Facundo Campazzo (PG, DEN): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of leagues ANALYSIS: First things first: Monte Morris is back for the Nuggets and although he came off the pine in his first game back (30 minutes against Utah on Jan. 5) he already started on Friday against the Kings playing 31 minutes at the...

Hamidou Diallo (SG/SF, DET): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Shouts out to Hamidou Diallo and his haters! The first one gets the shout-out for his absolute dominance through the past couple of weeks of play; the latter group for losing faith too soon on a clearly ascending, developing, fantastic player doing it in... Read More
Nicolas Claxton (C, BKN): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even with all of the drama surrounding Kyrie Irving's situation, the Nets can't really complain that much about their health bill these days: only Kyrie (because of his home/away availability issues, though) and Joe Harris (ankle surgery) are out and sitting on... Read More
Patty Mills (PG/SG, BKN): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: The best fantasy GMs have always said that leagues aren't won by draft day, but rather through the in-season waiver-wire management. And they could very well be right, considering fools out there are still passing on Patty Mills and his half-Yahoo availability.... Read More
Malik Monk (PG/SG, LAL): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: This might not be entirely true, but wins are starting to pile up for the Lakers and that started to happen the minute Malik Monk was put into the starting lineup. As real as it gets. It's been four weeks in a... Read More
Herb Jones (SF/PF, NOLA): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: The New Orleans Pelicans might not be so good, but that also might mean that they are fully committed to developing their young building blocks. It is not that NOLA is throwing the season away while waiting for Zion's comeback (if that... Read More
Eric Bledsoe (PG/SG, LAC): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: Seven games played by the Clippers after Christmas, and six starts for Eric Bledsoe in this span (to go with another 36-minute outing as part of the starting five on Dec. 22). Bledsoe has taken full advantage of the Clips woes on... Read More
Alec Burks (PG/SG/SF, NYK): Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess there are no doubts left regarding where the Knicks are at in their process to contention after what happened in 2021 and the start of 2022: nowhere close to the chip, that's where. The Knicks are a borderline play-in team... Read More
The Running Game Is Alive - NextGen Stats Analysis
Most fantasy GMs are already celebrating or lamenting their success or failure at fantasy football for the 2021 season. With the average, now-usual 17-week leagues already over, there are folks out there (most probably you're one if you're reading this) still fighting for the chip in the mighty, unpredictable, crazy Week 18 slate of games...

Cedrick Wilson (WR, DAL) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Are we sure Cedrick Wilson is going to be a WR2/WR3 play next weekend? Hard to say. Do we believe in his chances? You bet. The Cowboys are coming off a losing effort against Arizona in which Dallas lost starter WR Michael... Read More
Mac Jones (QB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As bouncy as Mac Jones has been, I legit doubt there is a better quarterback available in nearly two of each three Yahoo leagues at this point through the season with just one game to go. Yes, Mac has alternated QB1 and QB3... Read More
Braxton Berrios (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jets can't improve their draft position that much (they can still get the no. 3 pick, currently sitting at 4th) so it's not that they'll be playing for the L come Sunday's affair with the Bills. The Jets dropped a close... Read More
Dare Ogunbowale (RB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We already recommended targeting Dare Ogunbowale last week as a fantastic WW addition, and that isn't going to change getting into the last week of the season. Of course, this play wouldn't have been possible without James Robinson getting done for the... Read More
Zay Jones (WR, LV) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're one of the 99% fantasy GMs out there opting not to roster Zay Jones before Week 12: congratulations, you dodged a very hurting bullet. If you're one of the 99% fantasy GMs out there opting not to roster Zay Jones... Read More
Boston Scott (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For the number of times Boston Scott is out there at the time of the snap--not many--it's rather impressive how productive the tailback has been all season long. That shouldn't change in the last week of the year, and although Scott comes... Read More
Chuba Hubbard (RB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a few weeks of disappointments for those banking on Chuba Hubbard, the backup tailback finally showed his ceiling for a lowly Panthers squad that went on to lose another one to the Saints this past weekend. Not that the loss or... Read More
Dontrell Hilliard (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Titans have already clinched the AFC South division title, and that might mean they rest some bodies to keep them warm entering the postseason in a couple of weeks. That could mean that now-leading back D'Onta Foreman might lose some snaps... Read More
Jimmy Garoppolo (QB, SF) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A lot of voices have claimed for San Fran to start rookie Trey Lance at the quarterback position all year long, and that happened this past weekend because of Jimmy Garoppolo's thumb injury. Jimmy Garoppolo has not been anything even remotely close to... Read More
Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Both Gabriel Davis and teammate and fellow receiver Emmanuel Sanders missed Week 16 after hitting the protocols. One week later, Sanders didn't recover in time while Davis was available for the Bills. Davis wasn't the best player out there, I know, but... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12
The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to... Read More
Malik Monk (PG/SG, LAL): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kendrick Nunn and Anthony Davis are the only players out of the Lakers rotation entering 2022. The former has yet to play his first minutes donning Purple and Gold threads, and the latter should stay out for almost a month. Even then,... Read More
Terance Mann (SG/SF, LAC): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Clips are missing Paul George now and for the next three/four weeks. The Clips are, too, missing Kawhi for the full regular season. Brandon Boston Jr. just hit the protocols. And all of that made possible Terance Mann's comeback to the... Read More
Eric Bledsoe (PG/SG, LAC): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues ANALYSIS: Yes, I know we're stretching things a bit talking about a near-60% rostered player, but Eric Bledsoe is well worth the WW look just in case and much more the WW post this weekend. The Clippers' shelves are absolutely stacked these days... Read More
Alec Burks (PG/SG/SF, NYK): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kemba Walker missed three weeks of play from the end of November to mid-December as he came back to Thibs' rotation on Dec. 18 to score 29 points. Not bad. He even doubled-down on that with another 21-8-5 performance three days later,... Read More
Payton Pritchard (PG, BOS): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: Just in case: Dennis Schroder has missed time of late hitting the protocols but should be back from that as soon as possible. That, along with Marcus Smart also being back after missing a week, will cut Pritchard's upside down a bit,... Read More
DeMarcus Cousins (PF/C, MIL): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Bucks have three players on the shelves exiting 2021 and that means they are legit one of the healthiest teams in the Association. Really. Khris Middleton and Semi Ojeleye are out per team reports, and Brook Lopez will most probably miss... Read More
Eric Gordon (SG/SF, HOU): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Rockets started the year thinking about stinking so they applied a Hard-Tank model not giving Gordon a single chance at starting games until Nov. 17, 12 games into the season already. Since that game, though, Eric G. has started all games... Read More
Gary Harris (SG/SF, ORL): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think there is a team currently being hit harder by injuries/protocols as the Magic are these days. Orlando is missing all of Ross, Bamba, RoLo, Cole Anthony, Fultz, Okeke, and rookie-sensation Jalen Suggs. It's borderline impossible to think something like... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Update: after this post was written it was reported that Garoppolo got a thumb injury and might not be able to play this upcoming weekend. Keep an eye on the news as there has not been any clear report yet about his potential... Read More
