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 […]

Kansas City Chiefs: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

Coming off of a year in which they didn’t throw a single touchdown pass to a wide receiver, the Kansas City Chiefs brought in Jeremy Maclin in the hopes of boosting the offense. Alex Smith may not be the most spectacular quarterback in the NFL, but between the addition of Maclin, superstar running back Jamaal Charles, […]

Indianapolis Colts: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

The Indianapolis Colts are firmly in the conversation for the most fantasy relevant team in the entire NFL. Between them, the Packers, Steelers, Broncos, and a few others, they possess some of the most obvious automatic starters in any sized league. There are few teams that can afford to lose talent at skill positions and […]

Pierre Garcon's Fantasy Value Slipping By No Fault Of His Own

I feel like Pierre Garcon is one of those wide receivers that is universally rooted for by both the NFL and fantasy football community. Garcon was a sixth-round pick out Mount Union College (one of the strongest Division III programs in the United States), he was an up-and-coming part of an Indianapolis Colts team led […]

DeSean Jackson Has No Time For Your Mediocre Skills, Top NFL Cornerbacks

So, this happened… Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson went on record and explained to the NFL world how good he thinks he is and there’s not anyone in the league that could cover him. Richard Sherman? Nope. Darrelle Revis? Not a chance. A cheetah wearing a Dick LeBeau Halloween face-mask? Never. That’s right – […]

Dez Bryant Pulls Hamstring, Listed Day-to-Day

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and all around modest guy Dez Bryant is listed as Day-to-Day after missing Saturday’s practice with a hamstring strain, but fantasy owners and Cowboys fans shouldn’t piss their pants yet. Bryant is a known offensive weapon when playing up to par, however, if the WR should miss any more time, the […]

Andrew Hawkins (WR, CLE) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds in PPR Leagues CURRENT ADP: 245 STD, 254 PPR ANALYSIS: In 2014, Andrew Hawkins saw at least eight targets in eight of the first nine games in which he played-- totaling 45 receptions, 601 yards and two touchdowns. Over a full season, that would be a line of 80-1,070-3. While this line […]

Three Overlooked Veteran Wide Receivers: Draft Values for 2015

People are quick to turn away from the stars of yesteryear in favor of the "huge upside" they see blooming out of the young receivers. Is that really the right thing to do? While other players in your league are making huge reaches on the likes of Brandin Cooks and Kelvin Benjamin, in hopes they […]

Seattle Seahawks: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

The Seattle Seahawks made one of the biggest splashes of the offseason by acquiring tight end Jimmy Graham from the New Orleans Saints. Despite being a fairly heavy run-based offense, this is a team that needed a big pass catching option, a void that should easily be filled with Graham. Between Graham, Russell Wilson, and […]

2015 Early-Round Draft Strategy For Fantasy Football

In most fantasy football leagues, your draft position is going to be either entirely random or dependent on where you finished in the previous year. It’s essential to have a game plan no matter where you’re drafting from, because a good draft strategy can put you in a position to win your league from Day […]

Minnesota Vikings: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook

One of the biggest stories of the 2014 NFL season was that of Adrian Peterson missing 15 games as a result of an off-field incident involving one of his children. There was a ton of off-season speculation regarding the relationship between Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings, most of which centered around whether or not he […]

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 […]

A Sleeper To Watch For in 2015: Dorial Green-Beckham

Around this time last year, there was considerable buzz surrounding rookie running back Bishop Sankey. Sankey automatically became a trendy sleeper within the fantasy community, but never met the expectations placed on him. Although he might not have nearly as much hype, rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham is another player selected by the Tennessee Titans that should be considered […]

Where Should You Draft Mike Evans in 2015?

Mike Evans is poised for greatness in 2015, and that could spell success for fantasy owners who value him properly. Yahoo! currently ranks Evans 12th among receivers. However, that current third round ADP is a little high for me. I can’t justify taking Evans in the third round while comparable talent goes much deeper. You shouldn’t be […]

John Brown (WR, ARZ) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds as WR4 CURRENT ADP: 146 STD, 103 PPR ANALYSIS: Back in 2012, a speedy receiver drafted in the third round splashed onto the NFL scene as the deep threat in a Bruce Arians offense.  Two years later, the same exact scenario happened in Arizona.  The two receivers in this […]

Brian Quick (WR, STL) – 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in middle to late rounds as a solid WR3 CURRENT ADP: 177 STD, 132 PPR ANALYSIS: Brain Quick has always had a fitting name. The 26-year-old ran a 4.55 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine a few years back, a solid time made even more impressive by the fact he stands a robust 6'3" and […]

Marvin Jones (WR, CIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in late rounds as a possible WR3 CURRENT ADP: 170 STD, 144 PPR ANALYSIS: Foot and ankle injuries cost Marvin Jones the entirety of the 2014 season, making him a difficult player to project heading into 2015. On one hand, the 25-year-old only has two real seasons under his belt and has played a […]

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 […]

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 […]

Mike Wallace (WR, MIN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as High-End WR3 CURRENT ADP: 92 STD, 87 PPR ANALYSIS: Mike Wallace's current ADP sits at WR31, despite never having finished outside the top 30. Using his 4.33 40-yard dash speed, Wallace quickly gained a reputation as an excellent deep ball threat, averaging 18.7 yards per catch over his first […]

Projecting Where Wide Receiver Emmanuel Sanders Finishes in 2015

Don’t expect Emmanuel Sanders to have a repeat performance in 2015 despite his highly enjoyable career year last season. Sanders racked up over 100 receptions (5th in NFL) for 1,404 yards (5th in NFL) and nine touchdowns, all career highs. Those touchdowns came in bunches which would be a difficult feat to repeat. In a five-week span, Sanders […]

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 […]

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 […]
