Geoff Swaim (TE, DAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim leading the Cowboys in receiving with 55 yards says far more about the state of the WR corps than anything else. There is not much upside in this offense at all, outside of Ezekiel Elliott, but Swaim has claimed the […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

It took five weeks but the vultures are finally starting to come out. We saw it in Detroit, where talented rookie Kerryon Johnson turned 12 carries into 70 yards while LeGarrette Blount turned 12 carries into 22 yards yet cashed in twice on short touchdown scores. Despite the return of Devonta Freeman in Atlanta, it […]

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As predicted, it was Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah, not Tyler Kroft who was the primary pass-catching tight end with Tyler Eifert gone for the year. Of course, that only resulted in two catches for 43 yards but it wasn't a high-volume day for the Bengals pass […]

Hayden Hurst (TE, BAL) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst made his NFL debut against Cleveland, catching one pass for seven yards. The other tight ends, Mark Andrews and Nick Boyle, were utilized as well. This will be one of those rare TEBC (tight end by committee) situations where it might […]

Rishard Matthews (WR, FA) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Free agent wide receiver Rishard Matthews is still without a team but has worked out with Cleveland and Arizona, according to reports. He could soon find himself a new home and bring some value to deep PPR leagues. The Browns seem like an ideal […]

LeGarrette Blount (RB, DET) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As mentioned a couple weeks ago, Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount will continue to hold value in standard leagues because of his remarkable talent of convincing coaches to give him the ball repeatedly in the red zone. He was less than efficient […]

Brandon Wilds (RB, JAC) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Corey Grant's season-ending Lisfranc injury and Leonard Fournette's continued absence could make Brandon Wilds the RB2 in Jacksonville. This means he will get a few carries here and there but he's also a TJ Yeldon injury away from the being starter on a playoff team. Scary […]

Kyle Juszczyk (RB, SF) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When does a running back with one rush attempt on the season hold fantasy value? When he's a 240 lb fullback with 16 catches and more receiving yards than David Johnson. San Francisco 49ers running back Kyle Juszczyk racked up 75 yards on […]

Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Possibly the most schizophrenic team on both sides of the ball this season, the Broncos were obliterated by... the Jets? Yes, my stat sheet tells me the Jets blew out the Broncos in Week 5, which led to great garbage time numbers for quarterback […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 5 Fantasy Football Picks

So close yet so far. I was ready to do a full victory lap on last week's calls in this column after Aaron Jones and Sterling Shepard had big games while Kenyan Drake and Keelan Cole proved to be duds. Then I looked at my QB picks. In retrospect, relying on Case Keenum to be […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

Life is easy if you have Todd Gurley or Alvin Kamara. Sadly, statistics say that only 8.3% of all fantasy owners in a typical 12-team league will own one of these players. That number drops further the more teams in your league. Lucky for you, we're here to help. The running back scene can be […]

Geoff Swaim (TE, DAL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  None of the TE for the Dallas Cowboys will replace Jason Witten but Geoff Swaim has been the closest. Not only did he score his first TD in Week 4, he tied for the team lead in targets. When digging among the depths […]

Nick Vannett (TE, SEA) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Bad news for Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly could turn into good fortune for Nick Vannett. Dissly appears to have a torn patella tendon, which will rule him out for the rest of the season. We've seen proof that the tight end can be […]

Hayden Hurst (TE, BAL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst still hasn't taken an NFL regular season snap but Week 5 could be the time. Hurst was selected for his pass-catching ability and the team will find ways to use him, as they do all their tight […]

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, ARI) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS:  Arizona Cardinals tight end Ricky Seals-Jones has a safe enough floor at a messy TE position. The converted wideout came away with two catches for 52 yards against Seattle. He is capable of making big plays but won't see enough action to be more […]

Zach Pascal (WR, IND) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Everyone, this is Zach. Zach say hi to everyone! In case you weren't aware, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal is an undrafted free agent out of Old Dominion that earned a roster spot after Deon Cain's season-ending injury. Pascal had just two receptions […]

Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We should be looking more closely at usage for Cleveland's receivers now that a QB change has been made. While Jarvis Landry is obviously the big dog and Antonio Callaway was targeted next most with nine looks, Rashard Higgins was the leading receiver in Week 4 […]

Taywan Taylor (WR, TEN) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Now that Rishard Matthews is gone, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Taywan Taylor inherits the WR2 job on a team without its top tight end. He responded with seven catches for 77 yards in a tough matchup with the Eagles. His scoring upside is […]

Cameron Meredith (WR, NO) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been the most modest of starts for New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cameron Meredith, who was inactive for the first two games and caught just one pass in Week 3. His snap count went up again in Week 4 and his reception […]

Jameis Winston (QB, TB) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Those looking for a QB for Week 5 can move on. The Bucs are entering their bye week and it hasn't even been determined that Jameis Winston will be the starter following it. However, it is highly likely that he will be. Also, […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 4 Fantasy Football Picks

Sometimes all it takes is one. One player can turn things around for an entire team. We saw it with Baker Mayfield in the second half on Thursday night as he led them to their first win in forever. We've seen it with the loss of Khalil Mack in Oakland as they struggle to an […]

Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We know nothing. When I say "we," I am referring collectively to all of us who follow the NFL and play fantasy football on a regular basis of course. We were certain the Vikings-Bills game would be a blowout... but not in Buffalo's favor. The Patriots weren't going to let former assistant coach Matt Patricia […]
