Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It feels to me like Christian Kirk just landed in the NFL a season ago, yet the truth is that Kirk is playing his fourth campaign as a pro in 2021. Last year seemed to be the true breakout season for Kirk […]

Tim Patrick (WR, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sound the alarms, boyz. Jerry Jeudy got injured yesterday in the Denver Broncos opening game after logging 31 snaps and while putting up some very solid numbers. Later it was known that Jeudy will miss between 6 and 8 weeks, which makes […]

Taylor Heinicke (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Hear me out. This is the craziest and riskiest of bets you'll be going for this week, but it could very well pay off if only next weekend. After a quarter of play and already into the second one, starter QB Ryan Fitzpatrick […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You have definitely heard about the signing of Kenny Golladay with the Giants, am I right? Sure. But, I'm sad to report, Sterling Shepard stays strong as Big Blue's no. 1 wide receiver for another season, whether you like it or not. It […]

Dalton Schultz (TE, DAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I remember when Dalton Schultz's breakout season came completely out of left field last year. After back-to-back campaigns of playing 11+ games but not even reaching 26 PPR among those two seasons combined, Schultz was given the TE1 role in Dallas last year […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In this the 2021 year of our lord, Cole Beasley is still, somehow, rostered in less than half of Yahoo fantasy football leagues. Some things one will never understand... Beasley has been flying under the radar for years now, but he […]

Zach Pascal (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You know something is wrong when your top-two targeted players are both starting plays off the backfield. That's what happened with Indianapolis' offense in Week 1, as both Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines finished with 7 and 8 targets respectively, and […]

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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: To find DeVante Parker available in more than 60% of Yahoo leagues makes no sense to me. I could expect some sort of low rostership because Miami isn't an otherworldly team, and the offense of the Dolphins is quite crowded after this […]

Nelson Agholor (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I loved Nelson Agholor last year. He became a weekly write-up on the WW column, and the truth is that I never got to understand why the super-low rostership when it came to this man and fantasy GMs. I guess folks out […]

Jared Cook (TE, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jared was just the third-best Cook in fantasy leagues to have played through Sunday games. Dalvin and Brandin (yes, he's Cooks, but still) were much better, but Jared Cook's 10.6 PPR points against Washington were good enough to make Cook a TE1 on […]

Van Jefferson (WR, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Van Jefferson is a second-year player and he appeared in all 16 games for the Rams last season, the truth is that he was barely used by Los Angeles in 2020. Jefferson logged only 31 targets for 19 receptions and 220 […]

James White (RB, NE) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another game, another steady performance by the most reliable of rushers doing it in the NFL. James White only played 28 snaps (37% of all offensive plays) for the Pats this weekend, but those reps were enough to watch him putting […]

Elijah Mitchell (RB, SF) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Who would have told? Elijah Mitchell, a sixth-rounder out of Louisiana who had to watch Trey Sermon getting drafted three rounds earlier than him, got the chance to play in San Fran's backfield on Sunday after reportingly edging Sermon through the pre-season, earning that […]

Juwan Johnson (TE, NO) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Juwan Johnson, even though you might have never heard his name before, just kicked off his second pro season after debuting last year and playing seven games (four of them starting). The truth is, you're forgiven for not knowing a lot about […]

Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think Jameis Winston will ever get old. This man just keeps finding ways to put up ridiculous performances no matter the team he plays for, the opponent, or anything you want to throw his way. The Saints set up a […]

2021-22 Fantasy Basketball Pre-Training Camp ADPs: Guards

A key part of doing a fantasy draft is avoiding players who find themselves in a bad situation. The wrong pick can completely tank your season. On the other hand, rostering players in perfect situations can be the ultimately league-winning move for savvy fantasy GMs. Today, let's talk about some potential busts and sleepers at […]

2021-22 Fantasy Basketball Pre-Training Camp ADPs: Forwards

A key part of doing a fantasy draft is avoiding players who find themselves in a bad situation. The wrong pick can completely tank your season. On the other hand, rostering players in perfect situations can be the ultimately league-winning move for savvy fantasy GMs. Today, let's talk about some potential busts and sleepers at […]

