Cheap Workhorse Running Backs for 2023 Fantasy Football Drafts

One of the most common sayings when it comes to fantasy football is "volume is king." This is especially true for running backs, but it really applies to every single position. The more opportunities a running back has to touch the ball, the more yards they'll gain, and the higher chance they'll have of finding […]

Running Back Sleepers for 2023 Fantasy Football - Raheem Mostert, Roschon Johnson, Zach Evans, more

As NFL offenses and how coaches divvy up their team’s touches change, new fantasy football strategies emerge. Sometimes these changes can cause less popular strategies — like Zero-RB — to become increasingly more used and this is something we’re seeing this year. As more and more fantasy managers become concerned with the increase of the […]

Courtland Sutton (WR, DEN): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~94 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~108 ANALYSIS: The entire Denver offense was put through the wringer last season. Nothing was easy. Quarterback Russell Wilson was playing on a new team, in a new city, with a new coach for the first time in his NFL career. That new coach, Nathaniel Hackett, did […]

Zay Flowers (WR, BAL): Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers (2023)

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~100 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~125 ANALYSIS: At first glance, this may not look like one of the better landing spots because of how Baltimore’s offense has historically operated with Lamar Jackson under center. But the winds of change are blowing hard. Not only did they sign Odell Beckham Jr. to a […]

Cheap Quarterback–Wide Receiver Stacks to Consider for Redraft Fantasy Football in 2023

There are countless strategies to fantasy football and one of them that has grown in popularity, especially in Best Ball leagues is stacking. Stacking is the practice of drafting both the quarterback and their primary pass-catcher from the same team. This turns a touchdown into 10.5 points without even factoring in whatever yardage the duo […]

John Metchie III (WR, HOU): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~200 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~214 ANALYSIS: There is a possibility that Nico Collins may not be the guy in Houston, in which case John Metchie III becomes an excellent pivot option who can be drafted in the 16th round. Metchie was a second-round pick and an early declaration, both positive indicators for […]

Darius Slayton (WR, NYG): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~218 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~251 ANALYSIS:  It's hard to believe that Slayton is so cheap considering how well he played last season.

Bounce Back Wide Receiver Candidates For 2023 Fantasy Football - Diontae Johnson, Courtland Sutton, Deebo Samuel, more

Fantasy managers can sometimes be too quick to jump the gun on a player’s career or skill set. One bad year can turn into a belief that said player maybe isn’t as good as anymore or has been replaced or is on the downward slope of their career. However, sometimes, it was just a bad […]

Quentin Johnson (WR, LAC): Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers (2023)

BALLER MOVE: Target Around 110 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~123 ANALYSIS: At first glance, being drafted to a team that already employs Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Austin Ekeler, Joshua Palmer, and Gerald Everett could be construed as a negative thing. While there are certainly some barriers he needs to overcome, the landing spot is not without […]

Joe Mixon (RB, CIN): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~25 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~36 ANALYSIS: Joe Mixon is currently being drafted behind backs like Jahmyr Gibbs, Breece Hall, and Travis Etienne Jr. At his current ADP, I have to tell you that he is such a steal right now! He literally finished as the RB9 in half-PPR PPG last year, […]

Bounce Back Running Back Candidates For 2023 Fantasy Football

When it comes to sports, especially football and particularly the running back position, an athlete's success is often dependent on their teammates. A good offensive line is a running back's best friend. Although truly elite tailbacks can still be productive with below-average line play, most cannot. Fantasy analysts often interpret down years for running backs […]

Bounce Back Quarterback Candidates For 2023 Fantasy Football - Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson, Justin Herbert, more

An NFL player’s performance throughout the course of their career is never linear. How easy would this game be if it was? If they all continued to perform better from their rookie season until they reached a plateau and then began to decline, our fake little game would become increasingly less enjoyable. Why? Because it […]

Fantasy Football Impact of DeAndre Hopkins Signing With the Tennessee Titans

NFL free agency seems like a lifetime ago, but DeAndre Hopkins signing with the Tennessee Titans is one of the last few significant dominoes to fall. Fantasy managers have been awaiting his decision and the final verdict has likely left many disappointed. As far as fantasy landing spots go, Tennessee was certainly not the preferred […]

Alvin Kamara's 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook – Are You In or Out?

