Elliott Baas 6 years agoRyan Tannehill Tosses Two Touchdowns In Return
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill played well in his return in Miami's 27-24 loss to Indianapolis in Week 12. He went 17-for-25 passing for 204 yards and two touchdowns. He was out-dueled by Andrew Luck, but that's to be expected. Tannehill should offer an upgrade to Miami receivers over Ryan Tannehill, but he didn't target […]
Elliott Baas 6 years agoDanny Amendola Will Play In Week 12
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola will play in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Amendola was questionable all week with a hamstring injury. He suffered the injury back in Week 10, and Miami's Week 11 bye certainly helped him recover more quickly. He had developed a nice rapport with Brock Osweiler and became a low-ceiling PPR […]
Elliott Baas 6 years agoDeVante Parker Active For Week 12
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (shoulder) will play in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Parker was questionable all week after exiting early in the Dolphins' last back in Week 10 with the injury. Miami's Week 11 bye was certainly fortuitous in aiding Parker's recovery. The return of Ryan Tannehill may give Parker a slight boost […]
Elliott Baas 6 years agoKenny Stills Looking To Reconnect With Ryan Tannehill Week 12
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills will get a chance to reconnect with quarterback Ryan Tannehill in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Stills averaged 8.42 standard points per game with Tannehill as quarterback, and averaged just 4.13 points per game with Brock Osweiler. Tannehill should help bring the boom back into Stills' boom-or-bust play style. He's […]
Elliott Baas 6 years agoKenyan Drake A Desperation Play In Week 12
Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake is a desperation play in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Drake has ceded work to Frank Gore over the past few weeks and can't be relied on for consistent production. Indianapolis has allowed the 17th most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, meaning the matchup can't make up […]
Elliott Baas 6 years agoFrank Gore A Flex Option In Week 12
Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore is a flex option in Week 12 against Indianapolis. Gore is coming off a 13-carry, 90-yard performance in Week 10 against Green Bay before his bye week. Gore has been on the strong side of a split with Kenyan Drake, and should get more touches this week. Indianapolis has […]
Elliott Baas 6 years agoRyan Tannehill A Two-QB Option Only In Week 12
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill will return to the gridiron in Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts. Tannehill hasn't played since Week 5 due to a shoulder injury. He was not a viable option in one-quarterback leagues before the injury, and is a low-end two-quarterback league play coming back. He was averaging under 13 points […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Marty Mornhinweg and the Ravens took an alternative approach to their gameplan this week, and quarterback Lamar Jackson had a stat line that looked more like that of a bell cow running back than a quarterback.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Oh Dirk Koetter, how about a little decisiveness? A little conviction.

Elliott Baas 6 years agoWeek 12 Quarterbacks - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
It was another week full of excitement, tragedy, and confusion at the quarterback position. We had some tough injuries, mid-game benchings, and several exciting deep league options at quarterback for Week 12. Only two teams are on bye this week, but they are big ones. No Patrick Mahomes or Jared Goff this week, as both […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in Tw0-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens is still pretty green, as we saw in Week 10 against the Giants, but just about anyone is worthy of consideration against Tampa Bay’s defense.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14 Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While he didn’t erupt against a bad defense, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning did everything required of him to pull out the win over Tampa Bay in Week 11.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em (and you probably hate ‘em), busts are a huge part of fantasy baseball. While it’s fun to gush over all the new breakout stars of 2018, we also need to reflect on the players that made us want to pull our hair out last season. Highly-drafted busts can be season […]

It was a good week for post-hype quarterbacks, as several former high draft picks or one-year sensations had nice games around the NFL. Dak Prescott leads the way, but there are multiple strong options for streaming on waivers this week. Six teams are on bye this week, but Tom Brady is the only widely-owned quarterback […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off the bye, the Broncos and quarterback Case Keenum will have to figure out how to get Courtland Sutton more involved and utilize the receivers they have now that Demaryius Thomas is in Houston.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen was a little disappointing in Week 10 against the Chiefs, but in a week where many two-quarterback league types are on bye Rosen could make for a solid desperation streamer.
