Last week, at the SiriusXM Studios in New York City, I joined 11 other notable industry standouts for the annual FLEX (Fantasy League of Experts) drafts. I was part of the 12-team Superflex Draft, which is for all intents and purposes, an unofficial two QB league. The FLEX drafts were created by top fantasy expert […]

Ravens Looking To Trade Kaare Vedvik For Draft Pick

Baltimore Ravens kicker Kaare Vedvik nailed four field goals in Thursday night's preseason game, including a 55-yarder. Kicker Justin Tucker is indisputably locked into his starting position as the most accurate kicker of all-time, so Vedvik is auditioning to fill a roster spot elsewhere. "I fully expect that he'll kick well enough for us to […]

Willie Snead Catches Preseason Touchdown

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson in Thursday's preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was Snead's only catch of the game. Snead was the team's leading receiver in 2018, but his role looks a lot less defined heading into this season. He'll likely be the […]

Chris Moore Has 48 Yards Against Jaguars

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore caught a 30-yard pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson on the Ravens' first drive of Thursday's preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He followed that up with an 18-yard reception from Jackson two drives later. Moore's 48 yards led the Ravens in this game, and his rapport with Jackson in […]

Miles Boykin Targeted Nine Times

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Miles Boykin was targeted nine times in Thursday's preseason win over the Jaguars, finishing with four catches for 39 yards. Boykin is expected to be a lock to make the team's final roster, so it'll be interesting to see if this level of usage keeps up as teams start to […]

Justice Hill Heavily Involved Against Jaguars

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Justice Hill saw plenty of action in Thursday's preseason win over the Jaguars, carrying the ball 10 times for 33 yards while catching two passes for 16 yards. The Ravens clearly wanted to see what Hill could do in this one, and while it wasn't the most impressive performance, it […]

Lamar Jackson Throws Touchdown In Preseason Opener

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson got to play a short time in Thursday's preseason rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and in that time Jackson was 4-for-6 throwing the ball for 59 yards and a touchdown pass to Willie Snead. Jackson didn't run the ball, as the team isn't going to put him in harm's way […]

Stop that Hype Train! Eric Ebron

It's been five seasons since Eric Ebron entered the NFL. Looking at his days in Detroit, who would have predicted he could put on such a great season with Indianapolis? After four years in the league, Ebron finally seemed to find his place. To call him a sleeper might be a stretch, but given his […]

How Useful Are Expert Mocks? A Side-by-Side Comparison

There are a lot of expert mock drafts out there. They're useful because they give you a good idea of who people who write about fantasy football are targeting. But there are a LOT more people who play fantasy football who aren't writers, and the drafts you actually do this month are bound to look […]

Nick Mariano's 2019 PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper has become a dirty word to me, as both writer and reader, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the article. […]

Justice Hill (RB, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall Current ADP: ~170 Last year, the Ravens run game was unlocked once Lamar Jackson took over as quarterback, with Gus Edwards rushing for 654 yards and a pair of touchdowns over the final seven games. Edwards was highly productive over that stretch, but there's a reason he finds himself virtually locked out of […]

How to Value 2019 QB/RB Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)

Dynasty franchises don't restart, they reload. Rookie drafts are meant to continually infuse youth to rosters and introduce the next generation of fantasy stars. Although this year wasn't rife with immediately impactful players at quarterback or running back, there is still value to be had if you know where to look. It's equally important for […]

How to Value 2019 WR/TE Rookies in Dynasty (Premium Content)

The dynasty world predictably revolves around youth. Often, draft picks are valued more than productive veteran players. For some, this is viewed as a practical way to build for the future. For others, it's just a matter of valuing talent and potential over all else. It's called Shiny New Toy syndrome. Regardless of the reason, […]

Spencer Aguiar's 2019 QB Projections and Rankings

I believe all leagues are different and understanding the rules and settings will always be the deciding factor, but an interesting dichotomy has taken place recently of when it is acceptable to draft your quarterback. I am of the mindset, like most people nowadays, that waiting is better, but are we beginning to reach a […]

Players to Prioritize in Standard Leagues but Fade in PPR

Some of us still really enjoy playing in standard leagues, even though standard scoring has become the villain of the fantasy world according to some people. My home league has played standard since it started and it's fun to have a league where I have to think about fantasy football in a completely different way. […]

Must-Own Breakout Running Backs with Late ADP

As fantasy football drafts get later and later, it gets more and more difficult to figure out who you should pick. Some people respond to this by saying "ehh, I'll just do whatever and figure things out on the waiver wire." And, well...yes, you're going to need to figure things out on the waiver wire […]

Latavius Murray (RB, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall Current ADP: ~100 Former Vikings back Latavius Murray has taken Mark Ingram's role in what was the NFL's best running back committee over the past two years, when the Ingram and Alvin Kamara duo was an incredibly lethal duo in real life and fantasy. But people have...well, they've just seemed […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Patrick Mahomes vs Baker Mayfield

A couple of big hitters to look at today. Young, talented and to some, brash. Both have supreme confidence but show it in different ways. Patrick Mahomes is coming off one of the greatest seasons of all-time for a player at the quarterback position. 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns is perfection by almost every measure. With […]

ADP Showdown - Odell Beckham vs Antonio Brown

Picture this, it's the beginning of September and you've just started your 2019 fantasy football draft. It's the middle of the second round, and you're looking to target a wide receiver. Two players you can look to find there are Odell Beckham Jr. of the Cleveland Browns and Antonio Brown of the Oakland Raiders. These […]

Marquise Brown Might Return Early Next Week

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) was able to do some light stretching work on the field at M&T Bank Stadium before training camp practice on Saturday. He is still not practicing, and remains on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list, but he might be cleared and activated as early as next week. The No. […]

Lamar Jackson Adds Muscle To His Frame

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said this week that he put on 17 pounds during the offseason. "Of muscle, not fat," Jackson said. He is looking to add a little muscle and strength to endure hits he is sure to take as a runner. The Ravens added plenty of offensive skill position players via free […]

Robert Griffin III Bangs Up Thumb In Practice

Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Robert Griffin III (thumb) suffered a hairline fracture to his right thumb when he banged it on the helmet of outside linebacker Tim Williams during practice on Saturday. RG3 went for an X-ray after practice, and the tests revealed the damage. He is expected to be sidelined four to eight weeks, […]

Best-Ball Sleepers - Who to Target Late in MFL10s

The popularity of Best-Ball leagues has skyrocketed in recent seasons. There are several reasons why this format provides appeal to a growing number of fantasy owners. This includes the ability to conclude all roster management for the season once your draft has been completed. But the elimination of all decision-making during the regular season also increases […]

Are You Ready for Football? Training Camp Storylines to Watch

Every year NFL training camp brings us plenty of stories to look at. There are position battles galore. Players threatening to hold out. And in some cases, straight up bad player takes to dig into. While the third of these can be the most comedic, Lizard people, dinosaurs not being real and the sun setting in […]

Alex Lewis Placed On PUP List By Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens placed offensive guard Alex Lewis (shoulder) on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list on Sunday. He is still recovering from shoulder surgery performed in January. Lewis has started 18 games over the past two seasons, but he was unable to perform during the offseason program. OG Jermaine Elumunor has been working […]

But while we're here and we're talking about all these dirty things, let's talk about running back committees. Are they good for fantasy owners? Nah. Are they a […]
