While talent on the offensive line is important, […]

Deshaun Watson Makes 53-Man Roster

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson made the 53-man roster Tuesday.

The New Orleans Saints have released quarterback Trevor Siemian, but the plan is to re-sign him later in the week, according to Tom Pelissero.

Carolina Panthers quarterback P.J. Walker will be the team's backup signal-caller in 2021. Walker was competing with 2019 third-round pick Will Grier, who the team left off the 53-man roster Tuesday, meaning the team will proceed with just two quarterbacks in the meantime. The 26-year-old Walker made a name for himself in the XFL, posting […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~73 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~83 ANALYSIS: Joe Burrow was averaging just under 18 fantasy points per game in 2020 before going down with a torn ACL in Week 10.

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~155 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS: The Giants added Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney, and Kyle Rudolph this offseason, and all three should really help their third-year quarterback produce in 2021.
