Derrius Guice (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~65 Overall Current ADP: ~75 ANALYSIS: Derrius Guice is a player that most viewed as a potential RB1 before he tore his ACL during training camp last season. Guice came out of LSU as an afterthought behind current Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette. However, he was viewed as the more complete threat […]

James White (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~50 Overall Current ADP: ~60 ANALYSIS: James White makes the cut with and ADP around 60 right now. The fact that he continues to be drafted so late is a testament to how slept on he is as a running back in fantasy football. Last year, he finished sixth in PPR scoring […]

Christian Kirk (WR, ARI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall Current ADP: ~85 Christian Kirk generated nearly 3,000 receiving yards during his three years at Texas A&M (2,856) while averaging 78 receptions and 8.6 touchdowns-per-season during his collegiate career. That provided the motivation for Arizona to deploy the 47th overall pick on Kirk during the 2018 NFL draft. Kirk's […]

Courtland Sutton (WR, DEN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall Current ADP: ~70 Denver’s projected distribution of targets among its arsenal of wide receivers is more nebulous than the majority of franchises. The 6’4”, 216-pound Courtland Sutton enters his second season with an opportunity to seize the Broncos’ WR1 responsibilities. His primary competition for targets appeared to reside with fellow […]

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall Current ADP: ~155 ANALYSIS: We've grown accustomed to hearing about theEzekiel Elliott and Melvin Gordon contract situations. While the latter looked like a good threat to miss a big chunk of the season, the Zeke didn't. Turns out Elliott wants to join Gordon's exile party now and extend his holdout […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, NYJ) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~170 Jamison Crowder is currently the WR55 in RotoBaller's PPR rankings.

Randall Cobb (WR, DAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall Current ADP: ~240 We're a little bit separated from Randall Cobb's best season, which came in 2014. Back then he was able to catch 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns and finished the year as the WR6 in PPR leagues rivaling the likes of Odell Beckham and Julio […]

Devin Funchess (WR, IND) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

I have to admit that my relationship with Devin Funchess in fantasy terms is one of love and hate. I can't help but see a player with a lot of upside being totally overlooked on average by every owner out there. At the same time, there are some glaring concerns in his game that can […]

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

As the beginning of the NFL season draws near, there are still some unresolved playing time situations around the league. One of those can be found in the backfield of the Los Angeles Chargers. As everyone knows by now, star running back Melvin Gordon has held out the entire preseason in hopes of securing a […]

Gus Edwards (RB, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

In 2019, the expectations are high for the Baltimore Ravens as they finished 2018 with 2,441 rushing yards, which was good for second in the league. Averaged out, this came to just over 150 rushing yards per game. This is very impressive considering the backfield seemed to be in constant flux, and Lamar Jackson did […]

Derek Carr (QB, OAK) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

You can convince me about drafting a top-tier running back inside the first four or five picks; we're talking about true game-changers there. You can convince me about drafting a top-tier wide receiver from picks five to 15; there are just a few elite-wideouts available, after all. But will you never convince me of getting […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

A grand total of 33 running backs have been drafted inside the first three rounds of the NFL draft from 2015 to 2018. We've come to know the likes of David Johnson, Ezekiel Elliott, Alvin Kamara, and Saquon Barkley among many other great rushers. As you see, there have been a lot of hits between […]

Terry McLaurin (WR, WAS) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target With Final Pick In Draft Current ADP: ~310 I am a professional sports bettor, which sometimes gets a negative connotation from those who don't understand what I do. The general public would consider my job as a luck-based activity that presents potential dangers and pitfalls, but I would describe my profession in […]

Greg Olsen (TE, CAR) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall Current ADP: ~140 Olsen is an NFL veteran, and lately he's been a fragile one. In both 2017 and 2018, he only played in seven and nine games respectively. I have always valued him quite high (injuries or not), and he ranked 9th in DVOA when on the field […]

Philip Rivers (QB, LAC) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~130 For the wait-on-quarterback crowd, Philip Rivers is the embodiment of why it's perfectly fine to be one of the last people in your league to draft a QB. I continue to be amazed by how undervalued he is from year to year. His "worst" season in […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall Current ADP: ~145 In 2018, Kirk Cousins finished as the fantasy QB13, which is just at the edge of the QB1 tier. So why did Fantasy Football Twitter collectively decide that Cousins was a complete bust last season? Well, Cousins had gotten a lot of hype behind him when he went to Minnesota. […]

Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall Current ADP: ~190 One player that is getting hardly any love this year in drafts, is Tre'Quan Smith, the second-year wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are one of the most prolific passing teams in the NFL, and Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara can't get all of the targets. In […]

Jamison Crowder (WR, NYJ) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~135 Overall Current ADP: ~150 Coming over from Washington after an injury-marred 2018 campaign, Crowder can be described as a route technician out of the slot and has the ability to be an asset to fantasy owners in Jet green. Having played in 47 out of his first 48 games in […]

Anthony Miller (WR, CHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~135 It is rare that you can get a late-round wide receiver with the talent to jump to the top of his team's depth chart. The player who currently sits atop the Chicago Bears pecking order, Allen Robinson, is three years removed from his "breakout season" without […]

Mark Andrews (TE, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~155 Not only is Andrews a tight end from a team that will feature a scrambling demon at the quarterback position,  a nice new running back in Mark Ingram, and that as a unit was the most run-heavy team during the second half of the last season. He's […]

T.J. Hockenson (TE, DET) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall Current ADP: ~160 There is a chance you find Hockenson available for free at the end of your league's draft. He's currently at the verge of dropping to a consensus Round-15 ADP spot. The risk is obvious, and the ADP shows. Even as a rookie tight end, and if […]

Sam Darnold (QB, NYJ) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The New York Jets and quarterback Sam Darnold enter 2019 expecting to improve upon their 4-12 record from a season ago. To achieve this, they have brought in free-agent running back Le'Veon Bell and former Miami Dolphins Head Coach Adam Gase. The Jets feel that adding these two pieces should significantly improve their offense, which finished […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick (QB, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

What we enjoyed in Tampa Bay just last year with the Winston-Fitz pair we will enjoy in Miami with Fitzpatrick joining Josh Rosen. Prepare for some fireworks, because they are coming. To call Ryan Fitzpatrick a sleeper is falling short. Fitzpatrick is more akin to your sleeper's favorite sleeper if anything at all. Let me […]

2019 IDP Draft Sleepers

I've been playing in IDP leagues for the last couple of years, but I've never ventured into the world of writing about IDP leagues. But one goal I have as a fantasy analyst is to expand my horizon a little each year, and this year that goal is to write some about IDP leagues. To […]

Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Miami Dolphins are going through a lot of change heading into 2019. They released former quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Frank Gore, and head coach Adam Gase. They have also notably brought in two new quarterbacks in Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, and welcome a rookie head coach in Brian Flores. One thing that […]

Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Heading into the 2019 season, a lot of hype surrounds the Cleveland Browns. Most of this hype revolves around second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield and his likely progression from a season ago, as well as the recent addition of Odell Beckham Jr. to the roster. The Browns finished 2018 with a record of 7-8-1, which was good […]

Donte Moncrief (WR, PIT) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Donte Moncrief signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason and immediately jumped onto the fantasy football radar. He spent the 2018 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending the first four years of his career as a member of the Indianapolis Colts, the team who drafted him. Wide receiver is easily the deepest position […]
