Trevor Siemian (QB, DEN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues OWNED IN: 26% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: In the event that Trevor Siemian doesn’t play, Paxton Lynch may still be a recommended QB2 option.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-team leagues OWNED IN: 48% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: When a QB is making their third appearance in the first five weeks of the season on this list, you’d think they’re no longer a streamer and more of a long-term hold.

Sam Bradford (QB, MIN) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Bradford’s Week 3 wasn’t anything special, as he crawled through the first half against Carolina before going 14-for-17 in the second half.
