Deeper Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target

With two weeks until the start of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are moving from participating in best-ball leagues to starting to prepare for redraft and home leagues. However, that doesn't have to mean you give up on some of your favorite sleepers. I've been pretty consistent in arguing that the term sleeper is […]

Updated Fantasy Football Rankings: PPR Wide Receivers

Fantasy football rankings change as often as wide receivers change NFL teams the week before the season starts. The wide receiver merry-go-round is spinning quicker than Tyreek Hill does when he is breaking tackles in the secondary. Some pass catchers are dealing with demotions, injuries or being cut, while others are finding higher spots on […]

The 2021 NFL season is just around the corner and fantasy drafts are in full swing at this point. Everyone knows who to pick in the first round, but what about in the last round? Or the last couple of rounds? Who are the players that you need to be looking out for as you […]

If you're like me, that is, a bona fide fantasy football junkie who is consumed by this hobby, then you participate in more than one league. It's to the point where I've lost count but I know I'll check in each and every week to set lineups, make waiver claims, and do whatever it takes […]

Must Have Mid-Round Draft Targets

Fantasy football draft season is in full swing. While championships aren't won solely in the draft, they can set your team up for much success during the season. While the early rounds should be used to anchor your team, it's the middle rounds that can really make or break your draft. In this article, I'll […]

Devante Parker Bounce Back Year?

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker did not look like himself during the 2020 season. He finished with 32 receptions, 438 yards, and three touchdowns in eight games. Sadly, injuries continue to hinder him and it's beginning to hurt his fantasy value. Right now, Parker should be viewed as a high-end WR4 coming into Week […]

You can afford to take risks on a variety of different players, including prospects, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even skilled players with potential playing time concerns. It's essential to have […]

Must-Have Backup Running Backs

After a turbulent season in 2020, Week 1 is right around the corner. Historically, most leagues aren't won by who is taken in the first few rounds of fantasy drafts. Instead, it's by who finds those "value" options later on. Also, a majority of the most successful league managers remain committed to searching the waiver […]

Must-Have Tight Ends

In fantasy football, understanding the importance of the tight end position can provide an enormous edge when it comes to fantasy scoring. Since 2018, there have been a total of 11 tight ends that have exceeded 200 fantasy points a year. Three of them belong to Travis Kelce. Two of them belong to Darren Waller, […]

Gerrid Doaks Earns Practice Squad Spot

Miami Dolphins running back Gerrid Doaks made the most of his chances during the preseason. He posted a two-touchdown game in the preseason finale. Sadly, it was not enough to earn him a spot on the 53-man roster. Although, the Dolphins did keep him around with a spot on the practice squad. The seventh-round running […]

Malcolm Brown Could Have Sneaky Value

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown is probably not someone most fantasy managers would bother considering in drafts. He's currently stuck in a three-back committee with Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed. Right now, it sounds like Gaskin is the favorite to be the lead back. However, Brown was brought in this offseason as insurance at […]

Myles Gaskin Likely To Be Lead Back

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is expected to be in a three-back committee to begin the season. The organization plans to use Malcolm Brown, Salvon Ahmed, and Gaskin in their weekly gameplan. At first glance, this is a headache for fantasy managers and probably won't last too long for Miami. At some point, one […]

Tua Tagovailoa Focusing On Week 1

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is going to be the starter heading into Week 1. The organization is hopeful that Tagovailoa can be their future franchise quarterback. However, there have been rumors about the Dolphins possibly interested in Deshaun Watson. Despite that, Tagovailoa is trying to block out the trade rumors and focus on helping […]

Joey Gallo Homers In Saturday's Loss

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's loss to the Orioles. Gallo was 1-for-20 over his last six games played, so the home run, his 31st of the year, was a good sight to see. The slugger's blast traveled 375 feet at 108.2 MPH. Gallo […]

Max Stassi On The Bench On Saturday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Max Stassi isn't starting Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. The catcher has been one of Los Angeles' best players this season, hitting .271 with a .346 on-base percentage and 11 home runs in 257 plate appearances. He'll get the day off on Sunday with Kurt Suzuki stepping in to start […]

Omar Narvaez Isn't Starting Saturday

Milwaukee Brewers catcher Omar Narvaez isn't in Saturday's lineup against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Brewers will take on the Cardinals and left-hander Kwang Hyun Kim but will do so with one of their best hitters on the bench. Narvaez is hitting .286 with a .370 on-base percentage and 11 home runs in 376 plate […]

Montgomery threw 97 pitches, his highest total […]

Zach Ertz (TE, PHI) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~170 ANALYSIS:  I understand that this ADP is because most people think Ertz is on his way out of Philadelphia to allow Dallas Goedert to take over the reins at the position, but I think we might be jumping the gun on that a bit. So not […]

Eric Hosmer Isn't In Saturday's Lineup

San Diego Padres first baseman Eric Hosmer will begin Saturday's game against the Houston Astros on the bench. Hosmer is batting .268 with a .336 on-base percentage, 11 home runs, and five stolen bases in 486 plate appearances this season. The Padres are starting Jurickson Profar at first base against Houston left-hander Framber Valdez. Profar, […]

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is on the bench for Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies. d'Arnaud is batting .220 with a .273 on-base percentage and four home runs in 143 plate appearances this season. Instead, it'll be Stephen Vogt behind the plate on Saturday. Fantasy managers are probably best off looking elsewhere for streaming […]

Yoan Moncada Not Starting On Saturday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada isn't in Saturday's lineup for a matchup with the Kansas City Royals and left-hander Daniel Lynch. Moncada has been plenty productive for both the White Sox and fantasy managers this season, hitting .264 with a .374 on-base percentage, 11 home runs, and three stolen bases in 516 plate […]

Matt Manning Will Start On Wednesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matt Manning will start on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The rookie has shown glimpses of why he's one of the game's best pitching prospects but has struggled at times in his first 13 starts. In 63 innings this season, the 23-year-old has pitched to a 6.29 ERA, a 5.00 FIP, […]
