Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley was another PPR favorite of mine this off-season. For all the questions I got, “Would you rather have Allen Hurns or Michael Gallup?” I always answered Cole Beasley. Two years ago, Beasley was Dak Prescott’s favorite target. In 2016 Beasley had […]

Bold Predictions for 2018 Fantasy Football - Kyle Richardson

I love bold predictions. I have always had two schools of thought on this. Bold predictions could happen. A long-shot, sure, but still possible. Hot takes are even more unlikely to happen. While you are reading this article, keep in mind these predictions probably won’t come true, but there is an outside chance they could […]

Halfway through the pre-season and we are one week closer to real football! Well, hopefully, it’s real football.

Corey Clement (RB, PHI) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

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 […]

Kenny Stills (WR, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

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 […]

Running Back Committees to Buy in 2018

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 […]

Running Back Committees to Avoid in 2018

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 […]

Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

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 […]

Kenny Golladay (WR, DET) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

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 […]

Marquise Goodwin (WR, SF) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

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. For those that were unfortunately off of the hype train at the end of last season, there is still time to get on […]

Royce Freeman (RB, DEN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

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. The fact that a potential lead back has an ADP of 55 seems insane and he may even be a steal in the fifth round […]

Case Keenum (QB, DEN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

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 […]

Why You Shouldn't Buy Stefon Diggs..... Yet

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 […]

Dak Prescott (QB, DAL) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

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 […]

Here Comes the Breakout - Joe Mixon

One of the most debated players this off-season has been Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon. Selected in the second round of the 2017 draft, he was widely considered one of, if not the best, running backs in the draft last season. Fantasy owners bought into the running back as well, helping boost his ADP […]

Dynasty Team Analysis - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

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 […]

Let It Go - Players To Drop In Dynasty Leagues

One of the most underrated assets in PPR leagues, Tate continues to be the gold standard of consistency and yet, his name is not one that typically enters the conversation of those top-tier wide […]

Can Christian McCaffrey Improve on 2017?

You had to wonder what Christian McCaffrey was going to bring to the Carolina Panthers offense last season when they selected him eighth overall in the 2017 draft. Even though McCaffrey was a star at Stanford, there were concerns regarding his ability to perform at the NFL level as a true between-the-tackles running back. Would […]
