As an addendum to our famous Waiver Wire pickups list, we now present suggested percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Acquisition Budget (FAAB). As a caveat, these prices do not by any means indicate how much these players will go for. Each league values players differently and will continue to do so. These auction values are here to provide a baseline to understand roughly how much you ~should~ be spending on a particular player. If you want to go wild and blo[...]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown has scored twice in the first two games, but you should also pay attention to the fact he was targeted 10 times in Week 2. The Ravens will continue to chuck the ball with great frequency and Brown is the WR2 there. He's been just as productive as Michael Crabtree thus far, but is available in three-fourths of fantasy leagues. It may not have been health concerns alone hold[...]

The Baltimore Ravens could add another wide receiver to their receiving corps in the opening round of the 2019 draft. Five of the six wideouts currently on the Ravens roster are newcomers, with three coming over this offseason as free agents, plus two rookies. However, John Brown is slated to be an unrestricted free agent following the season and the Ravens could cut Michael Crabtree if he doesn't live up to expectations. Currently, reserve running back Javorius Allen leads the team with 10 cat[...]

Up is down, black is white, cats and dogs are living together. Ryan Fitzpatrick is the best QB in football (OK, behind Pat Mahomes) and Blake Bortles doubled Aaron Rodgers in fantasy points this week. Also, Joe Mixon, Devonta Freeman, and Leonard Fournette are sidelined by injuries while Le'Veon Bell continues to sideline himself. Also, the fifth-string receiver on Kansas City seems to carry more value than LeSean McCoy and Josh Gordon is suddenly looking for a new team. The waiver wire has neve[...]

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros. I did decently in Week 1, scoring 29th out of ~130 experts, but if I'm going to beat my 9th place finish from '17 then I've got work to do! I'll be examining my own ranks against the ECR on a position-by-position basis, as the overall and flex tabs can simply get insane with every position folded in with [...]

Welcome to my Week 2 Wide Receiver Waiver Wire additions column. I am excited to add this article to my bag of tricks for the 2018 season. Working the waiver wire is one of, if not the most important aspect to winning a fantasy football league. The one piece of advice I need to give this week though, is not to overreact. Your season is not over after Week 1 - so be smart with the waiver wire this week and look to enhance your team, not give it a face lift. I split this article into a few diff[...]

Welcome, one and all, to the weekly piece that puts my rankings under the microscope and gives me a chance to explain myself against the Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) found on FantasyPros. If this is your first time reading me, then hi! Why should you care about me? Well, my finish as the ninth-most accurate in-season expert on FantasyPros out of ~125 smart cookies last season should suffice. I'm out here trying to hang with the Sean Koerners and Jake Cielys of the world, and you'll have a [...]

As draft season comes to an end, it is important to remember that there is good value available in the late rounds or even on waivers after it's all over. Lottery ticket picks that work out often end up being difference-makers for the fantasy owners that select the aforementioned players. One position where fantasy owners tend to ignore hidden value, however, is wide receiver. Despite the fact that the difference between top wideouts and complementary options is not incredibly huge, many fant[...]
