BALLER MOVE: Draft Early Fourth/Late Third CURRENT ADP: Overall #47/ TE #3 ANALYSIS: Greg Olsen wasn’t on this list a couple week ago, but with the news that Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL in practice, Olsen is someone we have to address.

BALLER MOVE:  Target In Last Rounds or as Waiver Pickup CURRENT ADP: Overall #298 / TE #29 ANALYSIS: I was pretty bummed when Jordy Nelson went down with a torn ACL.

Andre Ellington (RB, ARI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 4-5 Current ADP: 46 STD, 37 PPR ANALYSIS: Andre Ellington is entrenched as the number one back for the Cardinals, so the carries -- as well as the targets -- will be there.
