Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Daniel Jones. That's where this article will begin and end. As one of the many analysts who mocked the Giants on draft day and held heavy skepticism about his prospects as an NFL quarterback, let me be the first to issue a formal apology to Mr. Jones. Of course, Giants fans know they can't have […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 4 Lightning Round

The better part of three weeks is in the fantasy football books, making those early trends very real -- for better or worse. One must still consider the matchups played thus far and those to come, but usage and volume are becoming reliable. Week 4 also brings the first bye week, with the Jets and […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

Some of you have been receiving outstanding results from the running backs that you selected during your draft process. Unfortunately, there are many of you who have endured injuries, disappointing output, and inconsistent patterns of usage with your runners. If that applies to you, then those unwanted outcomes have diminished your enthusiasm for some of […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

There are millions of fantasy football owners who probably need a tight end this week, one that can somehow replace one of the best tight ends in the NFL. The first bye week is upon us, and many fantasy owners will take a J.J. Watt-like hit at the tight end position because San Francisco’s George […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 4

This was a crazy week at the quarterback position, as the backups came out to play. We saw big performances from Daniel Jones, Kyle Allen, Gardner Minshew, and Teddy Bridgewater that few saw coming. With all these new names stepping forward, it'll be tough to know who's worth adding and who to leave on waivers. […]

Week 4 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2019 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

The main story of Week 3 was the fill-in quarterbacks...and how effective some of them were. That's going to throw a lot of our analysis of defenses into turmoil, and we've gotta be ready for Week 4. Below are RotoBaller's Week 4 defense tiers and rankings, or which defenses to stream, start and target off […]

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 4)

This is your weekly list of players to drop. I will do my best to limit this list to injured players and players you might consider holding. If you roster pure handcuffs or backups, obviously you can let them go at any time. The players on this list will, ideally, be guys that aren't clearly […]

Saquon Barkley Seeking Second Opinion

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is seeking a second opinion on his high ankle sprain with Dr. Robert Anderson on Wednesday, according to a source informed of the situation. Barkley is expected to be out four to six weeks after suffering the injury in the Week 3 win over the Buccaneers. Losing […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 4

Three weeks into the season we can start to finally suss out the difference between flukes and trends. If a player has one or two unexpectedly great games to start the year, that could be a coincidence. If a player has three straight? That's a sign they're balling capabilities ought to be taken seriously. And […]

Wayne Gallman (RB, NYG) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's rare that a player in Wayne Gallman's position ends up being so lightly owned. We usually think of most RB2s as rosterable players in most formats, but the Giants are a special situation, as Saquon Barkley's presence as the team's bell cow back […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: Well... While it's too early for the Daniel Jones naysayers to eat crow -- which is good since I was one of them -- his performance in Week 3 was good. Like, historically good. Rookies making their first NFL start don't put […]

Will Dissly (TE, SEA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Once again, Week 3 showed what the tight end landscape looks like. These are your top PPR scorers of the week: Darren Waller, Greg Olsen, Austin Hooper, Evan Engram, Jordan Akins, Will Dissly, Dawson Knox, Darren Fells. Of those, I'm betting my […]

Golden Tate (WR, NYG) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The time has come. Yes, Golden Tate won't be back until Week 5, but now is the perfect moment to get him before it's too late. The 10-year veteran enters his 11th season as one of best receivers the Giants will […]

Buy-Low Targets: Players Potentially on the Move

Last year's deadline was not the most active, but it did include some offensive movement across the league. Golden Tate was traded from Detroit to Philadelphia. Demaryius Thomas was dealt from Denver to Houston. Carlos Hyde got cut from Cleveland and ended up in Jacksonville. Most notably, Amari Cooper was sent from Oakland to Dallas. […]

Saquon Barkley Possibly Out Through Bye Week

New York Giants star running back Saquon Barkley was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, and there is speculation that the team could hold him out through the Week 11 bye. This would obviously be a deadly blow for both the Giants and fantasy teams. If this were to come true, it would put Barkley […]

Aldrick Rosas Has Fantasy Value Again

With the New York Giants finding new life under rookie quarterback Daniel Jones, it seems like kicker Aldrick Rosas has fantasy viability again. The Pro Bowler knocked in all three of his extra points and cleared the uprights on his only field goal attempt, from 36 yards out. If Daniel Jones continues to look at […]

Giants Defense Remains Awful In Win

The New York Giants Defense did everything they could to lose the game on Sunday. After Daniel Jones led the Giants to a go-ahead score with just over a minute left, the secondary inexplicably let Mike Evans beat them over the top. It took a missed 34-yard field goal for the Giants to hold onto […]

Wayne Gallman Takes Over For Barkley

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman took over for Saquon Barkley after Barkley left early with an ankle injury on Sunday. The only issue is that the Giants were coming from behind and didn’t use Gallman much. He finished the day with just five carries for 13 yards. The Giants are likely to go […]

Darius Slayton Impressive In First NFL Game

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton looked good in his first NFL game. After missing the first two weeks with a hamstring injury, Slayton immediately slotted in as the Giants deep threat with Cody Latimer (concussion) out. Daniel Jones looked his way for a few big plays, and it looks like Slayton has a […]

Sterling Shepard Looks Good In Return

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard looked great in his return from a concussion on Sunday, catching seven of his nine targets for 100 yards and a touchdown. The big day may have been at least partially due to the Bucs secondary, but Shepard was also elusive in space and clearly has the confidence […]

Daniel Jones Era Begins In Style

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones played the hero on Sunday for the Giants. He completed 23 of 36 passes for 336 yards with two TDs and zero INTs, while also rushing four times for 28 yards and two TDs, including the eventual game winner with 1:20 to play. It’s hard to overstate how much […]

Saquon Barkley Possibly Looking At Multi-Week Absence

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is looking at a possible multi-week absence after suffering an ankle sprain on Sunday. The Giants are expecting him to miss “some time,” but there has been no indication of whether that means a trip to the IR or not. Obviously, it’s a massive blow for the Giants […]

Evan Engram Still Top Weapon For Giants

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram didn’t miss a beat going from Eli Manning to Daniel Jones, securing six of his eight targets for 113 yards and one TD. Engram made a ridiculous one-handed catch in the first half and looked like Jones’ first read for much of the afternoon, including on the final […]

Saquon Barkley Returns to Sideline in Walking Boot

After leaving the game shortly before halftime with an ankle injury suffered against Tampa Bay, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley returned to the sidelines with a protective boot on his right foot. While the results of his x-rays have not yet been released, Barkley was using crutches to get around on what appeared […]

Saquon Barkley Questionable to Return

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is questionable to return after suffering an ankle injury against the Tampa Bay Bucs. He suffered a minor injury earlier in the game but returned. This one appears to be more severe and with the Giants already down 25-10, they may choose not to rush their star back. […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 3) - Targets and Avoids

The Patriots look unstoppable, the Steelers look like toast, and the Ravens look like they'll control the AFC North. I gave out the Pats and Ravens, got burned on Pitt, but wisely avoided the Panthers.  Like I wrote last week, don't overreact just yet. It's only two games. I understand it's already an eighth of […]
