Jordan Love (QB, GB): 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~166 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~188 ANALYSIS:  I really don't think anyone knows what to expect out of Jordan Love as he takes over the Packers, but I think his arm strength alone gives him more upside than other quarterbacks in this range. Sure, Love could crash and burn, but he's simply […]

Davante Adams - Path To Overall Fantasy Football WR1

Fantasy football managers are down on Davante Adams. Last year, he finished as the WR3.

Breakout Tight Ends for Fantasy Football Drafts - Late Round ADP Values Include Chigoziem Okonkwo, Logan Thomas, more

The tight end position tends to be a really weird position in fantasy.

Once you miss out on the […]
