Deeper League Free Agent Pickups - Week 1

Ah, the waiver wire. It can be what you make of it: a place where you pick up the biggest steals of the week or just a place where players of no value reside, but you can check on them anyway in case you need to. I like to think of the waiver wire as […]

FAB Bidding - Week 1 Waiver Wire Targets

Assisting our famous waiver wire pickups list, and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this column focuses on suggested waiver wire bidding percentages for fantasy football owners in leagues using a Free Agent Budget (FAB).

While you have been anticipating the onset of regular-season games, you have also been focusing […]

Davante Adams Has Dynamite Matchup

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams will have a fantastic matchup in Week 1 against the Vikings. Adams will face a Vikings Defense that underwent an overhaul in the offseason and allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing receivers in 2019. The Vikings also allowed the seventh-most receptions to receivers, and Adams, in particular, […]

Aaron Jones Hoping To Continue Success Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face a Vikings Defense in Week 1 that allowed the 16th-fewest fantasy points to opposing backs in 2019. Jones combined for 19 touchdowns last season and now gets a Week 1 matchup against a team he absolutely destroyed last season. In two games against the Vikings, Jones […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Stiff Week 1 Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have a tough first test Week 1 against the division-rival Vikings. Rodgers' offensive production tailed off last season, as he failed to pass for more than 240 yards in six of his last eight games. Now he will face a Vikings Defense that allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points […]

Davante Adams Should Have Strong Week 1

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams gets a strong matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 of the 2020 season. In two games against Minnesota last year, Adams averaged 12.5 targets per game, 10 catches per game and 111 receiving yards per game. It's a juicy matchup for the 27-year-old against Minnesota's young […]

Packers Working On New Deal With Aaron Jones

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones said the team is currently working on a new deal with him. "Yes they definitely are. My agent and them are taking care of that. I'm gonna focus on football," Jones said. It makes sense with Jones heading into the final season of his rookie deal in 2020. […]

Allen Lazard (WR, GB) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 44% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Opportunity is everything in fantasy, right? Lazard has the WR2 role in Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers at QB. I know we've said that to build up other Packer receivers before but this is the guy to watch in 2020. Marquez Valdes-Scantling ranked […]

Mitchell Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I truly believe Trubisky can bounce back and be at least a top-20 fantasy QB, if not a serviceable streamer. First, the Foles factor is vastly overblown. The guy had a great postseason run in Philly but has never succeeded elsewhere and was […]

Late-Round Lottery Tickets and Breakout Candidates

The 2020 fantasy football draft season is finally upon us. One thing fantasy managers should be routinely doing is mock drafting to learn where the players they are targeting might go in their drafts. You can never mock draft too much. Another reason to mock draft is to learn which players are available at the […]

Does Houston Have a David Johnson Problem?

David Johnson might be one of the most head-scratching backs for the 2020 season. I mean, what happened to him? According to FantasyPros, the back had the first overall average draft position (ADP) in 2017. His ADP has currently plummeted to 44th as the 21st RB off the board for 2020. Ironically, this is one spot […]

Boom and Bust Draft Picks: Running Back Edition

Many fantasy football managers are familiar with the concept of “boom” and “bust” players by now. “Boom” guys are your overachievers. They are the guys from high school who were voted the most likely to clean porta-potties for a living, and yet they ended up becoming the most tenured Senator in Washington. In fantasy terms, these […]

This is the Season to Maximize #AllBenchRB!

Fantasy Bretheren, listen up.  There has never been a year that is more fitting for #AllBenchRB. Just ask @Raphstradamus and El Camello! These suckas each drafted six bench RBs in their league of record to shoot for fantasy gold. Actually I can’t support that last statement, but if you talk to them, tell them they […]

Michael Florio's Updated Draft Rankings vs Industry Consensus

Every single season there is a hunger for fantasy football rankings. Every single season people draft their entire fantasy football team off of a list of names ordered by their favorite analysts or site. And every year those people make the most common mistake when it comes to rankings! The mistake so many fantasy players […]

Frank Ammirante's Updated PPR Rankings vs. RotoBaller Consensus

We're right in the heart of draft season, so it's the perfect time to release my final PPR rankings. These are tiered rankings organized by position. My rankings prioritize upside and downgrade injury concerns. There are some players who I was previously high on, but was forced to downgrade due to injuries, such as Allen […]

Pierre Camus's 2020 All-Sleeper Team

What's fantasy football draft season without sleepers? Don't worry, I won't waste your time with some convoluted explanation of what constitutes a sleeper. That's because these picks were created with specific guidelines I was given, so it removed some of the brainwork required and left more in the tank for me to elaborate on why […]

Deep Draft Sleepers: Tight End

Fantasy football can be unpredictable. In a position like tight end, there are several elite options to draft before the value of the players starts to fall off. Therefore, though it is integral to draft a great TE, some managers may look to stock up at other positions. While that may be an effective strategy, […]

A.J. Dillon (RB, GB) - Rookie Running Back Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~154 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~172 ANALYSIS: The rookie out of Boston College is a beast at 6' and 247 lbs, and a snapshot of his "massive legs" (coach Matt LaFleur's words) went viral early in training camp. He rushed for 5.2 yards per carry and totaled 40 touchdowns in college, leading the […]

Packers Waive Dexter Williams

The Green Bay Packers have waived running back Dexter Williams, a 2019 sixth-round pick for the team. After drafting A.J. Dillon this year, the Packers backfield was too crowded for both Jamaal Williams and Dexter Williams to have roles this year, so this move seems to indicate that Jamaal Williams will be the No. 3 […]

Aaron Jones Primed For Another Strong Season

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will play a huge role in 2020 as the focal point of the Packers offense. Jones enjoyed a career season in 2019, posting 1,558 all-purpose yards with 49 receptions and 19 total touchdowns. While his touchdown totals may regress a smidge this season, Jones still has averaged 5.0 […]

Rookie Roulette: Which First-Year RB Is the Best Value?  

When it comes to drafting rookies, many fantasy owners know the potential risks that come with drafting an unproven player in terms of NFL experience. No matter how prolific a player may have been in college, the NFL is a whole different animal and adjustment periods vary depending by player. For 2020, an impressive slate […]

The Incendiary Sophomore Ready To Explode: Mecole Hardman

Finding the next breakout player in fantasy football is not always an easy task. If it were, we would all be winning more championships. However, sometimes a player jumps off the screen and the analytics jump off the page, making it a little easier. Kansas City Chiefs sophomore wide receiver Mecole Hardman is such a player. […]

Jace Sternberger Having Quiet Camp

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger entered training camp with hopes of becoming a breakout player in the offense this season but has had a "quiet" camp, according to Packers reporter Andy Herman. The second-year player missed the first half of last season due to injuries and largely was non-existent when returned to the […]
