Nick Mariano's PPR Draft Sleepers List for Fantasy Football - Samaje Perine, Rashee Rice, Jayden Reed, Tyjae Spears, more

The term "Sleeper" is thrown around more haphazardly than a Mitchell Trubisky out route, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the article. In my mind, we need to head outside of the […]

Nick Mariano's Late-Round Fliers for Fantasy Football Drafts - De'Von Achane, Rashid Shaheed, Jake Ferguson, more

Many drafters spend prep time on their early picks and then reflexively take familiar names late, but they rarely deliver championships.

2023 Draft Sleepers List for Fantasy Football Drafts - Anthony Richardson, Jerome Ford, Nico Collins, more

Sleeper is a term that's become almost mythical these days. It can mean 10 different things to 10 different people. We each need to define it, as a "sleeper" to a 10-team drafter will be obvious to someone prepping for a 14-teamer. I'll try to dig beyond the top-12 QB/TE choices, as well as the […]

Early-Round Overvalued Picks for 2023 Fantasy Football Drafts - Justin Herbert, Najee Harris, George Kittle, more

Writing about sleepers and positive outcomes is lovely, but it can't all be sunshine, rainbows, and the hype that was promised. All those picks are squandered if you crush yourself with overvalued players in the early rounds. We'll be looking at each position, identifying who I think will underperform their draft-day cost and fail to […]

Chase Claypool (WR, CHI): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~196 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~235 ANALYSIS: The Bears traded the eventual 32nd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft for Chase Claypool just last year, which (hopefully) hints at a larger vision for the versatile threat. Not only did he top 850 receiving yards in his first two seasons, but he’d chipped […]

Irv Smith Jr. (TE, CIN): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~198 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~210 ANALYSIS:  Many of y’all are acting like you forgot about Irv Smith Jr. I can see why, as the 6’2” TE tore his meniscus in the 2021 preseason and missed the entire campaign. Then he required thumb surgery in August 2022 and barely played in Week […]

Cordarrelle Patterson (RB, ATL): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~190 ANALYSIS:  Close your eyes and remember how last season Cordarrelle Patterson had 136 total yards in Week 1 and 153 in Week 3 before a Week 4 injury ruined the party. Bijan Robinson is an obvious stud but this means Patterson can go back to handling […]

Rashid Shaheed (WR, NO): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~162 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~236 ANALYSIS:  Shaheed made waves with a 44-yard TD in his NFL debut during a Week 6 loss to the Bengals. He followed that up with a 53-yard TD catch in Week 7 as we started to wonder whether he was simply a big-play trick or if there […]
