Preseason Week 2: Fantasy Football Stock Rising and Falling

The Effect Jordy Nelson's Injury Has on Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, and the Rest of Green Bay

Davante Adams - Stock Up Adams is by far the biggest beneficiary of the Nelson injury. After coming out of Fresno State in the epic receiver class of 2014 and spending his rookie year eased into the #2 WR role, Davante Adams will finally get his opportunity to contribute as a starting receiver for Green...

Three Sneaky QB2 Options for Two-Quarterback Leagues

The two-quarterback format isn’t all that common just yet, but as the fantasy football community continues to grow, more and more settings will expand in popularity. Playing in a 2QB league format requires a different draft strategy, and we are here to help. Obviously if you play in a league that starts two quarterbacks, you... Read More

Davante Adams (WR, GB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft in Rounds 4-6 as WR3 with WR2 upside CURRENT ADP: 132 Standard, 99 PPR ANALYSIS: Ladies and gentleman, the average draft position of Davante Adams is about to skyrocket. With the injury news today of Jordy Nelson, who looks to have a torn ACL from the initial diagnosis, Davante Adams immediately becomes an even... Read More

Three Underrated Fantasy Quarterbacks for 2015

While it may be tempting to go after big names like Andrew Luck, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees or Peyton Manning, the draft price on these players will be very high. Investing a second-round pick in Luck or Rodgers may guarantee you 20+ points at the quarterback position most weeks, but it may also leave you without a... Read More

2015 NFL Rookie Rankings: Dynasty / Keeper League Draft Targets

While we already published our 2015 NFL rookie rankings for fantasy football in a few different segments, we thought it was time to revisit these rankings just a little bit as we are approaching the NFL season. This is not an knee jerk overreaction based on preseason news, just some basic accounting for injury news and the opportunities... Read More

Giants QB Eli Manning is an Easy Draft Steal

Eli Manning is currently ranked as the 12th best quarterback based on his ADP. He is being drafted behind the likes of Ryan Tannehill, Tom Brady, and Matt Ryan. Eli's draft position suggests he's just outside of most league's starting position but comes off the board as one of the first backup quarterbacks. Basically, Eli... Read More

Preseason Week 1: Three Position Battles That Were Affected

There is still a lot to be determined over the course of the preseason. There are several position battles to be played out that will affect fantasy relevant players.

Cole Beasley: The Next Valuable Slot

Fantasy-wise, Cole Beasley hasn’t really been what you call a looker. If Antonio Brown is the Irina Shayk of fantasy wide receivers, Cole Beasley is the three-week-old meat sculpture of Bea Arthur. Thirty-one wideouts had more yards last season than he’s had in his entire three year career. But Beasley finally found his role in... Read More

Ladarius Green (TE, SD) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in the mid to late rounds and pair with a more established TE for insurance. CURRENT ADP: 180 STD, 165 PPR ANALYSIS: Ladarius Green should benefit from the suspension of Antonio Gates with the potential to overtake the starting gig entirely. With Antonio Gates suspended for the first four games of the season, tight end Ladarius Green... Read More

A Sleeper You May Have Forgotten: Tight End Jordan Cameron

You know what can save your fantasy team? Getting an extra receiver. How do you get an extra receiver? Killing your tight end pick. Time for a new case for another sleeper. Jordan Cameron broke the hearts of fantasy owners about halfway through the season when it became abundantly clear that he was going to fall short of the expectations... Read More

Three Sleeper Defenses to Target

Like many of you reading this, my general strategy with defenses is to stream away based on matchups. It works well and because the elite defenses are drafted at such a premium that I can never justify taking them. For example, the Seahawks weren’t even the #1 fantasy defense last season (that was the Bills)... Read More

Brandon Bolden, His Fantasy Value, and the Patriots Third Down Role

There has been a lot of speculation on who will take over for Shane Vereen as the Patriots third down back. This speculation comes with good reason as Vereen was absolutely dominant as a backfield receiver at times during his run as the Patriots safety valve. For much of the offseason the fantasy attention has... Read More

