Malik Beasley (PG/SG, MIN): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: The arrival of Anthony Edwards last season surely brought Malik Beasley's upside down a notch, and there is nothing wrong about that. Edwards has delivered goodies steadily for the Wolves, keeps improving, and there is nothing stopping Ant the Man. But Malik […]

Pat Connaughton (SG/SF, MIL): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: With Donte DiVincenzo still to come back from injury this season, and Khris Middleton out of the lineup since Oct. 30, it's been quite a busy start to the year for Pat Connaughton. Patty has started the last three games and six […]

Anfernee Simons (PG/SG, POR): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: Just when you thought there could be no more noise surrounding Damian Lillard--and Portland by extension--the point guard went on and kicked the year off wildly underperforming to date. The trade rumors will never stop, obviously, but now that Lillard is also […]

Hassan Whiteside (C, UTA): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: See, Rudy Gobert hasn't missed more than four games in any of the past three years. He's gone on to play in the All-Star on back-to-back campaigns in 2020 and 2021. He's averaged 31+ MPG in the last six full seasons--and running. […]

Derrick Rose (PG/SG, NYK): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm writing this post just hours after watching Derrick Rose put together his best game of the 2021 season: 23 points, 8 rebounds, 4 dimes, 2 steals, and a marvelous 55.6% shooting on a season-high 18 FGA while going 1-for-1 at the […]

Grayson Allen (SG/SF, MIL): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Are we sure Giannis is the best player on the Bucks roster? Seriously? Obviously, that's obvious. What I mean by that is that nobody is touching Giannis, nor Khris Middleton, nor Jrue Holiday for that matter either, but what about Grayson Allen's […]

LaMarcus Aldridge (PF/C, BKN): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: For what is worth, LaMarcus Aldridge is flying completely under the radar to kick the year off and that should definitely not be the case. For some reason, Brooklyn keeps starting Blake Griffin while deploying LMA off the pine. I mean, it's working wonders […]

Gary Payton II (PG/SG, GSW): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: Peep the minutes played by The Mini Glove: 0, 0, outlier-17, 5, 9, 6, real-18, solidified-18. That's correct. Gary Payton II is just bulldozing his way toward a bulkier role and playing time for the Warriors. It's just as simple as that. […]

Jalen Brunson (PG/SG, DAL): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 57% of leagues ANALYSIS: First of all, forgive me for going this much over the 50-percent rostership self-imposed threshold. If you go to your WW and don't find Jalen Brunson sitting right there, I'm sorry, honestly. But Brunson's rostership has gone from 32% on Nov. 3 to […]

Thaddeus Young (PF/C, SAS): Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: Thaddeus Young's rostership percentage hasn't moved a lot from the season's tip-off to his current mark of 40%. That's because fantasy GMs entered the year attracted to the veteran's upside after his 2020 season playing for the Bulls. The thinking went if […]

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you remember, the Jaguars traded for Dan Arnold a few weeks ago and Arnold debuted for Jacksonville back in Week 4... only to put up a dud of just 4.9 PPR points against Cincy. All he could do back then was […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC 268: Usman vs. Covington 2 (Premium Content)

I don't think I need to remember you about what happened the last time we had a numbered UFC event. I mean, I could do so, but it's not that we have had a lot of time to forget about it: it took place last Saturday and, adding wood to our memory fire it was […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC 268: Usman vs. Covington 2

I don't think I need to remember you about what happened the last time we had a numbered UFC event. I mean, I could do so, but it's not that we have had a lot of time to forget about it: it took place last Saturday and, adding wood to our memory fire it was […]

The Running Game Is Alive! NextGen Stats Analysis

We're officially past mid-season and if that doesn't make you sad enough, how about the fact that even the trade deadline has passed us now? Eh? Was that what ultimately broke your hopes of football staying on forever? Too bad. The good news, as always, is that a new week full of games is ahead. […]

Brandon Aiyuk (WR, SF) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: QB Jimmy G got banged up a bit and missed a few games through the past few weeks leading up to San Francisco's Week 6 Bye. He's now been back for two straight games--he already put up a QB2 score in Week […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After missing ample time (out from W5 to W7, both included) DeVante Parker finally came back last Sunday to man the outside of Miami's receiving corps at Buffalo. And he couldn't have looked better than he did against a tough D like […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We have yet to see Jamison Crowder put more than three consecutive games together, but we should be getting there as soon as the end of next week's slate of games. That's because JC missed all games through Week 3 to start […]

Carson Wentz (QB, IND) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Carson Wentz, this season's Indy Colts starting quarterback, is far from an afterthought although most fantasy GMs out there would make you believe that. Thank God we have rostership data to back up reality instead of having to rely on foolish takes. Wentz […]

Randall Cobb (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Of course, and before we get started, you need to understand why Randall Cobb played his way to a WR17-overall and WR2-realm finish last Thursday: both Allen Lazard and Davante Adams missed TNF and TE Robert Tonyan was injured while at it. […]

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If that game against Buffalo was the last one we will get to watch from Tua Tagovailoa donning Miami's threads, I don't know yet. The trade deadline is set to be crossed this Tuesday, and as we get there maybe the Fins […]

A.J. Green (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 56% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm breaking the rules with this pick as we're past the 50-percent rostership mark, but I just felt the need to write about veteran wideout and freshest Cardinal A.J. Green getting past the middle point of the season. In 2020 it took […]

Elijah Moore (WR, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know. Trusting a rookie wide receiver might be hard to do. Trusting a rookie wide receiver playing for a rookie quarterback might be even harder. Trusting a rookie wide receiver playing for a rookie quarterback that is the backup of another […]

Quez Watkins (WR, PHI) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What if Quez Watkins was playing 85% of the Eagles offensive snaps weekly? What if Quez Watkins was getting some 5+ targets per week? What if Quez Watkins was a ball-hog instead of a secondary/tertiary option in Philadelphia? Well, those are a […]

Darnel Mooney (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think the Chicago Bears offense is salvageable at this point, but for what it is, and with rookie QB Justin Fields finally shaking off some of the growing pains, are we looking at a relatively nice play in the likes […]
