Corey Coleman (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~105 CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: The Browns selected Coleman with the 15th overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft. Drawing physical comparisons to Odell Beckham Jr., Coleman suffered through a hard-luck rookie season that saw him miss six games, catch passes from a motley crew of retread sub-mediocre NFL QBs, and play second fiddle […]

Tyrell Williams (WR, LAC) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~83 CURRENT ADP: ~98 ANALYSIS: When the Chargers drafted Mike Williams in the first round of the 2017 draft it was like the fantasy world forgot yrell Williams existed. Coming off a 1059 yard, seven touchdown season, Tyrell Williams was being drafted like just another guy. When Mike Williams had issues with his back and […]

Zay Jones (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~107 CURRENT ADP: ~132 ANALYSIS: The Buffalo Bills have had a topsy turvy off-season when it comes to their wide receiver corps. Anquan Boldin in, Sammy Watkins out. Then Anquan Boldin out, Jordan Matthews in. Or something like that. It took some note tracking but we know what the two-man show is in Buffalo; Zay Jones and Jordan Matthews. Considering […]

Eric Decker (WR, TEN) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~75 CURRENT ADP: ~95 ANALYSIS: Decker had managed at least 900 yards in four consecutive seasons before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 3 of 2016. He has caught a touchdown in 14 of his last 18 games played since the start of the 2015 season, and all of those scores came […]

Jeremy Maclin (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~75 CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: In his first year with the Chiefs in 2015, Maclin posted a respectable 87 catch, 1,008 yard, 8 touchdown season. However, 2016 was a disappointing season marred by injuries that saw him play just 12 games and total just 536 yards. Thankfully for him, and fantasy owners, the […]

Jamaal Charles (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~140 CURRENT ADP: ~160 ANALYSIS: I took the once-first round talent Jamaal Charles in the 13th round of a 12-team PPR league last night, and I had to go take a bath afterwards because I felt so dirty. I won't lie, I probably wouldn't have made the pick if Charles hadn't gone out and gained […]

Darren Sproles (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football PPR Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110 CURRENT ADP: ~130 ANALYSIS: What if someone told you there was a running back who over the last eight seasons has never had less than 700 total yards, never had less than 40 receptions, and only had less than four touchdowns once? And you could draft him in the 11th round of […]

Shane Vereen (RB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 CURRENT ADP: ~175 ANALYSIS: The Giants haven't had any semblance of a reliable rushing attack since Ahmad Bradshaw headed off to Indianapolis back in 2013. Since then, it's been a motley crew along the way. There's a ton of hype regarding sophomore RB Paul Perkins, all of which is understandable. Still, Vereen shouldn't […]

Doug Martin (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~65 CURRENT ADP: ~80 ANALYSIS: I'm all about the "take the suspended/injured guy and just try to make it to the playoffs" approach. Just look at how many times I've drafted Le'Veon Bell in the past three years. Yes, Doug Martin is suspended for three games, and that's not the only hurdle he'll have to clear in […]

Paul Perkins (RB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~68 CURRENT ADP: ~83 ANALYSIS: Somewhere between the beginning of last season and now, Paul Perkins has become the running back with a great opportunity without a dynamite skillset. That confuses me, because we talked about this 2016 rookie and his pass-catching prowess like it was nothing we had ever seen before. I understand this […]

Danny Woodhead (RB, BAL) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~54 CURRENT ADP: ~67 ANALYSIS: Obviously, health is a big concern for the pass-catching back Woodhead. He ended his season early last year and is dealing with hamstring issues this preseason. Currently he and the Ravens hope he'll be available for Week 1, but there is a chance he starts out the year on […]

Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~130 CURRENT ADP: ~145 ANALYSIS: Andy Dalton was performing at an MVP caliber level in 2015 before a broken thumb derailed a top eight fantasy quarterback finish. Despite throwing for fewer touchdowns passes in 16 games, he still proved to be a decent option as the QB-12 last season for streaming in favorable matchups. […]

Carson Wentz (QB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~135 CURRENT ADP: ~150 ANALYSIS: Carson Wentz had an impressive rookie campaign despite tailing off near the end of 2016, completing 62 percent of his passes for 3,782 yards and 16 touchdowns to 14 interceptions. I had originally been a doubter when it comes to the chances of Wentz being fantasy relevant in year […]

Matthew Stafford (QB, DET) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~105 CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: I think a lot of people are underestimating how good Matthew Stafford was in 2016. He finished as the QB-7 despite a noticeable drop-off in production when he played through a dislocated middle finger for the final four games of the season. In the games prior to suffering the injury, […]

Phillip Rivers (QB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~103 CURRENT ADP: ~121 ANALYSIS: If we take a look at Philip Rivers’ fantasy finishes over the last three seasons, it seems as if he has been unremarkable at best. He finished as QB-10, QB-12, and QB-14 from 2014 to 2016, with him having thrown for the second most interceptions in the NFL last season […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~75 CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: When I first went to fantasyfootballcalculator.com to check ADPs, the name that jumped out at me the most was Kirk Cousins. Despite his draft day price steadily increasing from the 10th round in early August to the mid-ninth today, he currently ranks as the QB9 behind Derek Carr, Russell Wilson, and Jameis […]

Jordan Matthews (WR, BUF) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~88 CURRENT ADP: ~118 ANALYSIS: With the departures of Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, and Marquise Goodwin, there are currently around 250 targets up for grabs in the Bills passing game. Matthews scored eight TD in both of his first two seasons in the NFL, and has reached 800 Rec Yds in all three seasons. Tyrod Taylor was fantastic in […]
