BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you saw anything regarding the Week 1 Titans on social media, it was probably how Tyjae Spears out-snapped Derrick Henry, 34 to 30.

Nick Mariano 1 year agoRashee Rice (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Thursday Night Football feels like eons ago, but you’ll recall Rashee Rice caught 3-of-5 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown while Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore looked horrendous. The Chiefs need a wide receiver or two to step up as a reliable option alongside Travis Kelce, […]

Nick Mariano 1 year agoNick Mariano's PPR Draft Sleepers List for Fantasy Football - Samaje Perine, Rashee Rice, Jayden Reed, Tyjae Spears, more
The term "Sleeper" is thrown around more haphazardly than a Mitchell Trubisky out route, 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. In my mind, we need to head outside of the […]

Nick Mariano PREMIUM 1 year ago2023 Draft Sleepers List for Fantasy Football Drafts - Anthony Richardson, Jerome Ford, Nico Collins, more
Sleeper is a term that's become almost mythical these days. It can mean 10 different things to 10 different people. We each need to define it, as a "sleeper" to a 10-team drafter will be obvious to someone prepping for a 14-teamer. I'll try to dig beyond the top-12 QB/TE choices, as well as the […]

Nick Mariano 1 year agoChase Claypool (WR, CHI): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~196 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~235 ANALYSIS: The Bears traded the eventual 32nd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft for Chase Claypool just last year, which (hopefully) hints at a larger vision for the versatile threat. Not only did he top 850 receiving yards in his first two seasons, but he’d chipped […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~198 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~210 ANALYSIS: Many of y’all are acting like you forgot about Irv Smith Jr. I can see why, as the 6’2” TE tore his meniscus in the 2021 preseason and missed the entire campaign.
