Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another week, another game of backing up for Nyheim Hines in Indianapolis. This is not new, but worth mentioning in case you want to add Hines to your roster. Now that you know the role he plays, you can make a better decision... Read More
Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Back from their bye, the Falcons beat the Saints in Week 10 with Russell Gage again featuring prominently in Atlanta’s attack. Even in a middling game by Matt Ryan, Gage was able to see five targets and catch four of the passes... Read More
Brandon Allen (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Brandon Allen was the one to replace Joe Flacco and probably end his tenure in Denver prematurely after the veteran fell to injury. Allen is not young himself but is the only quarterback playable by the Broncos with Drew Lock in IR. Allen was... Read More
Ted Ginn Jr. (WR, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints had a horrible game against Atlanta this past weekend. They couldn’t score a single touchdown and finished with just three field goals and a big 26-9 defeat. Worst of all, Ginn didn’t even catch a single pass in a game in... Read More
Kareem Hunt's Comeback Is Here... Or Is It?
It's time! Kareem Hunt is finally back as an active member of the Cleveland Browns. The last time we saw Hunt on a football field it was all the way back in Week 11 of the 2018 season. Hunt's suspension for the first half of this season made him an intriguing stash candidate in most... Read More
Rushing Leaderboards At Midseason - NFL Next Gen Stats
I guess the talk will never change. "Running backs don't matter." Sure. The thing is, Christian McCaffrey is still up there at the top of the fantasy points per game leaderboard. And do you know the position CMC is slotted at? The next non-quarterback on that list is Dalvin Cook, who happens to be another... Read More
Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I was the first to expect a heavier workload for both Jack Doyle and/or Eric Ebron this week after T.Y. Hilton was ruled out with an injury, but that wasn’t the case. Doyle was targeted four times and Ebron did so on two... Read More
A.J. Brown (WR, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: What a relief. After a great game in Week 7 (eight targets, six receptions, 64 yards) with Ryan Tannehill as the starter quarterback, A.J. Brown went on and upset his owners all around the nation being targeted just three times in Week 8... Read More
Taylor Gabriel (WR, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bears are hard to trust in fantasy terms with Mitch Trubisky manning the QB position, but another week, another great--withing Chicago’s limits--performance by Taylor Gabriel. In a game in which Trubisky could only complete 10 passes for 125 yards, Gabriel completed a... Read More
Brandon Allen (QB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After seeing him go down with an injury, the Broncos opted to place Joe Flacco on injured reserve and thus to end his season. Enter Brandon Allen, the 27-year-old backup quarterback for Denver that took the reigns of the team for the first time... Read More
Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dede Westbrook and Marqise Lee were both confirmed out of the Week 9 international game for the Jaguars, and Keelan Cole stepped up to put on a massive performance covering for the two wideouts. His stock is as high as it gets, but... Read More
Ted Ginn Jr. (WR, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With New Orleans coming back from its bye week, not a lot has changed around Ted Ginn Jr. and his situation in the Saints attack. Drew Brees was already back for their Week 8 game against Arizona and although Ginn wasn’t a cookie-monster... Read More
Chris Herndon IV (TE, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The frustration is real, but you need to keep the faith and believe in Chris Herndon IV. Another week, another DNP for the sophomore, what can we do. This was the time when it really really looked like Herndon was going to see... Read More
Darius Slayton (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Welcome to the Darius Slayton Show, folks. Now if you can, give me a better line than that Slayton just put up against Detroit in his Week 9 matchup: two receptions, 50 yards, two touchdowns. Uh oh, that’s producing when production is needed,... Read More
Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I’m not discovering new grounds here by saying Nyheim Hines is the clear backup and second option to Marlon Mack’s RB1 role in Indy. That is clear as water, but at the same time Hines has a very defined role in the Colts... Read More
Dallas Goedert (TE, PHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If we were discussing a potential trade target here instead of a waiver wire pickup, Dallas Goedert would clearly qualify as a go-to buy-low candidate. From Week 6 to Week 8, Goedert had out-performed Zach Ertz each and every time they shared the... Read More
Bell's Hell - Can Le'Veon Turn Things Around?
As soon as it came, it went. The trade deadline arrived and passed without the New York Jets moving Le'Veon Bell out of town as it was speculated in the hours prior to the market closing. The relation between the player and the organization seems to have been sour for a while now. It didn't... Read More
Chris Herndon (TE, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It’s getting a little bit frustrating with Chris Herndon IV’s weekly injury news, but we need to stay patient. Everything pointed toward his debut earlier this month, but a hamstring injury kept him out for the last couple of weeks and although he... Read More
Dallas Goedert (TE, PHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You are not going to call Dallas Goedert Philadelphia’s leading tight end any time soon, but what if all we’re seeing is actually for real? For the second week in a row, Zach Ertz was outperformed by Goedert. With the Eagles running all over... Read More
Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If there is a week to pick Keelan Cole up, it is this one. Against the Jets on Sunday both Marqise Lee and Dede Westbrook had to leave the field injured. That leaves the Jaguars in a shaky situation at the receiver position... Read More
Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is official. After going cold against Tennessee in Week 5 (21 yards on three receptions for 5.1 fantasy points), the Week 6 bye did Cole Beasley wonders as the came back hungry and now has back-to-back games over 10 fantasy points against... Read More
Cutting Through The Wide Receiver Clutter - NFL Next Gen Stats
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 past 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.... Read More
Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Colts tight-end-by-committee approach isn’t pretty for fantasy owners with shares of either Jack Doyle or Eric Ebron, but the former is getting more and more of the cake from Ebron weekly. Just on pure usage, Doyle is playing 72 percent of the... Read More
Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Marlon Mack is the clear go-to guy at the running back position in Indianapolis, Hines keeps being one of the best rushers to handcuff available in most leagues. Mack has had his health issues already this season, so he could fall... Read More
Zach Pascal (WR, IND) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After a great string of outings leading up to Indianapolis’ bye week, Zach Pascal came out of that resting time booming and posted his best game of the year against Houston in Week 7 to the tune of 106 yards and a couple... Read More
Tajae Sharpe (WR, TEN) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tajae Sharpe has been around for four years now since being drafted all the way back in 2016 by the Titans. Truth be told, he’s never been a fantasy option and his season-averages are of 6.6, 4.5, and 4.5 points per game (he... Read More
Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It could have been a fluke, or it could have been the first effects of Mohammed Sanu’s trade to the Patriots. Russell Gage and all of his eight combined targets from Weeks 1 to 7 were bumped all the way up to nine... Read More
Ted Ginn (WR, NO) - Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you happen to play in a deeper league, Ginn should be one of those guys that can provide you with solid weekly points no matter what. Now, adding Brees back to the equation, his value should only get higher. After posting similar... Read More
Taylor Gabriel (WR, CHI) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Taylor Gabriel is indeed a risky fantasy play, there aren’t many players doing what he’s doing in Chicago’s offense. The Bears aren’t good by any means, at least when it comes to attacking, and Mitchell Trubisky has been disappointing every time he’s... Read More
Re-Evaluating Strength of Schedule for the Playoffs
We're just days away from crossing the halfway mark of the season. It sucks, I know, but we fantasy owners can't lose time crying and lamenting about what we can't fix. We have to look forward and always be one step ahead of our competition. And that, my friends, means we need to start thinking... Read More
