BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey ripped off a 72-yard run on the first play from scrimmage in a 28-16 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Joshua Palmer (WR, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before the start of the second TNF of the season between the Chargers and the Chiefs it made (some) sense to find Palmer rostered in fewer than 10% of all Yahoo leagues. Yes, Keenan Allen was expected to miss that game--he did... Read More
Joshua Palmer (WR, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Keenan Allen left the Week 1 game with an injury, and has officially been ruled out for Week 2. This will open up potential opportunities for Joshua Palmer and fantasy football managers: Chargers ruled out WR Keenan Allen for Thursday night’s game vs.... Read More
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. As a QB, Hill won't score enough points to justify rostering him. But since he is TE eligible on many platforms, he becomes an intriguing waiver wire pickup for... Read More
Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 61% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Running backs who are rostered in at least 60% of current leagues are normally excluded from these WW posts. However, there are occasional exceptions when it is beneficial to include a back with expanding availability. This applies to Mattison, whose percentage has... Read More
Kenneth Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Gainwell became the featured recommendation during last week’s waiver wire column, in anticipation of his expanded involvement in Philadelphia’s increasingly potent attack. His Week 1 workload was not mammoth, although he has secured a role within the Eagles’ backfield. Gainwell accumulated seven... Read More
Rachaad White (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
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. This placed him in a Buccaneer backfield that is utilizing Leonard Fournette as the primary back. However, White has quickly... Read More
Isiah Pacheco (RB, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Pacheco accumulated 563 rushing attempts (13.1 per game) and 2,442 yards (56.8 per game), during his career at Rutgers, while also collecting 47 receptions (1.1 per game) and generating 249 yards (5.8 per game) as a receiver. He later became the 24th... Read More
Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Higbee took advantage of No. 3 WR Van Jefferson being out of the lineup and was targeted 11 times in the Super Bowl champion Rams’ Thursday night loss. Yes, he was only able to manage 39 receiving yards on that treasure trove... Read More
Gerald Everett (TE, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
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. Fantasy managers knew that Everett, who set career-highs across the board (albeit modest ones) last year with the Seattle Seahawks, would be... Read More
DJ Chark Jr. (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is an intriguing waiver wire add heading into Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season. While Amon-Ra St. Brown led the Lions in targets in Week 1, Chark was second on the team in that stat,... Read More
Jeff Wilson Jr. (RB, SF) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell suffered a knee injury on Sunday and is expected to miss two months. With how much the 49ers run, this presents a pretty big opening for snaps for someone. Who will that someone be? Probably Jeff... Read More
Curtis Samuel (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
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. Not bad. Not bad, either? Curtis Samuel's outstanding game... Read More
Jaylen Warren (RB, PIT) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Heading into the 2022 season, the Steelers backfield belonged to Najee Harris. But after one week, things have changed. Harris suffered a foot injury against the Bengals on Sunday, leaving the game and not returning. It sounds like Harris could be back this... Read More
Jahan Dotson (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Washington Commanders appear to have a passing game this season. After ranking 21st in the NFL in passing yards last season, the Commanders opened Week 1 with 305 passing yards, the fourth-best mark in the league. Having Carson Wentz under center has... Read More
Donovan Peoples-Jones (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It was hard to get a read on the Browns passing game in Week 1. On one hand, the team threw for the second-fewest yards in the league in Week 1 with 138. On the other hand, the team was 16th in pass... Read More
Jarvis Landry (WR, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Are we still here with Jarvis Landry? Really, in the year 2022 of our Lord? Jesus Christ. Landry, of course, is seemingly never going to be properly rated judging by that being the case for the past 10 or 15 or... Read More
Jamaal Williams (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Two players from the Detroit Lions finished Week 1 inside the top-12 at their respective position: WR Amon-Ra St-Brown and RB D'Andre Swift (top-3 pending MNF). So, what makes Jamaal Williams so appealing as to have him featured in the WW weekly... Read More
Khalil Herbert (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
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. The consensus opinion is and has always been that of David Montgomery being... Read More
Devin Duvernay (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
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. Devin Duvernay, if only for the lack of other viable options, seems to have found a role as the WR2 of... Read More
Zay Jones (WR, JAC) - Fantasy Football Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones is an intriguing waiver wire target in deep leagues heading into Week 2. Christian Kirk was the team's leading receiver just as everyone expected, but it was Zay Jones who emerged as the team's No. 2... Read More
Carson Wentz (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
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. He did all of that, then probably some more, scared the hell out of all fantasy GMs, and when Week 1 arrived all Robbie Anderson... Read More
Marcus Mariota (QB, ATL) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Saints rallied, Atlanta lost, and Marcus Mariota played mediocre-to-good football. Nothing to be too surprised about, but something to exploit this weekend ahead of the Week 2 slate of games if you decided you'd stream your starter at the quarterback position.... Read More
Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't have an explanation for Jameis Winston's "low" rostership. Yes, he's nearing a fifty-fifty proposition, but that's still low to my eyes. Winston, as wild as he's been career-wise and as much criticism as he's endured, has always performed for his... Read More
