BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: The severity of Eddie Lacy's injury is not fully known right now - but assuming he does miss any time at all, Starks becomes a must own.

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 30% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: I can't believe more people didn't jump on the opportunity to own James Jones as soon as he was re-signed to the Packers.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 25% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: With Jordy Nelson out for the season there are a lot of targets to go around in Green Bay.

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 4-5 as Low-End WR2 ANALYSIS: A second round pick in 2014 by the Packers, Davante Adams thrived in his role as the third wide receiver on Green Bay's depth chart as a rookie.

The Effect Jordy Nelson's Injury Has on Randall Cobb, Davante Adams, and the Rest of Green Bay

Davante Adams - Stock Up Adams is by far the biggest beneficiary of the Nelson injury.

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 […]

Davante Adams (WR, GB) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: 129 STD, 100 PPR ANALYSIS: With only 38 targets, Davante Adams received less attention than many first year wideouts in 2014, but a few key aspects make him stand out heading into 2015.
