D'Andre Swift - Worth the Gamble?

Today's fantasy football profile will take a look at second-year running back D'Andre Swift of the Detroit Lions by looking at his positives, his concerns, and a variety of other important information in determining his fantasy outlook for 2021. Swift has been a difficult player to assess because of the injuries last season and throughout […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, HOU) - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~106 ANALYSIS: Cooks is the ultimate trailblazer. He played three years for the Saints, one for the Pats, two for the Rams, and last season, he donned Texans threads for the first time in his career. He barely misses time (three games in the past six seasons) […]

Austin Ekeler - The RB King Of Pass-Catching

Today's fantasy football profile will take a look at running back Austin Ekeler of the Los Angeles Chargers by looking at his positives, his concerns, and a variety of other important information in determining his fantasy outlook for 2021. Ekeler is a player who is pretty polarizing in the fantasy community because he doesn't have the […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/31/21): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

Big night of WNBA action on Tuesday, as we've got four games on the docket. Chicago vs. Phoenix to close the night is the big one, but plenty of intrigue in the early games as well, including the Sun facing the Mystics in what should be a good one. In this article, I'll be providing […]

Cooper Kupp (WR, LAR) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~50 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~60 ANALYSIS: Cooper Kupp is one of this year’s premier bounce-back candidates. He and the rest of the Rams’ offense will enjoy the upgrade to gunslinger Matthew Stafford from the worst version yet of dink-and-dunk king Jared Goff. The 28-year-old is also feeling fine after being slowed in 2020 by knee bursitis. Kupp caught 92 balls […]

Trey Lance (QB, SF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~137 ANALYSIS: The San Fransisco 49ers gave up a ton of assets to move up to the third pick in the 2021 draft to select quarterback Trey Lance out of North Dakota State. There will be competition for the starting job between Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, but it seems that the […]

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~164 ANALYSIS: When the Seattle Seahawks drafted running back Rashaad Penny in the first round of the 2018 draft, there were high expectations for the former San Diego State standout. Significant injuries and the emergence of Chris Carson led Penny to start off his career in a very underwhelming fashion. […]

David Johnson (RB, HOU) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: Not only did the Texans lose their starting QB with Deshaun Watson--not confirmed, but most probably--missing the whole 2021 season and probably getting traded, but they doubled down on that misery by signing two RBs to build a three-headed-monster backfield. To David Johnson, they added Phillip Lindsay and Mark Ingram […]

Zack Moss (RB, BUF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~101 ANALYSIS: Bills Beat Writer for The Athletic, Joe Buscaglia, believes that "if he continues to improve, [Zack Moss] could be a 60 to 70 percent snap player in 2021." He only eclipsed a 60% snap share twice his rookie season, but that's likely a result of a […]

Kenyan Drake (RB, LV) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~103 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas has a promising tailback in Josh Jacobs. In both his freshman and sophomore seasons, Jacobs was able to finish at least as the RB21 and that happened in his first year as a pro. Last time out, though, Jacobs excelled to greater levels and put […]

James Conner (RB, ARI) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~93 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~103 ANALYSIS: Conner leaves Pittsburgh after spending the past four seasons there and coming virtually out of nowhere to turn into a fantastic tailback for the Steelers in years past. While he has not been the healthiest of players out there (he has missed 14 games in his […]

Antonio Brown (WR, TB) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~120 ANALYSIS: After joining Tampa Bay in 2020, Antonio Brown posted a 45-483-4 line over eight games. Doubling that puts his 2021 numbers at 90-966-8, plenty respectable for a fantasy 10th-rounder. OK, perhaps this simplistic projection shows why I never got past Algebra II in high school. Extrapolations […]

Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~144 ANALYSIS: Even with the addition of Emmanuel Sanders and with Gabriel Davis seemingly taking on a heavier role, PFF still projects Beasley to rack up the second-most PPR points in Buffalo, only behind Stefon Diggs with a 198+ FP projection. He hasn't had an ADP above 145 dating back to his debut all the […]

