BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as TE1 CURRENT ADP: 54 STD, 49 PPR ANALYSIS: Travis Kelce not only has the size and athleticism to play like Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, but his opportunity for Gronk-like targets is increasing, as well.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / Stash in Most Leagues 31% owned in Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Throughout the preseason there were a lot of fantasy football talk on sleeper picks.
