Zay Jones (WR, BUF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: How is Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones not owned in more leagues.... is something nobody has said for the past two years. But now it might be time to consider the Barkley-Jones connection (not to be confused with Montana-Rice) is real. Matt […]

John Ross (WR, CIN) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross scored his fourth touchdown of the year, somehow operating as a red zone target again rather than a field stretcher. We still haven't seen the explosive speed at work, as Ross is averaging 13 yards per reception […]

Adam Humphries (WR, TB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Whoever is at quarterback for the Bucs shouldn't change the fact that they will continue to fire away to multiple receivers. Wide receiver Adam Humphries has seen fewer targets the last couple of weeks but managed to find the end zone and […]

D'Onta Foreman (RB, HOU) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Here's another reminder that Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman return is imminent. He officially practiced last Wednesday, opening up the 21-day window for him to be activated. You can never have too many running backs, especially one from a powerhouse college program who […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, NE) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead hasn't played since Week 3 when he injured his neck and landed on the Injured Reserve list. He's back at practice and is questionable to return this week. The presence of Sony Michel and James White complicates things, however. Burkhead […]

Chris Herndon (TE, NYJ) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We would be remiss to ignore New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon, even if we don't know who his QB will be this week. Herndon had a three-game TD streak earlier this year and has averaged 42 yards per game over the […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The byes are almost done, except that the two teams missing from this week's slate account for half of the starting lineups of the most successful fantasy teams. If anything, this might be a chance for fringe contenders to gain a leg up on their league's powerhouse teams that are missing their Rams and Chiefs. […]

Marcell Ateman (WR, OAK) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Aside from being the only healthy receiver left in Oakland aside from Seth Roberts after Brandon LaFell apparently ruptured his Achilles, Marcell Ateman made his presence known in his first appearance of the year. The seventh-round pick came up with a huge play in the last two […]

Bruce Ellington (WR, DET) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The talk of T.J. Jones and Brandon Powell as possible replacements for Golden Tate were overstated. The team went out and added Bruce Ellington, formerly of the Texans, and he immediately stepped in to catch six passes for 52 yards. If Marvin Jones returns next week as expected, Ellington's target count […]

Dontrelle Inman (WR, IND) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Early in the year it was Ryan Grant who gained a little attention from fantasy owners as one of Andrew Luck's primary targets. He appears to have been replaced by Dontrelle Inman, who has drawn rave reviews from Luck himself since he first set foot in […]

Pierre Garcon (WR, SF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the explosion of youthful receivers bursting onto the scene, it's easy to forget about San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon. He's played just one game in the past month due to injuries and a bye, but should be good to go […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Why are we talking about Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate again after he caught just two balls for 16 yards? First, Jameis Winston is back and we know he loves him some Brate. Second, O.J. Howard suffered an ankle injury and […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks

Hopefully, all my loyal readers got the joke last week that the picks were actually reversed and did the complete opposite of what was suggested! Nelson Agholor has apparently not morphed into toast, at least not yet. Week 10 was just one of those weeks that was filled with blowouts and upsets, or in the case […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We're almost done with bye weeks, but Week 11 is another big one. Six teams will be on break which should again limit the number of waiver options available. It should but it won't, as this week will see several of the bottom dwellers in the league sitting out, namely the AFC East. This gives […]

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Just when it appeared that it was feasible to believe that Seattle's usage of running backs would have a consistent, understandable pattern, the distribution of 12 touches to Rashaad Penny in Week 10 eviscerated that possibility yet again. Chris Carson's most recent health issue (thigh) […]

Spencer Ware (RB, KC) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're into late-season handcuffing to hedge your bet and ensure you don't get screwed by a Week 14 injury to your RB1, Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware should be higher on the totem pole than some other RBs available on waivers […]

Jacquizz Rodgers (RB, TB) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Did the Bucs just now remember they have Jacquizz Rodgers on the roster? He still hasn't registered double-digit touches in a game all season but in Week 10's loss to the Redskins, Rodgers caught all eight of his pass targets for 102 yards […]

Josh Reynolds (WR, LAR) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With the confirmation that Cooper Kupp tore his ACL as feared, many owners will now pivot to Josh Reynolds as the WR3 on one of the best offenses in the NFL. He'll clearly see an uptick in snaps and targets, but that shouldn't automatically thrust […]

Zay Jones (WR, BUF) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Bills-Jets game showed what an abomination the Jets are at the moment and also makes us wonder even more how Nathan Peterman is still on the active roster. With journeyman Matt Barkley as the latest QB pulled off the street to start for Buffalo, he […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another QB you want to part of, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning still warrants consideration for those needing a temporary fix. He gets the Bucs at home, which should equal fantasy gold (forget what Alex Smith did this week - he doesn't count). […]

Nick Vannett (TE, SEA) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It appears the return of Ed Dickson was nothing more than a red herring. Since Dickson came off IR to post 54 yards and a TD in his first game back, it's been tight end Nick Vannett who has taken the reins as the primary pass-catching […]

Jeff Heuerman (TE, DEN) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Broncos were off in Week 10, so let's not forget that tight end Jeff Heuerman is fresh off a 10-catch, 83-yard game. With DT gone, there's a chance Heuerman keeps seeing more targets than expected. He could be a priority among those […]

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, ARI) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones saw a season-high nine targets in Week 10, catching five for 51 yards. He's hauled in just one TD on the season, which makes him hard to love in standard leagues. A home game against the Raiders […]

Frank Gore (RB, MIA) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back Frank Gore keeps on keepin' on. Aside from the career rushing records he continues to set, Gore has shown that he can chip in a few points for standard-league owners on a weekly basis. Despite being massive underdogs on the road, […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks

The playoffs are coming... but not yet. With all the talk of trade deadlines and ROS prep, we should keep one thing in mind - you have to get there first. I've seen teams sell high and buy low right out of contention because they forgot to actually win games in the process of preparing […]
