Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Miami Dolphins are going through a lot of change heading into 2019. They released former quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Frank Gore, and head coach Adam Gase. They have also notably brought in two new quarterbacks in Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, and welcome a rookie head coach in Brian Flores. One thing that... Read More

Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Heading into the 2019 season, a lot of hype surrounds the Cleveland Browns. Most of this hype revolves around second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield and his likely progression from a season ago, as well as the recent addition of Odell Beckham Jr. to the roster. The Browns finished 2018 with a record of 7-8-1, which was good... Read More

Donte Moncrief (WR, PIT) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Donte Moncrief signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason and immediately jumped onto the fantasy football radar. He spent the 2018 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending the first four years of his career as a member of the Indianapolis Colts, the team who drafted him. Wide receiver is easily the deepest position... Read More

Team Defense (D/ST) Draft Sleepers

Football is a fickle game. NFL defenses can be the same. A defense can be good one year and not so good the next. The common sentiment is the need to get rid of defenses in fantasy football. While this much like the kicker, debate is a good thought, it has not happened yet. Until... Read More

Devin Singletary (RB, BUF) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

With the 11th pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select Devin Singletary from Florida Atlantic University. When this selection was made, Bills' fans probably did not know much about the young Singletary. Singletary is a 5'7 203lb running back out of a small and rather unknown university, but... Read More

Justin Watson (WR, TB) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target In Final Round In Deep Leagues Current ADP: Undrafted It was actually a toss-up for me in coming up with a deep sleeper wide receiver for Tampa Bay with Watson and teammate Scott Miller, but I ultimately settled on Watson as he's farther ahead right now and more likely to see meaningful snaps this... Read More

Chris Conley (WR, JAX) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~260 Overall Current ADP: ~300 Marqise Lee is still not practicing at Jaguars' training camp. That leaves the team with a top-three receiving group of Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark, and Chris Conley. Keelan Cole seems to be a pretty distant fourth of the healthy guys. Terrelle Pryor's going to be cut unless Lee starts the year... Read More

Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Tre'Quan Smith of the New Orleans Saints is primed for a breakout campaign in 2019. While many expected him to produce much more than he did as a rookie, we have to remember that it sometimes takes players a year or two to adjust to the league. While he is currently listed as the number... Read More

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a dynamite sleeper at the wide receiver position in 2019 fantasy football drafts. His current ADP is hovering around the 130 mark, which translates to him being taken as the number 49 wide receiver off the board. This is an absolute steal. Valdes-Scantling had a tremendous 2018 rookie campaign as far as... Read More

Five Very Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers

Sleepers sleepers sleepers sleepers. With fantasy football season in full swing, I know you're already tired of the word "sleeper," especially when people will basically use the word for any player. "Yes, dude in my fantasy league, please tell me more about your big sleeper pick for this year, Saquon Barkley." Clearly, there's a need... Read More

Team Defenses (D/ST) to Target in Fantasy Drafts

One of the last selections that are typically made each year during drafts is the selection of team defenses in fantasy. Different strategies are put in to place when it comes to this process. Do you start the run early by going after one of the elite units of the league or let them go... Read More

Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Heading into your fantasy football draft, remember that quarterback is not a position you need to target early in the draft. Historically, there always are sleepers available late that could help you win a championship. We had a perfect example of this last season with Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes was only the 16th-ranked quarterback in drafts... Read More

Duke Johnson (RB, HOU) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS: The case of Duke Johnson is one of the most interesting ones as we approach the start of the season. He has featured heavily in the Browns offense for four straight years as a constant No. 2 RB option (behind Isaiah Crowell and now Nick Chubb).... Read More

Michael Gallup (WR, DAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall Current ADP: ~160 While Amari Cooper, Ezekiel Elliott, and Dak Prescott get all the attention, Gallup could emerge in his second NFL season. In his 2018 rookie campaign, Gallup averaged 5.4 yards after the catch, which placed him in the top 23 percent of the league. He also had an aDoT... Read More

Kalen Ballage (RB, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~150 I do expect this ADP to rise significantly as we get closer and closer to draft season since Ballage has been practicing with the starters in Miami, but I believe Kenyan Drake is still going to start the year as the starter. Once that becomes clear, Ballage's ADP... Read More

Dexter Williams (RB, GB) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target In Your Final Round Current ADP: ~290 Once your draft is approaching its conclusion, the vast majority of players that you had originally planned to target will no longer be available. However, that should not persuade you to become apathetic about your final selections, because the final rounds still contain players who... Read More

Justice Hill (RB, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall Current ADP: ~170 Last year, the Ravens run game was unlocked once Lamar Jackson took over as quarterback, with Gus Edwards rushing for 654 yards and a pair of touchdowns over the final seven games. Edwards was highly productive over that stretch, but there's a reason he finds himself virtually locked out of... Read More

