Will Fuller to Dolphins - Fantasy Impact

The Miami Dolphins were a surprise playoff contender in 2020 largely on the strength of their defense and +9 turnover margin. They couldn't quite reach the postseason, however, due to a lack of dynamism in the offense. The Fins' pass offense ranked 20th in the league and the team flip-flopped between veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick and […]

Reggie Bullock (SG/SF, NYK): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: Thibs is one stubborn coach. That I sure know.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: The best-case scenario for Joe Ingles fantasy GMs and those seeking his rostership would be to have February-Ingles in their rosters.

Tomas Satoransky (PG/SG, CHI): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Bulls have changed their approach to games.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kelly Olynyk made the cut by a hair. But he did it, which talks badly of you fantasy GMs out there. This guy should be rostered in way more than just half of Yahoo leagues, and if he's still available in your league […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Grizz welcomed Grayson Allen back to their starting lineup last Wednesday, and all he did was put on a serious dud.

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is a very real chance Houston doesn't win another game for the rest of the season. No, seriously.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: There aren't many starters with such a low rostership in Yahoo leagues these days.
