Cut-Down Casualties to Keep an Eye On In Fantasy Football

All NFL teams trimmed their rosters down to 53 players on Tuesday afternoon. Most of the moves were widely expected as organizations parted ways with players ranging from expensive veterans to non-impactful replacements to low-ranking rookies. However, some cuts came as a bit of a surprise, especially those that could have fantasy football ramifications. Let's […]

Is Late-Round QB A Viable Strategy? QB Options To Target in Fantasy Football Drafts

It has generally been an accepted strategy by many in the fantasy community that you should always wait on a quarterback as the position can be hard to predict and the same players don't always repeat at the top every year. This has also rung true in most leagues since the running back position tends […]

Allen Robinson (WR, DEN) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~40 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~62 ANALYSIS: A season removed from being perhaps the biggest bust in fantasy football, former Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson gets a fresh start with the Los Angeles Rams. The narrative around Robinson has always been reliable production immune to poor quarterback play. Now that narrative is reversed, […]

Dolphins Deny Mike Gesicki Trade Rumors

Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said the team received calls from two teams about tight end Mike Gesicki, but the Dolphins were not shopping him. Gesicki's fantasy stock has fallen considerably this summer with rumors that he hasn't been a great fit in new head coach Mike McDaniel's offensive scheme. Apparently the Dolphins want […]

Courtland Sutton (WR, DEN) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~35 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~45 ANALYSIS: The list of signal-callers that have spearheaded Denver's offense during wide receiver Courtland Sutton's first four seasons has been substandard, but the arrival of Russell Wilson will elevate Denver's proficiency at quarterback to an unprecedented level during Sutton's tenure. This should propel Sutton to his […]

Adam Thielen (WR, MIN) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~62 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~71 ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers are likely cautious around Thielen because he was injured last year and is 32 years old. Those are all valid reasons, but WR34? In the last five years, he’s been a top-15 receiver four times. In fact, you might be surprised to find out […]

We are less than two weeks away from the kickoff of the NFL season. Fantasy drafts will be in full swing as soon as this weekend, meaning it's time to start fine-tuning the players to target to win your league.

Dolphins Cut Preston Williams

The Miami Dolphins cut wide receiver Preston Williams on Tuesday, according to a source. Williams complained his lack of a role earlier this summer, but he was never realistically going to see much playing time after Miami added wideouts Tyreek Hill and Cedrick Wilson Jr. in the offseason. Multiple teams reached out over the last […]

Byron Jones To Miss First Four Games

The Miami Dolphins placed starting cornerback Byron Jones (ankle) on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, so he will miss at least the first four games of the season. Jones had surgery on his ankle in March and was hoping to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but that won't […]

Lynn Bowden Jr. Let Go By Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. on Tuesday, according to a source. Bowden has plenty of versatility as a running back, slot receiver and kick returner, but the Dolphins just didn't have room for him after adding Tyreek Hill and Cedrick Wilson Jr. in the offseason. The 24-year-old will surely latch on […]

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 […]

Will Jaylen Waddle be ready by Week 1 Of The NFL Season?

Miami Dolphins second-year wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has been held out of practice recently with an undisclosed injury. We don't really know a ton about this injury at this point, aside from the fact that Waddle didn't play in the team's final preseason game. Will this Waddle injury end up lingering into the season? Should […]

Will Myles Gaskin Make The Dolphins Roster? Is Gaskin Worth Drafting?

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin was the starter last year. While he averaged 3.5 yards per rushing attempt and 10.2 PPR fantasy points per game, his fantasy value plummeted this offseason. After hiring former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel as their new head coach, the Dolphins signed multiple running backs in free […]

Dolphins Release Sony Michel

The Miami Dolphins released running back Sony Michel on Monday. Michel didn't impress the coaching staff enough in training camp and the preseason to make the cut in a crowded backfield that also includes Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert, Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed. The 27-year-old former first-round pick by the New England Patriots in 2018 […]

Dolphins Officially Sign Trey Flowers

The Miami Dolphins officially signed former New England Patriots and Detroit Lions linebacker Trey Flowers to an undisclosed deal on Monday.

Should I Draft Deshaun Watson In 2022? What Is Jacoby Brissett's Fantasy Football Value?

Although it was reported that the NFL was seeking at least a one-year suspension for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, the NFL and NFLPA reached an agreement in August that would suspend Watson for 11 games without pay.   More on Browns’ QB Deshaun Watson being suspended 11 games, fined $5 million and agreeing to […]

DJ Moore (WR, CAR) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~30 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~42 ANALYSIS: People are underestimating Baker Mayfield. We forget that he played the majority of 2021 with a torn shoulder labrum that frequently became dislocated. Not only that, but Kareem Hunt missed nine games, Jarvis Landry missed four, and Odell Beckham Jr. only played six games before […]
