BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE:  Mid-range TE1 with top-5 upside ANALYSIS: Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson is 2nd on the team in target share (20%) the past two weeks. He's turned his opportunities into 11 catches for 149 yards and a touchdown. He looks like George Kittle right here with his yards after […]

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10 and 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE:  Boom or bust WR5 ANALYSIS: Gabe Davis has been a boom-or-bust option all season long. Of his 13 games played, he has four games with over 85 yards and a touchdown. However, he has seven games with 35 yards or fewer. That includes three games […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE:  Top-10 TE with top-5 upside ANALYSIS: Joe Flacco has been fantastic for Cleveland Brown pass-catchers the last two weeks. The Browns have attempted 89 passes in the last two games with Flacco under center. David Njoku has only been a recipient of 14 of them but […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE:  Top-5 TE with overall TE1 upside ANALYSIS: Evan Engram has been cookin' of late. In his last two games without Christian Kirk, he's caught 20 balls for 177 yards and three touchdowns on 21 targets. Per PlayerProfiler, he's had two of his highest route participation rates of […]

Week 14 is in the books, which means the fantasy football playoffs are upon us! In this weekly column, we'll be looking at fantasy football players whose arrows may be pointing up and players whose arrows may be pointing down based on the previous week's games. We'll try not to overreact, but instead use relevant […]

Through 23 games last season, the Orlando Magic were just 5-18. At one point, they had lost nine straight. Oh, how the tides have turned in just one year. This season, the Magic are 16-7 through 23 games and own the third-best record in the Eastern Conference. They even turned that nine-game losing streak from […]

Week 13 has come and gone. The fantasy football playoffs are starting for some and just around the corner for others. In the coming weeks, fantasy managers will have some tough decisions to make. In this weekly column, we'll be looking at fantasy football players whose arrows may be pointing up and players whose arrows […]

12 weeks down, just a couple more weeks to go until the fantasy football playoffs. Your league's trade deadline may have passed, but it's still important to understand key risers and fallers to see who you may want to start and sit in the coming weeks based on new information. In this weekly column, we'll […]

Thanks to my good friend Joe Nicely for filling the last two weeks. I'm back in action for Week 8, and looking forward to breaking down my fantasy football risers and fallers as always. Let's get right back to it! We're now seven weeks in with 11 more to go. Week 7 is now officially […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. Here, I'll try to uncover some sleepers and undervalued players for 2023 fantasy football drafts. Who isn't getting the attention they […]

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. In 2021 he had eight or more targets in nearly half of his games. Last season, he saw eight or […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~275 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~297 ANALYSIS: If you follow me on Twitter (or X, not entirely sure what we're calling it these days), then you know I'm a sucker for Richie James. And that dates back to last season when he "broke out" for the short-handed Giants down the stretch. From […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. Deep-ball specialists like Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Christian Watson have greater value in standard […]

NBA All-Star weekend has come to a close, which means two things. One, and maybe most obvious, we're in the "second half" of the 2022-23 NBA season. Two, and maybe more importantly for many of you, we're nearing the fantasy basketball playoffs. And with the fantasy basketball playoffs on the horizon, we also have the […]

We have a lot of good (and new) information we can use to help make decisions as we head into Week 17, "championship week." In this weekly column, we'll be looking at players whose arrows may […]

In this article, we'll take a look at three backfields that could be seeing a changing of the guard right before our eyes. In Dallas, Tony Pollard has been spectacular in Ezekiel Elliott's absence, but can he remain the "starter" even when Zeke returns? In Miami, Raheem Mostert had been the guy all season, but […]
