Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 3

Week 2 of the NFL season was a physical therapist's dream. Or nightmare, I guess. Either way, the amount of players that were either legitimately injured or had a scare was hard to watch. Throw in some shocking duds from superstars like Ezekiel Elliott and Brandin Cooks, and Sunday's slate had more face-palms than anticipated. […]

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Fantasy Football Leagues (Week 3)

Another week, another top player at his position with a serious injury. This time it's Carolina tight end Greg Olsen, who was expected to be a top-five TE this season. There were also plenty of other injuries--Corey Coleman, Jimmy Graham, Jordan Howard (who was in a sling after the game after dealing with shoulder issues […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 2 Fantasy Football Picks

Let's face it - as much as you try to build a strong team at all positions, you're winning each week based on the strength of one or two players that put up huge performances. The vast majority of champions from 2016 weren't won by guys with the best balance in their lineup or the […]

NFL Survivor League Picks - Week 2

Week 1 is in the books and it sure was a doozy. The games were mostly lopsided and dull. Only two games, the Falcons at Bears, and Chargers, Broncos came down to the final possession.* I had the Bears as an upset special and they should have won the game. Week 1 also leads to massive overreaction. […]

Players Sending Out Warning Signals Heading Into Week 2

Although it is only Week 2 of the NFL season, it is never too early to begin trying to spot and diagnose concerning trends for your top fantasy players. With that being said, it is important to remember that it is way too early to panic on any one player. Although you will have to […]

Buy Low, Sell High Candidates For Week 2

It is time for fantasy football owners to channel their inner Gordon Gecko by buying low and selling high! The opening week of the NFL season was filled with breakout performances by rookie running backs (Dalvin Cook, Kareem Hunt, Leonard Fourcette) and sluggish starts for veteran quarterbacks (Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Andy Dalton). Now is […]

Week 1 Fantasy Football Surprises - Fake News or Real Deal?

Now that Week 1 is over, it is time where we race towards waiver wires across the fantasy realm to claim the latest fantasy stud on the market. I mean we’ve all been there, we have a garbage week, we are angry, we search the net, read articles, crunch the numbers and hope and pray […]

Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers - Week 1

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 2

Don't panic! It's only been one week, don't freak out about your lineups just yet. Unless you're one of the unfortunate folks who lost David Johnson or Allen Robinson, there is obviously a ton of time for your studs to perform. Having said that, it's always wise to keep your eye on some early pickups […]

Week 2 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

Don't overreact. Don't overreact. Fantasy owners need to repeat this many times before making lineup decisions after one week of regular season football. The same goes for ranking the players and trying to judge relative value. This week, I'll resist temptation to put Kareem Hunt as overall RB1, steer clear of Carson Palmer, and try […]

Week 2 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Well, that didn't take long. Injuries to star running back David Johnson and fantasy sleeper Danny Woodhead have left openings for their understudies to make an impact in the coming weeks. Other lesser-known RBs have shown glimpses of talent that could be an indicator of future success. While I'd never recommend overspending FAAB or dumping […]

Half-PPR Rankings Analysis – Tight Ends

You know the fantasy football season is right around the corner when the first starting quarterback tears an ACL and the first top tailback gets suspended for off-the-field fiascos. Tight ends are not as valuable as quarterbacks, running backs and receivers in fantasy football, but the points they provide, especially in half-PPR leagues, can propel […]

Breshad Perriman (WR, BAL) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~150 CURRENT ADP: ~192 ANALYSIS: Although the health Joe Flacco is in question, and Jeremy Maclin has been thrown into the mix, this wouldn’t be a deep sleepers list without Breshad Perriman. The first round, sophomore wide receiver has spent much of the offseason building rapport with his quarterback and remains one of the best red-zone threats on the roster. […]