Dak Prescott (QB, DAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall Current ADP: ~120 Prescott finished at QB10 in scoring last season, which continued his streak of placing within the top 10 during each of his three professional seasons. However, his current ADP leaves him available after 14 other quarterbacks have been selected during the draft process. That lack of... Read More

Dallas Goedert (TE, PHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall Current ADP: ~195 You are already well acquainted with the benefits and the potential for peril that is customary when attempting to locate a dependable tight end position. That can partially explain why Dallas Goedert’s prospects for a more expansive role within Philadelphia’s passing attack has been among the... Read More

Damien Harris (RB, NE) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall Current ADP: ~120 The 5’11 213 pound running back from Alabama pipeline is the next man up in New England. The Bromance between Nick Saban and Bill Belichick continues as Harris makes his way to the defending champs in hopes of becoming a fantasy and real-life relevant back in... Read More

Chase Edmonds (RB, ARI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~220 Overall Current ADP: ~250 Talk about a deep sleeper. They don’t come any deeper than the second string running back sitting behind, not only one of the best running backs in the league, but also one of the bell cows in the league. Despite this Chase Edmonds has a good... Read More

Darren Waller (TE, OAK) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall Current ADP: ~230 Waller's delivers an unusual assortment of size, speed, and agility, although the converted wide receiver's four NFL seasons have been extremely unproductive. Since entering the league in 2015, Waller has accumulated a paltry 18 receptions, 178 yards, and 2 touchdowns, while also being affixed to the sidelines... Read More

N'Keal Harry (WR, NE) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~100 When the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin reported that Harry “struggled to get open” during New England’s mini-camp, the overreaction that ensued was borderline nonsensical. The word “bust” quickly emerged on Twitter, and Harry’s ADP shifted downward. But any challenges that Harry encountered during his initial mini-camp... Read More

Devin Singletary (RB, BUF) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~160 Buffalo's backfield is a mess. LeSean McCoy. Frank Gore. T.J. Yeldon. Devin Singletary. How will you ever figure out who'll be the best of them? Well, training camp can be a partial guide for us. Singletary has been getting reps with the first-team offense already, which suggests that he's... Read More

Jaylen Samuels (RB, PIT) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~130 Overall Current ADP: ~140 This is probably the most obvious name on the list of handcuffs with standalone value. James Conner is a top pick in fantasy leagues. Jaylen Samuels' role isn't clearly defined just yet. The preseason will likely give us some greater insight into how the Steelers plan to... Read More

Josh Allen (QB, BUF) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~160 Ongoing concerns about Allen’s deficiencies as a passer have lingered in the aftermath of last season’s 52.8 completion percentage. However, any apprehension about drafting the second-year signal-caller should be overshadowed by his scoring potential as a dual-threat performer. This provides the prospects of significant production during... Read More

Mike Davis (RB, CHI) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall Current ADP: ~240 Too many fantasy players are overlooking or forgetting about free-agent acquisition Mike Davis. He is going to be more than just a backup to David Montgomery, as some are assuming. Davis performed well when pressed into action at times in Seattle last year and left the team... Read More

Latavius Murray (RB, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~100 Former Vikings back Latavius Murray has taken Mark Ingram's role in what was the NFL's best running back committee over the past two years, when the Ingram and Alvin Kamara duo was an incredibly lethal duo in real life and fantasy. But people have...well, they've just seemed... Read More

Austin Hooper (TE, ATL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~110 I'll admit that Austin Hooper has never been a name that excited me, even after he finished as the PPR TE6 last season. That was aided by injuries to a lot of other tight ends, so it's not as impressive as it seems. But Hooper's third... Read More

DaeSean Hamilton (WR, DEN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~165 Daesean Hamilton entered Week 14 with anemic season-long numbers (8 targets/5 receptions/ 61 yards). But the torn Achilles that ended Emmanuel Sanders’ season in early December propelled Hamilton into a significant role. He played in 95.5% of the Broncos’ snaps from Weeks 14-17 and led all rookies... Read More

Carlos Hyde (RB, KC) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall Current ADP: ~130 What are we to expect from Damien Williams in his first full season taking over from Kareem Hunt? Who Knows. Many people like his talent and his fit in an Andy Reid offense known for only using one running back all the way back to his Eagles days. That... Read More

Week 16 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

For much of the season, we've seen kickers rarely used on field goal duty, but, in the last couple of weeks, we have seen a large amount of change in that area. Defenses are cashing in on the bad weather to slow opposing offenses down, and that should continue in Week 16. The second round... Read More
