Daniel Norris (SP, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues, Add in AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Daniel Norris hasn’t done anything spectacular, but did notch his first victory since being recalled by shutting down the Twins on Aug. 25, striking out five over 6 1/3 strong innings. The crux here is that he gets to […]

Joe Musgrove (SP, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues OWNED IN: 32% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Joe Musgrove’s last two starts have not been good, but they’ve been rather tough match-ups— in Baltimore and in Pittsburgh.

Top Five Reasons Why I Love Going Zero-RB: 2016 Draft Strategy

In 2004, I was commissioner of a league with nine of my close friend, one of whom was playing fantasy football for the first time. For ease of storytelling, let’s call him Goldie. After explaining the concept and rules to Goldie, you could see how excited he was for his first fantasy draft. His excitement was increased exponentially […]

2016 Fantasy Football Team Outlook - Tennessee Titans

Tennessee made some of the splashier off-season moves by adding two legit starters at the same position and ditching a player who some thought were destined for stardom. Whether it works remains to be seen, but this year's Titans offense should definitely be a much different version of itself. In the search for an end […]

Overrated/Underrated Week 21: Second Basemen

You made it. Or, you're close to making it. The playoffs are here, or they're almost here. Every roster decision matters. Whether it's daily or weekly, there's no longer a point to holding on to guys with microscopic chances of helping your fantasy team. Think Giancarlo Stanton, who may not return until the end of […]

Three Late Round Running Backs Who Will Outperform Their ADP

For most of our fantasy-playing lives, running backs have dominated the first round in drafts. In recent years, that trend has been shifting more and more to wide receivers with fewer running backs meeting the “bellcow” moniker. After last year’s mess where several of the top running backs didn’t even come close to producing at […]

Madison Bumgarner Effective Against Braves for 13th Win

More than a few fantasy baseball managers found themselves drooling over the Bumgarner vs. Atlanta matchup this afternoon, dreaming of capping off their week with total domination of a weak offense by one of the game's most dominant southpaws. While it wasn't exactly fantasy Armageddon, Bumgarner turned in a solid start: seven innings, three earned […]

Phillip Dorsett (WR, IND) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 CURRENT ADP: 170.9 ANALYSIS: Donte Moncrief is a popular pick in the pre-season, but Phillip Dorsett is another under-the-radar Colts receiver worth looking at on draft day. The former track star at the University of Miami has blazing speed and was officially clocked at 4.33 in the 40-yard dash, but he has […]

Breshad Perriman (WR, BAL) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~200 CURRENT ADP: 221.3 ANALYSIS: Breshad Perriman is going un-drafted in many circles. Of course, his recent knee surgery had something to do with it, but the knee sprain he suffered during OTAs does not appear serious, and Perriman should be ready for the regular season. Missing training camp will certainly slow […]

Chris Conley (WR, KC) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~200 CURRENT ADP: 231 ANALYSIS: The Chiefs traded to acquire Chris Conley in the third-round last year, even though his college stats didn't exactly scream future star. At Georgia, Conley managed just 36 catches for 657 yards and eight TD in his senior year, marking his most prolific season. As a rookie, he […]

Christine Michael (RB, SEA) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~145 CURRENT ADP: 154.6 ANALYSIS: Christine Michael has been considered a late-round sleeper for just about forever, and has never amassed 200 yards on the ground in a single season.However, Thomas Rawls hasn’t played in the preseason as he continues to recover from last year’s fractured ankle. In his absence, Michael has […]

Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~165 CURRENT ADP: 176.3 ANALYSIS: Tim Hightower may not be a sexy name, but he was a valuable midseason pickup last year after Mark Ingram went down. Hightower carried the rock 84 times for 327 yards and four touchdowns from Week 13 to Week 16, adding 129 receiving yards on 12 catches. […]

Jordan Howard (RB, CHI) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~175 CURRENT ADP: 186.3 ANALYSIS: Jordan Howard may not have a starting role in Chicago, but the fifth-round rookie out of Indiana also doesn’t have a ton standing in his way either. Jeremy Langford is firmly entrenched as the starter for now, but the other running backs on the team — Jacquizz […]

New York Jets (DEF, NYJ) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 CURRENT ADP: 166 ANALYSIS: The Jets allowed just 5,098 yards of total offense last year, the fourth fewest in football. They were particularly impermeable on the ground, as opposing teams ran the ball into the end zone just four times all year. In the off-season, New York extended Muhammad Wilkerson and […]

Champ or Chump: What to Make of Conforto, Gray, and Ray

At this point in the year, all fantasy teams fall into one of three categories.

Then there's the also-ran, the team that nothing went right for all season. […]

Fooled Me Once, Not Again - Sophomore Running Backs Set to Disappoint

Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me!  In fact, shame on me so much I should be kicked out of my fantasy league. Just like any human being, fantasy football owners do not like getting fooled twice. If a player burns them, and costs them the chance of winning their league […]

Three Sophomore Wide Receivers Who Will Surprise in 2016

Back in the medieval days of fantasy football (early 2000s), it was largely assumed that the third year of an NFL wide receiver's career was destined to be his breakout season. In fact, many magazines and websites ran articles on which receivers to tab simply due to to the number next to their Years of Experience column. […]

Late Round Quarterback Voltron - Streamers Who Can Make a QB1

Many savvy fantasy drafters have begun to wait until the middle rounds to take their starting quarterback. The rationale for this strategy is that the quarterback position is the most predictable of the fantasy positions and even a bad quarterback has a good shot at putting up good numbers against a poor pass defense. But […]
