Kenny Stills (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the return of Will Fuller V, Kenny Stills served as Houston's No.3 receiver on Sunday. How'd he do? Far from bad, as he had his best game of the year by far. Stills did it all and finished the game against Tennessee with... Read More
All-Day For the Win: Why Adrian Peterson Matters Again
I don't think anyone could ever be happy at any sports player getting injured. It just makes no sense, so please leave the hatred out now and forever when it comes to that. That being said, though, we're talking about just a branch of sports here with fantasy football, and we all know what is... Read More
WR/TE Leaderboards After The First Playoff Round - NFL Next Gen Stats
Things finally got serious. If you're here, it's only because 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 smallest...

Mike Boone (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After losing star running back Dalvin Cook with a shoulder injury and Alexander Mattison missing Week 15 with an ankle injury, the undrafted second-year running back in Minnesota finally got his opportunity.

Drew Lock (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Second start for Drew Lock, second multi-touchdown game. Has Denver finally found its solution at quarterback?

Breshad Perriman (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is no way you are in the semifinals of your fantasy league and you don’t want to have Breshad Perriman in your team. Oh, and at the end of this week’s games, he’s owned in… almost no leagues! Some things I’ll never... Read More
Ian Thomas (TE, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Greg Olsen was on the receiving end of one of the nastiest hits of the season in Week 13 and that made him enter concussion protocol. He couldn’t recover in time for this past Sunday’s match and that put Ian Thomas in the... Read More
Devlin Hodges (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sunday’s game against Arizona marked Devlin Hodges third start in a row since Week 11, and so far so good for the rookie quarterback. So good, in fact, that Hodges has become the only undrafted quarterback to win his first three starts. There’s that.... Read More
Ryan Fitzpatrick, (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Fitzpatrick was really close to help Miami win its fourth game of the season. So close, in fact, that the Dolphins just missed it for one single point against the Jets this past Sunday. As incredible as it sounds, Fitzpatrick finished the... Read More
Willie Snead IV (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Ravens edged Buffalo on Sunday and Willie Snead (along with three other players) led Baltimore with three receptions for just 13 yards but a touchdown in the effort, making him the best receiver (other than a tight end) available for Lamar Jackson... Read More
Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Second start for Andy Dalton after getting the reins of the Bengals back, and second game scoring around 15 points (he finished 14.2 this past Sunday while he had 15.8 in Week 13). Dalton has always been a gunslinger and he’s never been afraid... Read More
Mitchell Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: That's it. I've seen enough. I need to watch no more. It's officially Mitchell Trubisky Season now. If you don't believe me, go check his last game against Dallas this past Thursday and then pick your mouth up off the floor. Trubisky had... Read More
Diontae Johnson, (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it was all about James Washington in Week 13, it was Diontae Johnson’s time this past Sunday. The rookie receiver connected with Devlin Hodges from the very first second of the game against Arizona and finished the day with 60 yards and... Read More
Hayden Hurst (TE, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It was always going to be hard for Hayden Hurst to shine in an offense that already featured a no. 1 tight end with upside in Mark Andrews, and that has actually been the case all season long. This past weekend, though, Hurst... Read More
Quarterback Leaderboards Before the Fantasy Playoffs - NFL Next Gen Stats
You won't believe it, but you weren't dreaming. That turkey you stuffed your face with a few days ago? Real. Those three games on a Thursday? Real, indeed. Your weekly meeting with football on the telly this past Sunday? Also real. All of that together only meant one thing: the fantasy football regular season is... Read More
Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dalvin Cook came out alive of Minnesota's MNF game. Barely, though, as he had to leave the field in the third quarter with a chest injury, supposedly for precautionary reasons. Keep in mind that Dalvin Cook has yet to complete a full season... Read More
Breshad Perriman (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As if we hadn’t had enough headaches with Tampa Bay’s offense and its multiple receiving options, Breshad Perriman went full-force in Week 13 and finished the day five receptions on six targets for 87 yards to help the Bucs win their game against... Read More
Anthony Miller (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You might not believe me, but in the last three weeks Anthony Miller has out-targeted no. 1 Bears receiver Allen Robinson 33 to 28. Fantasy football is all about opportunities, and that is why this little fact is reason enough to trust... Read More
A.J. Brown (WR, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even in a “bad” game considering what he had been up to lately, A.J. Brown still led all Titans wide receivers in receptions (three) and yards (45) this past Sunday in another win for Tennessee over the Colts. Ryan Tannehill has flipped this... Read More
Josh Reynolds (WR, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandin Cooks has been back from his concussion two weeks now, but he’s logged just six targets and caught four passes in the span for 56 yards. Those are not horrible numbers, but they are fram from Cook’s average production so one has... Read More
Hunter Renfrow (WR, OAK) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Consider this a stash and just an option in super deep leagues in which you have either the room to risk rostering a non-playing WR or are so needy of players that you must go all-in with risky gambles. That being said, Hunter... Read More
Taylor Gabriel (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have to start this little column by speaking of Mitchell Trubisky. I’m not a believer, but the quarterback has been putting on some work lately. He has his best game of the season in Thanksgiving to the tune of 338 yards... Read More
Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I said it last week and I keep saying it now: Russell Gage can be a league-winner hidden in plain sight. Just in case you don’t know, Julio Jones was also out of Atlanta’s last game and given the status of the franchise... Read More
Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It took quite some time, but it looks like Mike Gesicki has finally arrived. The second-year tight end has been targeted at least six times in his five last games and although he had a couple of duds in weeks 10 and 11... Read More
Dawson Knox (TE, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Although Dawson Knox fell a little short of a great performance in Thanksgiving, he was able to improve on his Week 12 outing and finish the day with six more yards on one more catch and four targets (his highest mark since Week... Read More
J.D. McKissic (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It looks like the Lions will ride with Bo Scarbrough as their leading rusher for the rest of the year after signing him a few weeks ago, but it is also true that J.D. McKissic profiles as the pass-catching tailback go-to guy... Read More
Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it was reasonable to get excited about Jonathan Williams’ potential impact on the Colts offense once Marlon Mack went down injured (Williams had back-to-back 100-plus yards games of 15.7 and 21.1 fantasy points), I also suspected that couldn’t be for real... Read More
Mitchell Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Had you asked me about adding Mitchell Trubisky, let alone play him, a month ago I would have probably deemed you crazy. Good for fantasy owners, though, the second-year quarterback has been able to make amends and has performed to good levels lately.... Read More
Putting Matt Ryan on Ice
Not long ago Matt Ryan was posting top-tier numbers. By "not long ago" I mean no further than six weeks ago, which is to say, half of the games already played this season. Back then we were discussing Ryan as a great fantasy quarterback, one of the best in fantasy football in fact. Then, bad... Read More
