Michael Pittman Jr. (WR, IND) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts sophomore wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has a clear path to targets in an offense that does not have an alpha WR1. At 6-foot-4, 223 pounds, Pittman has the frame to make tough contested catches and dominate in the red zone. He showed some upside as […]

Marvin Jones Jr. On Track For The Season Opener

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. (shoulder) should be available to play in the team's September 12th season opener against the Houston Texans, per head coach Urban Meyer. Jones suffered an AC joint sprain in the team's final preseason game, but the sprain was always considered minor and he's recovering well. Jones has flashed […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Will Be Ready For Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (finger) will be ready to suit up for the season opener, per head coach Urban Meyer. Chark is still recovering from minor finger surgery, but he's progressing well with no setbacks. Chark is coming off of a disappointing 2020 season, but he's expected to start and should be […]

Jaguars Claim Tyron Johnson

The Jacksonville Jaguars claimed wide receiver Tyron Johnson off of waivers on Wednesday. Johnson, a second-year pro out of Oklahoma State, was previously waived by the Chargers on Tuesday. Johnson flashed at times in 2020, and he racked up 20 catches, 398 yards, and three touchdowns overall in 12 games. Johnson's excellent 19.9 yards per […]

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 […]

Marvin Jones (WR, JAX) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~112 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~123 ANALYSIS: It might be a little bit of a stretch to label Trevor Lawrence as a league-winning player this early in his career, much less as a rookie quarterback playing his first pro snaps. He can truly be the real deal, but it's not that he will finish as […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. (WR, JAX) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~95 ANALYSIS: Laviska Shenault Jr. enjoyed a breakout rookie year in 2020 in the midst of uneven quarterback play. Entering Shenault's sophomore campaign, the Jaguars have made a transformative improvement in quarterback play from Mike Glennon and Gardner Minshew to Trevor Lawrence. With subpar quarterback play, Shenault pulled in 58 catches for […]

Five Running Back Sleepers to Target

Players from all 32 teams have reported to their training camps, which has inspired many fantasy managers to increase their participation in best-ball leagues. Some of you are also preparing your strategy for upcoming drafts in redraft leagues. It is highly recommended that you remain flexible in your decision-making based upon the flow of every […]

Jaguars Surprisingly Waive Collin Johnson

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced that they waived wide receiver Collin Johnson on Tuesday. Johnson's release comes as a surprise, as he seemed likely to make the team before the announcement due to his strong camp and the lack of other options after the team also waived Laquon Treadwell and released Phillip Dorsett II. Johnson is […]

Jaguars Waive Laquon Treadwell

Former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is set to be waived, per Jamal St. Cyr of News4Jax. Treadwell, a former first-round draft choice of the Minnesota Vikings, has struggled to find opportunities at the NFL level over the last few seasons. Treadwell's release bodes well for Collin Johnson, and to a lesser extent, Tavon […]

Jaguars Release Phillip Dorsett II

Former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II was released on Tuesday. Dorsett's release is surprising, to say the least, as he was expected to provide a vertical element within the offense as the team's fourth wideout. The speedster will likely get an opportunity with another receiver-needy team shortly, and Detroit is a possible landing […]

Laquon Treadwell Released By Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars released wide receiver Laquon Treadwell on Tuesday. The 2016 first round pick signed with the team this past June and wasn't able to do enough to earn a roster spot for the season. DJ Chark Jr., Marvin Jones Jr. and Laviska Shenault Jr. will be the team's top three receivers going into […]

Rashaad Penny (RB, SEA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~164 ANALYSIS: When the Seattle Seahawks drafted running back Rashaad Penny in the first round of the 2018 draft, there were high expectations for the former San Diego State standout. Significant injuries and the emergence of Chris Carson led Penny to start off his career in a very underwhelming fashion. […]

Trey Sermon (RB, SF) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~101 ANALYSIS: The best case for Sermon boils down to one name: Jeff Wilson Jr. He was an undrafted free agent out of North Texas who rarely played his first two seasons. Once the Niners were thin at running back late in the season, they threw Wilson out there and […]

Fantasy Football Kicker Draft Rankings

It's time to look at everyone's favorite position for fantasy football. That's right... we're talking about kickers! More so this year than in the past, fantasy leagues continue to drop the kicker position in favor of one more flex spots. For those of you that hold steadfast in your kicker ways, I'm here to make […]

NFL Preseason and Training Camp Risers

Training camp presents fantasy football drafters with an overwhelming amount of praise at times. By now you've likely heard that everyone is in the best shape of their life, every single rookie is expected to play a big role, and everyone is shaping up to be a steal in drafts. Sifting through all of the […]

Collin Johnson Offers Fantasy Upside as Red-Zone Weapon

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Collin Johnson has emerged as an under-the-radar weapon that could provide value for fantasy managers. Andy Staples of The Athletic identified Johnson as the Jaguars' biggest fantasy football sleeper, adding that he expects "the 6-foot-6 receiver from Texas to be a frequent red-zone target." He finished 2020 with just 18 catches […]

James O'Shaughnessy Records Three Receptions

Jacksonville Jaguars veteran tight end James O'Shaughnessy caught all three of his targets for 27 yards in the team's preseason finale against the Cowboys on Sunday. O'Shaughnessy's usage was encouraging, as he played exclusively with the starters and looked to be fairly involved in the offense. O'Shaughnessy is the most accomplished pass catcher among the […]

Phillip Dorsett II Reels In 38 Yard Bomb Against Cowboys

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II caught his long target for 38 yards in Sunday's preseason finale against the Cowboys. Dorsett only caught one pass, but it was the highlight of the game. The veteran used his speed to create some separation on a go route down the sideline and Trevor Lawrence dropped a […]

James Robinson Quiet In Preseason Finale

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson had a quiet day against the Cowboys in the team's final preseason contest, rushing for just 10 yards on three carries and catching his only target for two yards. Robinson hasn't done much of anything this preseason, but there's no reason to be concerned. The team has smartly limited […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Notches 33 Yards And A Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. caught all three of his targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win against the Cowboys. Shenault once again played exclusively with Trevor Lawrence in the first half, and the two look to have developed a nice rapport. Shenault drew better practice reviews than any […]

Trevor Lawrence Shreds Cowboys In Preseason Finale

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence was nearly perfect in first-half action against the Cowboys in the team's preseason finale, going 11-for-12 with 139 yards and two touchdowns. Lawrence hadn't performed at an elite level in other preseason games, but he put the league on notice in this one. The rookie effortlessly found receivers in […]

Tight End Rankings Analysis - Standard Scoring

Tight end is one of the most difficult positions to draft for in fantasy due to the lack of elite talent at the position. Once the top-five guys have been drafted, it becomes much trickier for managers to pick a potential TE1 just because of things like small roles, unproven NFL talent, etc. Luckily, there […]

D.J. Chark is the Jaguars Receiver You Want

Why is D.J. Chark not receiving more fantasy love? Not only is he not receiving the kind of fanfare he should be, but there are some who believe Laviska Shenault Jr. will be the Jaguars' No. 1 wide receiver in 2021. That's certainly a possibility, but fantasy managers need to remember just how good Chark […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in a lot better shape heading into the 2021 NFL season than they were at the end of the 2020 season, and that bodes well for the fantasy futures of their skill-position players. Laviska Shenault Jr. was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Jaguars because […]
