It might be Week 7, but that does not mean it is going to be a lucky week for fantasy footballers on the waiver wire. A half-dozen teams are on bye this week, which means 20 percent of the waiver wire crop cannot be picked since their teams will not be on the field. The […]
Full Story »DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/24/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Full Story »Bold Predictions for Week 7
Bold predictions are always meant to be taken with a grain of salt, but ideally, they are not a bunch of takes thrown like you-know-what at a wall with the hope of sticking. These predictions come with backing to make them somewhat substantiated with the obvious caveat that it's playing into a range of outcomes […]
Full Story »Grayson Allen (SG/SF, MIL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: I wrote so much about Grayson Allen's WW worthiness last year that ended losing the count at some point through the season.

Full Story »Gary Trent Jr. (SG/SF, TOR): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: I haven't really thought about it this way, but the Gary Trent Jr. for Norman Powell trade from last season was probably the most hockey-trade in the recent history of NBA transactions. No team lost, not team won, and things stayed pretty much the […]
Full Story »Hassan Whiteside (PF/C, UTA): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Jazz have been one of--if not the--most continuist teams this offseason when it comes to changing things around its rotation. One of the very few changes of names (not roles, mind you) was that in which Utah flipped Derrick Favors for Hassan Whiteside. […]
Full Story »Pat Connaughton (SG/SF, MIL): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis injured and expected to be out for a few days (already missed one and two games respectively), the Bucks seem to have moved into a downsized lineup using Giannis at C, Khris Middleton at PF, and Pat […]
Full Story »Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think, even you've been living under a rock for the past month, that you don't know about the whole saga surrounding Kyrie Irving and his anti-COVID-vax position. Let me boil it down to the simplest of terms for you: Irving is […]
Full Story »Nemanja Bjelica (SF/PF, GSW): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: It was very clear that Nemanja Bjelica was not going to be able to replicate his G1 outing against the Lakers his second time out, but it is also very clear how important Bjelica will be for this iteration of the Warriors before […]
Full Story »Devin Vassell (SF/PF, SAS): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of leagues ANALYSIS: Devin Vassell is entering his sophomore and age-22 season with the Spurs.

Full Story »Derrick Rose (PG/SG, NYK): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tom Thibodeau is still the head coach of the New York Knicks. That's it. That's all you need to know in order to have a solid reason for acquiring some shares of the current sixth-man and former great-Bull (MVP) Derrick Rose. I mean, […]
Full Story »Raul Neto (PG, WAS): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Wiz decided to move on from Russell Westbrook this past offseason, and in doing so they revamped their roster as they acquired a ton of players from multiple places. This meant a change in Washington's philosophy of pairing Bradley Beal with another superstar, […]
Full Story »Ricky Rubio (PG, CLE): Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Cavs acquired Ricky Rubio earlier this summer while he was thriving in Toky with the Spanish national team, and the trade for the Spaniard seemed like a steal (not totally reasonable given his age and the presence of Collin Sexton/Darius Garland on the team) […]
