Welcome back, RotoBallers, to my League of Legends DFS column! We only have a few more slates of LOL this year so let's relish the remaining time we have together! I know you all tune in for the lengthy boring break downs of these matchups, but we're going to be brief today. Many of these […]
Full Story »Mo Alie-Cox (TE, IND) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox has posted solid fantasy games in three straight weeks now and all indications seem to be headed for a breakout season for the third-year pro. Alie-Cox scored the Colts' only touchdown in Week 4. It was a […]
Full Story »Ke'Shawn Vaughn (RB, TB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn saw his first NFL action in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers and came away with his first career touchdown in the game. Vaughn caught a key nine-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady […]
Full Story »Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ PPR Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Somehow, fantasy GMs keep forgetting about Darnell Money and have him rostered in just 1 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is to say have him pretty much unrostered at all. See, Chicago is far from a great team, has already benched its […]
Full Story »Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Josh Allen could very well win you the league, Gabriel Davis probably won't. That doesn't matter if you happen to play in a deeper competition, though, as Allen's season and current run should raise the upside of every receiver near him going […]
Full Story »Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is definitely a temporary fix and patch to apply in your lineups, not much more. But that rostership near-30% tells you all you need to know, though. With stud WR Michael Thomas injured and Jared Cook also missing time at the TE […]
Full Story »Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR, JAX) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A second-round draftee, the rookie Laviska Shenault Jr. is turning into one of the most reliable receivers out there this season. Although he's third in snaps played for the Jaguars, Shenault is just three shy of DJ Chark Jr.'s mark (159) for […]
Full Story »Scotty Miller (WR, TB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In an offense that features the likes of Mike Evans, O.J. Howard, Chris Godwin, and Rob Gronkowski, you'd be forgiven for not paying much attention to whatever Scotty Miller is doing. That'd be if he wasn't actually the second-best receiver playing for […]
Full Story »Tee Higgins (WR, CIN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Rookie QB Joe Burrow hasn't had the easiest of starts to his career. Cincinnati has been trailing more often than not, and that has forced the quarterback to throw the hell out of the ball every single week. That has translated in 110 […]
Full Story »Chase Edmonds (RB, ARI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenyan Drake and Chase Edmonds are the only two players to share duties on Arizona's backfield. Makes sense, considering the team traded for stud WR DeAndre Hopkins and features mighty Kyler Murray at quarterback. The thing is, Edmonds has been the much more […]
Full Story »Reggie Bonnafon (RB, CAR) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's make things clear here: Bonnafon is the patch of a patch, so make sure you only acquire him if you can do so for absolutely-freaking-free or pass on him. With Christian McCaffrey down to injury, the Panthers were forced to play Mike Davis […]
Full Story »Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Finally, after four weeks, Minnesota could score itself a win. Bravo! Betting on the Vikings passing game is a tall order, I'm not going to lie to you there. Minny is built on the rushing game, and then just flashes some booming passing/receiving […]
Full Story »Justin Herbert (QB, LAC) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: God bless the doctor who punctured Tyrod Taylor's lung. No, seriously, I hope Taylor recovers soon and everything is good with him, but had that not happened we might have gone through 2020 without watching Herbert at all, who knows? With Taylor out since […]
Full Story »Teddy Bridgewater (QB, CAR) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Teddy B has surprised some folks, but he's been good to have Carolina at an even 2-2 through four weeks of play while not being bad at manning the offense from the pocket. While Bridgewater won't win you the league, he's been a […]
