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.

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.

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 […]
