NextGen Stats - Quarterback Breakdowns and Takeaways

Things finally got serious. If you're here, it's only because of one of two reasons: 1) you have followed the series all along and want to keep reading just so you don't feel bad with yourself, or 2) you won your first round of the fantasy playoffs and are still on the lookout for the […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 10

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 […]

P.J. Tucker (PF/C, MIA): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: You know something's popping when P.J. Tucker's rostership goes from 13% (last Sunday) to a rather high 35% as I'm writing this. What is happening is that Miami is missing Markieff Morris, Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo (and Victor Oladipo, if you wish) […]

Garrison Matthews (SG/SF, HOU): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this post mere hours after Houston made it official: Danuel House is no longer a Rocket after the official NASA Franchise cut him for good to make room for Matthews on a proper, no-two-way deal to become a full-time Rock […]

Kevon Looney (PF/C, GSW): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Looney wasn't available at the start of the season--he played his first game on Nov. 10--and then he went on to miss a couple of weeks at the end of November and the start of December. He's now back and in full […]

Facundo Campazzo (PG, DEN): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: Facu played just one game before Nov. 14, the day he finally came back to stay on the ration ROS. Since that day (included), Facu has played 15 more matches logging an average of 26 MPG always coming off the pine for […]

Isaiah Hartenstein (PF/C, LAC): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS:  When it comes to reliable, low-maintenance players doing it on a daily basis, the truth is that you won't find many more valuable plays than adding Isaiah Hartenstein to your roster this season. I'm not going to fool you into believing Hartenstein […]

Luke Kennard (SG/SF, LAC): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Right when we were starting to have serious doubts about Luke Kennard's future in this League, he went on and put on some consecutive bangers. Sure thing, he was helped by Paul George's injured elbow and subsequent missed time, of course, but […]

Danilo Gallinari (SF/PF, ATL): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: Italo Disco was always my father's music genre of choice. Makes sense Danilo Gallinari is my under-the-radar player of choice, then. Gallinari, who started the year on a putrid run of performances, has finally improved his game and although he's still no […]

Kevin Love (PF/C, CLE): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 58% of leagues ANALYSIS: Sure thing, that rostership is clearly above my self-imposed 50% threshold. But adding Kevin Love while you still can is looking like a very solid move to do these days. That's because Love is putting up numbers for the Cavs and whether Clevelands holds […]

Chris Duarte (SG, IND): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS:  I know Chris Duarte has not been as good as advertised of late. I know, for sure. But Duarte keeps playing more than 22 minutes per game for an Indiana Pacers franchise that--as much as they want you to fall into believing […]

Tyus Jones (PG, MEM): Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS:  It's been 11 straight starts for Tyus Jones at the Grizzlies point guard slot. Perks of playing for a team with an injured starter (Ja Morant) at the position that is now also hitting the COVID protocols (entered last Wednesday). Jones has […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 45: Lewis vs. Daukaus

The closing event of the year, folks. As sad as that sounds. Now, if you're coming here looking for fireworks and unexpected results such as last weekend's (I have yet to get out of shock-state after watching Amanda Nunes lose her belt), I'm afraid we're not going to get those. But if you're here to […]

The closing event of the year, folks. As sad as that sounds. Now, if you're coming here looking for fireworks and unexpected results such as last weekend's (I have yet to get out of shock-state after watching Amanda Nunes lose her belt), I'm afraid we're not going to get those.

The Running Game Is Alive! NextGen Stats Analysis

You won't believe it, but you weren't dreaming: the fantasy football regular season is over (in most leagues and for our purposes at least), and it's time to gear up for that deep playoff run toward the championship. It's just three more weeks and fantasy contests for most GMs out there, so if you're still […]

Jalen Guyton (WR, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not going to convince you of what Jalen Guyton is not: a bona fide oft-used WR. But let me at least build a case for Guyton's addition ROS, even more in deeper leagues out there with needy GMs trying to make […]

Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After missing Week 13 injured, Allen Lazard came back this past Sunday to take the field for the Packers against division-rival Chicago... and he couldn't have had a better return. Lazard had never dropped from playing at least 59% of the team's […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm glad I rooted for Amon-Ra St. Brown from day one. I feel vindicated. QB Jared Goff has been as bad as ever, yes, but somehow Amon-Ra has stayed above water more often than not. ASB is putting up numbers weekly […]

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Seahawks added living legend Adrian Peterson to the fold in time for Week 13, but the veteran could only feature on a low 16 snaps and then proceeded to miss Week 14 entirely while recovering from injury. Penny, who played 29 […]

Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After missing two consecutive games in the W11-W13 span, Fields came back to man the Bears pocket this past Sunday at Green Bay, and hey, he did more than enough to get back to most fantasy GMs (in deeper formats, that is) […]

Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Emmanuel Sanders was forced out of Sunday's affair with Tampa Bay just 25 snaps into the game, and Gabriel Davis was the next man-up boy in the Bills offense. And oh, boy, did he deliver the goodies taking on that WR2 role […]

Robby Anderson (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Odds are you either love or hate Robby Anderson with no middle ground to those feelings. Makes sense, all things considered, given his swings in usage, level of play, and fantasy upside while being part of a nonsensical team in Carolina. But […]

Rashod Bateman (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before we get started, let me tell you what happened last Sunday in a few words around the Ravens squad: Lamar Jackson got banged up and forced out of the W14 game. That, obviously, is supposed to impact Baltimore's wideouts if only […]

Davis Mills (QB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't even bother looking at past performance in comparison to defensive rank against fantasy QBs when it comes to assessing Davis Mills' value. He's just been all over the place, this guy. That said, though, he has been named the Texans starter ROS […]

James Washington (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'd be lying if I said that James Washington has been a top-tier performer in the 2021 NFL season. Far from it, actually. But hey, that's why this man is barely rostered (if at all) in most fantasy leagues! But Washington is […]

K.J. Osborn (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: K.J. Osborn's rostership before W14: 3%; after W14: 38%. The impact of injuries, folks, as Adam Thielen got banged up and missed last TNF entirely, opening the door to Justin Jefferson and prior-afterthought Osborn to excel. The truth is, Osborn already thrived […]

Ben Roethlisberger (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is hard to get enamored of Ben Roethlisberger these days, even more, if you only pay attention to hot-take Twitter. But Big Ben has been more than a capable quarterback for the 2021 fantasy season, and in fact, he's coming off […]
