David Njoku (TE, CLE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~105 CURRENT ADP: ~120 ANALYSIS: Cleveland appeared to have an abundance of options at the wide receiver position earlier in the offseason. But Josh Gordon's ambiguous situation, and the decision to jettison Corey Coleman, have altered that landscape. Jarvis Landry can now be expected to confiscate a massive number of targets, and Gordon […]

Latavius Murray (RB, MIN) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~115 CURRENT ADP: ~130 ANALYSIS: Potential owners should strongly consider Murray among their late-round options, as his credentials as a former 1,000-yard rusher (2015: 1,066 yards), combined with his track record of reliability as a goal line option to provide evidence that he can deliver favorable production when he is given the opportunity. […]

Dede Westbrook (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~140 CURRENT ADP: ~170 ANALYSIS: Westbrook made the most of his limited opportunities last season. With no Allen Hurns or Allen Robinson on the field, Westbrook stepped up and became one of Bortles' go-to guys. Now with Hurns and Robinson gone, and the injury to Marqise Lee, Westbrook has the chance to shine all […]

Philip Rivers (QB, LAC) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers had his most efficient season in years, posting his best adjusted net yards per attempt since 2013. A fully healthy season from Keenan Allen allowed Rivers to capitalize on the slot receiver’s short routes as well as throw the ball downfield; he finished with the fourth-most […]

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~150 CURRENT ADP: ~160 ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate has a split outlook between those who believe he will be a bust and those expecting another very productive season. The reason for the bust tag is the presence of fellow tight end O.J. Howard, who finished his rookie season opposite Brate with […]

Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Rookie Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~155 CURRENT ADP: ~185 ANALYSIS: Once your draft has advanced beyond Round 13, you will encounter a plethora of options that may look remarkably similar in value. But these choices should not be underestimated, because players that you choose from that point forward could bolster your team’s point totals during the season, and conceivably […]

DeSean Jackson (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football PPR Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~150 in PPR Leagues CURRENT ADP: ~170 ANALYSIS: The drop in production we saw from DeSean Jackson last season was huge. In just 10 fewer targets and six fewer receptions, Jackson had 337 fewer yards and averaged a career-low in yards per reception. Some of that is likely due to Jackson losing a step […]

Keelan Cole (WR, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 CURRENT ADP: ~160 ANALYSIS: Marqise Lee has been ruled out for the season, leaving the Jags without their top returning receiver. Keelan Cole was already the other wide receiver to own on this team, and he now gets a big bump and should see his ADP rise. Dede Westbrook and Donte Moncrief appear to […]

Chris Carson (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~70 CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: Chris Carson looked great in his short time on the field last year, and despite running behind one of the worst offensive lines averaged 4.2 yards per carry. He also caught seven of his eight targets while averaging 14.8 yards per catch. Rookie Rashaad Penny is dealing with a […]

Giovani Bernard (RB, CIN) - Fantasy Football PPR Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 CURRENT ADP: ~150 ANALYSIS: Why doesn’t Giovani Bernard get any love? In 2017, in games that only he and Mixon played (no Jeremy Hill), he averaged 11.33 fantasy points per game putting him at a solid flex level. However, in the two games Mixon missed, plus the Week 15 game when he […]

Corey Clement (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 CURRENT ADP: ~136 ANALYSIS: Clement is probably best known for his Super Bowl touchdown catch that helped the Eagles to their first championship, but what was lost in his rookie season was how good he was on limited touches. According to Warren Sharp of SharpFootball, Clement was the Eagles #1 player in […]

Rex Burkhead (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~60 CURRENT ADP: ~75 ANALYSIS: Rex Burkhead is the prototypical mid-round draft target, especially in PPR leagues. He has standalone value even if we assume that Sony Michel eventually takes the starting role, and has tremendous upside should something happen to Michel. While James White will always be involved, it's expected that Burkhead will […]

Marlon Mack (RB, IND) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~80 CURRENT ADP: ~95 ANALYSIS: After being hyped considerably as a rookie, Marlon Mack acted as a complementary option to veteran Frank Gore for the majority of the 2017 season. With Gore moving on to the Miami Dolphins, the backfield has been Mack's to lose as he's competed against Nyheim Hines, Robert Turbin […]

Marshawn Lynch (RB, OAK) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~55 CURRENT ADP: ~61 ANALYSIS: Don’t let the training camp reports of new head coach Jon Gruden wanting to feature Doug Martin scare you off from drafting Lynch. Despite these reports, it seems crazy that Lynch would not be the starter Week 1. He is the perfect Gruden-type back and showed signs of […]

Phillip Dorsett (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~150 CURRENT ADP: ~270 ANALYSIS: At the start of 2017, Dorsett was traded to the Patriots in exchange for Jacoby Brissett. Colts clearly won this trade as Brissett kept the team respectable, even with a terrible record, and Dorsett sat behind a lot of other players until injuries opened up playing time but without […]

Kerryon Johnson (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target ~55 CURRENT ADP: ~63 ANALYSIS: The Detroit Lions selected running back Kerryon Johnson with the 11th pick of the second round, making him the fourth running back selected after Saquon Barkley, Rashaad Penny, and Sony Michel. Johnson had a solid three years as an Auburn Tiger, rushing for over 2,400 yards at 4.8 yards per carry […]

Royce Freeman (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Draft Targets

BALLER MOVE: Target ~40 CURRENT ADP: ~45 ANALYSIS: Make no mistake, the Denver Broncos drafted Royce Freeman with the seventh pick of the third round with the vision of him taking hold of the starting role as the team’s primary running back. At 6’ and 235 pounds, he is a bruising back who playerprofiler.com feels best […]
