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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

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 […]
