In this article, we look around the NFL and provide analysis on some fantasy football PPR sleepers for both running backs and wide receivers.

  Tight End Draft Strategy The position of tight end can be fairly unexciting for fantasy football, especially in non-PPR leagues, unless you are the fantasy football owner with Jimmy Graham or another elite TE on your team.  After the "Big Three" tight ends come off the board (Graham, Rob Gronkowski, and Julius Thomas), your choice at the […]

Tsuyoshi Wada (SP, CHC) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / NL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: With the Cubs clearly in rebuilding mode, they have been trotting out many of their minor leaguers that need to get a cup of coffee in The Big Show, and Tsuyoshi Wada has been one of the beneficiaries of that. Not really doing anything to stay toiling […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 155  (Current ADP: 184 and rising, WR: 73) ANALYSIS:  If you're looking for this year's Keenan Allen, Cody Latimer guy might be your best bet.

DeAndre Hopkins (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 105 (Current ADP: 128, WR: 44) ANALYSIS: After a promising rookie season in 2013, DeAndre Hopkins, the Texans' former first round pick out of Clemson, has shined this year in camp.

Oakland Raiders: 2014 Fantasy Football Analysis & Team Outlook

There are very few teams that can comfortably be eliminated from the playoff conversation in August. I am starting to think Oakland is one of those rare teams that have no shot.

BALLER MOVE: Target ~165  (Current ADP: 213, TE: 25) ANALYSIS:  The New England Patriots recently completed a surprise trade by trading six-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins for Tim Wright and a 4th round draft pick.  Speculation on Rob Gronkowski's health abounds, but currently his health report is that he's 'in a good spot' to start […]

Fantasy Football Stock Rising / Falling After Preseason Week 3

Amazingly, we are three preseason games in yet we have been graced by a relatively injury-free August.

Dexter Fowler (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Dexter Fowler has had a wishy-washy season, to say the least. He has dealt with injury, and he has been a part of a somewhat anemic offense. That being said, over the last month Fowler is batting .291 which has hiked his season average up to .274. […]

Drew Smyly (SP, TAM) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Mixed Leagues & AL-Only Leagues Immediately ANALYSIS: Mazel Tov Tampa, you have managed to get pretty decent return for one of the top established aces in the league, David Price. The best part is that they traded a lefty for a lefty, so in theory, their rotation only loses potential skill, but […]

Antonio Gates (TE, SD) - Fantasy Football Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target ~ 120 (Current ADP: 141, TE: 13) ANALYSIS: We all know what Antonio "Old Man" Gates can do in the Charger's offense, but Ladarius Green is stealing all of the thunder in preseason fantasy talk.
