Nick Mariano's Early-Round Overvalued List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Everyone loves to talk about sleepers and which late-round fliers are going to deliver them to the promised land, but those picks can only blossom when overvalued landmines are left for others to step on. Here we'll be looking at two players per position […]

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

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Carolina Panthers running back C.J. Anderson. 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 […]

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 […]

Eli Manning Encouraged By Odell Beckham Jr.'s Progress

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is excited to have wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) back healthy this year, and Manning thinks his star wideout is in for a big season. "Odell looked healthy," Manning said, via ESPN's Jordan Raanan. "He was running routes full speed, making cuts and seemed to be his old […]

Sophomore Slump Candidates for 2018

The dreaded "sophomore slump," or significant drop off in production a player experiences in his second NFL season, is something that fantasy owners hope to never hear being said about a player they own or plan on drafting. The 2017 season saw plenty of rookies make noticeable, even historic impacts on their teams immediately upon […]

Jonathan Stewart May Have Very Little Left

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart, who signed a two-year, $6.8 million deal in the offseason, looked more like a plodding veteran trying to hang on in spring workouts rather than a running back capable of shouldering a heavy workload. He averaged a career-low 3.4 yards per carry with the Panthers last year and […]

Eli Manning Sees Big Things For Sterling Shepard

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning thinks wide receiver Sterling Shepard could be in for a breakout season in 2018. "I thought Sterling had a great camp during the spring," Manning told NJ Advance Media prior to the Gatorade Offense/Defense camp at Kean University on Tuesday. "He's understanding the coverages, understanding the route combinations, he […]

Kyle Lauletta Not Ready For Backup Job

New York Giants rookie quarterback Kyle Lauletta, taken in the fourth round of the draft, has questions surrounding his arm strength and he didn't do anything to quiet those concerns in spring workouts. It doesn't look like he's ready to push Davis Webb for the backup job behind Eli Manning. Still, Lauletta is worthy of […]

Kyle Richardson's Best Ball Buys List (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Fantasy owners have found themselves diving deep into best ball leagues this time of year. Most redraft leagues have not started up yet and dynasty leagues are in a dead period were all you can do is make irresponsible trades because you just want […]

Rookie Roulette - Which QB Should Go First in Dynasty Drafts?

The talk about who is the first rookie taken in dynasty drafts this year begins and ends with Giants running back Saquon Barkley. Any discussion that answers with a different name is doing so just to be a contrarian. The real question this year comes with the quarterback position, where a host of early draft […]

Pay Up! Auction Draft Strategies for 2018

There’s nothing more exciting in a fantasy football auction when you have one of your top targets up and you currently have the highest bid. You hear the auctioneer yell, “Going once”, as your palms start to sweat with anticipation. “Going twice,” you think you may have just had a heart attack. “Sold!” You suddenly […]

Who's #1 at Each Position in Dynasty?

Determining the value of any dynasty player comes down to two things. First, the player's expected production in the upcoming season, and secondly their production in seasons that are years down the line. As a dynasty team owner, it is important to understand where your roster is in terms of "rebuild" or "win now" and […]

Landon Collins In Line For Big Extension

New York Giants safety Landon Collins, who is in the final year of his four-year rookie deal, is in line for a hefty extension that could earn him around $12 million total. The first pick of the second round in 2015 is due to make $1.2 million in 2018. Things are difficult for the Giants, […]

Headlines to Watch In 2018 NFL Training Camps

Every NFL season has enticing stories to follow going into training camps and 2018 is no different. Which players are going to hold out, which teams are going to rise to the occasion and of course, why do teams go on Hard Knocks when it means bad things for their season? These types of headlines […]

2018 Rankings Analysis - Running Backs in Standard Leagues

The yards are getting harder and harder to come by for today’s running backs in the NFL. There were only nine 1,000-yard rushers in the NFL last season, the second-lowest amount over the past 15 years. The 2018 rushing champion, Kansas City’s Kareem Hunt, led the league with the lowest amount of yards (1,327) since […]

Dynasty RB Rankings Analysis (June)

As we draw ever-closer to NFL training camps, dynasty owners are gearing up for drafts already. Many rookie drafts have already begun, but the best is the dynasty startup where you get to create a new franchise from scratch. Dynasty is a different beast than redraft, so you need to know how to value each […]

Evan Engram vs 2018 Tight End Rookie Class

Oftentimes, the learning curve for tight ends entering the NFL is extremely high. A common trend among NFL coaches is to draft several tight ends and develop them for a few years as blockers and receivers before letting them have a significant portion of the team's offensive snaps/target share. For fantasy football, the tight end […]

Running Back Handcuffs Worth Drafting as Standalone Players

I've never been a handcuff enthusiast. I don't think it's an effective strategy. If I draft Kareem Hunt this year, I don't want Spencer Ware. He would just sit on my bench and have no chance at being a useful asset...unless Hunt goes down. I don't want Hunt to go down and I certainly would […]

The Million Dollar Question - RB or WR in 2018?

What’s up fantasy Jabronis?  I’m taking a stab at answering the biggest question of all: What is the meaning of life? Is there life on other planets? What does wearing pleated pants in today's age say about you? Nope. You’ll have to ask el Camello or Raphstradamus about the pants.  But I am here to […]

2018 Standard Rankings Analysis (June) - Tight Ends

It is a great time for tight ends in the NFL and in fantasy football! Tight ends are going to be all the rage for fantasy football owners in 2018, just like open-concept layouts and barn doors are the rage for people buying new houses. Fantasy owners can choose from grizzled veterans who have been […]

How Should We Value David Johnson?

David Johnson's season, and many of his fantasy owners' seasons, ended abruptly during Week 1 of the 2017 NFL Season. Fantasy's number one ranked player suffered a dislocated wrist that required season-ending surgery. Todd Gurley took over the mantle of fantasy football's best player and enters 2018 as the likely number one pick. Johnson is […]

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis - Wide Receivers (Standard)

The pass-happy NFL was not as receiver-friendly in 2017 as it was the year before. Running the ball made a comeback this past season, as did spreading the ball around to many different pass catchers instead of zoning in one guy all the time. 24 wide receivers broke the 1,000-yard barrier in 2016, compared to […]

ADP Arbitrage - Mid-round Players to Target in Redraft

You can and probably will do mock drafts every week until the cows come home, but based on the likes, dislikes and sometimes erratic decisions of your league mates, you can never be certain just how your particular situation will end up on draft night. That means that there is a chance that you miss […]
