Davante Adams Will Be WR1 Choice In Week 1
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will take on the Saints in Week 1. Adams is coming off an incredible season, posting 115 catches for 1,374 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Kickers Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts
The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter. If they matter to the games on Sunday, they should matter to fantasy football, as well. Are they random? Of course, they are. But isn't fantasy football in general? When Mecole Hardman […]
All-Bust Team: 2021 Fantasy Football
You may have already seen one or both iterations of my 2021 All-Sleeper Team. Now it's time to flip that coin around and see what's on the other side. Busts aren't as fun to read about as sleepers but it's just as important to know who not to draft. It's a bit harder to define what […]
Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions
I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year in this article I predicted big seasons for Jonathan Taylor, Diontae Johnson, Tee Higgins, and Justin Herbert. Following my advice would have also […]
Deeper Wide Receiver Sleepers to Target
With two weeks until the start of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are moving from participating in best-ball leagues to starting to prepare for redraft and home leagues. However, that doesn't have to mean you give up on some of your favorite sleepers. I've been pretty consistent in arguing that the term sleeper is […]

Once you reach the late rounds of drafts, everyone wants to draft high-upside fliers that can provide a great return on value. You can afford to take risks on a variety of different players, including prospects, forgotten veterans, players returning from injuries, or even skilled players with potential playing time concerns. It's essential to have […]
Updated Fantasy Football Rankings: PPR Wide Receivers
Fantasy football rankings change as often as wide receivers change NFL teams the week before the season starts. The wide receiver merry-go-round is spinning quicker than Tyreek Hill does when he is breaking tackles in the secondary. Some pass catchers are dealing with demotions, injuries or being cut, while others are finding higher spots on […]
Must-Have Late-Round Picks
The 2021 NFL season is just around the corner and fantasy drafts are in full swing at this point. Everyone knows who to pick in the first round, but what about in the last round? Or the last couple of rounds? Who are the players that you need to be looking out for as you […]
Must-Have Running Backs for 2021 Fantasy Football
If you're like me, that is, a bona fide fantasy football junkie who is consumed by this hobby, then you participate in more than one league. It's to the point where I've lost count but I know I'll check in each and every week to set lineups, make waiver claims, and do whatever it takes […]

The countdown to NFL kickoff is on. This means that not only is it time to release my favorite fantasy players for 2021, but it’s also time to dive into my favorite season-long prop bets. Personally, I love season-long wagers. Yes, injuries can derail what may be a surefire season; however, if you really believe […]
Rashod Bateman (WR, BAL) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~215 ANALYSIS: The passing volume in Baltimore is not ideal. The injury to Rashod Bateman is also not ideal and yet, I am suggesting him for your fantasy team. I'm betting on talent here. He was a first-round pick for a reason. As a sophomore in college, […]
Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~240 ANALYSIS: Marquez Valdes-Scantling finished as the 55th-ranked wide receiver in PPR-formats last year with 9.2 fantasy points per game but is somehow now being drafted as the 72nd receiver off the board. There are only two reasons I can assume for that: his drop rate from […]

The King's 2021 One-Man Fantasy Football Mock Draft
Now that the preseason is officially over, I have delivered my annual exercise that I have been doing since the 1990s, the one-man mock draft.

Tight End Rankings Analysis – PPR Leagues
Tight ends might not rack up the yardage receivers do, but they can match their counterparts in the receptions department. While only two tight ends broke the 1,000-yard barrier (Travis Kelce and Darren Waller) and two had double-digit touchdowns (Kelce and Robert Tonyan) in 2020, five were targeted over 100 times and eight had 60 […]
Tight Ends To Avoid in Fantasy Drafts?
