Sterling Shepard Looking To Bounce Back In 2020

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will look to match his strong numbers from 2018 after a disappointing 2019 season. Two years ago, when Shepard played all 16 games, he put up 872 yards and four touchdowns on 66 catches. He's capable of better numbers than that in what should be an improved Giants […]

Montrezl Harrell Wins Sixth Man Of The Year

Los Angeles Clippers center Montrezl Harrell wins the Sixth Man of the Year award for the 2019-2020 season. He snaps teammate Lou Williams two-year run, but at least the award stays on the team. Harrell finished the season with career highs in points (18.6) and rebounds (7.1) with 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks per game. […]

Devine Ozigbo (RB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~160 ANALYSIS: The Jaguars backfield situation is getting more interesting by the day. As of a few days ago, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Devine Ozigbo didn't figure to have fantasy relevance in 2020, but he suddenly finds himself on the radar. First, the Jags made a shocking move by releasing […]

George Kittle Could Be Lining Up In Backfield Often

Due to the San Francisco 49ers' offensive line woes, star tight end George Kittle could see himself lining up in the backfield often to start the year. This would help give the team a boost in pass protection, with Kittle's blocking ability a big step up from the team's running backs. On the surface, this […]

Patrick Beverley Will Be Limited Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (calf) will be on a minutes limit during Saturday's Game 2 contest against the Denver Nuggets. He was able to play during their first game of the series, but was only out there for 12 minutes. The Clippers are likely going to push him a little more during his […]

Ty France (2B/3B, SEA) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Mariners acquired Ty France from the Padres in the trade headlined by Austin Nola going in the opposite direction. While in San Diego, France found it difficult to get regular playing, featuring in just 20 of the team's 36 games and logging […]

Adbert Alzolay Struggles With Command

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay struggled in Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals. Alzolay was coming off of an impressive start against the same Cardinals in his first start of the season August 19. The Cubs pitching prospect only lasted 2 2/3 innings and allowed two runs on two hits, five walks […]

Ian Happ Returns With Two Homers

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ returned to the lineup with a bang on Saturday. Happ exited Thursday’s contest early after fouling a ball off of his eye and being diagnosed with a contusion. Happ sat out Friday as well, but returned to the lineup in Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader. He didn’t miss a beat […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable For Game 4

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Miami Heat. He twisted his ankle early during Friday's contest, but was able to play through the issue. However, he didn't look comfortable after tweaking his ankle, so the team might be cautious here. The Bucks are already […]

Gordon Hayward Expected To Return To The Bubble Sunday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (ankle) is expected to rejoin the team in the bubble on Sunday. However, Hayward is not expected to take the court anytime soon, according to head coach Brad Stevens. He has not played in a game since August 17, when he left the arena on crutches. There's a chance that […]

Kelly Olynyk Could Return On Sunday

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was unable to suit up for Friday's contest due to a right knee issue. The team is hopeful that Olynyk will be able to give it a go here. Otherwise, Bam Adebayo would see extended […]

Old Reliable Golden Tate Still A Solid Fantasy Option

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is entering his 11th season in the NFL but is still producing at a high level. Tate averaged 4.5 catches and 61.5 yards per game last season and put up six touchdowns in just 11 games. The Giants have a new coach, new offense, and improved offensive line […]

Rajon Rondo Probable For Sunday's Game 2

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 2 matchup against the Houston Rockets. He was able to get out there and make his bubble debut during Friday's contest. He played 25 minutes, but likely played more than the Lakers wanted him to on Friday. Alex Caruso got into […]

Richard Rodriguez (RP, PIT) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: With just three weeks remaining this season, fantasy managers are scrambling to boost stats wherever they can and no more so than searching for saves. So the fact Richard Rodriguez is rostered in just 12% of leagues is surprising. Granted, the Pirates have […]

Chase Edmonds (RB, ARI) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~164 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: There are still Kenyan Drake truthers out there, apparently. Drake's ADP in 12-team redraft leagues is currently 16th overall (middle of the second round) and RB10. Back in the summer of 2018 draft-season, we witnessed something similar with Drake and expectations around him entering 2019 as […]

