BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~20 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~25 ANALYSIS: There's no good explanation for why Fournette is going outside the top-12 running backs right now.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado and outfielder Dylan Carlson are out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs.

Off-The-Radar Fantasy Football Sleepers Who Could Make Noise - Tyler Johnson, Hayden Hurst, Justin Watson, and more

The term "sleeper" has been overused and abused by the fantasy community. The fact is that almost anyone can be a sleeper if you frame it the right way.