Cleveland Browns D/ST - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~225 ANALYSIS: The Browns were one of my favorite defenses coming into last season, but they didn't quite pan out. They had an up-and-down season as a fantasy unit, but their actual defensive performance wasn't that bad. As I mentioned in my draft article, when I mentioned... Read More
Baltimore Ravens D/ST - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~185 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~200 ANALYSIS: The Ravens are ranked around 13th or 14th on the season, depending on the fantasy rankings system you use, but I believe they can get back to their elite ways in 2022, or at least close to it. The Ravens ranked 21st in my BOD rankings... Read More
Evan Engram (TE, JAX) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~181 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~211 ANALYSIS: After five seasons with the New York Giants, Engram now finds himself in Jacksonville after signing a one-year, fully guaranteed $9 million contract with the Jaguars. The last two seasons in New York have been a blur for all involved, and that includes Engram. He scored... Read More
Mo Alie-Cox (TE, IND) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~215 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~269 ANALYSIS: The 2022 offseason has been good for Mo Alie-Cox's (MAC) fantasy value. Jack Doyle retired after nine seasons with the Colts and MAC was handed a generous three-year, $18 million contract extension with $8.2 million guaranteed. Indianapolis did spend a third-round pick on Jelani Woods... Read More
Sammy Watkins (WR, GB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~210 ANALYSIS: Allen Lazard is the first Packer receiver off the board in fantasy drafts, but his seventh-round ADP is way too pricey for me. I expect Sammy Watkins to start on the outside and flourish with a change of scenery. How's this for a narrative? Aaron Rodgers... Read More
Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~58 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~63 ANALYSIS: The Davis hype train has been steadily gaining steam all offseason and is one that I've been aboard for over a year now. He tends to be a very polarizing player to discuss because his success has been limited to this point and he of... Read More
Jahan Dotson (WR, WAS) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~123 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~153 ANALYSIS: It's been proven that rookie receivers can be outstanding bets to finish the season strong and smash their ADP during the second half of the year. Look no further than Amon-Ra St. Brown last year and Justin Jefferson in 2020. Identifying potential rookie WR second-half... Read More
Austin Hooper (TE, TEN) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~225 ANALYSIS: Austin Hooper spent the last two seasons in Cleveland after beginning his career with the Atlanta Falcons. In those two seasons with the Browns, Hooper found himself splitting reps with both David Njoku and Harrison Bryant. He went from averaging 6.4 targets per game in... Read More
Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~155 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~176 ANALYSIS: Everything lined up for Higbee to be a top-10 fantasy tight end in 2021. He had Matthew Stafford replacing Jared Goff as his quarterback, and longtime tight end teammate Gerald Everett took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks, so Higbee no longer had to share... Read More
Albert Okwuegbunam (TE, DEN) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~155 ANALYSIS: Third-year tight end Albert Okwuegbunam is set to take over as the starting tight end in Denver after Noah Fant was dealt to Seattle in the Russell Wilson trade. But maybe not so fast, as the Broncos took UCLA TE Greg Dulcich with the 80th... Read More
J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~154 ANALYSIS: McKissic was so close to being a Buffalo Bill in 2022, but the Washington Commanders plucked him right from the hands of Bills general manager Brandon Beane. It's clear they value McKissic's contributions on the football field or they would have just let him walk... Read More
Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~124 ANALYSIS: In 2020, the Indianapolis Colts signed veteran QB Philip Rivers to run their offense. In that one season, Rivers targeted his running backs 25% of the time, with Nyheim Hines earning himself a 14.2% target share. This was the second-highest target share on the team,... Read More
Christian Watson (WR, GB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~179 ANALYSIS: There is not a clear event happening in the past few weeks that have forced fantasy GMs into fading Watson, and in fact, looking at the chart above you can see how the fall is less pronounced from the end of June until now than... Read More
Pat Freiermuth (TE, PIT) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~116 ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth put together an incredible rookie season that was largely overshadowed by what fellow rookie tight end Kyle Pitts did. He finished with seven receiving touchdowns, tied for the fifth-most ever by a rookie tight end, and 497 receiving yards, the 10th most by a... Read More
Alec Pierce (WR, IND) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~179 ANALYSIS: One player getting lost in much of the early rookie draft hype is Indianapolis Colts wide receiver, Alec Pierce. The 53rd overall selection in the 2022 NFL Draft has been impressing coaches in camp. Head Coach Frank Reich was recently quoted as saying, "We're definitely pushing... Read More
Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~95 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~105 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard enters 2022 atop the depth chart following the departures of Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the Kansas City Chiefs. Adams and Valdes-Scantling combined for 224 targets last season and quarterback Aaron Rodgers... Read More
JuJu Smith-Schuster (WR, KC) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~50 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~75 ANALYSIS: Everyone is so focused on JuJu Smith-Schuster's last three seasons, but let's add a little context to these numbers. In 2019, JuJu missed four games and finished with a disappointing stat line of just 40 receptions, 552 yards, and three touchdowns. However, to be fair,... Read More
DeVante Parker (WR, NE) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~126 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~149 ANALYSIS: Parker’s fantasy value is at the low point after back-to-back mediocre, injury-riddled campaigns, but I think Parker should flourish and be a fantasy sleeper with New England in 2022: New England’s roster is stocked with solid-but-not-spectacular receivers. Agholor had one superb season with the Raiders... Read More