Alvin Kamara has been one of the very best fantasy running backs ever since he was drafted back in 2017. In fact, since that time he’s finished in the top five of half-PPR PPG in four out of six seasons. He’s finished as an RB1 five times and his very worst season was just this […]

Mike Williams 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook – Are You In or Out?

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams tends to elicit some pretty strong feelings in the fantasy football community. He’s been tagged for being injury-prone.

Fantasy Football Draft Targets And Avoids - AFC West Breakdowns For Javonte Williams, Jakobi Meyers, Keenan Allen, more

Finally, we have reached the last two divisions -- the AFC and NFC West -- after covering the AFC and NFC South divisions.

Specifically, the AFC West presents the opportunity for […]

Calvin Ridley 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook – Are You In or Out?

Calvin Ridley may be one of the bigger conundrums for fantasy football managers this season. Despite not having played a full season since 2020, he is currently being drafted as the WR20 on Yahoo! in half-PPR scoring. Ridley is being selected ahead of players such as D.J. Moore, Terry McLaurin, and Jerry Jeudy. Fantasy managers […]

Fantasy Football Draft Targets And Avoids- NFC South Breakdowns For Kyle Pitts, Alvin Kamara, Rachaad White, more

Much like the AFC South, the NFC South lacks fantasy football power.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of talent, there are not a lot of players to target. However, there are a few […]

Fantasy Football Draft Targets And Avoids - AFC South Breakdowns For Dameon Pierce, Calvin Ridley, Anthony Richardson, more

I discussed with my editors the possibility of skipping the AFC and NFC South articles as a protest against the expected poor performance of the eight clubs in these divisions. Well, except for you, Jacksonville. We think you'll probably be good, but to be fair, you’ve let us down in the past. Anyways, they said […]

Javonte Williams Fantasy Football Outlook – Are You In or Out?

Some fantasy managers have Javonte Williams completely off of their draft boards due to his significant knee injury. The injury wasn't your typical torn ACL, which brings with it some of its own concerns. Williams tore his ACL, LCL, and PLC. This multi-ligament injury creates plenty of reasons for fantasy managers to be skeptical. This […]

Fantasy Football Draft Targets And Avoids- NFC East Breakdowns For Dak Prescott, Jalen Hurts, Terry McLaurin, more

Our last entry featuring the AFC East was a rough one. There are several elite-level players in that division but very few in the second and third tiers.

Wide Receivers Breakouts for Fantasy Football - Sophomore WR Candidates

Rookie receivers have been all the rage for the past few years. However, the vast majority of players often need a year to transition to the NFL before they really start producing on a consistent basis. Rookie stars such as Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, and Jaylen Waddle are unicorns. It’s not abnormal for a poor […]

Nick Chubb Fantasy Football Outlook – Are You In or Out?

Fantasy managers often identify Nick Chubb as one of the best pure runners in the NFL, but he’s never viewed as an elite running back in fantasy football. His minimal receiving work and the presence of former teammate Kareem Hunt would constantly capp his ceiling. However, Hunt is now a free agent, and Chubb’s ADP […]

Aaron Jones 2023 Fantasy Football Outlook – Are You In Or Out?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past three months — and honestly, even if that’s the case — you’ve probably heard that Aaron Rodgers will not play quarterback for the Green Bay Packers next season.

San Francisco Skirmish – Deebo Samuel vs. Brandon Aiyuk for Fantasy Football

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel had a poor 2022 season that was largely attributed to injuries. Meanwhile, teammate Brandon Aiyuk experienced a third-year breakout campaign. Now entering the 2023 season, there are questions as to who is the true No. 1 receiver in San Francisco. Is it still Samuel, or will Aiyuk overtake […]