MMA DFS Value Picks - UFC Vegas 36: Brunson vs. Till (Premium Content)

While not the worst event ever held by the UFC, the truth is that we didn't get to enjoy superb fireworks last weekend. Sure, the one-kick KO of Alhassn was thrilling, and four fighters got to at least 100 DKFP last Saturday, but that's the lowest number since Jul. 24 when just three fighters did so, […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - UFC Vegas 36: Brunson vs. Till

While not the worst event ever held by the UFC, the truth is that we didn't get to enjoy superb fireworks last weekend. Sure, the one-kick KO of Alhassn was thrilling, and four fighters got to at least 100 DKFP last Saturday, but that's the lowest number since Jul. 24 when just three fighters did so, […]

Cam Newton (QB, NE) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~250 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~189 ANALYSIS: Cam Newton is being drafted as the QB32 right now. Two big reasons for that: first, Cam Newton is viewed as an injury risk and fantasy managers are baking that concern into their drafting right now, even though he played 15 of 16 games last year. […]

James White (RB, NE) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~163 ANALYSIS: The man, the myth, the legend. James White came to the world just to become the bright light leading those slotted in the running back position that wanted to broaden the horizons of the position. And so he did by becoming the ultimate pass-catching RB of […]

Marvin Jones (WR, JAX) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~112 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~123 ANALYSIS: It might be a little bit of a stretch to label Trevor Lawrence as a league-winning player this early in his career, much less as a rookie quarterback playing his first pro snaps. He can truly be the real deal, but it's not that he will finish as […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, HOU) - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~106 ANALYSIS: Cooks is the ultimate trailblazer. He played three years for the Saints, one for the Pats, two for the Rams, and last season, he donned Texans threads for the first time in his career. He barely misses time (three games in the past six seasons) […]

David Johnson (RB, HOU) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: Not only did the Texans lose their starting QB with Deshaun Watson--not confirmed, but most probably--missing the whole 2021 season and probably getting traded, but they doubled down on that misery by signing two RBs to build a three-headed-monster backfield. To David Johnson, they added Phillip Lindsay and Mark Ingram […]

Kenyan Drake (RB, LV) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~103 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas has a promising tailback in Josh Jacobs. In both his freshman and sophomore seasons, Jacobs was able to finish at least as the RB21 and that happened in his first year as a pro. Last time out, though, Jacobs excelled to greater levels and put […]

James Conner (RB, ARI) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~93 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~103 ANALYSIS: Conner leaves Pittsburgh after spending the past four seasons there and coming virtually out of nowhere to turn into a fantastic tailback for the Steelers in years past. While he has not been the healthiest of players out there (he has missed 14 games in his […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~144 ANALYSIS: Even with the addition of Emmanuel Sanders and with Gabriel Davis seemingly taking on a heavier role, PFF still projects Beasley to rack up the second-most PPR points in Buffalo, only behind Stefon Diggs with a 198+ FP projection. He hasn't had an ADP above 145 dating back to his debut all the […]

Eric Ebron (TE, PIT) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~194 ANALYSIS: A TE1 getting off draft boards at a TE3 price? I'll take two! That's Eric Ebron for you, folks, and that also is a nonsensical thing taking place in the summer of the 2021 year of our Lord. Simply put - Ebron's price is way down […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~155 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~184 ANALYSIS: Last year was Shepard's best in terms of efficiency with a 9.94 YPR mark to go with a career-high 73.3% Catch Rate while putting up a 90/66/656/3 receiving yard line to go with 49 yards and a single touchdown on the ground to put the […]

Mike Davis (RB, ATL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~45 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~54 ANALYSIS: I don't think I'm introducing you to anything new in Mike Davis by now, but here we are. Backing up Christian McCaffrey for a large part of the 2020 season, Davis was insanely productive, and that allowed him to finish the year as an RB1 when the season […]
