Stop that Hype Train! Marlon Mack

Often, fantasy football sleepers stop being sleepers because so many people have collectively decided that they are sleepers and they start to jump up draft boards. When the players end up being drafted above their worth, you end up with a spot on your roster that isn't giving you maximum value. Don't do that. Don't […]

Deshaun Watson Likely To Play In Preseason Opener

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien says that quarterback Deshaun Watson, who missed the second half of the 2017 season after tearing his ACL, will likely play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, though he isn't certain that the second-year passer will suit up. If Watson does play, it will be interesting […]

Keke Coutee - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Houston Texans have spent much of their short existence with issues at the slot receiver spot. From the recent disappointment of former Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, who hasn't adapted to the position nearly as well as he looked like he would after playing his final year as a Buckeye as a receiver, to […]

Stephen Anderson Listed As Fifth Tight End

Houston Texans tight end Stephen Anderson was a popular waiver add at one point during the 2017 season thanks to his solid ability as a receiver, but in Houston's first unofficial depth chart Anderson sits fifth at the position behind starter Ryan Griffin, rookies Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas, and MyCole Pruitt. Anderson was expected […]

Why You Should Wait on Tight End This Year

The tight end position is always one of the most frustrating ones to fill. There's a major gap between the top talent at the position and everyone else in a way that there isn't for running backs, wide receivers, and quarterbacks, so it can be tempting to grab someone in the Rob Gronkowski/ Travis Kelce/ […]

Keelan Cole And Marqise Lee Listed As Starters

In preparation for Thursday's preseason opener against the Saints, the Jacksonville Jaguars have released their initial depth chart, which lists Keelan Cole and Marqise Lee as the starting wide receivers. Dede Westbrook and D.J. Chark are listed as the primary backups, with Donte Moncrief surprisingly holding down the fifth spot. It's still too early to […]

Tyler Ervin Looks Healthy In Training Camp

Houston Texans running back Tyler Ervin lost much of his 2017 season to a patellar tendon tear, but Ervin is back at training camp and has impressed the coaching staff. Ervin's main role on the Texans is as a return man, but the back did add eight catches for 38 yards last season in four […]

Cody Kessler Continues Strong Training Camp

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Cody Kessler has now taken part in nine 11-on-11 practice sessions so far at training camp and has yet to throw an interception. Kessler, who Jacksonville acquired from Cleveland for a conditional seventh round pick back in March, will take over the backup role that Chad Henne had occupied for the last several […]

D'Onta Foreman Is "Heading In The Right Direction"

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien says that running back D'Onta Foreman is "heading in the right direction" as he works to return from a torn Achilles that cost him most of his rookie season, but remains unsure about when Foreman will be back with the team. In 2017, Foreman was a popular sleeper pick […]

D.J. Chark Impresses Teammates In Training Camp

The Jacksonville Jaguars already had a decent group of wide receivers when they drafted LSU receiver D.J. Chark in the second round in this year's draft, leading many to suspect that he wouldn't make a big impact for the Jaguars. That may still be true, but Chark's training camp performances have drawn praise from quarterback […]

Marqise Lee Is Back At Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee has returned to practice after missing the team's last two practices with a shoulder injury. Lee, who caught 56 passes for 702 yards and three touchdowns last season for the Jaguars, is part of a crowded wide receiving corp in Jacksonville, but he's appeared near the top of some […]

Texans Excited About Sammie Coates

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien has been impressed by wide receiver Sammie Coates so far in training camp and could see him playing a role for the team on special teams. If he makes the team, Coates will likely be just the fourth or fifth receiver in Houston's wide receiver rotation, but the former […]

Is Patrick Mahomes Really Going to Air It Out?

The Kansas City Chiefs will turn to a new quarterback in 2018, with former Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes taking the reins in Arrowhead Stadium. Known during college for his strong arm and gunslinger mentality, he takes over a Chiefs offense that has one of the league's faster wide receivers, Tyreek Hill, and a newly-acquired […]

Fantasy Basketball Risers and Fallers after Summer League

The 2018 Summer League has come and gone. With every game being available to stream this year, exposure to Summer League was at all-time high.

Rookie Roulette - Which QB Should Go First in Dynasty Drafts?

The talk about who is the first rookie taken in dynasty drafts this year begins and ends with Giants running back Saquon Barkley. Any discussion that answers with a different name is doing so just to be a contrarian. The real question this year comes with the quarterback position, where a host of early draft […]

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of […]

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Furkan Korkmaz played in just 14 games as a rookie while dealing with a Lisfranc injury and he didn't show a whole lot while he was on the floor, averaging just 1.6 points in 5.7 minutes per game, but after one game of the 2018 Las Vegas Summer League, Korkmaz's name […]

Bear Down - Players Who Will See Market Share of Targets Decrease

In order for an NFL wide receiver to have a successful fantasy season, that wide receiver has to have the ball thrown to him. It seems so simple, but predicting how the share of a team's targets will shake out is difficult stuff when you factor in the combination of rookies and free agents that […]

Justin Jackson Continues Hot Streak In Summer League

Sacramento Kings forward Justin Jackson struggled during his rookie season, averaging 6.7 points per game and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 30.8 percent from deep. In this year's California Classic Summer League, Jackson is looking much more like the guy that the Kings picked in the first round last season. On Thursday against Miami, Jackson scored […]

Marvin Bagley Continues To Struggle In Summer League

Sacramento Kings rookie power forward Marvin Bagley scored just one point in Thursday's loss to Miami. He was 0-for-2 from the field in 29 minutes and recorded three rebounds and a block. Bagley struggled to get inside position during the game, which contributed to his low number of shot attempts. After a promising first game, Bagley […]