More Sleeper Defenses for the 2015 Fantasy Season

New England Patriots First four matchups: PITT, @BUF, JAC, BYE, @ DAL Based on last year's numbers, the Patriots' 2015 defense will have at least five matchups against tough rushing attacks: the New York Jets twice, the Houston Texans, Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. Having Shady McCoy be part of the rival Bills' won't make... Read More

WR Victor Cruz Should Rebound in 2015

Victor Cruz has a 1500 yard season to his name. He has a 10 TD season to his name. He was THE feel good story of the league. He was the guy the burst on the scene out of the University of Massachusetts Amherst and never looked back...until last year. Two years ago Cruz was... Read More

TB WR Mike Evans Primed For a Bigger Year

Many would argue that outside of Odell Beckham, Jr., Mike Evans was the most impressive of the outstanding class of rookie wide receivers in 2014. While Beckham, Jr. received much of the hype for his circus catches and absurd yardage totals, Evans gave him a run for his money in touchdowns, hauling in 12 in... Read More

Allen Robinson (WR, JAX) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in the middle rounds as a WR3/flex play with WR2 upside. CURRENT ADP: 96 STD, 63 PPR ANALYSIS: After a season in which he was on pace for just under 1,000 receiving yards, Allen Robinson is poised to bounce back from his foot injury in an improving offense. The Jacksonville Jaguars have been... Read More

Fred Jackson (RB, BUF) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft as a handcuff or RB3/flex in late rounds CURRENT ADP: 112 STD, 93 PPR ANALYSIS: Fred Jackson has great value as a handcuff and has proven he can be fantasy relevant as a backup running back. Despite never being the clear number one back, Fred Jackson has topped 1,000 yards from scrimmage in... Read More

NYJ RB Chris Ivory: Potential Three-Down Back and Draft Steal?

Since joining the Jets in 2013, Chris Ivory has led the team in carries both years. That isn’t exactly saying a whole lot, as he failed to crack 200 carries in either season. That said, the Jets did bring in some real competition last year in former star Chris Johnson. This year the Jets have... Read More

Is ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald Bouncing Back in 2015?

While he’s been one of the most reliable and productive wide receivers of the last decade, many are writing off Larry Fitzgerald in 2015 for a variety of reasons. He’s old, the Cardinals have two young receivers in Michael Floyd and John Brown who will steal targets, he’s old, he has declined in the last... Read More

Jonathan Stewart: 2015 Fantasy Football Draft Value

Jonathan Stewart is the ultimate candidate for “what might have been” discussions. Since entering the league in 2008, Stewart has not started more than eight games in a season, thanks in large part to the presence of DeAngelo Williams. The two have cannibalized each other’s value for years, but with Williams now backing up Le’Veon... Read More

Five Wide Receivers Primed for More Touchdowns in 2015

Touchdowns can be a fickle thing. In 2010 Dwayne Bowe led all receivers with a whopping fifteen touchdowns. In four mostly full seasons since, he has had a combined thirteen scores. As I’m sure most of you remember, that included zero last year from him and the rest of the Kansas City wide receivers. Even... Read More

Reggie Bush (RB, SF) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds as a Flex Option or RB3. CURRENT ADP: 110 STD, 89 PPR ANALYSIS: Reggie Bush is a PPR beast who still has some playmaking ability left. If you're expecting to draft a running back who will get you 20-25 touches per game and flirt with 100 yards every week, pray you end... Read More

Three Overlooked Veteran Wide Receivers: Draft Values for 2015

People are quick to turn away from the stars of yesteryear in favor of the "huge upside" they see blooming out of the young receivers. Is that really the right thing to do? While other players in your league are making huge reaches on the likes of Brandin Cooks and Kelvin Benjamin, in hopes they... Read More

Running Back DeMarco Murray's 2015 Fantasy Outlook

I think DeMarco Murray took a long nap after the season.  436 carries and 61 catches (including postseason) takes a huge toll on the body.  That’s an average of 27.6 touches per game, and that’s not including all of his blocking assignments and routes run without a catch.  To put it in perspective, Murray totaled...
