Jesse James (TE, PIT) - 2017 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Pittsburgh tight end situation just hasn’t been the same since longtime Steeler Heath Miller announced his retirement in the winter of 2016.

Players Who Should Be Prioritized in PPR, but Faded in Standard Leagues

PPR is one of the more intriguing fantasy formats, as it rewards players more for real-life value.

Before profiling C.J. Prosise as a fantasy football sleeper for 2017, it is important to note that I'm approaching this from a PPR position. CJ Prosise is far less valuable in standard leagues. In standard leagues, I just wouldn't draft any Seattle running back. In PPR leagues, Prosise is the guy I want not just […]