Phillip Lindsay (RB, DEN) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~100 ANALYSIS:  Phillip Lindsay's ADP variation over the past few weeks hasn't been that big. In fact, it has only moved half a round down since the start of July, mostly because nothing has truly changed in Denver to cause a big swing in either direction. After signing […]

Tyler Herro Should Be Fine For Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) is listed as probable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He suffered a right hip injury during their first game of the series, but it doesn't sound like it'll sideline him. Herro finished with 13 points and eight rebounds during Friday's game. He should be good to […]

Kareem Hunt (RB, CLE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~48 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~64 ANALYSIS: After returning from suspension last season, Kareem Hunt took a bite out of the production of Nick Chubb. In those eight games, Hunt out-snapped Chubb in six of them. He also took a large chunk of the targets, but keep in mind that Odell Beckham Jr. […]

James White (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football PPR Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~65 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~82+ ANALYSIS: Every year it is the same story. It never fails. It is turning in a 12-month-round event. Every year, I think James White will be properly valued, and I always find myself on the wrong side of things. We're talking PPR leagues here mostly (White's bread […]

Darius Slayton Fighting For Targets In Giants Offense

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was a surprise contributor for Big Blue last season and is looking to carry that momentum into 2020. Last season, Slayton racked up 48 catches for 740 yards and eight touchdowns in just 13 games. As good as Slayton was, he'll have an uphill battle to replicate those […]

Anthony Davis, LeBron James Probable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (finger) and forward LeBron James (groin) are listed as probable for Sunday's Game 2 versus the Houston Rockets. Both superstars have been listed as probable multiple times during the postseason and they continue to play. It doesn't sound like either player is going to be sidelined here. Fantasy owners […]

Josh Fleming (SP, TB) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: The depleted Tampa Bay Rays pitching staff has been boosted by rookie Josh Fleming, with three wins from his three starts, a 3.52 ERA and 1.04 WHIP from 15.1 IP. Two of his starts have come against the Marlins including Friday's 5.0 IP, 4 […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~75 Overall CURRENT ADP:~93 ANALYSIS: At first glance, you would think that a wide receiver that has been traded to his fourth team in seven seasons would be a shaky investment from a fantasy perspective. While his 2019 season was certainly a downer, Cooks has a proven track record in his ability […]

Tarik Cohen (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~88 ANALYSIS: Cohen's profile and his situation in Chicago is the classic pass-catching, no.2-tailback one. In fact, James White might be the prime example of this and PFF has White projected to 143 PPR points in 2020 with Cohen coming in at 173... and still getting drafted half […]

Michael Pittman Jr. (WR, IND) - Fantasy Football Rookie Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~163 ANALYSIS: The Indianapolis Colts needed a playmaking wide receiver entering 2020 so they went on and snatched big-man Michael Pittman Jr. in the second round of the draft. Pittman's size will make him a great red-zone presence for Philip Rivers and will allow him to use his […]

Darrynton Evans (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Rookie Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Whether you load up on running backs early in the draft or employ the zero-RB strategy, a fantasy player’s ability to identify late-round upside running backs (and super-handcuffs) is massively important to winning a fantasy championship: enter Titans' rookie-rusher Darrynton Evans. The now-former Mountaineer ran the […]

Marquise Brown (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~75 ANALYSIS: It didn’t take long for Marquise Brown to acclimate to the NFL. In the Week 1 throttling of the Dolphins, the speedster smoked the Miami secondary all day, notching four receptions for 147 yards and two touchdowns. Due to the Ravens being a run-first team, Brown never […]

Jarvis Landry (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football PPR Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~50 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~70 ANALYSIS: It's been a while since Landry had surgery (hip; February) and news at the end of July spoke of Landry as being on track to be back on the field come the first week of the new season. Even with that good news coming earlier, Landry's […]

Julian Edelman (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~76 ANALYSIS: The last time I wrote about Julian Edelman, more than a month ago when New England was still penciling QB Jarrett Stidham as its starter, it made sense to be at least a little bit worried about Edelman's upside entering 2020. Tom Brady was no […]

Bisi Johnson (WR, MIN) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Do the Vikings have the most booming passing offense in the NFL? Nope. Is Bisi Johnson a WR3 in this attack? Sure thing. See, I know Minny's passing game is not quite as valuable as that of Kansas City and that being the third receiver […]
