Cleveland’s front office is high on Perez after his .305/.405/.517 slash line at Triple-A last season. The one word of caution I would […]

Ace? Pseudo Ace? Damaged Goods? Alex Cobb of the Tampa Bay Rays has tendinitis in his forearm and is slated to miss his Opening Day start, which for some reason has resulted in his draft stock falling fairly significantly. His average draft pick was 70.3 prior to the news of this minor injury, and is now at […]

BALLER MOVE: Draft Target Late in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Scooter Gennett now holds the reigns at second base for the Milwaukee Brewers, since Rickie Weeks has departed. He's flying under the radar in most fantasy drafts with an ADP of 283, even thought many people feel he could end up being a top 10 player in a weak position. I tend […]

Knowing When to Pass I’m not a big fan of a “Do Not Draft” list. Depending on the depth of a league, and how far a player falls, even Jarrod Saltalamacchia can find a loving home. But regardless of how a fantasy manager measures value, some guys just aren’t worth what you’d have to pay. If you’re […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 140 (Current ADP: 160, WR: 51) ANALYSIS: It's easy to see why Greg Jennings is ranked where he is this year, coming off of a "mediocre" year with 68 grabs for 804 yards and four touchdowns, but I'm here to convince you those numbers will improve by a decent margin. And as crazy as […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 105 (Current ADP: 128, WR: 44) ANALYSIS: After a promising rookie season in 2013, DeAndre Hopkins, the Texans' former first round pick out of Clemson, has shined this year in camp. He's been making the improvements expected of second year players, but has often surpassed expectations with ridiculous one-handed grabs and his route-running. During […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 120 (Current ADP: 141, TE: 13) ANALYSIS: We all know what Antonio "Old Man" Gates can do in the Charger's offense, but Ladarius Green is stealing all of the thunder in preseason fantasy talk. There's a good reason behind Green getting the majority of the attention as far as fantasy goes. When drafting in the […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 125 (Current ADP: 142, WR: 51) ANALYSIS: Much has been made of Steve Smith's departure from Carolina, but most of the discussion has revolved around how the Panther's will move forward without him. For the Ravens, the signing of Smith was essentially a delayed replacement of Anquan Boldin who was traded to San Francisco […]

A former first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans in 2009, Britt showed great promise in his first two seasons, totaling 84 catches for 1,476 yards […]

Four Catchers for the Final Stretch I wanted to take the time to follow up on some catchers who are poised to help in our shared quest to get to the promised land.
