If you follow me on Twitter (@krich1532), you know I love to play the game Keep/Trade/Cut. We pick three players with an average draft position (ADP) in the same range and we determine what we will do with them. This is a great exercise to start a discussion and get your brain moving. So why... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Target ~125 CURRENT ADP: ~140 ANALYSIS: Owners continue to invest in Jay Ajayi and, for the life of us, we will never understand why. Do we continue to chase perceived value from his 2016 season, where 49% of his yards game in three games? Ajayi has only ran for 100 yards in a game twice since he... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Target ~125 CURRENT ADP: ~135 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills is surprisingly still a sleeper, even though he has been a solid player in the past. His current ADP in dynasty leagues still stands 154.2. Stills is being drafted as a WR5 right now and is still only 26 years old. If you... Read More
Training camp is in full swing and so are the daily tweets from beat reporters showing 30-second highlight clips of fades to the corner of the end zone or quick comments from coaches that start to cast doubt on whether we picked the right player this off-season. This is the time of the year where... Read More
The three-down back is starting to disappear in the NFL, and fantasy owners who don’t have a top first-round pick are missing out on the elite options. The shift to more committees in the NFL has also altered the way fantasy football owners draft. There are some team backfields you may want to avoid for... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Target ~170 CURRENT ADP: ~185 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki may be just the rookie tight end to hype, something that is very rare in fantasy football. Even Rob Gronkowski was not a TE1 during his rookie season and it took a perfect storm of injuries in 2017 for Evan Engram to reach that level. Luckily, since... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 CURRENT ADP: ~145 ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay had his hype train run out of control for several weeks prior to last season. It eventually wound down, but it did not stop dynasty owners from trying to add him in as many leagues as possible. At one point, many believed... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Target ~90 CURRENT ADP: ~100 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin came on strong at the end of last season, making him a good addition in most dynasty leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~45 CURRENT ADP: ~55 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman is part of an emerging Broncos team that added Case Keenum and may be able to surprise people.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~135 CURRENT ADP: ~145 ANALYSIS: Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum does not get enough love for making the move to Denver and giving them an upgrade at quarterback for the first time since Peyton Manning hung it up. Keenum’s current ADP is 145 and is the 24th quarterback taken in drafts. The Broncos have... Read More
You already know where I am going with this article so we need to get something out of the way right now. Just because I am down on a player doesn’t mean I don’t like him. That holds true for Stefon Diggs. I think Diggs is immensely talented and has all the potential to become... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Target ~115 CURRENT ADP: ~125 ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a down year and a lot of owners completely forget that the Cowboys had one of the best offenses just one season ago. In 2016, the Cowboys were fifth in yards per game (376.7) and fifth in total points (421). Prescott was one... Read More

Just like loyal fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I had high hopes for the team entering 2017. They had made some key free agent acquisitions including DeSean Jackson, had a defense anchored by Kwon Alexander and Lavonte David and franchise quarterback Jameis Winston had another year to grow. Everything seemed to be in place... Read More
