BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is hard to imagine there being room for another wide receiver to find success in the Falcons lineup when Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are putting up such monster numbers, but Russell Gage has found space for a nice season in his […]
Full Story »D'Onta Foreman (RB, TEN) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It seems like a stretch of the imagination that the Derrick Henry-led, stout Titans running game could feed another mouth on the ground after the introduction of Jeremy McNichols, but it looks like D'Onta Foreman stands an excellent shot at becoming a worthy […]
Full Story »Disaster Recovery - Week 8's Studs Turned Duds
Halfway through the 2020 NFL season, things are getting repetitive. Once again, Michael Thomas doesn't play, along with nearly a dozen elite running backs. This siphoning of the RB position leaves the following people atop scoring leaderboards for the week: Giovani Bernard, DeeJay Dallas, Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, Zack Moss, Jamaal Williams, Justin Jackson, Damien […]
Full Story »The Cut List (Week 9) - Time to Let Go?
The first few weeks of a fantasy season require us to take a wait-and-see approach with a lot of our players. We didn't draft that rookie running back in the 14th round thinking he would immediately become a viable starting option, so we keep him on our bench for awhile and look for signs of […]
Full Story »Waiver Wire Express - Week 9 Lightning Round
Week 8 brought an action-packed week with its own batch of chaos, but any week without COVID-19 postponements feels like a win. Key injuries included George Kittle (ankle), Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle), T.Y. Hilton (groin), Kenny Golladay (hip), Tevin Coleman (knee), Darrell Henderson (thigh), Adam Humphries (concussion). Week 8 has these teams on bye: Bengals, Browns, Eagles, and Rams. […]
Full Story »Jalen Reagor (WR, PHI) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Eagles pass-catcher corps have been so ravaged by injuries that no-name, waiver-wire-darling Travis Fulgham leads the team in PPR points... and is the WR6 on the season in fantasy points per game! Just imagine! With such room for opportunity, as many as […]
Full Story »Jordan Wilkins (RB, IND) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're going to come here to tell me that you knew this was about to happen, you're a liar. That's what you are, my friend. Indianapolis started the season featuring Marlon Mack heavily on both the passing and the rushing game... only […]
Full Story »Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Ravens backfield has been a three-headed monster, or a three-headed mess, whether you like the most. Mark Ingram II, Gus Edwards, and J.K. Dobbins have shared snaps all season long, and none has been able to separate from the pack either in […]
Full Story »Corey Davis (WR, TEN) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Looking back at Corey Davis' career numbers, the concerns coming from fantasy GMs were understandable. Not anymore, I guess. Davis was meh as a rookie (6.3 PPG in 11 games), performed better in his second year (11.5 PPG in 16 games) but he came […]
Full Story »Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 43% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been ages since the first time I told you to add-and-stash Sterling Shepard to your fantasy teams when he went down injured all the way back in Week 2. It looks like fantasy GMs are finally accepting that they missed out big […]
Full Story »Damien Harris (RB, NE) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody loves New England's backfield, but at this point, we know perfectly how it usually works (committee) and what to expect (a heavily balanced share of snaps). Excluding Rex Burkhead (71%) in Week 2 and James White (93%) in Week 4, no Patriots' […]
Full Story »Curtis Samuel (WR, CAR) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Finally, we can all agree Curtis Samuel is a real thing, folks. The Panthers QB-WR pair of Teddy Bridgewater and Robby Anderson (interestingly two additions to the team this season) clicked instantly in Carolina's offense, while Samuel had a rather slow start to the […]
Full Story »Wayne Gallman (RB, NYG) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Giants lost stud RB Saquon Barkley just two games into the season, and their move was getting into the free-agent market to sign Devonta Freeman. That was expected, as was his usage and RB1 role while his health stayed up. As Brakley, […]
Full Story »Denzel Mims (WR, NYJ) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Are you looking for extreme fantasy football experiences? Oh boy, then you should definitely roster and play some New York Jets during the rest of the season, am I right? The Jets are whatever comes after "worst". That's a bad thing. But […]
