Close your eyes and imagine this. You’re in the midst of a beautiful season, your studs are doing work, you hit on your sleepers, your team is firing on all cylinders. And then your RB1 crumbles into a heap. You don’t have the backup, that stupid smug schmuck Steve does. Steve is now blowing up […]

Is Calvin Johnson Still A Top Five Receiver?

It is no secret that Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson is one of the most talented players in football, regardless of position. A once in a generation specimen, he has a combination of size, speed, and aggressiveness that few wide receivers to ever play can match. Simply put, no one with even a basic semblance of […]

Is LeSean McCoy in a Better or Worse Situation Under Rex Ryan's Bills?

Outside of Adrian Peterson, there is no trickier running back to attempt to predict their success in 2015 than LeSean McCoy. No longer is Shady in Philadelphia, as he now plays for the Buffalo Bills and head coach Rex Ryan. The big question surrounding McCoy is how he will fare on a new team with […]

Overvalued Wide Receivers for 2015 Fantasy Football Drafts

Every year, fantasy owners look to make bold gambles in the draft in hopes of looking back on a championship squad of unlikely heroes. This is especially prevalent in regards to the wide receiver position. Rather than worrying about building a consistent roster of proven producers, the risk-takers of the world prefer to search for imaginary […]

LeGarrette Blount: Undervalued RB to Target in 2015

LeGarrette Blount was a force to be reckoned with at the end of last season. In a year in which Bill Belichick used everything that moved for his running back job, Blount came out of nowhere (the waivers) to lead the Pats’ rushing attack into the playoffs and beyond. Despite scoring just three times in five games […]

Saturday nights in college football are some of the most coveted time slots in televised sports. As a result, the most notable teams on major networks, especially stations like NBC and FOX, are stacked with prospective talent. But not all games are productive in running up a fantasy score. Don't focus on the flashy names. […]

Kendall Wright (WR, TEN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 11- 13 Current ADP: 123 STD, 106 PPR ANALYSIS: Even with sub-par quarterback play from Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jake Locker, Zach Mettenberger and Charlie Whitehurst, Kendall Wright still managed to put up 1,079 and 715 yards in his second and third seasons, respectively. With Mettenberger, Wright was on pace for over 1,000 yards […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 12-14 Current ADP: 149 STD, 117 PPR ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker has a history of injuries, but he should still debut early in the season. His size and speed, combined with his college production -- 140 yards per game over six games as a senior -- make him a solid weapon. Should Ryan Tannehill […]

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 8-10 Current ADP: 94 STD, 87 PPR ANALYSIS: Larry Fitzgerald understandably struggled with Drew Stanton and Ryan Lindley at quarterback last season. However, in the six starts made by Carson Palmer, Fitzgerald managed five catches for 80 yards and two touchdowns. Fitzgerald is not what he used to be, but he should […]

Austin Sefarian-Jenkins (TE, TB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft In Later Rounds CURRENT ADP: Overall #136/ TE #26 ANALYSIS: Austin Sefarian-Jenkins has an even lower ADP than someone like Kyle Rudolph, but he has just as good of a chance to make an impact in 2015. Entering his sophomore season in the NFL, ASJ looks to be more of a cog […]

Chris Ivory (RB, NYJ) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Starting in Seventh Round CURRENT ADP: Overall #79, RB #29 ANALYSIS: Over the last two seasons, it could be argued that Chris Ivory was the most reliable offensive weapon for the New York Jets. Ivory averaged a very respectable 4.35 YPC over the last two years and topped 800 yards in both seasons. Heading […]

Rashad Jennings (RB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target In Eighth Round CURRENT ADP: Overall #84, RB #31 ANALYSIS: On the surface, it might appear that Jennings is too old, too brittle and in a backfield that's too crowded to trust him. Jennings is 30, a supposed age of decline for running backs, has never played 16 games in a season and […]

Doug Martin (RB, TB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Add In Later Rounds CURRENT ADP: Overall #88, RB #34 ANALYSIS: When the Muscle Hamster burst onto the scene during his rookie campaign with 1,926 total yards and 12 TDs, it seemed that he was on his way to being one of the best backs in the game. But the last two seasons […]

Daily Fantasy College Football for 9/5: DraftKings CFB DFS Picks & Sleepers (Early Games)

Knowing the type of offensive game a team uses and understanding their individual skill sets is crucial in making your picks.

Can QB Ryan Fitzpatrick Bring Fantasy Value To The Jets?

By now everyone who has internet or has watched eight seconds of Sports Center knows that Jets quarterback Geno Smith was sucker punched by an irrelevant former late round draft pick and will miss 6-10 weeks with a broken jaw. While oddly enough sports stations talk wall-to-wall about how this incident perfectly encapsulates the 40 […]

Analyzing and Projecting the Rookie QBs: Tampa Bay's Jameis Winston and Tennessee's Marcus Mariota

Since 2002, only 18 rookie quarterbacks have started week 1 of the season for their team, and five of them came in 2012. On average, a rookie QB that starts week one finishes the season with just over 3,100 yards passing and 16 TDs, numbers that do not make them very valuable in fantasy football. […]

Eddie Royal (WR, CHI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for FLEX Upside in PPR CURRENT ADP: 140 STD, 126 PPR ANALYSIS: With John Fox taking over the helm in Chicago, can Eddie Royal be last season’s Emmanuel Sanders? Of coursePeyton Manning is at quarterback, but Fox is going to bring some components of the Denver offense to Chicago, where secondary wide receivers […]

Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for WR3 Upside CURRENT ADP: 201 STD, 159 PPR ANALYSIS: Whenever the words "wide receiver" and "Drew Brees" are in the same sentence, you have to like your chances in fantasy football. With the offseason departure of non-inspiring Kenny Stills, and target monster Jimmy Graham, the young and talented rookie Coleman should immediately be catapulted […]

Jorge De La Rosa (COL, SP) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Matchup Streamer OWNED IN: 6% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I know what you're thinking. You want me to trust a Rockie in a win-or-go-home scenario!? Well what if I told you that a) the game is not at Coors and b) the pitcher of interest has a 3.22 ERA and a .227 BAA in 72.2 innings. Throw […]

Anquan Boldin (WR, SF) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 9-11 Current ADP: 105 STD, 98 PPR ANALYSIS: Anquan Boldin finished 16th and 23rd among wide receivers in scoring in 2013 and 2014, respectively, but it still often ranked outside the top 30 for 2015. He's the number one pass-catching option on his team, having been  targeted 130 times last year […]

Amari Cooper (WR, OAK) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 4-5 Current ADP: 42 STD, 39 PPR ANALYSIS: Amari Cooper is regarded as the most "can't miss" wide receiver in this year's rookie class, and he has the talent to back it up. The Raiders have had poor wide receiver play in recent years, so Cooper has virtually no competition in […]
