How Ben Roethlisberger's Injury Impacts The Steelers

Are Your Steelers Still Valuable Without Big Ben? The worst nightmare of every Pittsburgh fan (and Ben Roethlisberger owner) became a stark reality Sunday afternoon. Everything about it screamed "season-ending". There was the sack by Mark Barron, illegal but not intentional in nature, vaguely reminiscent of similar tackles which chopped down Carson Palmer and Tom Brady […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 3: Josh Robinson, Rishard Matthews, Scott Chandler

Week 2 is the in books and a lot of strange things have happened already. DeMarco Murray, an early-round pick, has rushed for only 11 yards this season. Meanwhile, Travis Benjamin, who went mostly undrafted, has three receiving TDs on only six receptions. It may be time to get some sleepers on your roster as […]

Deeper PPR Lineup Sleepers for Week 2: Karlos Williams, Cole Beasley, Jared Cook

Week 1 of this brand new NFL season is already in the books, and injuries and other issues may be keeping your drafted starters out for this week's games.

Fantasy Football Week 1 Boom and Bust Candidates for the Early Games

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – football is finally here. The beginning of fantasy football brings with it hope for every team out there, as everyone is 0-0 and full of potential. It’s also a time when fantasy owners may be having delusions of grandeur about how good their draft was and […]

Jeremy Maclin (WR, Chiefs) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target In Rd 4/5 As WR2 CURRENT ADP: Overall #56, WR #25 ANALYSIS: Alex Smith made 18 throws against the Titans and completed 16 of them in week three of preseason.

Why DeAndre Hopkins Can Be Even Better in 2015

DeAndre Hopkins is the ideal draft value for me this year.  One main reason is he will no longer be under the shadow of Andre Johnson and be the true #1 WR for the Houston Texans. With Johnson going to the Colts, I expect that Hopkins will see an increase in targets and overall numbers from […]

Five Wide Receivers Primed for More Touchdowns in 2015

Touchdowns can be a fickle thing. In 2010 Dwayne Bowe led all receivers with a whopping fifteen touchdowns. In four mostly full seasons since, he has had a combined thirteen scores. As I’m sure most of you remember, that included zero last year from him and the rest of the Kansas City wide receivers. Even […]

2015 Deep PPR Sleeper: Browns WR Andrew Hawkins

I’ll start this by saying that Andrew Hawkins is definitely exclusive to deeper leagues and PPR leagues. He provides some sneaky value and showed that last year right up to the point that target-hog Josh Gordon and poor excuse for a football player Johnny Manziel sapped his late season value. Prior to that, the 5’7” […]

Mike Wallace is an Undervalued Wide Receiver in 2015

When Mike Wallace was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, I didn’t see this as a negative. Apparently I am in the minority here as Wallace’s ADP sits outside the top 30 wide receivers at WR31. Most FantasyPros experts like him even less with two thirds of all experts ranking him worse than his ADP! Keep […]

Miami Dolphins Sign Wide Receiver Greg Jennings

After shipping Mike Wallace off to Minnesota, the Miami Dolphins have signed Greg Jennings to a two-year contract worth $8 million. Which essentially means Mike Wallace and Greg Jennings were inadvertently traded for each other via wonky means. The Dolphins have been anything but quiet this off-season, acquiring the likes of star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, tight end […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in deep leagues OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS:  With all the preseason buzz about Rueben Randle this season it's easy to call him a 'bust' on many levels.  Throughout the season Randle has disappointed consistently with few highlights and fewer TDs.  However, in week 16 Randle finally put together a game that […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 67% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: For those of you who remember last year, Josh Gordon, was the number 1 fantasy football wide receiver in points.  This year he has been sidelined by a suspension which was for the whole season.  Due to this information many fantasy owners did […]

Oakland Raiders: 2014 Fantasy Football Analysis & Team Outlook

There are very few teams that can comfortably be eliminated from the playoff conversation in August. I am starting to think Oakland is one of those rare teams that have no shot. To compound the point, their team has little to no fantasy value. I'm not sure whether to analyze the players or make fun […]
