Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Has Yet To Unlock His Potential

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman/third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be just 22 years old on Opening Day, and his 12 batted balls with at least a 115 mph exit velocity since he debuted in 2019 are five more than any other player has since the start of that season. Last year, Guerrero had a […]

Facundo Campazzo (PG, DEN): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Believe it or not, Campazzo is a 29-year-old rookie. That's the easy joke to do in every writeup about the Argentine, so forgive me for pulling it off. Now, on to more serious stuff. Denver is currently playing without both Gary Harris and P.J. […]

Garrett Temple (PG/SG, CHI): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even if you erase the past week and last four games from Garrett Temple's game log, he would still be a truly valuable WW-target and acquisition through waivers. At 34 years of age, Temple has been reborn in Chicago after signing with the […]

Jae Crowder (SF/PF, PHO): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: Suns' free-agent acquisition Jae Crowder had missed every game since Feb. 3 and finally came back to the court on Feb. 14 (last Sunday). In just two games this past week, though, he has looked as good as he possibly could, playing 25 […]

Jakob Poeltl (C, SAS): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: This is more of a long-term play rather than an instant-impact one, but bear with me. Most fantasy GMs will drop Poeltl because 1) LaMarcus Aldridge should return at some point "soon", and 2) the Spurs are off the schedule due to health […]

Naz Reid (C, MIN): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: We all knew it would happen. As soon as Karl-Anthony Towns came back from injury Naz Reid was sent packing to the pine, and it's been five games there already for the second-year man out of LSU. That is bad in that Reid […]

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Josh Hart has been all over the board this past couple of weeks, I'm confident in a consistent set of outcomes going forward from the second-unit Pelican. Since Feb. 1 we have seen Hart reach as many as 54 FP (20-17-3-1-2 game […]

Jae'sean Tate (SG/SF, HOU): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: If this is a dream, I don't want out. Jae'sean Tate probably doesn't want to wake up, either. Tate went undrafted in 2018, lost no time in flying to Europe to play in Belgium, spent last season in Australia, and finally fulfilled his […]

Norman Powell Drops Season-High 31 Points

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell kept up his red-hot play in Friday's win over the Timberwolves.

Saddiq Bey (SF, DET): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: Although it took Saddiq Bey a couple of months to get everything right, he's definitely for real, folks.
