Josh Adams (RB, PHI) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Phialdelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams surprised everyone by running for 61 yards against the Jaguars in Week 8 on just nine attempts. That could be dismissed as a fluke performance, except that this is a backfield still lacking an established running back. Last […]

Elijah McGuire (RB, NYJ) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire made his 2018 debut in Week 9, totaling 67 yards on 10 touches. That's better than it sounds considering how ineffective the Jets were in all other aspects of the game. Bilal Powell isn't coming back and Isaiah Crowell won't […]

Jason Garrett Won't Take Over Play-Calling Duties

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said he will not take over play-calling duties from offensive coordinator Scott Linehan at this time. “Right now, Scott Linehan is going to call the plays for the offense," Garrett said. That doesn't mean a change isn't on the horizon, but Linehan will at least be running the offense […]

Kapri Bibbs (RB, WSH) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kapri Bibbs hasn't exactly garnered a whole lot of attention out of the Redskins backfield as he ranks fourth on the team in carries (13) and rushing yards (56) behind Adrian Peterson, Alex Smith, and Chris Thompson. However, even with Alex Smith […]

Alfred Morris (RB, SF) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The San Francisco 49ers have been plagued by a lot of uncertainty in their passing game this season. Behind Jimmy Garoppolo, C.J. Beathard, and Nick Mullens, they rank 25th in the NFL so far with 219.9 passing yards per game. As a result, […]

Jack Conklin In Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans right tackle Jack Conklin (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury on Monday night in the win over the Cowboys. Conklin is one of the league's best right tackles, so it'd be a downgrade for quarterback Marcus Mariota and the Titans running game against the Patriots in Week […]

Lions Sign Bruce Ellington, Waive Ameer Abdullah

The Detroit Lions signed free-agent wide receiver Bruce Ellington on Tuesday and waived running back Ameer Abdullah in a corresponding move, according to a source. Ellington caught eight of 12 targets for 92 yards and a touchdown for the Texans in three games earlier this season before he was released. He'll help with depth after […]

LeSean McCoy Not A Factor On Sunday

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy wasn’t much of a factor in the team’s loss against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The veteran only carried the ball 10 times for 10 yards, and also caught all four targets out of the backfield for 19 yards. This performance really contradicts the statement the Bills were making […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 10

If you had told me San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens would throw for over 250 yards and three touchdowns in his first taste of NFL action, I would have called you crazy. Yet here we are, scratching our heads about how the Oakland Raiders only managed to generate 242 yards of total offense in […]

Broncos Staying The Course With Vance Joseph

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway isn't ready to fire head coach Vance Joseph and told reporters last week he'd seen enough "good things" during the first half of the season to remain confident. “At this point, we’re going to stay the course,” Elway said during his weekly appearance on Orange & Blue 760, a […]

Sony Michel Likely To Return In Week 10

New England Patriots rookie running back Sony Michel (knee), who has missed the last two games with a sprained MCL, is likely to return and play in Week 10 against the Titans, according to a source. However, he'll need a good week of practice without any setbacks in order to be cleared. Keep a close […]

Cowboys Won't Make In-Season Coaching Change

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team would not be making an in-season coaching change following the team's 28-14 Monday night loss to the Titans. Dallas is now 3-5 on the year and two games back of the NFC East-leading Redskins. Head coach Jason Garrett has gone 70-58 with only two playoff appearances and […]

Mike Davis (RB, SEA) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson entered Week 9 having rushed for over 100 yards in three of Seattle’s last four games. He also appeared to have secured a clear role as the Seahawks’ RB1, as uneasiness surrounding the potential for Pete Carroll to randomly alter […]

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN:  23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The prospects of owning Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines may not provide the same level of enthusiasm that existed prior to Marlon Mack’s return. Hines had averaged 69 YPG in Weeks 3-5, before Mack’s reemergence in Week 6 ignited a three-game statistical […]

FAAB Bidding - Week 10 Waiver Wire Targets

As an addendum to our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, in this column we also present suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much […]

Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Offense reigns supreme in the NFL these days. In Week 9, we saw scores of 45-35, 42-28, 37-21, and 38-14. Also, the Bears scored 41 and the 49ers put up 34 in shellackings of lesser opponents. That was with six teams on bye. Not every vulture or opportunistic backup is worth owning in fantasy leagues but […]

Week 10 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

We now enter the planning process for Week 10, as some of you are contending with backs that have been inconsistent or completely absent due to lingering injuries, while others are receiving disappointing results from runners that you originally believed would be among your most dependable performers. Fortunately, you now have an opportunity to utilize your […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

Week 9 felt a bit "chalkier" than other recent NFL slates, with many big names going off and very few lower-owned players coming on to vulture touchdowns from the big guns. There also weren't any notable injuries (as of Sunday evening), so the waiver wire will consist more of underappreciated assets rather than replacements. We here […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 10)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Theo Riddick (RB, DET) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick is back after a three-week hiatus due to a knee injury and did his thing as usual. That thing involves catching passes and not running the ball whatsoever. Riddick was targeted eight times, catching seven for 36 […]

D'Onta Foreman (RB, HOU) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman is scheduled to begin practicing this week, which is the first step in a return from the PUP list. It's unclear when Foreman will see game action, but those with space to stash and a need at RB […]

Return To Sender - Faces In New Places Who Have Disappointed

We are now nine weeks into the season and we have had enough time to evaluate what roles players have on their teams. Barring injury, those roles are unlikely to change a huge amount at this stage. We saw a lot of good players change teams in the offseason. Some have had success, like Kirk […]

Jamaal Williams (RB, GB) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN:  23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This backfield may belong to Aaron Jones soon enough but Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams will be in the mix still. With Ty Montgomery gone, Williams is set to see more work on passing downs since the team prefers him for pass protection over Jones. […]

Ezekiel Elliott Totals 112 Yards on Monday Night

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran the ball 17 times on Monday, gaining 61 yards. He also caught four passes for 51 more yards. As he has been many times this season, Elliott was the main bright spot of the Cowboys offense. He ended up not getting used nearly enough in the second half, […]

Malcolm Brown Could Be A Sneaky Stash

The Los Angeles Rams boast a legitimate MVP candidate in running back Todd Gurley. However, they have a pretty good backup in Malcolm Brown that could have more value down the stretch of this season. Even after their loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, they still hold a 3.5 game lead over the […]

Chris Carson Not Expected To Practice Much This Week

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) isn't expected to do much in practice this week after injuring himself in the Week 9 loss to the Chargers. Head coach Pete Carroll isn't sure if Carson will be available in Week 10 against the Rams. Carson was a game-time decision on Sunday and didn't make it […]

Alex Collins Scores Touchdown Against The Steelers

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins was able to salvage a decent fantasy performance after scoring a touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens struggled to get anything really going on offense in this game, with Collins only able to have nine rushing attempts all game. Collins finished the game with 35 yards rushing and […]

Javorius Allen Fails To Make Impact In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen failed to make an impact in his Week 9 encounter against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens were behind for a lot of the game, which would normally mean that Allen would thrive in the passing game for the team. However, Allen was only able to rush for six yards […]

Christian McCaffrey Continues Production On The Ground

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey continued his recent production on the ground against the Buccaneers in Week 9. McCaffrey finished the game with 79 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground, also adding a team-high 78 yards on five receptions in the air. McCaffrey has now scored rushing touchdowns in two consecutive games […]

Bryan Bulaga Should Be Fine

Green Bay Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee), who left the Monday night game early against the Patriots, is going to be fine, according to a source. Bulaga doesn't have structural damage in his knee and could even play in Week 10 against the Dolphins. That's good news for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the team's […]
