Anthony Miller - 2020 Fantasy Football Sleeper
After a good season by Chicago Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky in 2018, the optimism was high for WR Anthony Miller heading into 2019.

We all know the big names that dominated their positions last year: Lamar Jackson, Michael Thomas, Christian McCaffrey, and Travis Kelce were league-leaders and often league-winners for a lot of fantasy managers.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~160 ANALYSIS: Washington drafted Antonio Gibson in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft and declared him a pro-running back going forward.

Hours before the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, Aaron Rodgers told Pat McAfee on radio that the Packers have not taken a skill position player in 15 years. He said he would be happy with any skill player at this point. Well, he got his wish, sort of. Instead of taking a player […]
Dominick Petrillo 5 years agoEarly 2020 Sleepers: Wide Receiver
The rookie class is great for receivers in 2020. At least this is what we have been told. Until we can see them in action, I will hold judgment. It was only a few years ago when the same was said for Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson. So, color me skeptical until it […]
Dominick Petrillo 5 years agoEarly 2020 Breakouts: Running Back
Breakouts happen every season for fantasy football. Sometimes they are expected and other times they are complete surprises. If you have one of these players, it is even more exciting than hitting on a first-round pick. If you are going against one of these players, it is like drafting David Johnson in the first round. […]

We all remember what happened last season in Cleveland. The excitement was there and so were the weapons. Or so we thought. As with anything in life, things do not always turn out the way we think they will. The team which is supposed to win doesn’t. The player who was supposed to make the […]

A week into the NFL Free Agency period, veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders signed with the New Orleans Saints. This doesn't appear to be a major move in the grand scheme of things, but it is important to analyze, both for the Saints and for Sanders himself. One clear benefit is that Sanders will be playing with one […]

The deal is done. No, not a deal to make Tom Brady the quarterback of the Titans. He prefers Florida apparently. Instead, it is the deal to keep Ryan Tannehill with the team for four more seasons at $118 million. Not only did this move make the most sense but it also freed up the […]

In a shocking move at the start of the NFL offseason, the Texans traded star wideout DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for running back David Johnson and a swap of draft picks.

What a difference a year can make. This time last season, JuJu Smith-Schuster was a first-round dynasty draft pick.

Another season has passed and another disappointment by Browns fans has been realized. Baker Mayfield got the head coach he wanted in Freddie Kitchens in 2019.

The Saints are coming off a hard-fought loss to the 49ers. It was an amazing game that featured no defense whatsoever.
