As the season winds down, I'll revisit one of my favorite metrics: SIERA.  SIERA is a great metric […]

Because of a Royals-Indians double-header, there's an afternoon game to watch before the DraftKings featured slate begins. Our seven games […]

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is only one thing separating Tony Pollard from playing the RB1 role for the Cowboys: Ezekiel Elliott--the contract, not the player. Was it not because of his absolutely monstrous deal, Dallas will be more than happy starting and handing most of […]

Mecole Hardman (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know, I know. I'm breaking the golden rule of not writing WW posts about players rostered in more than half of Yahoo leagues, but this one was just a no-brainer to include in this week's batch of targets. We focus on […]

Emmanuel Sanders (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After logging a very healthy 8 targets in Week 1 but only catching 4 of them, fantasy GMs out there blasted Emmanuel Sanders and the Bills as a whole. Now, one week later, and after another game in which he logged 6 […]

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, DEN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I just can't hate Teddy Bridgewater. Teddy B is what he is, but what he does he does perfectly. Forget about booming days, or spectacular performances coming from him. Bridgewater is a safe-first quarterback and that won't change at this point in his […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Back-to-back top-10 finishes? Not bad? QB1 status two weeks into the season? Sublime. All of that even while throwing the ball to a subpar group of pass-catchers? Fantastic. Derek Carr has always been a boring fantasy player and not the definition of […]

Maxx Williams (TE, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make something very clear: saying that Maxx Williams--or any Cardinals tight end, for that matter--is a vital part of Arizona's offense would translate to blatantly lying. It is what it is, folks, and we have to accept it as a true […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Call me crazy but... shouldn't we be seeing Tim Patrick, new Broncos WR2, rostered in many more than just 20% of Yahoo leagues by now? Remember, Denver lost Jerry Jeudy for a good chunk of the year already throwing him into IR, […]
