Let The Kids Play - A Case For Rookie RBs Over Veterans In Redraft
The common sentiment is to take established veterans over rookies in redraft leagues since we know what we are going to get out of them. If the last few seasons have taught us anything, especially at the running back position, it is that this may not always be the right strategy. Players with the talent […]

Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~170 CURRENT ADP: ~185 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki may be just the rookie tight end to hype, something that is very rare in fantasy football. Even Rob Gronkowski was not a TE1 during his rookie season and it took a perfect storm of injuries in 2017 for Evan Engram to reach that level. Luckily, since […]
Andy Dalton (QB, CIN) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~165 CURRENT ADP: ~175 ANALYSIS: Currently not even being considered in more shallow leagues, Andy Dalton still has a number of years left with the Bengals while quarterbacks like Eli Manning are still being drafted, Dalton is not. With A.J. Green still a top-five receiver in the game and rising star Joe Mixon in the backfield, Dalton should be greatly […]
Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: The brief Brandon Marshall experiment is over in NY, which will allow New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard to again claim the Giants’ number two receiver spot behind Beckham outright, much like he did in his rookie season. Both he and Beckham are working back from injuries of varying degrees, […]

Nick Mariano's 2018 Late-Round Fliers (Premium Content)
All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We’re intentionally sidestepping the term “sleeper" because I don’t want to get wrapped up in debates over these guys not being “under the radar” enough. I may still throw it into the SEO field, though...no regrets. Instead, let’s discuss some late-round fliers that are […]
Is Patrick Mahomes Really Going to Air It Out?
The Kansas City Chiefs will turn to a new quarterback in 2018, with former Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes taking the reins in Arrowhead Stadium. Known during college for his strong arm and gunslinger mentality, he takes over a Chiefs offense that has one of the league's faster wide receivers, Tyreek Hill, and a newly-acquired […]
Nick Chubb (RB, CLE) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper
We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb. While the first few rounds of every draft are essentially a wash-rinse-repeat of the consensus top-36, we can always count on those middle and late rounds to cement our confidence in this year's sleepers. The definition of […]
Odell Beckham Jr. Seeing Work Out Of The Slot
New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. is seeing a lot of work out of the slot so far in training camp. OBJ can be a real matchup nightmare on the inside, which could create even more targets and catches for the elite wide receiver. He'll come off the board in the first round […]

Road to #1 Receiver - NFC East
Each year, elite wide receivers are some of the mainstays of fantasy football rosters. With high target shares and production values, these consensus top-tier wide receivers are some of the first names off of draft boards and consistently perform well throughout the season. However, there is also a good amount of unpredictability at the position, […]
Superflex Strategy - How to Attack Draft Day
Superflex leagues, for those that don't already know, are a fantasy football setup in which every team's lineup includes at least one flex spot that can plan any offensive position, including quarterback. Typical leagues with flex spots allow for just RB/WR/TE combos, but superflex throws the high-scoring QB position in the mix. Current conventional fantasy […]

Boom or Bust - Player Predictions for Young QBs
Surely, you’ve seen one of those court shows which dominate daytime television. Judge Judy, Divorce Court, Judge Mathis… Whatever, you’ve seen at least one. If you haven’t (and happen to be a law-abiding citizen of the utmost regard who’s never had the pleasure of going to court), here’s a quick rundown of the judicial process. […]
Why This Year's Alvin Kamara Doesn't Exist
One of the biggest pitfalls of fantasy football analysis is recency bias. Whenever something new or innovative is invented or discovered, everyone is looking for "the next (insert thing) here." In fantasy football, we constantly chase last year's production at our own peril. Alvin Kamara is coming off the single most efficient season for a […]

Lotto Time - Late Draft Picks that Could Pay Off
During the draft season, we love to get hyped up on young, up-and-coming players. Spinning yarns about future stardom and inflating their draft price to the point where many of these sleepers are no longer values. The purpose of this article is to try and identify sleepers that no one is excited about - the […]
Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target ~145 CURRENT ADP: ~155 ANALYSIS: Do you like Saquon Barkley? What about Odell Beckham Jr.? Evan Engram? All of those players are being drafted at sixth or higher at their positions, yet Manning is currently the 21st quarterback off the board. It’s really easy to dislike Manning’s prospects coming into the season. He was the 24th ranked […]
C.J. Anderson (RB, CAR) - 2018 Fantasy Football Sleeper

No. 3 Job Is Cody Latimer's To Lose
New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer, who had career highs in catches (19) and yards (287) for the Broncos last year, is the leading player for the No. 3 job behind wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard. Latimer's special teams prowess is also helping him. The opportunity might be there, but there are […]
