Why Ameer Abdullah is a Big Sleeper Running Back for 2015

It was no surprise that the Detroit Lions allowed Reggie Bush to walk in free agency. Joique Bell did the heavy duty work and Theo Riddick proved himself just as effective in the passing game, averaging 5 catches for 53 yards in the 5 games that Bush missed. Despite having Bell and Riddick around, the […]

Running Back Sleepers You Need to Know in 2015

Is there any position in fantasy where a sleeper pays off more than at running back? While all your league-mates are scrambling to reach and overpay for their first and second running back, those who employ more value based draft strategies feed off of their leagues impatience and are rewarded with strong players at both wide receiver […]

Deep Sleeper: Tampa Bay Tight End Austin Seferian-Jenkins

As a rookie, Austin Seferian-Jenkins (ASJ for short) didn’t do a whole lot, but that shouldn’t surprise you. Tight ends are notorious for taking 2-3 years to start putting up relevant fantasy numbers. In the last five years we’ve only seen five rookie tight ends surpass the 500 yard mark and none had more than Tim […]

2015 Deep PPR Sleeper: Browns WR Andrew Hawkins

I’ll start this by saying that Andrew Hawkins is definitely exclusive to deeper leagues and PPR leagues. He provides some sneaky value and showed that last year right up to the point that target-hog Josh Gordon and poor excuse for a football player Johnny Manziel sapped his late season value. Prior to that, the 5’7” […]

Is Mike Wallace Ready to Return to WR1 Status in 2015?

People don’t like to use Mike Wallace’s time spent in Pittsburgh as a tool to project his first year with the Minnesota Vikings for the upcoming season and that’s totally fair—it was a while ago after all. Wallace last played for the Steelers in the 2012 season, catching 64 passes and eight touchdowns. He played […]

Three Sleeper Tight Ends to Target in Deeper Leagues

If you find yourself in a 14+ team league, or in a TE premium league (start 2 TEs or give 1.5 PPR to TEs only) it looks like a good year to wait on the position in the draft. There are a lot of guys outside the top ten which offer plenty of upside. If […]

Tight End Zach Ertz, the Post-Hype Sleeper of 2015

2014 was a rough year for breakout tight ends.  Zach Ertz, Jordan Cameron, Charles Clay, Tyler Eifert, Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis, Kyle Rudolph, Dennis Pitta, Ladarius Green and more failed to reach their preseason expectations, whether it was due to poor play, injury, or a lack of talent around them. Ertz himself is an interesting […]

Why You Should Target RB Joseph Randle in 2015

With the sweet smell of Fantasy Football in the midsummer air, it's about time for us fantasy heads to lead you all in the right direction. While everyone knows you cannot win the league at the draft, you sure can lose it. So we're here for the rest of the summer to let you know […]

Is Eli Manning Ready to Become an Elite Fantasy QB in 2015?

While Eli Manning is criminally underrated year after year, you should be smarter than to pass on Eli in 2015. The stage is set for Eli to post top-5 QB numbers and Eli has never floundered on a big stage. If your interpretation of Eli’s fantasy value is still dictated by his 27-interception campaign, perhaps […]

Mike Wallace is an Undervalued Wide Receiver in 2015

When Mike Wallace was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, I didn’t see this as a negative. Apparently I am in the minority here as Wallace’s ADP sits outside the top 30 wide receivers at WR31. Most FantasyPros experts like him even less with two thirds of all experts ranking him worse than his ADP! Keep […]

Why Falcons Wide Receiver Julio Jones is the #1 Wide Receiver in 2015

Atlanta Falcons' receiver Julio Jones is one of the most interesting players to analyze in upcoming fantasy drafts. With a double digit TD season, two thousand yard season (including a 1500 yarder), and a 100 catch season to his name, Jones has accomplished quite a bit in the NFL before his 26th birthday. Most people […]

Why Titans Running Back David Cobb is an Undervalued Sleeper in 2015

In the ultra-competitive world of fantasy football, everyone is always looking for an edge up on every team. Seeing that everybody is obsessed with finding the perfect sleeper, it is only fitting that every fantasy football fanatic collectively take a good long look at Tennessee Titans rookie running back David Cobb. Despite rushing for the eleventh-most […]

BALLER MOVE: Target in the mid to late rounds as a WR3, with the potential to be Top-20 again. CURRENT ADP: 94 STD, 78 PPR ANALYSIS: After a top-20 season in 2014, Steve Smith is the clear No. 1 receiver in Baltimore and is poised for a repeat.Be sure to check all of our fantasy […]

Depth Chart Battles: The New York Giants Running Backs

Check out our full Running Back Depth Charts here. As has been the case during most of Tom Coughlin’s tenure in New York, this year’s Giants team enters the season with a committee at running back. Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen, and Andre Williams will all be looking to get as many touches as possible in […]

Can Vikings Tight End Kyle Rudolph Be Your Sleeper TE in 2015?

