Payton Barber (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~250 ANALYSIS: Is Peyton Barber a sexy name to target in fantasy football drafts? No way. Is there a chance that Peyton Barber can fall into relevant fantasy football value in 2020? Absolutely. With the release of Adrian Peterson, Washington's backfield consists of Antonio Gibson, Bryce Love, […]

David Montgomery Status For Week 1 Is Unclear

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery's status for Week 1 remains unclear due to a groin injury he sustained on August 26 that would cause him to miss a few weeks. A worst-case scenario would be him missing a game or two at the beginning of the season. The back was at practice on Sunday, […]

David Johnson Facing High Expectations This Year

Houston Texans running back David Johnson will have the pressure on him this season with the Texans as he looks to be a factor for the team and prove he can be a workhorse back in the NFL again. Houston made headlines earlier this offseason for trading elite wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona […]

Latavius Murray Could Be More Than Just Insurance Policy

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was a great insurance policy for starter Alvin Kamara last year. In the two games Kamara missed, Murray played at least 82 percent of the snaps and received at least 30 touches in both contests. That is a massive workload and makes Murray worth drafting simply for the […]

Alvin Kamara Should Be Top-Five Pick In All Formats

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is healthy after an injury-filled 2019 campaign. It's hard to believe, but Kamara finished as the RB9 last year in PPR formats, despite dealing with an ankle injury and a "torn knee." It's a testament to how good of a player he is and just how high his […]

Bryce Love Makes 53-Man Roster

Washington Football Team running back Bryce Love made the 53-man roster and will compete for carries in a backfield that also features rookie Antonio Gibson and veteran passing-downs back J.D. McKissic. Love missed all of 2019 with injuries but was a standout running back at Stanford and could find himself as the starting running back […]

Pierre Camus's 2020 All-Sleeper Team

What's fantasy football draft season without sleepers? Don't worry, I won't waste your time with some convoluted explanation of what constitutes a sleeper. That's because these picks were created with specific guidelines I was given, so it removed some of the brainwork required and left more in the tank for me to elaborate on why […]

Kerryon Johnson (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90-100 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~120 ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson saw his stock take a hit when his team used a second-round pick to select Georgia running back D'Andre Swift. Johnson has flashed plenty during his two seasons with the Lions but he has also struggled to stay on the […]

Antonio Gibson (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70-80 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~130 ANALYSIS:  Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson, who stood out in training camp, should be the biggest beneficiary of Adrian Peterson's release. The third-round draft pick is a pass-catching threat and is an excellent fit for the offense, according to Peterson himself. Washington also […]

Darrel Williams (RB, KC) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140-160 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~220 ANALYSIS: Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams is the clear No. 2 running back behind rookie Clyde Edwards-Helaire after two weeks of practices. A few weeks ago Damien Williams decided to opt out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns, elevating Darrel Williams' fantasy stock […]

Justin Carter's Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football

It's time for my favorite piece to write every year -- my bold predictions for the upcoming NFL season. Last year's bold predictions went...okay. I hit on Leonard Fournette becoming a receiving threat and was basically correct on Josh Allen, who was almost a top-five fantasy quarterback. My Albert Wilson take, however, was something we […]

Adrian Peterson Signs With Detroit

The Detroit Lions have signed free-agent running back Adrian Peterson to a one-year deal. Peterson was released by the Washington Football Team earlier in the week but the veteran wasn't out of work for very long. The veteran RB reportedly stated, "They're giving me an opportunity to play. I know coach (Darrell) Bevell from my […]

Chris Carson Has Not Heard About Contract Extension

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has not spoken with the team about a potential contract extension as he enters the final season of his rookie deal in 2020. Carson is expected to be the RB1 on Seattle and claims he is fully healed after missing a game late last season due to a hip […]

Rico Dowdle Makes The Team

Dallas Cowboys undrafted rookie running back Rico Dowdle has made the team as the third running back. He won't have much of a role behind Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard, but Dowdle could suddenly fall into fantasy relevance if either of the guys ahead of him gets hurt. Dowdle impressed enough in practice to have […]

Devonta Freeman Visiting Jaguars

Free-agent running back Devonta Freeman is visiting the Jacksonville Jaguars in hopes of finding a new home. The 28-year-old back was released by the Falcons in March, but still had a respectable year with them last season by compiling 184 rushes, 656 rush yards, two rushing touchdowns, 59 receptions, 70 targets, 410 receiving yards and […]

Chase Edmonds Could Be A Sneaky Late-Round Pick

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds was extremely effective in limited work last year. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry on 60 carries and 8.8 yards per reception on 12 receptions. While he's the clear No. 2 running back behind Kenyan Drake, Edmonds should still have plenty of opportunities to make plays this year, given […]

Kenyan Drake Returns To Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out about two weeks with what was described by head coach Kliff Kingsbury as "soreness" and "precautionary stuff." Drake made some sports writers and fantasy drafters nervous when he was spotted wearing a walking boot a couple weeks back. Drake said there was […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

D'Andre Swift (RB, DET) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~42 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~60 ANALYSIS: Swift has the best chance of the 2020 rookie backs to overtake Clyde Edwards-Helaire for the top spot in the best-newcomer leaderboards. He spent three years at Georgia, amassing 2,885 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns in his career as a Bulldog. His career 6.6 yards […]

Damien Harris (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~158 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Elephant in the room alert - Patriots running backs can't be trusted. Now that we've addressed the obvious issue, let's understand that this New England team will be unlike any we've seen in this millenium because this will be the first time Tom Brady isn't there. […]
