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.

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.

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.

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.

Charlie Blackmon Isn't In Tuesday's Lineup

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 […]

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.

Luton played in three games for […]

Willy Adames A Late Scratch On Tuesday

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

Dustin Hopkins (K, WAS) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

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. They scored 30 points in Week 2 and 21 this past week. In Week 4, they get to go up against […]

Broncos Elevate Brett Rypien To Active Roster

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

Bailey Ober Lands On Injured List Tuesday

The Minnesota Twins placed starting pitcher Bailey Ober (hip) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.

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. While Week 3 might give some hope this defense has turned the corner, I wouldn't be so sure. I fully expect this game to be a […]
