The Cut List – Who to Drop for Week 6?

In recent seasons, it feels as though the NFL is becoming more and more pass-heavy with each passing – ha! – year. This 2022 NFL season has certainly given off some different vibes, however. Last year, there were nine quarterbacks who had a PPG average of 20 or more. Through five weeks, there are just […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 5

Holy T.J. Hockenson! With Amon-Ra St. Brown, D.J. Chark, and D'Andre Swift all out of the lineup, Hockenson was given 12 targets from quarterback, Jared Goff. He turned those targets into 8 receptions, 179 yards, and 2 touchdowns. Opportunity and volume continue to be king for this position. It's not something most tight ends are […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 4

We all know who the elite tight ends are. You didn’t come here for me to tell you about how awesome Mark Andrews, Travis Kelce, and Dallas Goedert are. This is well known. It’s well documented. Even guys like Darren Waller, George Kittle, and Kyle Pitts, guys who have disappointed a bit so far, you only […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For NFL WRs: Week 4 Updates for Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jaylen Waddle, Keenan Allen, Chris Godwin

While we've become accustomed to the running back position dealing with injuries, so far this season, it's been the receivers who have been hit hard. In Week 3, fantasy managers had to deal with star second-year receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown leaving the contest multiple times to deal with a sprained ankle and his status for […]

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Week 4?

We've all heard the, "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" statement, but no fantasy football roster is ever perfect. Fantasy managers should constantly be tinkering with the bottom of their roster. Don't be afraid of making moves and part of that is figuring out who is cuttable. All of these start/sit and who to […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 3

One of the hardest things to do in fantasy football, especially in the early part of the season, is determining what data is real and what isn’t. Small samples can create buying windows and sinkholes – all you have to do is bet correctly. Simple, right? Nothing is ever as simple as it seems. That’s […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For NFL WRs: Week 3 Updates for Jerry Jeudy, Gabe Davis, Michael Pittman, Keenan Allen, Chris Godwin

The injuries, like they do every year, are starting to pile up. Although we've been accustomed to running backs being the most injury-inflicted position, it might just be the receivers early. Guys like Keenan Allen, Michael Pittman Jr., Chris Godwin, Gabriel Davis, and Michael Gallup have already missed games. Tee Higgins and Jerry Jeudy have […]

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Week 3?

Chicago, we have a problem. I'm pretty sure that's the saying because ladies and gentlemen, the Chicago Bears officially have an offensive problem. After two weeks, fantasy managers are left wondering just how many players actually need to be rostered. Despite the monsoon they were forced to endure in Week 1, the question may be […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts for Fantasy Football – Cracking the Code for Week 2

Last year I approached RotoBaller asking to write a weekly tight end article on their utilization metrics, hoping to find some underlining hints on certain players that might pop in the future or that we should be writing off.

Week One is officially in the books. After an excruciatingly long summer, NFL football is finally back.

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For NFL WRs: Week 1 Updates for Tee Higgins, Allen Lazard, Deebo Samuel, Kadarius Toney, Jaylen Waddle

As exciting as it is to officially have football back – and it most certainly is awesome – but fantasy managers will quickly be reminded that now injuries, practice participation, and the dreaded questionable tag will loom over us all every Monday-Sunday until February. It’s a small price to pay for finally having the NFL […]

Don't Stop Believing in Clyde Edwards-Helaire

At this point, it’s no mystery the Kansas City Chiefs made a mistake when they took Clyde Edwards-Helaire over Jonathan Taylor and D’Andre Swift. That much is crystal clear. Despite that, however, it doesn’t mean Edwards-Helaire is worthless in fantasy football. He has a lot of things working against him and not all of them […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster (WR, KC) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~50 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~75 ANALYSIS: Everyone is so focused on JuJu Smith-Schuster's last three seasons, but let's add a little context to these numbers. In 2019, JuJu missed four games and finished with a disappointing stat line of just 40 receptions, 552 yards, and three touchdowns. However, to be fair, […]

NFL Players on New Teams Ready to Break Out for 2022 Fantasy Football

Every year, free agency sends shockwaves through the fantasy football community. During the offseason, these moves tend to be magnified because there are so few things for fantasy managers to be focused on. Every once in a while, a free agency move can send a player's value skyrocketing. Sometimes these moves are due to an […]

Running Backs Targets for Zero-RB Fantasy Football Drafts (2022)

There are so many different fantasy football draft strategies nowadays, but no other strategy comes with as much scrutiny and judgment as the zero-running back strategy. For the longest time, the running back position was widely accepted as the most important position in fantasy football. For some, that’s still very much the case. However, with […]

NFL Rookies Most Likely to Make Fantasy Football Impacts (And Those Who Won't)

Adam Thielen (WR, MIN) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~62 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~71 ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers are likely cautious around Thielen because he was injured last year and is 32 years old. Those are all valid reasons, but WR34? In the last five years, he’s been a top-15 receiver four times. In fact, you might be surprised to find out […]

DJ Moore (WR, CAR) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~30 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~42 ANALYSIS: People are underestimating Baker Mayfield. We forget that he played the majority of 2021 with a torn shoulder labrum that frequently became dislocated. Not only that, but Kareem Hunt missed nine games, Jarvis Landry missed four, and Odell Beckham Jr. only played six games before […]

Drake London (WR, ATL) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~93 ANALYSIS: The receiver depth chart is barren in Atlanta. It includes names like Auden Tate and Olamide Zaccheaus. The Falcons have over 280 vacated targets last season with the loss of, most notably, Mike Davis, Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage, Hayden Hurst, and Tajae Sharpe. They combined […]

Treylon Burks (WR, TEN): 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~97 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~104 ANALYSIS: A.J. Brown was traded during the first round of the NFL Draft and the Titans immediately selected his replacement, who just so happens to be someone many people is a clone of himself, Treylon Burks. The Titans also signed Austin Hooper and traded for Robert […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV): 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~98 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~109 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was given a gift this offseason when the new front office regime promptly sent their first and second-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for wide receiver Davante Adams. The pair are now reunited from […]

Breece Hall (RB, NYJ): 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~28 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~38 ANALYSIS: Draft capital speaks volumes. As well as Carter played as a rookie, at the end of the day, he was a fourth-round pick and those players are always at risk of being upgraded. We know Hall is going to handle the vast majority of early-down […]

Chase Edmonds (RB, MIA) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~65 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~84 ANALYSIS: If you're looking to try a Zero-RB strategy in 2022, Edmonds needs to be on your draft board. He's another running back who fits the more prototypical Zero-RB target we want to target because of his role in the passing game. The Dolphins made Edmonds […]

7 Bold Predictions for the 2022 Fantasy Football Season

Everyone likes bold predictions. Whether that’s because they like glancing at unexpected, but technically possible outcomes or because they like getting worked up over the absurdity of the bold predictions, I have no idea. If I were a betting man, which I am, I lean towards the latter. With that mindset, I fully embrace the […]

Boom or Bust Wide Receivers for 2022 Fantasy Football Drafts

We’re here looking for the next Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson. The kind of guys who will help win and lose fantasy football seasons this year. The reality is, we’re very unlikely to have any players who end up in the same stratosphere of season Kupp and Robinson had last year, but that doesn’t mean […]

Must-Have Quarterbacks for 2022 Fantasy Football Drafts

It wasn’t long ago since fantasy analysts were telling everyone to wait on the quarterback position. There are so many of them, just wait. Over the past few years with the explosion of passing offenses and rise in rushing quarterbacks, the strategy and how we approach this position is changing. That’s a great thing because […]
