Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 8 Fantasy Football Picks

If there's one thing I've learned in fantasy football over the years, you have to set your bias aside. The largest and most prominent of these (for me at least) is the homerism and hero/villain effect. We all want our hometown players to succeed and that goes for college alma maters too. It isn't always […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Running backs: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. It's getting to the point where you almost wish you could start all wide receivers so you don't have to worry about injuries, trades, and duds. This week alone, we saw Carlos Hyde on the bench while he waits to integrate into the Jags' system, […]

Barrel Leaders - Statcast 2018 Year-In-Review

The 2018 MLB season was full of memorable moments and rife with power. It's unexpected to see that there was a noticeable dip in power numbers, despite the 5,585 home runs hit by Major League players. In 2017, that figure was up at 6,105 HR. Homers make the highlight reels but don't tell the whole story […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks

I like to draw inspiration from classic hip-hop lyrics when doing pretty much anything and writing is no different. When it came to summing up this week's Hero picks, I dug a little deeper than usual down my rankings list. How deep? Deep as the abyss, deeper than Atlantis, deeper than a prostitu... never mind, […]

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In a shocking route of the Jaguars, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley put up the first 100-yard receiving game by a Cowboy and his first since 2015. It's sure to be an outlier in an otherwise unremarkable season. Beasley does present a […]

Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has seen his ownership  rising as of Sunday afternoon but he warrants mentioning as he may be available in your league. Jameis Winston showed faith in his second-year receiver, targeting a team-high nine times (tied with DeSean Jackson) in Atlanta. Godwin […]

Tyrell Williams (WR, LAC) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyrell Williams did what he does best, hauling in two deep balls for touchdowns on Sunday afternoon with 118 yards on three receptions. While Mike Williams is on everyone's radar and owned in two-thirds of fantasy leagues, Tyrell has now outgained him […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Last week it was the vulture, this week it's the no-names. The phrase "that doesn't help anybody" is well-known by fantasy owners and was uttered repeatedly in Week 7. We saw touchdowns from Marcus Johnson, David Moore, Jaron Brown, Paul Richardson, Ito Smith, Erik Swoope, Chris Herndon IV, and Nick O'Leary. That was just in […]

Blake Bortles (QB, JAC) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is slightly above the typical threshold for waiver wire suggestions, but his ownership will likely drop after this week's stinker. The Jags simply didn't show up in Dallas, so they are now in need of a bounce-back performance at home […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're a Giants fan, owner of New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, or simply follow football closely enough to know that Manning has looked horrible for most of the year, suggesting him as a waiver wire pickup seems like a questionable call. The […]

Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jets are suddenly an offensive powerhouse! They've put up 76 points in the last two games and New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has been making plays down the field. The Vikings come to town, making for a more risky proposition though. They […]

Chris Herndon (TE, NYJ) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Finally, an interesting TE emerges! New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon is one of the lesser-known rookies at the position but his 56-yard output in Week 6 is better than anything Mike Gesicki or Hayden Hurst has done this season. The Jets are suddenly potent on offense […]

David Moore (WR, SEA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With three touchdowns in the last two games, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver David Moore must be taken seriously as a flex option in standard leagues. Sadly, the Seahawks are on bye so he is nothing more than a player to watch for Week 8. […]

Martavis Bryant (WR, OAK) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Raiders are on bye this coming week and are coming of an ugly, blowout loss in which wide receiver Martavis Bryant saw just two catches for 18 yards. The reason to consider Bryant is based on the news that the Raiders are shopping Amari […]

Week 6 Matchups - Fantasy Football Game Breakdowns (Part 2)

We'll be covering every matchup from every Sunday game to help you make the best decisions for your fantasy lineups. We'll also be updating this as injury reports come in so check back often.

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

Just like there is no such thing as an announcer jinx, the same goes for writers or analysts. To call Jay Ajayi a fantasy bust and "Zero" last week, only to see him suffer another devastating injury by tearing his ACL, isn't my fault. It doesn't feel good to see it either, especially since I […]

Can We Trust Kawhi Leonard in Fantasy?

It's hard not to lay out an argument either for or against Kawhi Leonard in any scenario, real or fantasy, without mentioning trust. It's the foundation upon which teamwork and chemistry are built. It's essential in a game where five men work together on the court in order to achieve a common goal. It's crucial […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  If Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate is available in your league's waiver wire, don't wait to add him, even if you have a reliable tight end. O.J. Howard will miss 2-4 weeks with a sprained MCL so Brate will inherit all the tight end […]

Robby Anderson (WR, NYJ) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson finally repaid the faith of his owners. Anderson was quiet for four games, posting eight catches for 108 yards. He surpassed that total in Week 5, exploding for 123 yards and two touchdowns. These days may not […]

Chris Godwin (WR, TB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: His ownership is just a bit above the one-third mark, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is still widely available as the Bucs come off a bye week. With no running game to speak of, a gunslinger still at QB, and […]

Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Houston Texans running back Alfred Blue saw the start on Sunday night in place of an injured Lamar Miller and totaled 119 yards. His rushing average wasn't too encouraging though, at just over two yards a pop (20 carries, 46 yards). There isn't a ton […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Out of Green Bay's trio of rookie receivers, Marquez Valdes-Scantling was the one to see the most action in the absence of Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison. Not only did he score his first NFL touchdown in the third quarter of Week 5, he nearly had another […]
