BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This Higgins is not Tee, but this Higgins isn't rostered on 70% of Yahoo! leagues either. So you know what to do.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For a player that has logged 6, 2, 15, and 14 snaps in the four games he's played, it is rather incredible that virtually all fantasy GMs are running after him these days.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Take the time you need to read this post and enjoy it, because we will probably not be writing about Brandon Aiyuk for the rest of the season as a potential WW target. With a rostership nearing the 50%+ and given his last […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sterling Shepard got injured 15 snaps into his Week 2 game, and we have had to wait more than a month to see him on a football field again. He did so facing the Eagles in Week 6... and exploiting their defense with […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: John Hightower made it to the weekly WW pickups column only because of the absolutely insane streak of injuries Philadelphia has no idea how to stop.
