ALL RB - WR - TE - QB - DEF

Rex Burkhead (RB, NE) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: When Rex Burkhead left the Cincinnati Bengals and signed on with the New England Patriots, those familiar with the Nebraska alum could see for miles away that he would be a great fit in the Tom Brady-led offense. Four years and a... Read More RotoBrady 3 days ago

Scotty Miller (WR, TB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We have seen only a limited sample of Scotty Miller as an NFL wide receiver since the start of 2019 following his standout career at Bowling Green State, but with Tom Brady under center in Tampa Bay and a hodgepodge of question-mark-players... Read More RotoBrady 3 days ago

Logan Thomas (TE, WAS) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: At 6-6 and 250 pounds, Logan Thomas definitely has a build that will prove useful in practically anything he could be assigned to do on the football field. The 29-year-old product of Virginia Tech was a three-year starter at quarterback, and while he... Read More RotoBrady 4 days ago

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: First carry from a Colts' rusher this season: Marlon Mack. First touchdown from a Colts' rusher: Nyheim Hines. No Jonathan Taylor at sight to start Week 1's game with the proven Mack taking on the rushing duties and Hines doing so on the... Read More Antonio Losada 4 days ago

Benny Snell Jr. (RB, PIT) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed Ben Roethlisberger back until a virtual year off the field... but at the same time they had to say goodbye to RB James Conner just two quarters into the season. Bad for the rushing game, right? Wrong. Enter Benny Snell... Read More Antonio Losada 4 days ago

Joshua Kelley (RB, LAC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley had an extremely promising NFL debut this past week, carrying the ball 12 times for 60 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Malcolm Brown (RB, LAR) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: More than likely, there was just one running back from the Los Angeles Rams that was drafted in your fantasy football leagues, Cam Akers. In Week 1 against the Cowboys, we saw the Rams utilize Malcolm Brown the most, however. He is the veteran... Read More Aaron Schillinger 6 days ago

Parris Campbell (WR, IND) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you watched the Colts game in Week 1, you definitely noticed how involved Parris Campbell was on this offense. He saw nine targets and caught six of them for 71 yards. TY Hilton also saw nine targets, which was tied for the... Read More Aaron Schillinger 6 days ago

Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR, JAX) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. proved to be one of the top pass-catching options for quarterback Gardner Minshew II in Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts. Shenault was targeted four times in the game and caught three passes for... Read More Andrew Ericksen 6 days ago

Peyton Barber (RB, WAS) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Washington Football Team running back Peyton Barber served as the team's primary ball-carrier in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Barber received 17 of the team's 29 hand-offs and rushed for 29 yards and two touchdowns. Antonio Gibson was second on the team... Read More Andrew Ericksen 6 days ago

Chase Edmonds (RB, ARI) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds was a big offensive spark for the team in their Week 1 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Edmonds carried the ball six times for 26 yards and caught three passes for 19 yards and a touchdown... Read More Andrew Ericksen 6 days ago

Jerick McKinnon (RB, SF) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon had a promising, long-awaited debut for the team in Week 1. McKinnon carried the ball three times for 24 yards and reeled in three catches for 20 yards and a touchdown on five targets. McKinnon... Read More Andrew Ericksen 6 days ago

Russell Gage (WR, ATL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I knew Matt Ryan was capable of doing things. What I didn't know was that Ryan, and Atlanta Falcons' receivers, were capable of doing these things. All of Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Russell Gage finished Week 1 with 114+ yards each, helping Ryan's 450-yard (!)... Read More Antonio Losada 6 days ago

Gardner Minshew II (QB, JAX) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: All hail the 'stache! Garden Minshew II took the game just where he left him last season, put on the superhero suit again, and completed a masterpiece to the tune of completing 19 of 20 attempts for 173 yards, 3 TDs, and no... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Teddy Bridgewater (QB, CAR) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Teddy B finished Week 1 as the QB15 through Sunday's games and top-34 player overall in PPR leagues. More than that, and even although you might not believe what I'm about to say: Bridgewater completed 22 of 34 attempts for 270 yards, the ninth-highest... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Willie Snead IV (WR, BAL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We all know the top-three guys walking around Baltimore these days, one per skill position: TE Mark Andrews, WR Marquise Brown, and RB Mark Ingram. Well, while Andrews was the best Raven in Week 1, it turns out that both Ingram and... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It is hard to trust Kirk Cousins as a weekly QB1 if only because Minnesota should be a run-first team. Last season, the Vikings set some low-volume records on the passing front through the first weeks of the year, and that shouldn't change all... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Adrian Peterson (RB, DET) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The talk regarding Detroit's backfield during the offseason was focused on its two prime assets: Kerryon Johnson and rookie D'Andre Swift.

