Tight End Dynasty Rankings - Fantasy Football Tiers and Draft Analysis

Fantasy football general managers do not build their dynasty league rosters and fantasy futures around the tight end position. Sure, tight ends are more important than kickers, defenses, and backups at the other skilled positions, but they take a back seat to quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers. This does not mean tight ends should […]

Darren Waller Could Become Highest-Paid Tight End

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has had a deal in discussion that would make him the highest-paid tight end in the league in terms of at least the new money metric at $16 million per year, according to a league source.

Drake London (WR, ATL) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~93 ANALYSIS: The receiver depth chart is barren in Atlanta. It includes names like Auden Tate and Olamide Zaccheaus. The Falcons have over 280 vacated targets last season with the loss of, most notably, Mike Davis, Calvin Ridley, Russell Gage, Hayden Hurst, and Tajae Sharpe. They combined […]

Zamir White (RB, LV) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~154 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~169 ANALYSIS:Out with the old, in with the new. That's the philosophy in Vegas as new coach Josh McDaniels takes over. In the same vein as his mentor, Bill Belichick, McDaniels views running backs as disposable. That's why they declined Josh Jacobs' fifth-year option, essentially making him […]

Zamir White Operates As Raiders Starter In Preseason Finale

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Zamir White rushed five times for 17 yards and a touchdown in the team's 23-6 preseason finale win over the Patriots on Friday.

Rachaad White (RB, TB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~128 ANALYSIS: No Gronk, gimpy Godwin, dusty Julio, and three banged-up offensive linemen. That's the state of the Bucs' offense heading into 2022. Leonard Fournette seems to have gotten himself into shape, at least some sort of shape, but he won't take 100% of the team's touches. […]

AJ Dillon (RB, GB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~45 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~53 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon entered last season as a high-end backup with upside but proved he's even more valuable than that.

All-Sleeper Team for Fantasy Football - Rachaad White, Nico Collins, Kyle Philips, and more

This isn't the All-Madden team. A sleeper isn't always going to hit but when they do, it can give you a huge advantage.

Off-The-Radar Fantasy Football Sleepers Who Could Make Noise - Tyler Johnson, Hayden Hurst, Justin Watson, and more

The term "sleeper" has been overused and abused by the fantasy community. The fact is that almost anyone can be a sleeper if you frame it the right way. It's gotten to the point that we can identify several subcategories of sleepers. First, there's the non-sleeper: a player so obvious that it barely qualifies but […]

Adam Koffler's Bold Predictions for the 2022 Fantasy Football Season

If you don't appreciate a good bold prediction, you don't like fun. Bold predictions are inherently fun and elicit strong reactions from lots of people.

We have progressed into the final days of August, and many of you will maintain your involvement in best-ball leagues until the regular season is underway.
