Steelers Defense A Solid Option In Week 3

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense will take on the Cincinnati Bengals at home at Heinz Field in Week 3. Pittsburgh's defense has been up-and-down through two weeks but they remain a top-notch fantasy option as far as defenses go. Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow is coming off of a three-interception game and the Pittsburgh pass rush could […]

Chris Boswell A Low-End Option In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has been busy through the first two weeks of the season, making all four of his field goals and adding four extra points. The veteran kicker will look to keep it going in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has only allowed three field goals through the first two […]

Pat Freiermuth A TE2 In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth has not waited long to begin outproducing veteran tight end Eric Ebron. Freiermuth has five catches for 60 yards through two games, while Ebron has just one catch on two targets. It appears that the rookie has already overtaken Ebron in the passing attack and has emerged as […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Could See A Larger Role In Week 3

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster found the end zone for the first time of the season on a three-yard run in Week 2. Smith-Schuster will look to keep it going in a plus matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. Cincinnati's defense is allowing the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers […]

Daniel Jones In A Smash Spot In Week 3

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones can be used as a streamer and is an excellent QB2 in a smash spot against a very beatable Atlanta Falcons defense. He continues to be impressive as a runner this season and has rushed for 122 yards on 15 attempts and two touchdowns over both games. The former […]

Isiah Kiner-Falefa Gets Two Hits On Wednesday

Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa continues to be productive at the plate despite not having much talent around him. On Wednesday, Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-4 with two singles and one RBI in the 7-3 loss to the New York Yankees. The Rangers aren't getting a lot of run support these days, but Kiner-Falefa remains a useful […]

Taylor Hearn Loses His Command Versus Yankees

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Taylor Hearn came into his outing without walking a single batter in a string of three starts earlier this month.

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you have selected Dalvin Cook near the onset of your drafts at any point since 2018, then you may have opted to protect your investment through the addition of Mattison. The motivation for including Cook’s direct backup on rosters has been sustained due to […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers who invested heavy draft capital in Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson are likely shivering just at the mention of the name J.D. McKissic right now. The 28-year-old veteran saw nine fewer carries and 12 fewer snaps than […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Here's a quick comparison between a pair of Vikings receivers after two weeks: Receiver A: 19 targets, 11 receptions, 136 yards, 1 touchdown Receiver B: 15 targets, 12 receptions, 167 yards, 1 touchdown One of the receivers was a unanimous top-25 pick […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Hear me out, and hear me well: this is the last time you'll have a chance to get some Darnell Mooney shares and roster him in your fantasy squads before he crosses the 50-percent rostership and gets into some fantasy GM team. […]

Michael Carter (RB, NYJ) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 50% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The hype was high around the freshest New York Jets' running back Michael Carter entering Draft SZN. And his current 50% rostership in Yahoo leagues speaks about that. Most of Carter's fantasy GMs, though, were very disappointed to find the rusher playing […]

Rondale Moore (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie receiver Rondale Moore will have to endure some growing pains, but there is nothing to hate about that. After playing just 20 offensive snaps (29%) in Week 1, Arizona put him on the field for 28 (46%) this past Sunday and […]

Henry Ruggs III (WR, LV) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Henry Ruggs III stan here. Don't judge me, I just love explosive players and Ruggs just proved to be one of them. I know, Ruggs was rather disappointing as a rook last year finishing the 2020 campaign and his first as a […]

James White (RB, NE) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I won't stop preaching the James White Word any time soon, but the fact that this man was the leading scorer of the Patriots in Week 3 and the third-best fantasy player of the team in Week 1 tells you all […]

Cordarrelle Patterson (RB, ATL) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's a bird... it's a plane... it's the greatest kick returner of all time! You never thought you'd read this, but here it is: Cordarrelle Patterson led his team in fantasy points this weekend, finished as the RB4 through Sunday night games, […]

Tony Jones Jr. (RB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The New Orleans Saints offense was absolutely abysmal in Week 2 against the Carolina Panthers. They mustered just 128 total yards and only one touchdown. It was a far cry from the team's 38-point onslaught of the Green Bay Packers in Week […]

Kenny Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Gainwell accrued 2,069 total yards (1,459 rushing/610 receiving) in 2019 while operating in the Memphis Tigers’ RPO spread offense. Those were compelling reasons to believe that he could eventually collect touches as both a rusher and receiver in Philadelphia’s backfield - particularly […]

Sam Darnold (QB, CAR) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Haters gonna hate, and while they're at it, I'll keep believing. Maybe I was a bit too high on Sam Darnold when he landed in New York as the Jets' freshest franchise QB, and that surely backfired. But this change of scenery definitely looks […]

Joe Ryan (SP, MIN) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's officially last call for boarding the Joe Ryan hype train. The rookie put on an absolute clinic on Wednesday night, striking out 11 batters in five innings of work. Though he was only at 86 pitches, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli is a cowardly man […]

Shane Baz (SP, TBR) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: As if the defending American League champions (and owners of the AL's best current record) needed any more help, Shane Baz made his major league debut on Monday and was excellent. Tasked with facing a red-hot Blue Jays squad, the 22-year-old earned a […]

Jesús Sánchez (OF, MIA) - Week 26 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: While he's a flawed player who's had his share of growing pains as a rookie, Jesus Sanchez is finishing the season strong. The 23-year-old ranks inside the top 20 overall players in 5x5 during the past two weeks, hitting .275 with six home runs and […]
