BALLER MOVE: Add immediately in all leagues. ANALYSIS: While Bell has been claimed in most leagues, he is still available in many. Joique is a versatile back who has put up huge numbers so far, especially considering he’s a backup. Reggie Bush is in no danger of losing his starting role, but his injury list is growing. […]
Full Story »Mikel Leshoure (RB, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Stash in deeper leagues (12+ teams). ANALYSIS: Mikel Leshoure is available in 90% of leagues. This is probably not a shock to most, considering he has yet to register a carry, but he is worth stashing in deeper leagues. Last season, Leshoure put up over 1,000 yards from scrimmage with nine touchdowns on […]
Full Story »Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, ATL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in deeper leagues (12+ teams) ANALYSIS: Only consider Rodgers if you are desperately thin at RB. Depending on the severity of Steven Jackson‘s injury, Rodgers could see some time as a starter in a timeshare with Jason Snelling. That said, Snelling outperformed Rodgers in Week Two, running for 19 yards and a touchdown on […]
Full Story »James Starks (RB, GB) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add immediately in all leagues. ANALYSIS: With Eddie Lacy leaving Week Two with a concussion, Starks made the most of his opportunity to head Green Bay’s rushing attack. The versatile Starks ran roughshod over the suspect Redskins’ defense to the tune of 132 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. He also added 36 receiving […]
Full Story »Kellen Winslow, Jr. (TE, NYJ) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Winslow was good in Week One against Tampa Bay with seven catches for 79 yards and one TD, but he failed miserably against the Patriots– he only caught three passes for 39 yards.

Full Story »Coby Fleener (TE, IND) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE; Continue Scouting ANALYSIS: Fleener had a better game in his second week of action for the Colts, as he caught four passes for 69 yards with one TD. This was a huge increase in production as he only caught one pass for seven yards in Week One against Oakland. I would wait to see if […]
Full Story »Charles Clay (TE, MIA) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Clay had another solid game for the Dolphins, catching five passes for 109 yards against the Colts with one receiving touchdown, averaging 21.8 yards per reception.

Full Story »Alex Smith (QB, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Andy Reid favors the passing game and it looks like he is already rejuvenating Smith’s career. Through two games, Smith has utilized a conservative passing approach that has him completing 42 out of 70 passes for an average yards per completion of 5.66. He is going to be careful with the ball and […]
Full Story »Deandre Hopkins (WR, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (10+ teams PPR& Standard) ANALYSIS: For many years Houston has been lacking a #2 punch to Andre Johnson in the receiving corps. This year, Houston drafted ‘Nuke’ to be that guy and in week 2 we saw what he’s capable of (117 yards, 1 TD). There are people within the organization that believe […]
Full Story »Josh Gordon (WR, CLE) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately (8+ teams PPR & Standard) ANALYSIS: Last year Gordon burst onto the NFL season posting a strong season with 805 yards and 5 TDs.

Full Story »Philip Rivers (QB, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Rivers’s Week Two performances against the over-discussed Eagles more than made up for his subpar Week One game against the Texans. Rivers eviscerated the Eagles D, going for 419 yards, three TDs and a 76.6% completion rate. Upcoming games against Tennessee, Oakland, Dallas, Indianapolis and Jacksonville are not particularly […]
Full Story »Matt Schaub (QB, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: In his first two games, Schaub has had 45 and 48 pass attempts, putting him second in the league in PA behind only Joe Flacco. Schaub benefits from a stud offense with Arian Foster, Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins that will open up the field and score points. The Texans put up 298 passing yards against the […]
Full Story »Saints (Defense, NOS)
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues (12+ teams Standard) for Week 3 ANALYSIS: Who dat? Surprisingly New Orleans has a seemingly solid defense this year and they have their new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan for that. So far they have 4 turnovers on the year and face the Cardinals who may be without Fitzgerald. If […]
Full Story »Sam Bradford (QB, STL) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS; Bradford followed up his Week One 299-yard performance with an even better Week Two stat line. 352 yards, three TDs and 55 pass attempts.
