BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We're entering the once-last week of the season this upcoming slate, but the championship fantasy week in most leagues these days.

Ronald Jones II (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, it looks like Ronald Jones II is going to get his chance... again. Leonard Fournette has had an incredible season, but unfortunately is dealing with an injury that will likely keep him out for several weeks. After leaving last week's game with... Read More
Craig Reynolds (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The NFL is an unpredictable sport, and fantasy football is an unpredictable game. Exhibit A is Craig Reynolds, who has pretty much come out of nowhere to become a relevant running back for the Lions and fantasy managers. For the 2nd week... Read More
Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week Austin Ekeler was dealing with an injury, so Justin Jackson received more touches than usual in the Thursday Night game against the Chiefs, racking up 13 carries for 86 yards.

Duke Johnson (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before this week-long slate of games, we had only saw Duke Johnson once playing for Miami--or anyone, actually. He did so back on Week 11 when he logged a ridiculously laughable six snaps for 1.8 PPR points against the Jets... and that's it... Read More
Jared Goff (QB, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know you want to hate me for telling you about Jared Goff.

Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While the Dolphins definitely don't have the best receiving corps of the NFL, the truth is that Tua Tagovailo is making the most of what he can work with on a weekly basis. Even then, though, the second-year quarterback is rostered in... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: At this point through the season, with just two fantasy weeks to cross the finish line, you know how it goes with Marquez Valdes-Scantling and his upside.

Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It wasn't until recently that Gabriel Davis was recently used--and it took WR Emmanuel Sanders getting injured--but we're now looking at someone with bona fide WR3/Flex appeal weekly for the remainder of the season playing for a strong team and powerful offense.... Read More
Mac Jones (QB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The weather was so ridiculous in Buffalo two weeks ago (W13) that all Mac Jones did was attempt three passes (!), complete two of them (!!) for 19 yards (!!!), and finish with a total of minus-0.5 FP as he fumbled the rock... Read More
Jared Cook (TE, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The presence of Donald Parham Jr. in Los Angeles' roster has impacted Jared Cook's production all season long. That, also, affected the fantasy GMs' views of Cook's upside and his rostership, which is still bordering the 50% at the end of the... Read More
Davis Mills (QB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/SuperFlex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Shout out Davis Mills because he is definitively the second-best quarterback of the 2021 draft class only behind the Patriots' Mac Jones. Cold world, folks, but it is what it is. Mills got his starting gig because of a large cumulus of circumstances, but... Read More
Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Three weeks in a row, folks. Three weeks of WR2 play (at the very least) coming from a guy that is not even rostered in a third of Yahoo leagues with three weeks (most probably just two in your fantasy league) of play... Read More
Brandon Bolden (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're still alive in whatever fantasy league you play at, and if you're still fighting for the championship, and most of all if you're looking into adding someone from the waiver wire, you better know it's slim picks these days around these...

Jalen Guyton (WR, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm not going to convince you of what Jalen Guyton is not: a bona fide oft-used WR. But let me at least build a case for Guyton's addition ROS, even more in deeper leagues out there with needy GMs trying to make... Read More
Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After missing Week 13 injured, Allen Lazard came back this past Sunday to take the field for the Packers against division-rival Chicago... and he couldn't have had a better return.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'm glad I rooted for Amon-Ra St. Brown from day one. I feel vindicated. QB Jared Goff has been as bad as ever, yes, but somehow Amon-Ra has stayed above water more often than not. ASB is putting up numbers weekly... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Seahawks added living legend Adrian Peterson to the fold in time for Week 13, but the veteran could only feature on a low 16 snaps and then proceeded to miss Week 14 entirely while recovering from injury. Penny, who played 29... Read More
Justin Fields (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After missing two consecutive games in the W11-W13 span, Fields came back to man the Bears pocket this past Sunday at Green Bay, and hey, he did more than enough to get back to most fantasy GMs (in deeper formats, that is)... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Emmanuel Sanders was forced out of Sunday's affair with Tampa Bay just 25 snaps into the game, and Gabriel Davis was the next man-up boy in the Bills offense.

Robby Anderson (WR, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Odds are you either love or hate Robby Anderson with no middle ground to those feelings. Makes sense, all things considered, given his swings in usage, level of play, and fantasy upside while being part of a nonsensical team in Carolina. But... Read More
Rashod Bateman (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before we get started, let me tell you what happened last Sunday in a few words around the Ravens squad: Lamar Jackson got banged up and forced out of the W14 game. That, obviously, is supposed to impact Baltimore's wideouts if only... Read More
Davis Mills (QB, HOU) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB/Superflex Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Don't even bother looking at past performance in comparison to defensive rank against fantasy QBs when it comes to assessing Davis Mills' value. He's just been all over the place, this guy. That said, though, he has been named the Texans starter ROS... Read More
James Washington (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I'd be lying if I said that James Washington has been a top-tier performer in the 2021 NFL season. Far from it, actually. But hey, that's why this man is barely rostered (if at all) in most fantasy leagues! But Washington is... Read More
K.J. Osborn (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: K.J. Osborn's rostership before W14: 3%; after W14: 38%. The impact of injuries, folks, as Adam Thielen got banged up and missed last TNF entirely, opening the door to Justin Jefferson and prior-afterthought Osborn to excel. The truth is, Osborn already thrived... Read More
Ben Roethlisberger (QB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is hard to get enamored of Ben Roethlisberger these days, even more, if you only pay attention to hot-take Twitter. But Big Ben has been more than a capable quarterback for the 2021 fantasy season, and in fact, he's coming off... Read More
Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Seahawks backfield and running game has been struggling ever since Chris Carson went down this year. Alex Collins hasn't been able to show much with his opportunities to be the lead running back, and the Seahawks even went out and signed... Read More
Ameer Abdullah (RB, CAR) - Fantasy Football Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's been another heartbreaking year for Panthers fans, and of course those who drafted Christian McCaffrey for their fantasy teams.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jets are dealing with a variety of injuries on offense, especially at the running back position.