In most fantasy football leagues, managers only need to draft one tight end. Something tells me I’m going to struggle when deciding which one to target. Since writing a recent article on Travis Kelce and how he should continue to improve this year, I’ve found that I’m also in love with Kyle Rudolph. Not only […]

Arizona Cardinals: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

The Arizona Cardinals made an expected leap within in the NFC in the 2014 season. Unfortunately, injuries just hammered the roster resulting in the Cardinals going out with a whimper rather than a bang. There’s reason for optimism, however, as the team should be healthier heading into 2015. A clean bill of health might be […]

Why Redskins WR Pierre Garcon Will Bounce Back in 2015

After a disappointing 2014 season, Pierre Garcon's draft day value will likely take a substantial hit. This could be good news for savvy fantasy owners who will likely be able to nab him in the later rounds and get a wide receiver with some upside for cheap. Let's be realistic, he won't duplicate his breakout […]

Why A.J. Green Is Still An Elite WR1 And A Draft Steal

A.J. Green is in my list of tier one receivers. For me it’s not even a question, Green is elite and deserves to be in there. I will acknowledge that my list of tier one receivers is deeper than it’s ever been this year at eight, and he’s definitely in the lower half of those […]

The Rise and (Continuing) Fall of Percy Harvin

There was a time that many football fans fervently believed that Percy Harvin was destined to become one of the most dynamic, dangerous weapons in the league. The idea hardly seemed crazy, as Harvin was a young wide receiver who possessed a unique skill-set that made him a threat to break off a monster play […]

Why Bengals Running Back Jeremy Hill is Undervalued in 2015

Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill had a fantastic rookie season. As a result, he is being drafted in the mid-2nd to early-3rd range in early mock drafts. That seems like a pretty fair ADP for a guy with just 16 games of experience and even fewer as a starter. He’s already being drafted ahead of […]

Why Kenny Stills is a Big Time Sleeper in 2015

Kenny Stills was just 22 last year but managed an impressive season. According to Pro Football Focus he ranked third in the league in catch percentage (minimum 50 receptions). His 14.8 yards per reception was the most of anyone with at least a 70% catch rate. The only other players that had at least 14 yards […]

Where Should You Draft WR Golden Tate in 2015?

Labeled as a strong breakout candidate prior to the 2014 fantasy football season, Golden Tate did not disappoint. The 26-year-old former Seahawk flourished in his first season with the Detroit Lions, amassing 1331 receiving yards and 4 TD while adding another 30 yards on the ground. Those numbers were good enough to make him the […]

Sam Bradford is Poised for a Career Year in 2015

Sam Bradford is poised for a career year in the City of Brotherly Love under a head coach that loves to maximize his quarterback’s potential. The Oklahoma University product was drafted five years ago as the first overall pick in 2010 and was set to be the franchise quarterback of the St. Louis Rams. His […]

Why Saints Running Back Mark Ingram Can Be Your Next RB1

The only surprising thing about Mark Ingram breaking out last year as one of the better running backs in the league is that it didn’t happen until his fourth season. Going all the way back to his days at Alabama, Ingram showed himself to be a talented runner who could rise to the top echelon if he […]

Don't You Sleep on Bengals Wide Receiver Marvin Jones in 2015

You may recall that heading into 2014 there was a considerable amount of hype for Marvin Jones. It was hard not to like Jones coming off a 51-712-10 line highlighted by an 8 catch, 122 yard, 4 touchdown performance against the Jets at the young age of 23. Jones also impressed with 8 receptions for […]

What To Expect from Miami's Jarvis Landry in 2015

2014 exceeded expectations for Landry by almost all accounts, but it also left a lot to be desired for his future outlook. At 5’11 and 200 pounds, Landry isn’t much of a downfield threat with a forty time in the 4.7 range and his small body frame, but he made up for his body limitations […]

Why Travis Kelce Will Be The Next Great Fantasy Tight End

Those who were big into fantasy football analysis this time last year heard far-off whispers that Travis Kelce might be the next big tight end to make a fantasy impact. This year, those whispers have turned into full-on roars from the tops of tall buildings. Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob […]

Expected to Continue Improving in 2015: WR Charles Johnson

During the 2014 NFL season Charles Johnson was one of the most under-the-radar players in the entire league. While he was promisingly productive during the final half of the season, most fantasy football fans likely don’t know much, if anything, about Charles Johnson. Editor’s Note: If you’re looking for a new, awesome, highly customizable and […]

St. Louis Rams' WR Brian Quick Approaches His Breakout Year

Brian Quick was on his way to surpassing his career totals in one season before a devastating shoulder injury on October 26th put the fourth year wide receiver’s production on hold. Quick was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff and a separated left shoulder and has “realistic” shot to play in Week 1 this season according […]
