C.J. Beathard (QB, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What a time to be alive. San Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees heads into Week 7 sporting a QB rating of 122.3 with 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions.

Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is slightly above the typical threshold for waiver wire suggestions, but his ownership will likely drop after this week's stinker.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're a Giants fan, owner of New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, or simply follow football closely enough to know that Manning has looked horrible for most of the year, suggesting him as a waiver wire pickup seems like a questionable call.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jets are suddenly an offensive powerhouse! They've put up 76 points in the last two games and New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has been making plays down the field. The Vikings come to town, making for a more risky proposition though.

Alex Tanney (QB, NYG) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: To be candid, I do not know much about New York Giants quarterback Alex Tanney. Much of what we know about him comes from this video. He was a monster at D3 Monmouth College and came into the NFL a little bit older at the […]

Josh Allen Is Week-To-Week
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said rookie quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. It's not exactly clear what Allen did to his right elbow in the Week 6 loss to the Texans, but he's looking highly questionable to play in Week 7 against the Colts right now. If he's […]

Baker Mayfield Is Fine
