Austin Seferian-Jenkins (TE, TB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds as TE2 CURRENT ADP: 219 STD, 149 PPR ANALYSIS: Austin Seferian-Jenkins didn’t do a whole lot as a rookie, but tight ends often take two to three years to produce relevant fantasy numbers. In the last five years, only five rookie tight ends have surpassed the 500-yard mark. Similarly, only three rookie tight […]

Baltimore Ravens: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

The Baltimore Ravens are a bit of a strange team to analyze for fantasy purposes this year. This is a team that pretty much has a little bit of everything; a polarizing quarterback in Joe Flacco, a surprising running back from 2014 in Justin Forsett, some turnover at the wide receiver position, and a need […]

Tennessee Titans: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Is there a franchise with more trendy rookie sleepers than the Tennessee Titans over the last few years? Seemingly every year the Titans happen to draft a player that generates buzz. Whether it’s Bishop Sankey or Justin Hunter, someone always ends up in Tennessee with fantasy hype, and this year is no different. You'll notice […]

2015 Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Rankings: 13-18

Every player is ranked based off traits of their college tape and ceiling plays a big role but so does that players chance of just succeeding at any start-able level. Things like team situations, supporting casts, injuries, and off-field concerns play no part in the rankings, since the fact of the matter is no one outside […]

Green Bay Packers: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

I don’t think I’m revealing any sort of groundbreaking insight by stating that the Green Bay Packers are by far the greatest source of fantasy production in the NFL. Still, there are some things to sort out in regard to the big four of Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and Eddie Lacy. It’s not really […]

Ladarius Green (TE, SD) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds Current ADP: 165 STD, 158 PPR ANALYSIS: Maybe everyone was a year too early on Ladarius Green. The hype train got a little out of control by the end of the 2014 preseason and Green was being taken over Antonio Gates a lot of the time! Green did put up some ridiculous […]

Tyler Eifert (TE, CIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds Current ADP: 132 STD, 116 PPR ANALYSIS: Tyler Eifert is another player whose value has suffered as a result of injuries. Eifert played just eight snaps before suffering a dislocated elbow, ending his season. It’s a shame because Eifert was set to play an increased role in the Bengals offense and […]

Jordan Reed (TE, WAS) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds Current ADP: 162 STD, 147 PPR ANALYSIS: Fantasy owners tend to avoid the guys with glaring issues that might make them look foolish such as old players and high injury risks. So much so that these players often come at an extreme bargain and don’t always fall into their seemingly obvious pitfalls. […]

San Diego Chargers: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers used to be one of the more reliable sources for fantasy points. Players have come and gone in San Diego, with really only Rivers and tight end Antonio Gates remaining. Even with a dip in production across the board, this is a team that has managed to stay […]

Top Tight End Sleepers for Fantasy Football in 2015

Tight end is shallow even for the smallest of leagues.  Let’s take a look at some sleepers for 8-12 man leagues at the tight end spot who could potentially put up TE1 numbers. Editor’s Note: If you’re looking for a new, awesome, highly customizable and free option for year-round commissioner & dynasty leagues, something more […]

Fantasy Football 12-Team Mock Draft: Results and Reactions

I recently did a mock draft on ESPN, and I thought I would share the results here and discuss some of the picks I liked and didn’t like. I’ll only discuss the first 12 rounds, as after that some people auto-drafted or took defenses and kickers (as many casual players are wont to do). My […]

Chicago Bears: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

To say that the Chicago Bears had a disappointing 2014 season would be a massive understatement. In just two short seasons, head coach Marc Trestman went from quarterback guru to “get him out of here, now!” status. The team has even departed with longtime wide receiver Brandon Marshall. You would think the last two years […]

Kyle Rudolph (TE, MIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds as High-End TE2 Current ADP: 165 STD, 147 PPR ANALYSIS: Although Minnesota is still looking for everything to come together for the injury-prone Kyle Rudolph, the immense size and upside are still there. Rudolph is 6’6” and 260 lbs-- making him a terrifying red zone threat. Between his foot injury […]

