Zach Ertz (TE, PHI) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~150 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~170 ANALYSIS:  I understand that this ADP is because most people think Ertz is on his way out of Philadelphia to allow Dallas Goedert to take over the reins at the position, but I think we might be jumping the gun on that a bit. So not […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~85 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~100 ANALYSIS: Michael Thomas has an ADP lower than 130, and he's here because he's absolutely worth it.

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.

Marquez Callaway (WR, NO) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: Marquez Callaway finished his rookie season with only 21 receptions for 213 yards.

Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~180 ANALYSIS: It'll probably be a while before we truly know who the quarterback is in New Orleans, but the fact he re-signed in New Orleans back in March means that Winston had to think he had a very, very good shot at winning the job over Taysom Hill.

Latavius Murray (RB, NO) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~132 ANALYSIS: Sean Payton’s specific blueprint for redesigning the New Orleans offense remains highly uncertain as the Saints enter Week 1 without Drew Brees under center.
