Myles Gaskin Could Thrive In Rotation
Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is poised for a strong season regardless of whether Malcolm Brown and Salvon Ahmed play a role in 2021, according to Sheil Kapadia of The Athletic. There was initially some doubt about Gaskin's outlook after Brown thrived in Week 1 of the preseason, but Kapadia offers some faith in […]
Malcolm Brown (RB, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~175 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~215 ANALYSIS: With Matt Breida now in Buffalo, Malcolm Brown was brought in back in March to fill the void, signing a one-year, $1.75 million contract. The veteran spent his entire career with the Rams and is heading to South Beach fresh off his best year to date, […]
Dynasty Decisions - Injured Players to Target
Before Week 1 has kicked off, fantasy managers who drafted early are already having to blow a melancholy kiss goodbye to early draft picks like J.K. Dobbins and Travis Etienne. Painful though it may be, there is no choice but to click the Drop Player button and search for a suitable replacement. In the dynasty […]
Kickers Rankings - Who to Target in Drafts
The calls to abolish kickers in fantasy football seem to grow by the year, but most leagues continue to use them. They matter. If they matter to the games on Sunday, they should matter to fantasy football, as well. Are they random? Of course, they are. But isn't fantasy football in general? When Mecole Hardman […]
All-Bust Team: 2021 Fantasy Football
You may have already seen one or both iterations of my 2021 All-Sleeper Team. Now it's time to flip that coin around and see what's on the other side. Busts aren't as fun to read about as sleepers but it's just as important to know who not to draft. It's a bit harder to define what […]
Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions
I love bold predictions articles because I hate chalk. Preseason ADP is never anywhere near accurate when predicting the season, yet many fantasy drafters have trouble differentiating from the consensus. Last year in this article I predicted big seasons for Jonathan Taylor, Diontae Johnson, Tee Higgins, and Justin Herbert. Following my advice would have also […]
Updated Fantasy Football Rankings: PPR Wide Receivers
Fantasy football rankings change as often as wide receivers change NFL teams the week before the season starts. The wide receiver merry-go-round is spinning quicker than Tyreek Hill does when he is breaking tackles in the secondary. Some pass catchers are dealing with demotions, injuries or being cut, while others are finding higher spots on […]
Devante Parker Bounce Back Year?
Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker did not look like himself during the 2020 season. He finished with 32 receptions, 438 yards, and three touchdowns in eight games. Sadly, injuries continue to hinder him and it's beginning to hurt his fantasy value. Right now, Parker should be viewed as a high-end WR4 coming into Week […]
Must-Have Backup Running Backs
After a turbulent season in 2020, Week 1 is right around the corner. Historically, most leagues aren't won by who is taken in the first few rounds of fantasy drafts. Instead, it's by who finds those "value" options later on. Also, a majority of the most successful league managers remain committed to searching the waiver […]
Gerrid Doaks Earns Practice Squad Spot
Miami Dolphins running back Gerrid Doaks made the most of his chances during the preseason. He posted a two-touchdown game in the preseason finale. Sadly, it was not enough to earn him a spot on the 53-man roster. Although, the Dolphins did keep him around with a spot on the practice squad. The seventh-round running […]
Malcolm Brown Could Have Sneaky Value
Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown is probably not someone most fantasy managers would bother considering in drafts. He's currently stuck in a three-back committee with Myles Gaskin and Salvon Ahmed. Right now, it sounds like Gaskin is the favorite to be the lead back. However, Brown was brought in this offseason as insurance at […]
Myles Gaskin Likely To Be Lead Back
Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin is expected to be in a three-back committee to begin the season. The organization plans to use Malcolm Brown, Salvon Ahmed, and Gaskin in their weekly gameplan. At first glance, this is a headache for fantasy managers and probably won't last too long for Miami. At some point, one […]
Tua Tagovailoa Focusing On Week 1
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is going to be the starter heading into Week 1. The organization is hopeful that Tagovailoa can be their future franchise quarterback. However, there have been rumors about the Dolphins possibly interested in Deshaun Watson. Despite that, Tagovailoa is trying to block out the trade rumors and focus on helping […]

In this article, I'll highlight a handful of players at each position that have significantly risen or fallen in my rankings over the past few weeks. Remember, these are full-PPR rankings, thus […]
Deeper Tight End Sleepers to Target
With two weeks until the start of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are moving from participating in best-ball leagues to starting to prepare for redraft and home leagues. However, that doesn't have to mean you give up on some of your favorite sleepers. I've been pretty consistent in arguing that the term sleeper is […]
Jaylen Waddle (WR, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: If you want a high-upside rookie, look no further than Jaylen Waddle. The Alabama product has been touted by some to be a better receiver than his Heisman-winning teammate, DeVonta Smith. Taken with the sixth overall pick, the Dolphins must love the speed and skill Waddle brings to […]
Shaquem Griffin Staying In Miami
Miami Dolphins linebacker Shaquem Griffin was one of the more surprising cuts on Tuesday. He was added to the team in July as linebacker depth. Griffin was mainly a special teams player in Seattle, but has decent upside. On Wednesday, he was brought back to the Dolphins on the practice squad. At least now, Miami […]
Brian Flores All-In On Tua Tagovailoa
Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has all the confidence in quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. With recent rumors that the Dolphins may have an interest in acquiring Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, coach Flores has made it clear that Tua is the starting quarterback for Miami, and he is committed to the second-year passer being the starter […]
Bernardrick McKinney Doesn't Make Roster
Miami Dolphins linebacker Bernardrick McKinney has been cut by the organization on Tuesday. This is one of the more surprising cuts by Miami. He was acquired by Miami back in March and appeared to have the inside track at the starting linebacker job. However, Elandon Roberts looks to have beat him out for the roster […]
Dolphins Have Faith In Tua Tagovailoa
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be the starting QB heading into Week 1 of the regular season. There were some rumors that Miami was considering acquiring Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans. However, Dolphins owner Shephen Ross said he's not forcing team decisions and has faith in Tagovailoa. The second-year quarterback certainly looks like […]
The King's 2021 One-Man Fantasy Football Mock Draft
Now that the preseason is officially over, I have delivered my annual exercise that I have been doing since the 1990s, the one-man mock draft. In this article, I attempt to sit in the draft chairs of all participants in a 12-team PPR league with four points for a TD pass. Starting skill position requirements […]
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 […]

DeVante Parker (WR, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~110 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~141 ANALYSIS: DeVante Parker gets a bad rap. His career has been quite tumultuous with injuries and underperformances but he finally showed life in 2019 with a high-end WR2 season, averaging 15.4 PPG and finishing as the WR11 overall! Parker displayed his upside in this season and then […]
All-Sleeper Team - 2021 Fantasy Football
Imagine if you had to draft a fantasy football team but could only pick players from the 10th round on. That's the exercise I undertook once again. Last year, I put forth my All-Sleeper Team based on a submission to an expert ranker platform and this will be a reprisal of that column updated for […]
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 […]
Dolphins Release Linebacker Benardrick McKinney
The Dolphins have released linebacker Benardrick McKinney, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Miami acquired McKinney and a seventh-round pick from the Texans earlier this offseason, but the marriage is now over after less than six months. This preseason, the 28-year-old made two tackles and was listed as the starting linebacker on the Dolphins' […]
Miami Dolphins (D/ST, MIA) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Targets
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~185 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~204 Even though getting 10+ points per game from your defense is beneficial, we still don't want to reach and draft a D/ST early in our fantasy drafts. While some defenses like the Ravens, Steelers, and Bears have proven to be season-long holds in years past, you're […]

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 […]
