Taysom Hill (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another year, another Taysom Hill discussion about adding him off the waiver wire.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues ANALYSIS: White was the fourth running back to be selected during last April’s NFL draft when Tampa Bay selected him in Round 3.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Chargers' offense is as stacked with explosive runners and receivers as Buffalo Wild Wings is with chicken and sauces.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is hard to have predicted a better debut by Washington Commanders' new QB Carson Wentz: a top-3 performance at the position with 29.7 FP to the tune of four passing touchdowns.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Whether this game was a fluke or not, you'd be smart adding Khalil Herbert to your roster before other fantasy GMs catch up and you miss on the opportunity.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is still early (very early, probably) to come up with a definitive conclusion about who's who in the Ravens offense.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This feels like Carson Wentz was waiting all the summer only to finally did this on his very purpose just to make us all feel bad. Not me, as I've rated Wentz a bit above the consensus opinion for all of his... Read More
Zack Moss (RB, BUF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I have to assume when the Bills drafted James Cook with a second-round pick they definitely did not envision what happened to the rookie in his first game--actually first snap--as a pro: one snap played, one fumbled, and just one more snap... Read More
Robbie Anderson (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: He teased his retirement. He laughed at the idea of having Baker Mayfield as his quarterback.
