Late-Round Lottery Tickets and Breakout Candidates

The 2020 fantasy football draft season is finally upon us. One thing fantasy managers should be routinely doing is mock drafting to learn where the players they are targeting might go in their drafts. You can never mock draft too much. Another reason to mock draft is to learn which players are available at the […]

Does Houston Have a David Johnson Problem?

David Johnson might be one of the most head-scratching backs for the 2020 season. I mean, what happened to him? According to FantasyPros, the back had the first overall average draft position (ADP) in 2017. His ADP has currently plummeted to 44th as the 21st RB off the board for 2020. Ironically, this is one spot […]

We're right in the heart of draft season, so it's the perfect time to release my final PPR rankings. These are tiered rankings organized by position.

Julian Edelman Will Likely See Less Work As Punt Returner

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will likely see less work as a punt returner this season so the team can give the 34-year-old player more opportunities to be effective in the passing game. The veteran still remains one of the most valuable offensive pieces on the team and just needs more time to […]

Pierre Camus's 2020 All-Sleeper Team

What's fantasy football draft season without sleepers? Don't worry, I won't waste your time with some convoluted explanation of what constitutes a sleeper. That's because these picks were created with specific guidelines I was given, so it removed some of the brainwork required and left more in the tank for me to elaborate on why […]

James White (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football PPR Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~65 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~82+ ANALYSIS: Every year it is the same story. It never fails. It is turning in a 12-month-round event. Every year, I think James White will be properly valued, and I always find myself on the wrong side of things. We're talking PPR leagues here mostly (White's bread […]

Brandin Cooks (WR, HOU) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~75 Overall CURRENT ADP:~93 ANALYSIS: At first glance, you would think that a wide receiver that has been traded to his fourth team in seven seasons would be a shaky investment from a fantasy perspective. While his 2019 season was certainly a downer, Cooks has a proven track record in his ability […]

Tarik Cohen (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~88 ANALYSIS: Cohen's profile and his situation in Chicago is the classic pass-catching, no.2-tailback one. In fact, James White might be the prime example of this and PFF has White projected to 143 PPR points in 2020 with Cohen coming in at 173... and still getting drafted half […]

Julian Edelman (WR, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~76 ANALYSIS: The last time I wrote about Julian Edelman, more than a month ago when New England was still penciling QB Jarrett Stidham as its starter, it made sense to be at least a little bit worried about Edelman's upside entering 2020. Tom Brady was no […]

Damien Harris (RB, NE) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~158 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: Elephant in the room alert - Patriots running backs can't be trusted. Now that we've addressed the obvious issue, let's understand that this New England team will be unlike any we've seen in this millenium because this will be the first time Tom Brady isn't there. […]

Patriots Release Lamar Miller

The New England Patriots have released running back Lamar Miller, ending his tenure in New England before he played a single regular season game. Miller was coming off a torn ACL last preseason. Miller's an interesting free agent if he's fully recovered from the injury, as he rushed for 973 yards in 2018 with the […]

Hayden Epinette’s Bold Predictions for 2020 Fantasy Football

With a strange set of circumstances surrounding this NFL season, there may be far more unexpected breakouts and stunning disappointments than ever before.

N'Keal Harry (WR, NE) - Wide Receiver Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 180+ (Undrafted) ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry will look to prove that the Patriots made the right call drafting him in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He steps into the starting WR1 role on a team that is desperate for talent. Julian […]

Cam Newton Humbled In New England?

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton said he's not taking his new opportunity as the starting signal-caller of the Patriots for granted. Newton was also named a team captain.

Patriots Name Cam Newton Their Starting QB

The New England Patriots officially named quarterback Cam Newton the starting QB on Thursday in a team meeting, according to a source. Newton was also named as one of the team's captains for 2020, so he seems to be fitting in just fine with his new squad. The former MVP was basically a lock for […]

Damien Harris Has Surgery On Pinkie Finger

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (pinkie) missed the last two days of practice and recently had surgery on his pinkie finger, which will take a few weeks to heal, according to a source.

Updated Running Back Draft Rankings - Standard Scoring (Non-PPR)

The NFL might be a quarterback-driven, pass-first league these days, but you are not going to win a fantasy football league without a decent running back corps. Even though more NFL teams are going with a running-back-by-committee philosophy rather than relying on a running back to be a three-down workhorse, fantasy rosters have to be […]

Boom or Bust WR Predictions: Brandin Cooks, DeVante Parker, Calvin Ridley

There is a tremendous amount of depth at the wide receiver position in fantasy football this season. At the same time, the trend of NFL teams using the running back by committee approach is making it harder and harder to find a bell-cow running back these days. Consequently, most football players have justifiably abandoned the […]

Mohamed Sanu Released By Patriots Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu was released Wednesday in a surprise move that further thins the wideout group that quarterback Cam Newton will have at his disposal in 2020. The Patriots gave up a second-round Draft selection to acquire Sanu last year, as he appeared in eight games (six starts) and hauled in […]
