BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~190 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~275 ANALYSIS:  While everyone was lining up to draft Adam Trautman, the Saints pulled a fast one on us.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~170 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~210 ANALYSIS: We're talking league-winning upside here, so Tony Jones Jr. should be near the top of anybody's list.

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 […]

Andrew Lalama's Bold Predictions

Deeper Wide Receiver 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.
