BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't look now, but are we experiencing a veteran-WR renaissance led by the likes of T.Y. Hilton and A.J. Green?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Russell Gage had a monster start to the year.

Nelson Agholor (WR, LV) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The days of low-volume, high-efficiency Nelson Agholor are over. Agholor is not your boom/bust, four-target-or-less player anymore. The Raiders have made Agholor a fundamental part of their offense and it's been four games in a row in which the WR has logged 6+ […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 15

Despite Week 14 featuring a bunch of blowouts, quarterback production wasn’t anything special. Only three quarterbacks passed for over 300 yards passing. A bunch of quarterbacks were able to find the end zone through the air, however, with two players (one of which being Drew Lock) throwing for four touchdowns, two players passing for three […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Now that Tim Patrick has played 12 games, we can easily split his season into two halves which align with the before/after bye-week games of Denver.

Doug Pederson Mum On Jalen Hurts Starting Another Game

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson wouldn't name a starter at quarterback for Week 15 against the Cardinals despite rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts playing very well in the upset win over the Saints in his first career start in Week 14. However, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says it's basically a foregone conclusion that Hurts -- […]

Jalen Hurts (QB, PHI) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It happened. We've been calling for sitting Carson Wentz since maybe Week 2 when Wentz just finished putting up back-to-back 14-FP performances to kick the season off. The Eagles opted to keep Carson manning the pocket until that changed yesterday when Jalen Hurts finally […]

Drew Lock (QB, DEN) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Has Denver found its franchise quarterback in Drew Lock, once for all? Hard to say, but in my opinion, he's as close as they've gotten as of late. Lock isn't mindblowing, and perhaps his turnover-issues will kill his real-life upside, but he's not--by […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took Tua seven appearances and six starts, but he finally got things right right.

Jamal Adams Makes NFL History

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Jamal Adams raised his sack total to 8.5 on the season in the blowout win over the Jets in Week 14, breaking the record for most sacks in a single season by a defensive back. Adams has missed some time this year due to injury in his first season in Seattle, […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We're already one game into the fantasy postseason. If you still need to read my columns to remind you that Derek Carr is pretty much a must-have quarterback in every relatively-deep league, then something is wrong here. Carr has been quite productive for […]

Matthew Stafford In A Lot Of Pain

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib) was in a lot of pain following a rib injury that knocked him out of the Week 14 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Stafford left the game late in the fourth quarter, and tests after the game haven't shown anything definitive yet. The 32-year-old is as tough as […]

Alex Smith Dealing With Calf Strain

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was diagnosed with a calf strain after leaving the Week 14 win over the 49ers. All X-rays were negative and this doesn't appear to be a significant injury, so Smith isn't being ruled out yet for Week 15 against the Seahawks. We'll know a lot more on the […]

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron turned in a quiet performance in a 26-15 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson struggled with drops in a 26-15 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.

James Conner Rushes For Just 18 Yards In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner turned 10 carries into 18 yards in a 26-15 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.
