Tyler Eifert (TE, JAX) - 2020 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~160 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: The problem with Tyler Eifert isn't hard to spot: injuries and health issues.

That's only because Austin Hooper didn't debut until the […]

Fool Me Once... Sophomore QBs Set to Bust Again

Just because QBs have one year of NFL experience under their belt does not mean natural progression will come sophomore year, unfortunately. In fact, many players, especially QBs, undergo growing pains for their first few years in the league before emerging as a true gunslinger. Look at what Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Josh Rosen […]

Mark Canha Hero For A's Saturday Night