Elijah Moore (WR, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~142 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~157 ANALYSIS: The Jets' highly-touted second-round pick out of Ole Miss has impressed in camp and has seemingly vaulted Denzel Mims and potentially even Keelan Cole on the depth chart. He's working with the first-team offense now; Jets beat writers are all worked up, and head coach Robert Saleh […]

Henry Ruggs III (WR, LV) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~129 ANALYSIS: Henry Ruggs III is ready to take on a bigger role in his sophomore year, and the Raiders will need him to do exactly that. Nelson Agholor's departure leaves 82 vacated targets in the Las Vegas offense, and now he only has Bryan Edwards, Hunter Renfrow, John Brown as his […]

Eric Ebron (TE, PIT) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~194 ANALYSIS: A TE1 getting off draft boards at a TE3 price? I'll take two! That's Eric Ebron for you, folks, and that also is a nonsensical thing taking place in the summer of the 2021 year of our Lord. Simply put - Ebron's price is way down […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~155 Overall (PPR) CURRENT ADP: ~184 ANALYSIS: Last year was Shepard's best in terms of efficiency with a 9.94 YPR mark to go with a career-high 73.3% Catch Rate while putting up a 90/66/656/3 receiving yard line to go with 49 yards and a single touchdown on the ground to put the […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~141 ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker gets a bad rap. His career has been quite tumultuous with injuries and underperformances but he finally showed life in 2019 with a high-end WR2 season, averaging 15.4 PPG and finishing as the WR11 overall! Parker displayed his upside in this season and then […]

Trey Sermon (RB, SF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~101 ANALYSIS: The best case for Sermon boils down to one name: Jeff Wilson Jr. He was an undrafted free agent out of North Texas who rarely played his first two seasons. Once the Niners were thin at running back late in the season, they threw Wilson out there and […]

Bryan Edwards (WR, LV) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~225 ANALYSIS: Is he a Dragon Ball Z fused concoction of Terrell Owens and Randy Moss? No. However, Bryan Edwards is talented and the training camp hype going his way is somewhat legitimate. Edwards is constantly propped up by his extremely early (17.8 years old) breakout age (a […]

Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~135 ANALYSIS: Remove tight end teammate Gerald Everett from the target mix and swap in quarterback Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff. All of a sudden, Tyler Higbee just might become something resembling the monster averaging 21.4 points a game over a five-game stretch at the end of 2019 -- when Everett was hobbled -- instead […]

Joe Burrow (QB, CIN) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~73 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~83 ANALYSIS: Joe Burrow was averaging just under 18 fantasy points per game in 2020 before going down with a torn ACL in Week 10. While the Bengals' defense should be better in 2021 because they get some players back from injury, it's still going to be […]

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR, IND) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: At 6'4", 220 lbs, running a 4.5 40-yard dash, Pittman brings a rare combination of size and speed to the wide receiver room in Indianapolis. Per PlayerProfiler, Pittman has a size-adjusted speed score of 111.2, which is in the 93rd percentile of all wide receivers in the NFL. […]

Mike Davis (RB, ATL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~45 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~54 ANALYSIS: I don't think I'm introducing you to anything new in Mike Davis by now, but here we are. Backing up Christian McCaffrey for a large part of the 2020 season, Davis was insanely productive, and that allowed him to finish the year as an RB1 when the season […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~155 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS: The Giants added Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, and Kyle Rudolph this offseason, and all three should really help their third-year quarterback produce in 2021. Daniel Jones hasn't been great in his first two years in the NFL, but he's never had a supporting cast quite like this. The Giants are also […]

Corey Davis (WR, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~125 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~142 ANALYSIS: As soon as Corey Davis appeared to reward fantasy managers for their patience, he switched teams. Last season, Davis set career highs in receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns, and catch percentage. Davis missed just two games and was the WR31 in 2020. Now, we get to see Davis try […]
