Tyjae Spears (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you saw anything regarding the Week 1 Titans on social media, it was probably how Tyjae Spears out-snapped Derrick Henry, 34 to 30. Henry had 15 carries to Spears’ three, but Spears had four targets to Henry’s three with double the […]


Roschon Johnson (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Roschon Johnson was a bright spot in Chicago’s defeat, totaling 55 yards and a score on 11 touches. Khalil Herbert still led with 12 (nine carries, three catches), but Johnson nabbed the TD and led the passing work with six receptions on seven […]


Rashee Rice (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Thursday Night Football feels like eons ago, but you’ll recall Rashee Rice caught 3-of-5 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown while Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore looked horrendous. The Chiefs need a wide receiver or two to step up as a reliable option alongside Travis Kelce, […]

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 […]

Many drafters spend prep time on their early picks and then reflexively take familiar names late, but they rarely deliver championships. Instead, let’s discuss some late-round fliers at running back, wide receiver, and tight end that are worth taking due to their upside, but that you won’t feel handcuffed to should there be a red-hot […]

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 […]
