BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: In a team that has been ravaged by injuries, Derrick Jones has definitely found his place.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last time I get to write about Josh Hart as a WW target. With a rostership about to hit 50% in all Yahoo leagues and the Pelicans seemingly interested in moving on from Lonzo Ball […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: I am sorry, but I don't have any idea about where this Boston Celtics squad is led to. The truth is, the team has been a little bit disappointing this season, to say the least. I'm writing this while Boston sits in the […]

Saddiq Bey (SF, DET): Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: When I wrote about rookie Saddiq Bey last week I thought that would most probably be the last time I was going to be able to do so, at least when it comes to highlighting WW-targets available in more than half of Yahoo […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: If I know something about Isaac Okoro, it must be that Isaac Okoro is not your average rookie player.
