A.J. Brown (WR, TEN) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's be honest: moving from Marcus Mariota to Ryan Tannehill doesn’t sound exciting at all. But somehow, it worked for Tennessee in Week 7 as the Titans were able to edge the Chargers by three points at the end of the day.... Read More
Preston Williams (WR, MIA) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In perhaps the best game of the season for most Miami’s players so far, Preston Williams showed again his value even when playing in the worst possible situation. Yes, the Dolphins are tanking and we all now that, but the signs are... Read More

Bennie Fowler (WR, NYG) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: The turns this league could take… Just after being released by the Giants in Week 4, Bennie Fowler was re-signed by the team after Sterling Shepard went on the concussion protocol to add depth to the wide receiver position. And only six... Read More
Foster Moreau (TE, OAK) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Why should anyone add a no. 2 tight end in his team to any fantasy roster, right? Even more, why should anyone do it knowing that the first option at the position in Oakland is no other than Darren Waller (perhaps the... Read More
Taylor Gabriel (WR, CHI) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While it is hard to trust Taylor Gabriel as a fantasy asset, the truth is that Chicago doesn't have a lot of weapons on offense as to not betting on him. The Bears receiving corps, other than for Allen Robinson, are made out... Read More
Darren Fells (TE, HOU) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Darren Fells made it to this week's waiver wire pickups list of candidates just by a hair. That is normal, considering Fells's production has been widely consistent all season long and the scarcity of the tight end position. There are just not... Read More
Danny Amendola (WR, DET) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's about time Danny Amendola shows who Danny Amendola is.

Adam Humphries (WR, TEN) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: To find someone with Adam Humphries track record available in almost every league is a little baffling. Yes, he has underperformed this season, but the faith of owners in him seems to be completely buried underground at this point. And yes,... Read More
Kyle Allen (QB, CAR) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: I have to confess that I love bye weeks. Actually, what I like the most is not the fact of teams not playing for a weekend, but rather the moment when they are ready to come back. A lot of players are dropped... Read More
Benny Snell Jr. (RB, PIT) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You won’t believe this, but after two weeks Benny Snell Jr. remains available in almost every Yahoo league.

Darius Slayton (WR, NYG) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Giants spent a fifth-round pick on Darius Slayton this past offseason, but even with some players missing in the offense he wasn’t able to debut in the NFL until Week 3 as he got injured in July. Don’t get too high on... Read More
A Necessary Guide to Streaming Tight Ends in 2019
Okay, follow my instructions, keep calm, and everything is going to be alright. Don't panic yet! We've burned almost half of the football fantasy season, if we assume playoffs start in Week 14. So far, it's been a wild one, and as expected, the tight end position has been as unpredictable as ever. We all... Read More
Running Back Metrics That Matter - NFL NextGen Stats
It's been a month--a full month!--since the last time we took a look at our beloved running backs. I don't think there is a hotter topic of discussion between pro- and anti-analytics than rushing. The guys fighting for stat-supremacy are all about using the passing game as much as possible while ditching the run; the... Read More
Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is tough to make a case for Albert Wilson, but here I am. It is tough first because I was a true believer of Wilson’s potential entering the year--yes, I had him as one of my go-to sleepers in almost every draft--and... Read More
DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I learned something this past Sunday, and it is that bad teams are bad no matter who they face. It was the case in the Washington versus Miami game from Week 6, which some reasoned would be a slugfest just because both... Read More
Benny Snell Jr. (RB, PIT) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is no better time to jump on Benny Snell Jr. than this week. Let’s recap: Pittsburgh is missing its starting quarterback and the backup to the starting quarterback. JuJu Smith-Schuster looks nothing like the JuJu Smith-Schuster we know. And most of... Read More
Ted Ginn Jr. (WR, NO) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Time flies. It’s been more than 10 years since Ted Ginn Jr. was drafted in 2007 by the Dolphins and he keeps grinding. Now in his third season with the Saints, it is normal that he has fallen in the dark a bit... Read More
David Moore (WR, SEA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Seahawks are a run-heavy team (they’re rushing on 48.4% of their plays, fourth-most in the league) but they’re also a highly efficient squad on the passing game. So far this season they rank second in yards per attempt (9.0), completion rate (72.5%)... Read More
Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Higbee is the most-established tight end in Los Angeles. This is his fourth season with the team and he has played every game to date with the Rams. Although his usage has never been mindblowing (he had a career-high 45 targets back... Read More
Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After injuring his hamstring, Kenny Stills has already missed two games and Keke Coutee has been the main beneficiary of it, slotting as the no. 3 wide receiver of the Texans attack. Back in Week 5 (the first game Stills missed), Coutee was targeted... Read More
Dante Pettis (WR, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dante Pettis wasn’t bad in 2018, but he wasn’t so good as to merit all the hype and praise he got this past preseason. Everybody was high on Pettis becoming the leading receiver of the 49ers (other than George Kittle), but then the... Read More
Joe Flacco (QB, DEN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody cares about Joe Flacco because Joe Flacco is one of the blandest players in the league, but in fantasy football, some storylines and playing trends don’t have a lot of importance. Actually, after moving from Baltimore to Denver, Joe Flacco has been his... Read More
Last Chance to Sell High on These Players
With five weeks already in the books and the sixth underway, we're entering the point of no return... in the trade market of your fantasy league, that is. Yes, there are almost two-thirds of the schedule yet to be played out. But most players have already made an impression and showed what they're up to... Read More
Preston Williams (WR, MIA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Preston Williams is exactly the type of player I love the make a living off during the season. No one wants to have a single share of the Dolphins offense, which is reasonable. Devante Parker, who isn't that bad, is the most-owned player... Read More
Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Sam Darnold is finally back--or so he should be. Everything pointed to a Week 5 return, but Darnold himself and the Jets staff both deemed it too risky to push the sophomore to make an appearance this early. But Week 6 will see... Read More
Auden Tate (WR, CIN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bengals are 0-5, Andy Dalton is a complete boom-or-bust quarterback yet here we are, trying to get Auden Tate (who most people probably didn't even know until three weeks ago) to save our fantasy teams and help us recover from our...

Who's Receiving, Who's Giving? - NFL NextGen Stats
We've talked about quarterback changes plenty this season, because the start of the year has been full of injuries and replacements taking the reigns as signal-caller. However, with five weeks of play in the books and things starting to settle a bit, we can flip the page and get back to studying some of the... Read More
Keke Coutee (WR, HOU) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When Kenny Stills fell injured in Week 4, Keke Coutee had an opportunity to step up. Coutee could only catch one of three targets for 11 yards but he also added 10 more on the ground in a losing effort. After that,... Read More
Gerald Everett (TE, LAR) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The tight end position has been a hot mess so far this year. Judging only by the first quarter of the season, there were five tight ends to score at least 50 fantasy points in that span in 2018, while we have... Read More
