Week 4 has come and gone and COVID remains prevalent in the NFL heading to Week 5. With bye weeks upon us, fantasy managers also have to contend with positive cases for the Titans, Patriots, Raiders, and Chiefs. All of us understood these possibilities heading into the season, but seeing the NFL move games is […]
Full Story »Brian Hill (RB, ATL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 21% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill has been an extremely effective No. 2 back for the team over the first five weeks of the season. In Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers, Hill carried the ball six times for 39 yards and caught […]
Full Story »Jamaal Williams (RB, GB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has quietly had an extremely efficient start to the year as a pass-catching option out of the backfield. Williams has caught all 13 of his targets on the year for 119 yards. In the team's last […]
Full Story »Greg Ward (WR, PHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Through five games this year, Greg Ward is leading all Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers in targets with 31 and he leads all Eagles pass-catchers with 22 receptions, two more than tight end Zach Ertz. Ward hasn't been doing a ton with his […]
Full Story »Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has been a bit of a fantasy afterthought amidst the team's current running back trio, which is rounded out by No. 1 back Mark Ingram II and rookie J.K. Dobbins. Ingram is coming off a year where […]
Full Story »Gerald Everett (TE, LAR) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Gerald Everett (5.3 PPG) has been worse than Los Angeles Rams' TE1 Tyler Higbee (10.3) so far this season, it's a little bit crazy to find they rostered in 1% and 95% of Yahoo! leagues respectively. And that difference is only growing […]
Full Story »Travis Fulgham (WR, PHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is a very real chance Week 5 of the 2020 season comes down in history as "Fulgham vs. Claypool: Battle of WW Pickups". Through SNF, both WRs are locked into the no. 1 and no. 2 PPR leaderboards. Claypool was insane with his […]
Full Story »Chase Claypool (WR, PIT) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: That's it, that's all I needed to watch to confirm the suspicions: Chase Claypool is the freaking real deal. Let me throw some numbers around. This is the 2020 NFL season, and through five weeks Chase Claypool is 1) the only WR with 4 […]
Full Story »Devin Duvernay (WR, BAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming up next: your deep-league WW-flier of the week, Devin Duvernay! Yay! See, I know what you're thinking: Antonio has lost his damn head. Not going to blame you, honestly, but bear with me for a minute. Duvernay has played between 6 and […]
Full Story »Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I already wrote about Keelan Cole last week, and here I am back it once more. After two great games to start the season (15.7 and 17.8 PPR points), Keelan dropped his numbers a bit in the next two (back-to-back 8-FP games) but […]
Full Story »Laviska Shenault (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Shenault started the year flying under the radar, a quick look at his current rostership rate tells you all you need to know about his growth in Jacksonville's offense. The rookie only featured in 31 snaps in Week 1 but hasn't played […]
Full Story »Henry Ruggs (WR, LV) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is probably the last time I will be able to (reasonably) write about Henry Ruggs as a WW target. His rostership is already at a high 44% in Yahoo! leagues, and the only thing keeping that value from sky-rocketing this week is […]
Full Story »Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cousins is playing to the level of a borderline-QB2 this season. In an offense that relies on the run quite heavily, Cousins has only attempted 139 passes through five games, while all Vikings players combined have logged 154 rushing attempts over the year. […]
Full Story »Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Team Leagues ROSTERED: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The idea of considering Derek Carr a great QB--let alone a superstar--is a little farfetched. And winning a game against mighty Kansas City is not going to change that perception. But. I have to say that I have always liked Carr's fantasy upside […]
