Justice Hill's Handcuff Value Gets a Boost
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill enters Week 1 with a much cleaner path behind Derrick Henry.

Baltimore's own roster breakdown called Hill […]
A.J. Brown's WR1 Ceiling Is Back in Play
New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown has looked comfortable in his new offense from the start.

Wide Receiver Sleepers: Upside Value Picks
The wide receiver position seems to produce excellent values, and even a few league-winners in the later rounds of drafts or even among those wideouts who aren't drafted in most fantasy football leagues.

Patrick McGrath's Dark Horse RB1 Contenders
The term "dark horse" originated in 19th-century horse racing as a way to describe a contender of whom bettors or spectators knew very little. The 1800s.

James Cook III Set For More Passing Work To Reduce Rushing Workload
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III led the league last year in rushing with 1,621 rushing yards on 309 carries, but look for him this season to be more involved in the passing game and be more explosive overall.

Kayshon Boutte Could Step In as Texans' Second Receiver
Houston Texans wide receiver Kayshon Boutte landed in a great spot for his fantasy value to potentially take off this year.

With the team's offseason moves, though, Boutte was […]
Rashid Shaheed Ready for Larger Role
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed joined the team midseason last year in a trade from the Saints, and he immediately added a big-play threat to the offense and on special teams.

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. is expected to work in a timeshare this season in his team's backfield, but he could be in a smaller role than expected since his teammate Jordan Mason has been shining throughout preseason and training camp.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson should see an uptick in targets early this season as he helps to fill the void of wide receiver Jordyn Tyson (hamstring).
