Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Things have been clicking in a pretty big way for the Indianapolis offense of late, and many players are getting in on the action. At first glance, it would appear that rookie running back Nyheim Hines is too far back in line […]

Donte Moncrief (WR, JAX) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As unfortunately as things have been going for the Jacksonville Jaguars, 2018 has been a kind campaign to Donte Moncrief. So far this season Moncrief has led the team in targets with 63, and even though he is only third on the roster […]

Tyler Johnson (PG/SG, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: On a roster full of Swiss Army Knife-type players, Tyler Johnson held down a well-rounded stat line for three years now for the Miami Heat. Although his role on the team has been decreasing ever-so slightly over the last few years, Johnson is […]

Jeff Green (SF/PF, WSH) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: Jeff Green's successful scoring to start the season shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Currently scoring 10.4 points per game, Green has failed to average double-digit scoring figures in just two of his twelve years as an NBA player. Now, did anyone […]

DeMarre Carroll (SF/PF, BKN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: For years DeMarre Carroll has been a reliable "three-and-D" forward with a career three-point percentage of 36.2% and an upside in rebounding to the tune of 6.4 rebounds per game over the last two years. This year however, having gotten a late start […]

Jeremy Lin (PG/SG, ATL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been seemingly a lifetime since "Linsanity" and it's also been a lengthy stretch of time since Jeremy Lin has seen considerable NBA court time (before his 13 games this season he had played just 37 games since 2016). From the surface, Lin's […]

Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As of the start of week nine, Tyler Higbee had accumulated just 70 receiving yards on just six receptions out of a mere eleven targets with a single touchdown reception through the first eight games of the season for the Rams. Now, over […]

Collin Sexton (PG, CLE) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: It has hardly been an ideal start to his rookie-season for Collin Sexton, the former star of the Alabama Crimson Tide who was drafted eighth-overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers this past summer. In 23 minutes per game Sexton has averaged just 2.3 rebounds, […]

Shelvin Mack (PG, MEM) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Shelvin Mack has long been a backup point guard in the NBA and for the most part has served in a limited role. However, this season for the Memphis Grizzlies has seen the "Mack-Attack" on the floor more than he ever has been […]

Antonio Callaway (WR, CLE) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Browns are a roster stocked with young offensive weapons, and they have already come a long way from their 0-16 mark from last season. Baker Mayfield is now passing for 252.6 yards per game, and he has been able to spread […]

Kapri Bibbs (RB, WSH) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kapri Bibbs hasn't exactly garnered a whole lot of attention out of the Redskins backfield as he ranks fourth on the team in carries (13) and rushing yards (56) behind Adrian Peterson, Alex Smith, and Chris Thompson. However, even with Alex Smith […]

Alfred Morris (RB, SF) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The San Francisco 49ers have been plagued by a lot of uncertainty in their passing game this season. Behind Jimmy Garoppolo, C.J. Beathard, and Nick Mullens, they rank 25th in the NFL so far with 219.9 passing yards per game. As a result, […]

Bryn Forbes (PG, SA) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: With such a different-look Spurs roster for the 2018 NBA campaign, it shouldn't be a huge surprise that certain players have seen a huge expansion in their on-court roles, and Bryn Forbes has exemplified this transition. Last season Forbes was only able to […]

Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After an already incredible fourteen seasons in the NFL, longtime veteran Frank Gore is still shouldering the load of the backfield in Miami, where he was once a member of the infamous "U". He got off to a rough start for the 2018 […]

Anthony Miller (WR, CHI) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As a rookie out of the University of Memphis, Anthony Miller got off to a slow start with the Chicago Bears, accruing just 25 receiving yards off of four receptions from six targets (with the first TD of his career) through the first […]

Cody Zeller (PF/C, CHA) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues (or if you need PTS + REB) OWNED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: Cody Zeller's hair line may be receding like it's running from something really, really scary, but that doesn't mean that he hasn't been going to work in the Charlotte frontcourt to start the season (and put […]

Nerlens Noel (PF/C, OKC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues (or if you need REB + BLK) OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: It always seems like just as Nerlens Noel seems on the cusp of fading into obscurity, he finds a new spark of life to his game. Although he ranks just ninth on the Thunder roster in […]

Geoff Swaim (TE, DAL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's get a disclaimer out of the way up front: Geoff Swaim is currently dealing with a sprained MCL that forced him out of the contest in week seven and has now put his week nine status against the Tennessee Titans in doubt. […]

Ronald Jones II (RB, TB) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Former USC Trojan Ronald Jones II didn't play in his first NFL game for Tampa Bay until week four, and he hasn't exactly set the football world on fire since his debut. Through his first three professional games, he has accumulated a mere […]

Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Due to a highly unfortunate Uber ride, Jameis Winston didn't make a start for Tampa Bay until week four of the 2018 season when his suspension was up. It just so happens that week four is also when Adam Humphries started to […]

O.J. Howard (TE, TB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jameis Winston loves to work with big targets down the field, and at 6-6 and 251 lbs., the former Crimson Tide tight end O.J. Howard qualifies as a heavyweight option. There are a few obvious competitors for work in the passing-game above Howard […]

Kyle Juszczyk (RB, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Things looked pretty grim for the San Francisco passing-game when Jimmy Garoppolo started the season off on such a lackluster note. After his torn ACL forced C.J. Beathard to take over after three games and produce just 223 passing yards with six […]

Terrelle Pryor (WR, NYJ) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There always seems to be an aura of reluctance surrounding Terrelle Pryor in regard to how fantasy football managers value him, but that might have to change considering Quincy Enunwa is likely going to be out of commission for a month. Pryor's volume […]

Geronimo Allison (WR, GB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Aaron Rodgers has started off the 2018 season ranked eighth in the NFL with 314.4 passing yards-per-contest, and has already thrown ten touchdown passes through the first five games, while the Green Bay ground-attack has been good for just 101.2 rushing yards […]

Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It may seem like a strange time to invest in Devontae Booker, considering that so far through five games he has only accrued 36 rushing yards on just eleven carries, not to mention the fact that he has failed to put up […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 52% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars offense has been nicely bolstered this season by the presence of a few key emergent receivers, and at the forefront of that movement so far has been Dede Westbrook. The Jags passing game has been relatively strong so far […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a particularly emergent year in it's own right of 2017, Keelan Cole has seemingly picked up right where he left off out of the Jacksonville receiving core. While he has had to contend with competition from fellow Jaguars Dede Westbrook and Donte […]

Jalen Richard (RB, OAK) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite a rock start to the year, Jon Gruden and Derek Carr have certainly found ways to effectively deploy members of the Oakland backfield. While "Beast Mode" has managed to bulldoze his way past opponents this year for 300 rushing yards and three […]

Courtland Sutton (WR, DEN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Courtland Sutton may not be off to a world-shocking start like some other receivers in this year's rookie class, but he has had an encouraging start to the 2018 campaign for Denver with optimistic signs regarding his play for the rest of the […]
