Keenan Allen (WR, SD) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 5-6 as a potential WR2. CURRENT ADP: 54.3 standard/48.8 PPR ANALYSIS: Allen will bounce back from a disappointing sophomore season to re-establish himself as a top-24 fantasy receiver.

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

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 4-6 Current ADP: 56 STD, 49 PPR ANALYSIS: Alex Smith's super conservative pass attack has had a lot to do with a dreadful receiver corps. Smith has never had a 1,000-yard receiver over one season, but in his final sixteen games as a starter with the 49ers between 2011-12, Michael […]

Dynasty Rookie Profile: Tennessee Titans WR Dorial Green-Beckham

The Tennessee Titans clearly held offense as a priority headed into 2015 NFL Draft, and took wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham with the 40th-overall pick after drafting quarterback Marcus Mariota in the first. The plan is for the two college stand-outs to mature together and establish themselves as the core of an offense on the rise, […]

Fantasy Football Stock Rising / Falling After Preseason Week 3

The third week of the preseason is usually the most important. For the most part, this is the one week where coaches keep their starters in for an extended period of time and we get a long look at the first team offense. That held true this past week. By my count we saw 17 […]

Four Deeper Sleepers to Target in 2015 Fantasy Football Drafts

I love late round fliers. What’s not to like? They are your last few picks on draft day (besides DEF/K) so there is very little risk involved, and if they hit, you look like a fantasy football genius. If they don’t hit, you just cut them and move on to the hot waiver pickup of the […]

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 9-10 Current ADP: 121 STD, 104 PPR ANALYSIS: With Kelvin Benjamin injured, Devin Funchess is going to be one of the focal points of Carolina's offense.

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 15-16 Current ADP: 205 STD, 167 PPR ANALYSIS: In the midst of Odell Beckham Jr's insane rookie season, Reuben Randle had himself a mini breakout of his own as the Giants WR2. Randle posted a respectable line of 71-938-3, which put him as the WR35 for the season. Last season, he had […]

For the Third Year in a Row, SF WR Anquan Boldin is a Sleeper

DeVante Parker, Amari Cooper, Martavis Bryant, Nelson Agholor, Devin Funchess...what do these guys have in common? They are all projected to score more points at the wide receiver position this season than Anquan Boldin and I just don't get it. I guess if you want your fellow league mates to pat you on the back, […]

Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Very Late Rounds Current ADP: 253 STD, 260 PPR ANALYSIS: Cole Beasley finally found his role in the offense towards the end of last season. More than half of his regular season receptions and all of his touchdowns came between Weeks 12 and 17. He saw his targets jump from 2.1 a […]

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 […]

Marques Colston (WR, NO) – 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Middle rounds as a FLEX play. CURRENT ADP: 104 STD, 103 PPR ANALYSIS: Has age caught up with Marques Colston? Last season he posted career lows in receptions and yards per game. He did catch five touchdown passes, but that too tied a career low. If you feel like he’s lost a step, don’t […]

Is Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders Doomed to Regress in 2015?

Last season Emmanuel Sanders had his best season of his career but don't come expecting a repeat this year. Currently Sanders draft ADP has him placed at 34th overall and 15th out of all wideouts in standard formats. With that current spot he's ranked higher than the likes of Jordan Matthews, Andre Johnson, Russell Wilson just to […]

Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 8-9 Current ADP: 95 STD, 88 PPR ANALYSIS: Former superstar Larry Fitzgerald is getting older and will likely lose a lot of target to Michael Floyd and John Brown, but that doesn't mean he has quite faded into fantasy irrelevance. Fitzgerald’s numbers were lackluster in 2014, mostly due to the […]

BALLER MOVE: Target ~120 overall ADP: Standard #160, PPR #139 ANALYSIS: The Raiders in 2014 had a leading receiver that only had 73 receptions and six receiving touchdowns.
