Full Story »STL , DEF - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (14+ teams) ANALYSIS: I'm going to go out an a limb with STL again this week. Why? They are facing a Houston offense who has four straight pick-six games in a row. This has caused a QB controversy- will Schaub start or Yates? Either way, I'm picking STL and […]
Full Story »PHI, DEF - Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Add in Standard Leagues (10+ teams) ANALYSIS: Philadelphia is not a great defense (31st out of 32), but they are facing rookie QB Mike Glennon, which improves their value.

Full Story »LaVon Brazil (WR, IND) – Waiver Wire Pickup
BALLER MOVE: Continue Monitoring ANALYSIS: Brazil has not played a single game this season due to a suspension.

The question is: will […]

San Francisco’s passing offense is ranked 31st out of 32 teams. That’s worse than the Jacksonville Jaguars! On Monday, head coach Jim Harbaugh stated that Crabtree is on […]