Jimmy Graham (TE, CHI) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last season, playing for Green Bay, Jimmy Graham's fantasy outcomes were all over the table. He had days of multiple targets and putrid scores, and others in which just a few passes allowed him to rack up goodies in bunches. For any... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

O.J. Howard (TE, TB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 17% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think there is any need to introduce O.J. Howard to you by talking about his past seasons here. That is already a well-known story and one we don't want to remember, but rather forget as soon as possible. Just to put... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

N'Keal Harry (WR, NE) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ PPR Team Leagues ROSTERED: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I must admit that I was really high on N'Keal Harry last season, in his rookie year and the last with QB Tom Brady playing for the Patriots. And what did Harry do? Let me know, that is. Over his seven played... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Preston Williams (WR, MIA) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Some fantasy GMs will check the Week 1 fantasy-point leaderboard and deem Williams as a bust and not worth waiver wire addition. And they will be super wrong with that approach. Don't be that guy, please. First of all, Miami faced New England... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Cardinals kicked off the 2020 season finishing their Week 1 game this close to putting two players (with Monday's games still to be played) in the top-10 of PPR leaderboards. QB Kyler Murray racked up 29.3 and WR DeAndre Hopkins reached 29.1... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Danny Amendola (WR, DET) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Danny Amendola has me excited. Actually, the Lions as a whole have me excited. Matthew Stafford is back healthy and although he only completed 24 of his 42 pass attempts he still threw for 297 yards, of which 81 came from Amendola's... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Only one week into the season, sure, but I am already celebrating Aaron Rodgers getting back to his 2011 vibes! Yay! This is not about Green Bay's quarterback, though. It is about who seems to have solidified himself as the Packers no. 2... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Sammy Watkins (WR, KC) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED: 41% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It might sound ridiculous, and it probably is, but it wouldn't be too crazy to say Watkins may be already past his peak this year after having a great Week 1 performance. If you remember what happened last season, you'd understand what I'm talking... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Jordan Akins (TE, HOU) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I know what you're thinking. Akins only reached 11.9 PPR points once in all of last season while playing the full 16-game schedule. I know about that. Other than a 22.3-point performance all the way back in Week 3 when he caught three passes... Read More Antonio Losada 7 days ago

Jerick McKinnon (RB, SF) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Tarik Cohen, Duke Johnson, Sony Michel. All players who disappointed in 2019. All of them reached the 150-point threshold in full-PPR leagues. The reason they were considered busts had to do with expectations. Michel should have continued his playoff success from the previous... Read More Pierre Camus 1 week ago

Chris Thompson (RB, JAX) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville’s decision to jettison Leonard Fournette has ignited interest in Devine Ozigbo, Ryquell Armstead, and James Robinson, as the fantasy community attempts to determine which back will benefit most from Fournette’s departure. However, Thompson was destined to receive a sizable share of the 100 targets that Fournette... Read More Pierre Camus 1 week ago

Boston Scott (RB, PHI) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Scott’s journey into the fantasy landscape began slowly. He was selected 201st overall by New Orleans during the 2018 NFL Draft before Philadelphia signed him from the Saints' practice squad later that season. He started 2019 as an afterthought within the Eagles’ backfield,... Read More Phil Clark 1 week ago

Joshua Kelley (RB, LAC) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's hard to believe the Bolts spent a third-round pick on a running back so he could sit behind Justin Jackson. Kelley will have to battle Jackson for the job but he has the goods to do so. He also won't usurp Austin... Read More Pierre Camus 1 week ago

Chris Herndon (TE, NYJ) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Herndon has been catching on lately as a sleeper in the fantasy community, partly due to the injuries across the Jets' WR corps. Also, he's a great athlete at tight end and could finally fulfill the promise of a year ago before suspension and... Read More Antonio Losada 2 weeks ago

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR, IND) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Indianapolis Colts have a new quarterback in Philip Rivers. Since 2009, Rivers has supported a WR2 with a top 40 finish at the position eight times, including the past three seasons. Heck, his WR3 has finished top-50 four times over that sample. So,... Read More Justin Carter 2 weeks ago

Bryan Edwards (WR, LV) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I felt good about this pick when I drafted Edwards in a dynasty rookie draft and traded for him in an FFPC Startup draft back in May. I felt really good about it when he was announced as the starting X receiver for... Read More Pierre Camus 2 weeks ago

