It's the final week of the regular season, and FanDuel kicks us off with six games on the Monday main slate. The Rockies are on the road, so that takes some of their bats off our boards. Still, we get a couple of rough pitchers facing off in the hitting-friendly confines of Truist Park in […]

Full Story »Myles Gaskin (RB, MIA) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Forget about Jordan Howard. Forget about Matt Breida. Raise your hand to hail Miami Dolphins leading-back Myles Gaskin. Who would have thought... After getting the former two tailbacks this past offseason, Miami is running everything through second-year man Myles Gaskin this season. The […]
Full Story »Jordan Akins (TE, HOU) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: They called a man crazy for recommending rostering Jordan Akins after his Week 1 performance. Now, they are calling him a visionary. Thank you, thank you, but I had this feeling I was going to be right. Sure, Akins W1 stats were the […]
Full Story »Jordan Reed (TE, SF) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When you have a stud at the tight end position such as San Francisco does (George Kittle), you don't really care about the rest of the personnel there. Unless your starting weapon goes down injured, which is exactly what happened this weekend. […]
Full Story »Logan Thomas (TE, WAS) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After four years in the league providing little production, it looked like Logan Thomas had finally found his mojo to kick 2020 off. Thomas logged 52 snaps in Week 1, was targeted a nice eight times, and hauled in half of those […]
Full Story »Mo Alie-Cox (TE, IND) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jack Doyle being the TE1 of a team featuring a bunch of more-than-capable rushers and a couple of good receivers at least, it makes sense to find Mo Alie-Cox available in virtually every league. Doyle, though, missed Week 2 injured, and that […]
Full Story »Andy Isabella (WR, ARI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: At least at this point of the season, don't consider adding Isabella unless you can stash him or you happen to play in a super-deep league. It mostly comes down to his usage going forward and seeing how things develop between Arizona's offense […]
Full Story »Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Rodgers had a fantastic start to the season in Week 1 passing for a monster 364 yards and four touchdowns. Throwing 44 passes, it made sense to find all of Green Bay's wideouts getting at least four targets each and racking up […]
Full Story »Darnell Mooney (WR, CHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 16+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You won't find Mooney-talk around often. While that is reasonable to a certain extent, it is to another. Let me explain. Mooney has only logged six targets through Week 2, but he's caught all of them for 74 combined yards and a touchdown. […]
Full Story »Frank Gore (RB, NYJ) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: 37-year-old New York Jets running back Frank Gore was the team's primary ball-carrier in Week 2, rushing the ball 21 times for 63 yards. Rookie La'Mical Perine was the only other running back on the team to earn multiple carries as he rushed […]
Full Story »Chris Thompson (RB, JAX) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson saw his role increase in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Thompson caught three of his four targets for 20 yards and a touchdown and also added two carries for seven yards in the game. James […]
Full Story »Gardner Minshew II (QB, JAX) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I already wrote about Minshew last week, and here I am again introducing you to the Minshewmania once more, just in case you missed it the last time. See, I get the critics dropped on Minshew for his fourth-quarter interception that sealed the […]
Full Story »Drew Sample (TE, CIN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This is the ultimate flier of waiver wire pickups. I wouldn't blame you if you hadn't heard Drew Sample's name prior to this week, but here we are. C.J. Uzomah's, the Bengals TE1, fell down to an Achilles injury in the fourth […]
Full Story »Tee Higgins (WR, CIN) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Higgins fell one pick short of becoming a first-round draftee this past draft, the Bengals spent the 33rd-overall selection on the Clemson product. You don't waste such a high pick on someone you don't trust, so what we saw on Week 1 […]
