Can We Trust Diontae Johnson in Fantasy Playoffs?

Diontae Johnson has taken over as the number one receiver in Pittsburgh this season. He has also been benched this season for drops and publicly called out by coach Mike Tomlin.

What Is Carson Wentz's Dynasty Value Now?

There's no two ways around it, Carson Wentz has had a terrible season. Heading into Week 14, at the end of the fantasy regular season, he leads the NFL in interceptions and was just replaced in the lineup with rookie Jalen Hurts. While much of this was not his fault, a lot of it was. […]

How to Lose With Class in Fantasy Football

We have all seen it before. The person in your league who gives up halfway through the season. They act like a petulant five-year old who does not get their way, taking their ball and going home. There are many reasons why someone may choose to cash it in early. Injuries have ruined their team. […]

Hollywood Brown: Where Have You Gone?

We knew 2020 would be a bad year for Hollywood. We did not think it would be Hollywood Brown. After a sensational yet shortened rookie season in 2019, a lot was expected from Marquise Brown this season in Baltimore. To this point, not only has the team disappointed, so has the lightning-quick wide receiver who […]

What to Expect from Taysom Hill

New Orleans is the number one seed in the NFC at the moment. They got there despite not having Michael Thomas most of the season. Their defense also struggled early before coming together lately. What did the team have then to make them so solid? Drew Brees. He may not be what he used to […]

It's Officially D'Andre Swift Time in Detroit

It's not a question whether it is D’Andre Swift's time in Detroit. The statement is simple: it is D’Andre Swift's time in Detroit. At least it would be if they were smart. With the Bears faltering lately and Minnesota still without a winning record, the Lions have a chance to do something in the division […]

Kansas City Conundrum: Abandoning the Run and CEH?

At 8-1 heading into their bye week, you would think the Chiefs have nothing to worry about in 2020. You might be wrong. Despite their offense once again being near the top in the NFL, their running game is near the bottom. This could be a fatal flaw come playoff time. A big key to […]

Mining for Fantasy Gold in San Francisco

Injuries have ravaged a lot of NFL teams this 2020 season. From the Cowboys to the Eagles, there have been few teams who have escaped some form of damage. This is no more prevalent than in San Francisco. Not even including massive losses on defense, the 49ers have been without Deebo Samuel and Tevin Coleman […]

Help Wanted: NFL Trades We Want to See for Fantasy

The NFL trade deadline is next Tuesday. With COVID parameters in place this season, teams will look to make moves early to avoid having to wait even an extra week to start their new additions.

How to Value Clyde Edwards-Helaire with Le'Veon Bell in KC

Clyde Edwards-Helaire or Jonathan Taylor? Coming into the season this was the biggest question for fantasy GMs, both dynasty managers who were thinking long-term and redraft managers who wanted to know who would be better for this season. There were many different theories and believe me when I say, both sides thought they were 100% […]

Should We Worry About Amari Cooper and the Dallas Receivers?

With Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott leading the way, the Dallas Cowboys' offense is stacked at the skill positions; however, the offensive line is a mess. Travis Frederick was a huge loss this offseason. The season-ending injury to Tyron Smith makes it even worse for anyone behind center. Andy Dalton is no Dak Prescott. He […]

Digging for Value in the New York Jets Backfield

It was a long time coming and finally it happened. The Jets wanted away from Le’Veon Bell and the feeling was certainly mutual. In a season marred by bad play and worse coaching, the Jets took another loss by releasing their prized free-agent signing from last season. In a total of 21 games on the […]

Can We Count on Kenyan Drake?

After a top-four finish following his trade from Miami to Arizona, running back Kenyan Drake was all the hype coming into fantasy drafts this season.

With the Bears trailing the Falcons 26-10, Matt Nagy finally made the move Bears fan have anticipated by going to Nick Foles in Week 3. While this may have been expected by most and a surprise to a random few, no one knew exactly when it would happen. With the announcement Monday of Nick Foles […]

The Mysterious Case of Carson Wentz

It was only a few seasons ago when Carson Wentz was the darling of the NFL. Despite missing the final month of the season, he was in serious consideration for MVP. He got the Philadelphia Eagles in position to win their first Super Bowl. He was also beloved by the city of Philadelphia. How times […]

Why Noah Fant Will Be This Year's Breakout Tight End

Every year in fantasy football, the tight end position is, for lack of a better word, mediocre. There are a few stars at the top and then a group of indistinguishable players in the middle. Sometimes though, there is one who waded through the muck and rises to the top of the heap. Last season, […]

Kareem Hunt (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~48 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~64 ANALYSIS: After returning from suspension last season, Kareem Hunt took a bite out of the production of Nick Chubb. In those eight games, Hunt out-snapped Chubb in six of them. He also took a large chunk of the targets, but keep in mind that Odell Beckham Jr. […]

Anthony Miller (WR, CHI) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~143 ANALYSIS: Despite missing a game in 2019, Anthony Miller was still on the field for 64.2% of the Bears offensive snaps and finished with the second-most targets among wide receivers in Chicago's offense. Although he did not make much of these in terms of scoring, only having […]

Allen Lazard - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Coming into the 2019 season, the debate in Green Bay was whether Geronimo Allison or Marquez Valdes-Scantling would be the WR2 for Aaron Rodgers. It turned out neither of them was able to take the mantle. Through injury and inconsistency, both players fell short, thus leaving an opening for second-year undrafted free agent Allen Lazard to come […]

Anthony Miller - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper

After a good season by Chicago Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky in 2018, the optimism was high for WR Anthony Miller heading into 2019. After regression from Trubisky and the team last season, things did not turn out well though. The Bears, therefore, brought in QB Nick Foles to compete with Trubisky for the starting QB job, and this […]

Meet the Mount Rushmore of 2020 Fantasy Football

We all know the big names that dominated their positions last year: Lamar Jackson, Michael Thomas, Christian McCaffrey, and Travis Kelce were league-leaders and often league-winners for a lot of fantasy managers. All these players finished at number one at their respective positions. This does not mean they were the best values though. C-Mac was […]

Antonio Gibson (RB, WAS) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~160 ANALYSIS: Washington drafted Antonio Gibson in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft and declared him a pro-running back going forward.

Antonio Gibson - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper
