Shaking the “Sleeper” Myth and Using Your Late Picks Wisely

I’m an 80s baby, so, like most of my generation, The Princess Bride played a major role in my early pop-culture consciousness. While most people remember the hulking physique of Andre The Giant or the crowd-pleasing chant of Inigo Montoya (“Hello…”), one part that stuck with me was Inigo’s calm criticism of his boss’ use […]

Five Wide Receiver Bounce Back Candidates

We're entering the peak of fantasy football draft season. Everybody is burning the midnight oil looking for the most accurate cheat sheets, trying to find the sleeper with the biggest upside, and doing mock drafts while eating dinner with his family over the weekend. It is that time of the year when hitting on the […]

Running Back Standard Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

Running backs don’t matter. This may or may not be true in the real NFL but in fantasy, it surely isn’t the case. If it were the case, why are the top four consensus players all at the position? It is always great to have one of the top guys at the position. But if […]

Darius Slayton Suffers Setback

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) tweaked his hamstring for the second time in training camp. It's unknown if Slayton will be ready for Week 1 now, but even if he is, he's not a redraft option to begin the year, even with Golden Tate suspended for the first four games. It's […]

Golden Tate Participating in Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) is working with the first-team offense without a non-contact jersey in practice Monday. Tate will miss the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances. He had 74 catches for 795 yards and four touchdowns with two teams last season. […]

Alexander Mattison (RB, MIN) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

A grand total of 33 running backs have been drafted inside the first three rounds of the NFL draft from 2015 to 2018.

Navigating Late-Round Tight Ends

When should I draft a tight end? This is one of the questions in fantasy football that gets the biggest split of answers. There is the clear cut tier of Travis Kelce (who you could argue is in a tier of his own), Zach Ertz and George Kittle, but their ADPs are high. With all […]

Tight End PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football Drafts

Tight ends are tricky in fantasy football. Due to the top-heavy nature of the position, it is typically best to either land one of the top few or to wait until the end of the draft to find one. An elite TE like Rob Gronkowski in years past can elevate your roster with his performances […]

Sterling Shepard Officially Good For Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard had been trending in the right direction with his recovery from a fractured thumb, but getting the official word is always nice. The fourth-year receiver caught 66 passes for 872 yards and four touchdowns last year. With Odell Beckham Jr. gone and Golden Tate suspended for the first […]

DeAndre Baker Getting First-Team Reps At Practice

New York Giants rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker (knee) is starting to get healthy. While we shouldn’t read into practice repetitions too much, this is a nice step in his recovery from an early knee injury and good news for a Giants secondary that is closer to getting Sam Beal back as well. The Giants likely […]

Daniel Jones To Start for Giants On Thursday

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur stated that Eli Manning will get some rest, allowing Daniel Jones to start Thursday’s preseason finale against the New England Patriots.

Mark Andrews (TE, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall Current ADP: ~155 Not only is Andrews a tight end from a team that will feature a scrambling demon at the quarterback position,  a nice new running back in Mark Ingram, and that as a unit was the most run-heavy team during the second half of the last season. He's […]

Saquon Barkley Held Out Against Cincy

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (rest) did not play during the team's Week 3 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

Around the NFL Pop Quiz: AFC South

There are some sleepers that I personally won't recommend. I refer to it as the "friends at work" rule. If you're reading this, you play fantasy football. If you play fantasy football, you're likely to talk about it with someone else. If you talk about it with someone else, it's very likely that at the […]

Second-Year Players That Will Surge

Rookie players don't always pan out in the NFL and in fantasy football. Sometimes it takes a great landing spot or an injury for a rookie to become relevant early on. This list includes some second-year players that either disappointed in 2018 or did okay, but look to take a step forward in 2019. The […]