Houston Texans: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

It wasn’t that long ago that the Houston Texans were a trendy pick to make the AFC Championship game with some even projecting a Super Bowl appearance. It’s been a long time since and the only true piece remaining in Houston is running back Arian Foster. If anything, the team’s drop in real-life hype has […]

Deep Sleeper: Tampa Bay Tight End Austin Seferian-Jenkins

As a rookie, Austin Seferian-Jenkins (ASJ for short) didn’t do a whole lot, but that shouldn’t surprise you. Tight ends are notorious for taking 2-3 years to start putting up relevant fantasy numbers. In the last five years we’ve only seen five rookie tight ends surpass the 500 yard mark and none had more than Tim […]

Three Sleeper Tight Ends to Target in Deeper Leagues

If you find yourself in a 14+ team league, or in a TE premium league (start 2 TEs or give 1.5 PPR to TEs only) it looks like a good year to wait on the position in the draft. There are a lot of guys outside the top ten which offer plenty of upside. If […]

Tight End Zach Ertz, the Post-Hype Sleeper of 2015

2014 was a rough year for breakout tight ends.  Zach Ertz, Jordan Cameron, Charles Clay, Tyler Eifert, Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis, Kyle Rudolph, Dennis Pitta, Ladarius Green and more failed to reach their preseason expectations, whether it was due to poor play, injury, or a lack of talent around them. Ertz himself is an interesting […]

2015 NFL Fantasy Draft Strategy: Zero Wide Receivers

I’m not the type of person to commonly use a specific draft strategy. I like to stress letting the value come to you. It helps that I have my own rankings and I can work off of those for every draft. In using my own rankings, I find myself going running back heavy early and […]

Carolina Panthers: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Ever since Cam Newton entered the league in 2011, the Carolina Panthers have had one of the more exciting offenses both in real-life football and in fantasy. The Panthers have even managed to make the playoffs the last two years in spite of Newton’s dip in volume numbers. Between the addition of Kelvin Benjamin and […]

Buffalo Bills: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Hear that sound? That’s Rex Ryan yammering about how good the Bills are going to be all the way from New York to Buffalo. Jokes aside, the Buffalo Bills should be a much-improved team in the upcoming season. New head coach Rex Ryan might get picked on for how boisterous he was while coaching the New […]

Can Vikings Tight End Kyle Rudolph Be Your Sleeper TE in 2015?

In most fantasy football leagues, managers only need to draft one tight end. Something tells me I’m going to struggle when deciding which one to target. Since writing a recent article on Travis Kelce and how he should continue to improve this year, I’ve found that I’m also in love with Kyle Rudolph. Not only […]

St. Louis Rams: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Let’s face it, the St. Louis Rams don’t exactly boast the flashiest offense in the NFL. Between the derailment of the Tavon Austin hype train and an unexpected quarterback carousel, the Rams have been nothing more than forgettable since the start of last season. That being said, the team’s ground game is a major point […]

Arizona Cardinals: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

The Arizona Cardinals made an expected leap within in the NFC in the 2014 season. Unfortunately, injuries just hammered the roster resulting in the Cardinals going out with a whimper rather than a bang. There’s reason for optimism, however, as the team should be healthier heading into 2015. A clean bill of health might be […]

Travis Kelce (TE, KC) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as TE1 CURRENT ADP: 54 STD, 49 PPR ANALYSIS: Travis Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, but his opportunity for Gronk-like targets is increasing, as well. In 2014, Kelce reeled in 67 catches for 862 yards and five touchdowns, despite a slow […]

Draft Strategy: Avoid Tight Ends Playing with Rookie Quarterbacks

Do Rookie QBs Lead to Increased Tight End Production? The entrance of a new rookie QB to a team tends to start a flurry of wild projections. A common fantasy myth that's gone around every year is that young QB's will spend more time playing scared and conservatively, therefore increasing the volume of checkdowns given to […]

Why Travis Kelce Will Be The Next Great Fantasy Tight End

Those who were big into fantasy football analysis this time last year heard far-off whispers that Travis Kelce might be the next big tight end to make a fantasy impact. This year, those whispers have turned into full-on roars from the tops of tall buildings. Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob […]
