Michael Morse (1B / OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Morse is having a solid year at the dish, and his power numbers should be enticing for fantasy owners in deeper leagues, especially given the flexibility offered by Morse's multi-position eligibility.

Rookie Wide Receivers You Should Target and Avoid in Your Drafts

Late-round draft picks in fantasy football drafts are like lottery tickets: you invest a minimal amount with the expectation of minimal returns, but with a chance at a big payout.  The big payouts are the deep sleeper candidates we search for every year, and no draft strategy is complete without those types of players.  Obviously, […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~115  (Current ADP: 120, RB: 40) ANALYSIS:  While all the talk has been about Johnny Manziel in Cleveland there's a battle going on in the RB corps that you should pay attention to.  Currently Ben Tate is listed and paid as the #1 RB option however if you know anything about Ben […]

Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 115 (Current ADP: 136, RB: 44) ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers typically hate these pseudo-committees teams are implementing in their back-fields, but in the Cincinnati Bengals case it looks like it may be a dynamic thunder and lightning punch.

Four Wide Receivers Primed For An Increase In Touchdowns

An important aspect of having a successful fantasy season is being able to project which players are likely to improve their numbers from the previous season.

Julian Edelman (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 55 (Current ADP: 67, WR: 25) ANALYSIS: If you were to ask any average fantasy owner to name you three offensive players on the  New England Patriots it's conceivable Julian Edelman wouldn't even make that list. Chances are they would name Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and one of the random running backs […]
