Nick Mariano 4 years agoZack Moss (RB, BUF) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~108 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~123 ANALYSIS: The Bills drafted Zack Moss with the 86th overall pick of the 2020 draft, making the Utah product a third-rounder in doing so. In the past 10 years, 18 of 25 third-round RBs have rushed the ball 70+ times in their rookie years, so chances are that […]

Nick Mariano 4 years agoPreston Williams (WR, MIA) - Wide Receiver Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~114 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~136 ANALYSIS: Williams had a memorable rookie campaign, racking up 428 yards and three touchdowns across eight games in 2019.

Nick Mariano 4 years agoDaniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~108 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~126 ANALYSIS: Jones took over for Eli Manning after two games last season, parlaying his NFL baptism into a respectable 24 TDs and 61.9% completion rate despite a hobbled Saquon Barkley that didn't help keep defenses honest that much. The rookie shouldered some rushing responsibility with 279 yards and […]
Nick Mariano 4 years agoMatthew Stafford (QB, DET) - Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~107 ANALYSIS: The Lions drafted D’Andre Swift to bolster their RB stable but this team still goes through Stafford’s arm.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~152 ANALYSIS: The Titans rode Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown to the playoffs last season and vice-versa, but their 2017 third-round pick could make noise in 2020.
