Tony Pollard - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE:  Top-10 RB with top-5 upside ANALYSIS: Somehow, someway, Tony Pollard is still a low-end RB1 this season. But it hasn't been pretty.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~136 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~185 ANALYSIS: Last season, Green Bay wide receivers were targeted 296 times. Now 150 of those targets are up for grabs, with Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb both in New York with Aaron Rodgers. The Packers drafted wide receiver Jayden Reed in the second round of the […]

Must-Have Running Backs - Adam Koffler's Fantasy Football Picks Include Jahmyr Gibbs, Khalil Herbert, James Cook, more

I could sit here and talk about needing to roster Christian McCaffrey, Austin Ekeler, Bijan Robinson, and Saquon Barkley this season, but that's just not realistic given their average draft position (ADP). So instead, I'll focus on a variety of backs that have varying ADPs that you should be able to get in a snake […]

Undervalued PPR Targets for 2023 Fantasy Football Drafts - Romeo Doubs, Richie James, Elijah Moore, more

In a previous article, I highlighted WRs to prioritize in PPR leagues. That included some popular names such as Amon-Ra St. Brown and Keenan Allen. This article is going to be a bit different.

Elijah Moore (WR, CLE): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~150 ANALYSIS: As big of a post-hype sleeper as you'll find, Elijah Moore had a morbid sophomore campaign after putting up very solid numbers as a rookie.

Five Overvalued Running Backs for Fantasy Football Drafts - Jonathan Taylor, Dameon Pierce, Najee Harris, more

It has become one of the most volatile positions in the NFL. Running backs get injured at a higher rate than other skill positions because of the number of reps. Then they feel as if they're not paid enough and we see guys "holding in" this offseason. When will Josh Jacobs, J.K. Dobbins, and Jonathan […]

Fantasy Football Wide Receivers With Reduced Target Share in 2023

Every offseason, new players join new teams. Whether it's via the NFL Draft, free agency, or a trade, the landscape shifts. At the wide receiver position, in particular, a new addition tends to mean a different, or new, target distribution. But what does that mean exactly? High-target earners joining a team can decrease the target […]

2023 Fantasy Football RBs To Prioritize In PPR, But Fade In Standard Leagues

Some people play in standard (non-PPR) fantasy football leagues, some play in half-PPR leagues, and some play in full-PPR leagues. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages, but what's more important is identifying the players who best fit each type of league. Some running backs are rarely targeted. Take J.K. Dobbins, Isiah Pacheco, and Rashaad […]
