Isaiah Crowell (RB, NYJ) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: The reason last season’s performance was such a let-down for New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell owners is due to the promise that he showed the previous season. His 2016-2017 numbers were not necessarily breathtaking, but he finished that year as the 14th best running back in […]


Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: The brief Brandon Marshall experiment is over in NY, which will allow New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard to again claim the Giants’ number two receiver spot behind Beckham outright, much like he did in his rookie season. Both he and Beckham are working back from injuries of varying degrees, […]


The Perfect Pair - Two Mid-Round QBs that Can Combine for QB1 Value

The same question is everlastingly debated every year – should you take one of the elite level quarterbacks early, or wait on some of the QB2s with upside later? It’s definitely a debate worth having, but there are so many moving parts it becomes difficult to say decisively if taking a QB either early or […]


Devin Funchess (WR, CAR) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~60 CURRENT ADP: ~70 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess put together a very solid season last year and finished as the 19th most targeted receiver with 113, in addition to doubling his end zone output from the previous year with eight touchdowns. Funchess has seen no fewer than 13 red zone […]


Devontae Booker (RB, DEN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 CURRENT ADP: ~125 ANALYSIS: With both C.J. Anderson and Jamaal Charles gone, Denver Broncos third-year running back Devontae Booker will have the early opportunity to take a stranglehold of the lead back duties . In his first two years, he has been somewhat lost in a messy backfield and has totaled 911 total rushing […]


ADP Arbitrage - Mid-round Players to Target in Redraft

You can and probably will do mock drafts every week until the cows come home, but based on the likes, dislikes and sometimes erratic decisions of your league mates, you can never be certain just how your particular situation will end up on draft night. That means that there is a chance that you miss […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into Week 17

This is it. Week 17 of the fantasy football season always seems so far away in early September, but it comes back every year before any of us are ready. For those of you that won championships or somehow managed to scrape your way to a top finish in your league last week, many congratulations […]

To those of you that are playing for a championship in Week 16, well done, you have reached the heights that we all set out for way back in August and September. Now is the time to go with your gut and make the roster decisions to end all roster decisions and put yourself in the best position […]

It is Week 14, and congratulations are in order for those of you that made the playoffs in your leagues.

Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into Week 13

Whether your fantasy playoffs start next week or the week after, Week 13 marks one of the last opportunities you will have to jostle for position and secure a playoff birth. By the same token, one wrong move now could just about eliminate you from contention. Making the right roster decisions has never been more […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into Week 12

Now that we have made it through all of the bye weeks and all of the healthy players on your roster will be available for the home stretch, the decisions about who to start and what players it might finally be time to give up on becomes even more difficult. This is compounded by the […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into Week 11

We are somehow already entering Week 11, and there is only a little over a quarter of the fantasy season left. There is very little room for error now, as trade deadlines are now imminent with playoffs set to begin in just a few short weeks. That means that there is no time to waste […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into Week 9

It is now Week 9, and fantasy owners are either making their push for the playoffs, or tailoring their rosters with the confidence that their playoff spot is more or less locked down. That means that every roster decision becomes all the more important both this week and for the rest of the season, with […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into Week 8

With half of the fantasy season in the rear view and Week 8 byes raking everyone through the mud, the time is now to make firm decisions on some of those underperforming players you have held all season. Trade deadlines in many leagues are on the horizon as well, making the need for swift decision […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into NFL Week 7

Another week, another round of devastating and serious long-term injuries to some of the game's top fantasy names.

This week, […]

Players Sending Out Warning Signals: Heading Into NFL Week 6

The injury bug bit down hard on many NFL players in Week 5. With so many injuries to some of the biggest fantasy studs through five weeks, you might have to hold on to some of the underperforming players you were sure you would be rid of by now to provide depth for your roster, […]


Players Sending Warning Signals Heading Into NFL Week 5

With a quarter of the season already complete, it is time to take a hard look at some of the players you have been holding on to hoping for a change. The season is still young, but with byes kicking off this week and 25% of your fantasy season in the books, we are quickly […]


Players Sending Warning Signals Heading Into NFL Week 4

Entering Week 3 of the NFL season, fantasy owners have had a chance to take a closer look at some of the more concerning players on their rosters, and are undoubtedly ready to start making some meaningful decisions. It is still very early in a long season though, with plenty of time for favorable trends […]


Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 2

The Grass Isn't Always Greener - NFL Free Agents Who Will Decrease in Value

There was major shake-up with NFL Free Agency this offseason, particularly at the running back position. When you think about team’s infuriating commitment to RBBC, all of the running backs that have been on the move in 2017 make sense. From a fantasy perspective though, it just makes it that much harder for owners to […]