Breshad Perriman (WR, NYJ) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Somebody's got to catch passes for the Jets, right? With Denzel Mims sidelined throughout training camp, his rookie year could be a wash if he doesn't recover soon. Recently signed Chris Hogan is listed as a starter opposite Perriman with Lawrence Cager, Josh... Read More Pierre Camus 2 weeks ago

Philip Rivers (QB, IND) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For one of the first times in his career, Philip Rivers started to show his age for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2019. Rivers had his seventh straight season with at least 4,300 yards passing but took major steps back in touchdowns (23,... Read More Dan Fornek 2 weeks ago

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Melvin Gordon now gone, Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson will head this Chargers backfield. While Jackson has dealt with a toe injury recently, his status for the opener was cleared up as coach Anthony Lynn specified the RB should be good to... Read More Rishi Patel 2 weeks ago

Benny Snell (RB, PIT) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Snell manufactured 426 yards on 108 attempts (3.9 yards per attempt) during his 2019 rookie season, although he was a complete non-factor as a pass-catcher (4 targets/3 receptions/23 yards). He did average 73.6 yards per game during the five matchups in which he received 16+ carries and tied for... Read More Phil Clark 2 weeks ago

Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jonathan Taylor averaged a whopping 309 attempts and 2,058 rushing yards per season during his three years at Wisconsin. But he only accumulated 42 receptions and 407 yards as a receiver. He will begin this season splitting carries with Marlon Mack, while Hines will... Read More Phil Clark 2 weeks ago

James Robinson (RB, JAX) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville’s decision to jettison Leonard Fournette has ignited interest in Devine Ozigbo, Ryquell Armstead, and James Robinson, as the fantasy community attempts to determine which back will benefit most from Fournette’s departure. Jacksonville's failed efforts to trade Fournette were well-documented and were followed by the Jaguars'... Read More Phil Clark 2 weeks ago

Darrel Williams (RB, KC) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After Damien Williams made his decision to opt-out of the 2020 regular season, former Raider DeAndre Washington was initially a popular choice to capture backup duties behind Clyde Edwards-Helaire. However, it was Darrel Williams who commandeered the most first-team reps during training camp... Read More Phil Clark 2 weeks ago

Scotty Miller (WR, TB) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: To be clear, I am not drinking the Tompa Bay Kool-Aid anywhere else. I have Gronk as a bust, Brady as overvalued, and will not reach for any Bucs running back, including Leonard Fournette. I am buying the preseason hype on Miller. Ignore... Read More Pierre Camus 2 weeks ago

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Draft Values BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~175 Overall CURRENT ADP: 200+ (undrafted) ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. out of Alabama finished his rookie season in 2019 with 36 catches for 311 yards and two touchdowns. While those numbers aren't eye-popping, the 21-year-old has been highly touted and is expected to see some progression in his second... Read More RotoBaller 2 weeks ago

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Fantasy Football Draft Values BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~135 Overall CURRENT ADP: 160+ ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle is in the best situation he has ever been in. He is the undisputed TE1 on the Colts' depth chart, and the addition of Philip Rivers at quarterback means he will be targeted often on third downs and in the... Read More RotoBaller 2 weeks ago

James Washington (WR, PIT) - Fantasy Football Draft Values BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~190 Overall CURRENT ADP: 220+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington will open the season as the team's WR3. The once top-rated prospect has lost a lot of momentum due to the emergence of trendy sleeper Diontae Johnson and the drafting of Canadian Chase Claypool. However, there is reason to... Read More RotoBaller 2 weeks ago

Parris Campbell (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Draft Values BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 190+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell had a tough rookie season plagued by several injuries, including a broken foot that ended his 2019 season. Heading into Campbell's second season with the Colts, he will have a competent quarterback in Philip Rivers throwing him the ball... Read More RotoBaller 2 weeks ago

Ian Thomas (TE, CAR) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Greg Olsen ruled the tight end roost in Carolina for almost a decade, but now it is Thomas’ time to shine since Olsen took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks during the offseason. Fantasy general managers have avoided Thomas during their drafts this month... Read More Antonio Losada 2 weeks ago

Randall Cobb (WR, HOU) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: While Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks will get all the shine in this receiving corps early on, I really, really like Randall Cobb. He'll be the primary slot option for the Texans, serving as the underneath safety valve for Deshaun Watson while the... Read More Antonio Losada 2 weeks ago

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 9% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cole Beasley can be reliable in fantasy depending on the matchup. His first year with Buffalo last season wasn't all that bad as he compiled 67 receptions on 106 targets for 778 yards and six touchdowns. Adding to that, his Week 1 matchup against...
