Must-Have Tight Ends

In fantasy football, understanding the importance of the tight end position can provide an enormous edge when it comes to fantasy scoring. Since 2018, there have been a total of 11 tight ends that have exceeded 200 fantasy points a year. Three of them belong to Travis Kelce. Two of them belong to Darren Waller, […]

It's essential to have […]

NFL Prop Bet Essentials for 2021

The countdown to NFL kickoff is on. This means that not only is it time to release my favorite fantasy players for 2021, but it’s also time to dive into my favorite season-long prop bets. Personally, I love season-long wagers. Yes, injuries can derail what may be a surefire season; however, if you really believe […]

Ellis' Essential Players for 2021

The 2021 season is coming in hot and it’s flag-planting time in the fantasy community. This year, I am very grateful to be doing the weekly RotoBaller Thursday Night Preview, as well as season-long FantasyPros Expert Consensus Ranking and True North Fantasy Football content creator. Before I get into some of my favorite players for […]

Deeper Tight End Sleepers to Target

With two weeks until the start of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are moving from participating in best-ball leagues to starting to prepare for redraft and home leagues. However, that doesn't have to mean you give up on some of your favorite sleepers. I've been pretty consistent in arguing that the term sleeper is […]

Offensive Line Champs and Chumps for 2021

Since offensive linemen don’t generate fantasy points, a lot of fantasy gamers overlook their impact when it comes to drafts. However, knowing the talent at the offensive line can be crucial when you start making decisions between players at a certain tier or in a certain round. While talent on the offensive line is important, […]

Five Running Back Sleepers to Target

Players from all 32 teams have reported to their training camps, which has inspired many fantasy managers to increase their participation in best-ball leagues. Some of you are also preparing your strategy for upcoming drafts in redraft leagues. It is highly recommended that you remain flexible in your decision-making based upon the flow of every […]

Defense (DST) Draft Sleepers for Fantasy Football

I think we often get the term "sleeper" confused. A lot of the rhetoric around "sleepers" seems to center on the long-shots who might hit big and bring you massive value something close to a late-round dart throw. However, I think "sleepers" are simply just players being "slept on" or not getting enough respect. Obviously, […]

All-Sleeper Team - 2021 Fantasy Football

Imagine if you had to draft a fantasy football team but could only pick players from the 10th round on. That's the exercise I undertook once again. Last year, I put forth my All-Sleeper Team based on a submission to an expert ranker platform and this will be a reprisal of that column updated for […]

NFL Preseason and Training Camp Risers

Training camp presents fantasy football drafters with an overwhelming amount of praise at times. By now you've likely heard that everyone is in the best shape of their life, every single rookie is expected to play a big role, and everyone is shaping up to be a steal in drafts. Sifting through all of the […]

David Montgomery Is Still Being Slept On

It’s 2021 and running backs could very well be the most difficult position in fantasy football to solve on your roster. 10 years ago, you could just draft two running backs in the first two rounds no matter who it was, and barring injuries, you were in the clear. Now, with the rise in production […]

D.J. Chark is the Jaguars Receiver You Want

Why is D.J. Chark not receiving more fantasy love? Not only is he not receiving the kind of fanfare he should be, but there are some who believe Laviska Shenault Jr. will be the Jaguars' No. 1 wide receiver in 2021. That's certainly a possibility, but fantasy managers need to remember just how good Chark […]

Henry Ruggs III - 2021 Breakout Candidate

Henry Ruggs III was the first receiver picked in the 2020 draft to the surprise of many. Although he didn't live up to expectations in his rookie season, there are reasons for optimism when it comes to the speedy Raiders wideout. Going into year two, Ruggs is ready to take on a bigger role, and […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in a lot better shape heading into the 2021 NFL season than they were at the end of the 2020 season, and that bodes well for the fantasy futures of their skill-position players. Laviska Shenault Jr. was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Jaguars because […]

Jalen Reagor – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Jalen Reagor did not show fantasy football general managers much in 2020, but the same will not hold true in 2021. The Philadelphia Eagles’ former first-round pick was supposed to kickstart their pass-catching corps and give fantasy footballers a speedy slot receiver who could be useful in standard and dynasty leagues. Instead, Reagor gave fantasy […]

Gerald Everett - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Gerald Everett was stuck in a tight end timeshare as part of an offense whose passing attack rarely focused on its tight ends. Not anymore. Everett took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks as soon as he could leave the Los Angeles Rams this offseason. He is now a multimillionaire member of Russell Wilson’s receiving […]

Irv Smith Jr. Is the Sleeper TE to Target

After a dominant junior season at Alabama in 2018, the Minnesota Vikings made Irv Smith Jr. the 50th overall pick in the 2019 draft, and the draft capital attached to his name brought lofty expectations. Smith's talent was evident when he ran a 4.63 40-yard-dash at the 2019 NFL Combine, second among top tight end […]

Darnell Mooney - 2021 Fantasy Sleeper

Training camp activities are continuing for all 32 teams and we have reached the onset of preseason matchups.

Terrace Marshall Jr. - Star Rising Already

Today's fantasy football profile will take a look at rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. by looking at his positives, his concerns, and a variety of other important information in determining his fantasy outlook for 2021. He's been sliding under the radar for most of the offseason, but is it justified to pass on him in […]

Sony Michel to Rams - Fantasy Impact

The Los Angeles Rams struck a deal to acquire Patriots RB Sony Michel this past week, a move that made sense for both sides. On the Rams’ side, they lost starting RB Cam Akers to an Achilles injury, which will cause him to miss 2021. For the Pats, they have a stable of backs who […]

Path to TE1: T.J. Hockenson

Just two years ago, the Lions used the eighth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to select Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson. In 2021, we're talking about Hockenson potentially taking that next step into the elite tier of tight ends. It might be hard to supplant Travis Kelce, Darren Waller, or George Kittle at […]

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Too many people spend prep on their early picks and then reflexively take familiar names late, but those guys rarely deliver championships. Instead, let’s discuss some late-round fliers at running back, wide receiver, and tight end that are worth taking due to their upside, but […]
