Despite a three-year career with fantasy football production rarely seen, Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson continues to be someone overlooked heading into the 2018 season.

Isaiah Crowell (RB, NYJ) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~100 CURRENT ADP: ~110 ANALYSIS: The reason last season’s performance was such a let-down for New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell owners is due to the promise that he showed the previous season. His 2016-2017 numbers were not necessarily breathtaking, but he finished that year as the 14th best running back in […]

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 […]

We continue our preseason fantasy football sleeper series with a look at Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb.

The definition of […]

Jets Open To Trading Teddy Bridgewater

Sam Darnold Has A Shot To Start In Week 1

Jordan Leggett's Knee Issues Behind Him

New York Jets tight ends coach Jimmie Johnson said tight end Jordan Leggett's knee issues are behind him after he missed all of 2017.

The New York Jets are unlikely to move on from wide receiver Jermaine Kearse after he posted career highs in catches (65) and receiving yards (810) to go along with five touchdowns, which tied a career high.

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?

Quincy Enunwa Expected To Be Slot Man

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa, who missed all of last year after neck surgery to fix a bulging disc, said he is fully healthy and ready to go. He was on his way to becoming the team's No. 1 receiver last year after breaking out in 2016 with 58 catches for 857 yards […]

Thomas Rawls On The Roster Bubble

New York Jets running back Thomas Rawls will probably be the odd man out in the running back room during training camp, and he is the longest shot to make the roster of the five running backs, including Isaiah Crowell, Bilal Powell, Elijah McGuire, Trenton Cannon and Lawrence Thomas. Rawls never played more than 13 […]

Bilal Powell Must Fight For Playing Time
