Must-Have Backup Running Backs

After a turbulent season in 2020, Week 1 is right around the corner. Historically, most leagues aren't won by who is taken in the first few rounds of fantasy drafts. Instead, it's by who finds those "value" options later on. Also, a majority of the most successful league managers remain committed to searching the waiver […]

Must-Have Tight Ends

In fantasy football, understanding the importance of the tight end position can provide an enormous edge when it comes to fantasy scoring. Since 2018, there have been a total of 11 tight ends that have exceeded 200 fantasy points a year. Three of them belong to Travis Kelce. Two of them belong to Darren Waller, […]

Zach Ertz (TE, PHI) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~170 ANALYSIS:  I understand that this ADP is because most people think Ertz is on his way out of Philadelphia to allow Dallas Goedert to take over the reins at the position, but I think we might be jumping the gun on that a bit. So not […]

Rashod Bateman (WR, BAL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~215 ANALYSIS:  The passing volume in Baltimore is not ideal. The injury to Rashod Bateman is also not ideal and yet, I am suggesting him for your fantasy team. I'm betting on talent here. He was a first-round pick for a reason. As a sophomore in college, […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~240 ANALYSIS:  Marquez Valdes-Scantling finished as the 55th-ranked wide receiver in PPR-formats last year with 9.2 fantasy points per game but is somehow now being drafted as the 72nd receiver off the board. There are only two reasons I can assume for that: his drop rate from […]

Ja’Marr Chase (WR, CIN) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~75 ANALYSIS: Does this feel like banging my head against a wall? Maybe. Am I still going to do it? Absolutely.

Michael Thomas (WR, NO) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~100 ANALYSIS: Michael Thomas has an ADP lower than 130, and he's here because he's absolutely worth it. He was just placed on the PUP list which means he won't be back until at least Week 6. There's no way around that, it stinks. It doesn't change the […]

Ty'Son Williams (RB, BAL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~185 ANALYSIS:  It's always sad when any player suffers a serious injury in the preseason, so football fans were understandably bummed when J.K. Dobbins suffered a knee injury that will end his season. However, the other side of the coin is that the injury provides a potential […]

Sony Michel (RB, LAR) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~135 ANALYSIS:  Okay, get your laughs out of the way. Are you finished? No, seriously... are you done?

Jonnu Smith (TE, NE) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~126 ANALYSIS:  Everybody knows the Patriots love to use their tight ends because we've been hearing people talk about it for almost a decade now. So when the Patriots go out and sign a 26-year-old with elite run after the catch ability, I expected to see the […]

Austin Hooper (TE, CLE) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS:  Browns tight end Austin Hooper was painted poorly by his 2020 season.

He was nearly useless afterward and limited with more of a blocking […]
