O.J. Howard (TE, TB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think there is any need to introduce O.J. Howard to you by talking about his past seasons here. That is already a well-known story and one we don't want to remember, but rather forget as soon as possible. Just to put […]

N'Keal Harry (WR, NE) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ PPR Team Leagues ROSTERED: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I must admit that I was really high on N'Keal Harry last season, in his rookie year and the last with QB Tom Brady playing for the Patriots. And what did Harry do? Let me know, that is. Over his seven played […]

Preston Williams (WR, MIA) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Some fantasy GMs will check the Week 1 fantasy-point leaderboard and deem Williams as a bust and not worth waiver wire addition. And they will be super wrong with that approach. Don't be that guy, please. First of all, Miami faced New England […]

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cardinals kicked off the 2020 season finishing their Week 1 game this close to putting two players (with Monday's games still to be played) in the top-10 of PPR leaderboards. QB Kyler Murray racked up 29.3 and WR DeAndre Hopkins reached 29.1 […]

Danny Amendola (WR, DET) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Amendola has me excited. Actually, the Lions as a whole have me excited. Matthew Stafford is back healthy and although he only completed 24 of his 42 pass attempts he still threw for 297 yards, of which 81 came from Amendola's […]

Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Only one week into the season, sure, but I am already celebrating Aaron Rodgers getting back to his 2011 vibes! Yay! This is not about Green Bay's quarterback, though. It is about who seems to have solidified himself as the Packers no. 2 […]

Sammy Watkins (WR, KC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It might sound ridiculous, and it probably is, but it wouldn't be too crazy to say Watkins may be already past his peak this year after having a great Week 1 performance. If you remember what happened last season, you'd understand what I'm talking […]

Chris Taylor Heating Up In September

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Chris Taylor was 3-for-4 with a three-run homer during Sunday's 8-1 win over the Houston Astros. Taylor is slashing .357/.438/.718 with three homers and nine RBI across his last seven games. The 30-year-old is capable of playing almost any position on the field, which gives him extreme flexibility in fantasy formats. […]

Jordan Akins (TE, HOU) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know what you're thinking. Akins only reached 11.9 PPR points once in all of last season while playing the full 16-game schedule. I know about that. Other than a 22.3-point performance all the way back in Week 3 when he caught three passes […]

Mookie Betts Hits Two-Run Shot In Sunday's Win

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts was 1-for-4 with a two-run homer during Sunday's 8-1 win over the Houston Astros. The 27-year-old is slashing .310/.383/.595 through 42 at-bats in Sept. Betts is enjoying a phenomenal first season with the Dodgers, posting a .988 OPS to go along with 15 homers, 35 RBI, 35 runs scored, […]

Max Scherzer Surrenders Six Runs On Sunday

Washington Nationals starter Max Scherzer allowed six runs on nine hits and two walks across 5 1/3 innings of work during Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves. He salvaged some fantasy value by striking out 10 batters during the contest. Alas, it was another mediocre performance for the veteran right-hander, who has struggled with […]

Ozzie Albies Goes Deep On Sunday

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies was 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk during Sunday's 8-4 win over the Washington Nationals. Since returning from the injury list on Sept. 9, Albies has gone 8-for-22 (.363 average) with two homers, five RBI, and three stolen bases. It has been a frustrating season for the […]

Kyle Wright Picks Up First Win Of 2020

Atlanta Braves starter Kyle Wright allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits across six innings of work during Sunday's 8-4 win over the Washington Nationals. He struck out four batters while walking two. It was not a flawless performance by any means, but it was enough to give him the win. Wright now owns […]

Travis d'Arnaud Tallies Two RBI In Sunday's Win

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud was 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored during Sunday's 8-4 win over the Washington Nationals. He got his team on the board with an RBI double in the first inning before grounding into an RBI fielder's choice in the ninth. The 31-year-old is enjoying another productive campaign at […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (9/14/20): MLB DFS Lineups

So, this is a weird Monday slate, with multiple double-headers being played (and ignored by DraftKings). We only seven games on the main slate and lock comes early at 4:10 ET. Weird or not, there still some fun on the slate, although tricky. A lot of the best bats are the highest-priced and you definitely […]

Matt Barnes (RP, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been a rough season for Red Sox pitching in 2020 by just about every metric you can look at. Since Brandon Workman was traded to the Phillies, Matt Barnes is now the one guy to roster out of a bad Boston […]

Yan Gomes (C, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups Week 9

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Throughout most of his career, Yan Gomes has never been much of a flashy fantasy pick. He's good for between 10 and 15 home runs, with an OK average, but not really much else. Since his All-Star 2018 season, Gomes has been in […]

Jeff McNeil Leaves Sunday's Game With Gastrointestinal Issue

New York Mets third baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil went 1-for-2 with a run scored in the Mets' 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday before leaving the game. The Mets reported that McNeil was dealing with gastrointestinal discomfort, but was feeling better by the time the contest ended. Managers should keep an eye on this […]

Dominic Smith With Two More RBI On Sunday

New York Mets outfielder/first baseman Dominic Smith went 2-for-4 and drove in two in the Mets' 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday. Smith just continues to come up big for the Mets in clutch situations. Overall, Smith is batting .333 on the season with a 1.033 OPS to go with eight home runs, […]

David Peterson Decent In Mets Loss To Jays

New York Mets left-handed pitcher David Peterson was solid over five innings of work against the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday in the Mets' 7-3 loss. Peterson allowed only three hits and two walks, striking out two, over his five innings. Unfortunately, one of those three hits Peterson gave up was a two-run home run […]

Austin Barnes (C, LAD) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: Picture this scenario: the 2020 MLB season is winding down, you need stolen bases wherever you can get them, and you aren't fortunate enough to roster the likes of J.T. Realmuto, Christian Vazquez, or Isiah Kiner-Falefa at backstop. In two-catcher leagues where the pickens get […]

Jared Walsh (1B, LAA) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jared Walsh is a rare creature, in that, he has been both a successful pitcher and batter throughout his minor league career since entering the Angels farm system from Georgia in 2015. Last season, in his first big league run with Los Angeles, Walsh […]

Rafael Dolis (RP, TOR) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rafael Dolis had a seven-year MLB hiatus, but after an extended run over in Japan, he has been a pivotal asset in the Blue Jays bullpen for the 2020 campaign. Ken Giles may have just returned from the IL and is slated to be […]

Tyler Mahle (SP, CIN) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: Full disclosure: the main drawback with Tyler Mahle is David Bell's propensity to pull him early, as evidenced by his Sunday outing of 2.2 IP, four hits, four walks, three earned runs, and three strikeouts. In fact, Sunday's game against St.Louis marks the fourth […]
