Eric Ebron (TE, PIT) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~135 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~155 ANALYSIS: After an impossible 2018 season in which Ebron destroyed all projections (he finished with 750 yards on 66 catches, including 13 TDs!), he came back to earth in 2019 (31 receptions, 375 yards, 3 touchdowns in 11 games). Even with that -- and taking the five […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: I am not going to sell you what Rudolph is not: a league winner.

After a lengthy series detailing the fantasy values of countless players, we have reached the final team: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues/Saves+Holds Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of leagues ANALYSIS: It hasn't always been the easiest path to the majors for the Burdi brothers of the University of Louisville, and Nick Burdi saw his season ended almost immediately after being named the interim closer for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The high number of seven-inning doubleheaders is going to lead to some interesting DFS results this season, particularly for pitchers.
