Melvin Gordon III Posts A Dud Against New Orleans

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III led the team with 12 rushing attempts in the 31-3 blowout loss to the Saints in Week 12, but he only managed 31 yards (2.6 yards per carry). Fantasy managers would've been wise to bench the entire Broncos offense on a day in which they had a practice-squad […]

Royce Freeman Leads Broncos In Rushing Against Saints

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman surprisingly led the team in rushing in their Week 12 31-3 blowout loss to the Saints on Sunday, carrying the ball eight times for a season-high 50 yards.

Kendall Hinton Throws More Interceptions Than Completions

Denver Broncos practice-squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton was forced to start at quarterback in Week 12 against the Saints with Drew Lock and the rest of the team's QB room inactive due to COVID-19.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Anyone in need of tight end help down the stretch has to be intrigued by the usage of Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz over the past month or so.

Jordan Wilkins (RB, IND) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins has seen his workload fluctuate greatly over the course of the year.

Royce Freeman (RB, DEN) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't expect him to line up under center too much more going forward, but Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman could be in position to close the season strong by working out of his primary position - running back. Phillip Lindsay (knee) suffered […]

Breshad Perriman (WR, NYJ) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It might seem scary to consider adding any member of the New York Jets offense after their three-point output this past week against the Miami Dolphins. However, despite the team's offensive struggles this past week - and all season - wide receiver Breshad […]

Cam Akers (RB, LAR) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Show me a weirder backfield than the Rams' and I'll show you a liar. It's been 12 weeks, two-thirds of the season, and the Rams have used three rushers in a rather balanced way since the start of the year. Darrell Henderson Jr. […]

Sony Michel (RB, NE) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you have any clue about how the Patriots backfield will operate ROS, I'll be waiting for your call. Sony Michel was active this past Sunday, but he barely made it to the field playing just one snap and hitting the waiting list […]

Frank Gore (RB, NYJ) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I already told you about Frank Gore's availability and upside a week ago when La'Mical Perine fell down to injury in W11 and hit the Injured Reserve, making him ineligible until W15 at least. With Perine out, Gore came back to his heavy […]

Bisi Johnson (WR, MIN) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Adam Thielen out, someone had to step up for the Vikings yesterday. Enter second-year WR Bisi Johnson, who had one of the most efficient games of the weekend and helped Minny in getting another W to their season record. Bisi closed his […]

Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Remember the 5-1 Bears? Yeah, me neither. LOL. These Bears have turned into the New York Jets in that it'd take a very unusual set of circumstances to roster any of their players not named Allen Robinson II, but here we are. Rookie […]

Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bills have been missing John Brown all season long.

Sammy Watkins (WR, KC) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It seemed like we would never see Watkins back on a field, but he finally arrived this past Sunday, and considering we're not in Week 1 anymore, Watkins had a reasonably good ease-in/comeback game. Sure, he only scored 7.8 PPR points, but in […]

Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Allen Lazard finally came back last week after missing all games in the W4-W10 span due to injury.

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I shouldn't be writing about Derek Carr because Derek Carr is rostered in more than half of Yahoo fantasy leagues. But in my favor, I have to say that I expect a lot of fantasy GMs (mostly those streaming him) to drop Carr […]

Zach Ertz Won't Come Off Injured Reserve Monday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) won't be activated from Injured Reserve before the Monday night game against the Seahawks in Week 12, according to sources.

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, MIA) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last weekend marked the last time we got to watch rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa play NFL football. The last time to date, that is.

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Vikings entered Sunday knowing top-wideout Adam Thielen was going to be out.

Adrian Peterson (RB, DET) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Thanksgiving surely did wonders to AP. All Day finished last Thursday's game against Houston with 17.5 PPR points--all of them on rushing plays--making that game his season-best and also the first one since W15 of 2019 in which he scored more than 16 […]

Michael Gallup (WR, DAL) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is sad, but it is also true: Michael Gallup has been an afterthought this season after having an incredible second-year breakout in 2019. Playing under backup quarterbacks doesn't help, but even with Dak Prescott manning the helm Gallup could only reach 10+ […]

Mike Minor Agrees With Royals

The Kansas City Royals agreed with left-handed starter Mike Minor on a two-year deal on Sunday that is pending a physical, according to sources.
