Full Story »Fantasy Basketball Week 2 Streamers
Aaaanddd they're offfff! (Wacky Races on my mind this time around) We got our precious NBA (and perhaps even more precious NBA fantasy) back last week and our free time has taken a significant hit as a result. Slacking off at work (analyzing your next opponent's team), neglecting your family, snapping back at your loved […]
Full Story »Malcolm Brown (RB, LAR) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The gate of opportunity appears to have opened as wide as possible for Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown. The team lost Cam Akers (ankle) to a high-ankle sprain in Week 15. He's out indefinitely. This past week, the team lost Darrell […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We're past most fantasy leagues' championship weeks, and if that wasn't enough to make for a thin waiver wire, we're also entering the last week of regular-season games. No matter what, we're here to get the most of it and squeeze till the […]
Full Story »Nick Mariano's Early 2021 Fantasy Baseball First Base Rankings
Once again, I'll start by saying the 2021 baseball season is not guaranteed to be a normal one. But for now, let's just close our eyes and dream of a world unencumbered by COVID-19 and talk about our silly little game as if a 162-game season will come next spring. Join me for my position-by-position […]
Full Story »Samaje Perine (RB, CIN) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There was plenty of food at Cincinnati's table this past Sunday for both RBs Gio Bernard and Samaje Perine to fill their bellies. Even though the former out-carried Perine 16 to 13, it was the latter who racked up the most fantasy points […]
Full Story »AJ Dillon (RB, GB) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sixteen weeks. It took Green Bay 16 weeks to keep rookie A.J. Dillon on the field for more than 14 offensive snaps and to hand him a heavy role on the backfield, but it finally happened. Oh, and Dillon showed why the Packers bet on […]
Full Story »Michael Gallup (WR, DAL) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Remember when the Cowboys were about to lit the league on fire all the way back in September? Ah, those good old times. With one of the best wide receiver corps--at least on paper--in the NFL, the Cowboys were poised to rack up […]
Full Story »Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sterling Shepard had been able to sustain a fantasy-WR3 profile for the first two-thirds of the season spanning from W1 to W12, but in the three games after that he just couldn't get anything right. The games against Seattle, Arizona, and Cleveland […]
Full Story »Mitchell Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The whispers are getting louder each passing day: Chicago will re-sign QB Mitchell Trubisky this next offseason and keep him rostered for 2021 and beyond. That might not be the best-looking future out there for an NFL franchise at the most important position […]
Full Story »Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 2
And just like that, the first week of the 2020-2021 NBA season comes to an end. With the first week in the books, there will always be some overreactions to surprising performances like Terry Rozier's 42 points in the opener or the nine-point effort Damian Lillard had in their opener. Despite all that, in category […]
Full Story »Jimmy Graham (TE, CHI) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When it all looked like TE Cole Kmet was Chicago's present and future just two weeks ago, we're now back jumping on veteran Jimmy Graham's train. This guy is infinite, folks, but he could very well turn into the winning play for you […]
Full Story »Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another week, another great performance by Derek Carr. At this point, I'm starting to think Carr is the most underrated quarterback in the NFL. I know, I know. Carr might not be the flashiest of passers out there, and the doesn't have that […]
Full Story »Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Christian Kirk had a fantastic start to the 2020 season, he had been a little bit on the wrong side of things during the past few weeks. Until last Saturday, that is, when he broke his bad second half of the year […]
Full Story »Nelson Agholor (WR, LV) - Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nelson Agholor can call home proud of his 2020 season.
