Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Matt Vierling went 1-for-3 on Monday night to raise his batting average to .341 through his first 48 plate appearances this season.

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues (Prioritize in PPR) OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: McKissic captured a 19.2% share last season, led all backs in targets (110/6.9 per game), and was second in both receptions (80/5.8 per game) and receiving yards (589/36.8 per game). But Antonio Gibson’s ADP surged during draft season, which was […]

Zack Moss (RB, BUF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Moss was being selected in Round 8 during the majority of drafts during July, but his momentum took a downturn in August when he suffered a hamstring injury. He was also inactive during Buffalo’s season-opening loss to Pittsburgh as Devin Singletary bolted for 80 […]

James Washington (WR, PIT) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In an extremely frustrating turn of events, Diontae Johnson injured his knee on the final play of the game in a nine-point loss. That meaningless play could lead to missed time for Johnson and an increased role for Washington, who was targeted just once […]

Dawson Knox (TE, BUF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Buffalo’s top tight end might be the best option on many fantasy waiver wires at the moment. He followed up his four-catch performance Week 1 with a sparkling touchdown catch in Week 2. This now gives Knox six touchdowns over his last […]

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have to admit that on two occasions on Sunday I referred to Doyle as Dallas Clark when I saw him make plays against the L.A. Rams. Doyle has not helped fantasy managers much in recent years, but he played some of […]

Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A knee injury forced Andy Dalton to the sideline against the Cincinnati Bengals, leading to Justin Fields playing most of the second half. Fields had a modest showing at quarterback, completing six of 13 passes for 60 yards and an interception while adding 10 carries for […]

Arizona Cardinals (D/ST, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Red Birds are in the upper half of the rostered threshold but will likely be dropped in many leagues after giving up 33 points to Minnesota. That would be a mistake because they are about to take on Jacksonville, which is […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues | 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though the Giants offense hasn’t looked good through two games, Daniel Jones is throwing up great fantasy statistics. Jones completed 68% of his passes for 249 yards and a touchdown against a stellar Washington Football Team defense in […]

Carolina Panthers (D/ST, CAR) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Throw out the fantasy numbers and make Carolina your first DST claim based on matchup alone. Thursday nights are known for low score totals (except last week) but it's already been established that Houston will be without Tyrod Taylor. That means rookie Davis Mills will […]

Las Vegas Raiders (D/ST, LV) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rare will be the time when the Raiders defense enters the fantasy consciousness but the proposition of facing Miami with backup QB Jacoby Brissett is one of those times. Brissett is a capable QB and won't throw a ton of interceptions but he has […]

Ravens Defense Allows 35 Points To Chiefs

The Baltimore Ravens defense allowed 405 yards of total offense to the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday's 36-35 win. Baltimore forced two turnovers but was unable to contain superstar Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on Sunday. Mahomes completed 24 of 31 passes and tossed three touchdowns with one interception. The Ravens defense has allowed a whopping 68 […]

Scott Barlow Allows Solo Homer But Converts Save

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Scott Barlow was called upon to close out Game 2 of the team's doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians on Monday. He entered in the seventh inning while the team was ahead 4-1. He went on to give up a solo home run to Bobby Bradley, but that was the only […]

Kevin Minter Placed On The Reserve/COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kevin Minter was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Monday. It's unclear if he tested positive or came into close contact with someone who was infected. The 30-year-old primarily plays special teams and is the top reserve behind starting linebacker Lavonte David. Minter has racked up two tackles over both games in […]

Hunter Dozier Launches His 14th Home Run

Kansas City Royals third baseman/outfielder Hunter Dozier went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Game 1 of the team's doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians on Monday. The 30-year-old veteran is quietly putting together a solid month of September. Over 19 games this month, he's slashing .291/.379/.600 with four home runs, five doubles, […]

Adalberto Mondesi Swipes Two Bags On Monday

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi has been doing his best to make up for lost time in September.

Tua Tagovailoa Day-To-Day With Bruised Ribs

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) is day-to-day with bruised ribs, per head coach Brian Flores. X-rays on his ribs came back negative, and he will have a shot to suit up for Week 3's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Tua's practice participation throughout the week. Jacoby Brissett […]

Alex Lange Records His First Save On Monday

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Lange pitched a perfect ninth inning in the team's 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. He allowed no hits or walks in a scoreless inning and earned his first save of the year. The 25-year-old right-hander has pitched well out of the bullpen this month. He's made nine appearances […]

Matt Manning Allows Three Runs Over Five Innings

He pitched five innings and allowed four hits, three walks and three earned runs while striking out two. He was left with a no decision in the game. The rookie right-hander had one of the best starts of […]

49ers Won't Play Trey Lance "Just To Get Him Snaps"

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team "isn't going to play QB Trey Lance just to get him snaps." The first-round quarterback did not enter Week 2's 17-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Lance appeared in Week 1, he completed his only pass attempt for a five-yard touchdown and rushed three times […]

Champ or Chump: Elias Diaz

If you're reading this, your fantasy baseball roster is probably still playing for something. Congratulations! If a positive result hasn't been locked in yet, remember that your league's caps for games played and/or innings pitched should be seen as targets.
