Tight End Rankings Analysis – PPR Leagues

Tight ends might not rack up the yardage receivers do, but they can match their counterparts in the receptions department.

Alex Collins Makes The Final Cut

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins was one of the team's five running backs to survive the final cut down to 53 players.

Collins […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~145 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~164 ANALYSIS: When the Seattle Seahawks drafted running back Rashaad Penny in the first round of the 2018 draft, there were high expectations for the former San Diego State standout.

Elijah Moore (WR, NYJ) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~142 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~157 ANALYSIS: The Jets' highly-touted second-round pick out of Ole Miss has impressed in camp and has seemingly vaulted Denzel Mims and potentially even Keelan Cole on the depth chart. He's working with the first-team offense now; Jets beat writers are all worked up, and head coach Robert Saleh […]

Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - 2021 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~120 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~135 ANALYSIS: Remove tight end teammate Gerald Everett from the target mix and swap in quarterback Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff. All of a sudden, Tyler Higbee just might become something resembling the monster averaging 21.4 points a game over a five-game stretch at the end of 2019 -- when Everett was hobbled -- instead […]

Tight End Rankings Analysis - Standard Scoring

Tight end is one of the most difficult positions to draft for in fantasy due to the lack of elite talent at the position. Once the top-five guys have been drafted, it becomes much trickier for managers to pick a potential TE1 just because of things like small roles, unproven NFL talent, etc. Luckily, there […]

Path to WR1: D.K. Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has had one of the more wild rides in the NFL over the last two-and-a-half years.

Jalen Reagor – 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Jalen Reagor did not show fantasy football general managers much in 2020, but the same will not hold true in 2021. The Philadelphia Eagles’ former first-round pick was supposed to kickstart their pass-catching corps and give fantasy footballers a speedy slot receiver who could be useful in standard and dynasty leagues. Instead, Reagor gave fantasy […]

Gerald Everett - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Gerald Everett was stuck in a tight end timeshare as part of an offense whose passing attack rarely focused on its tight ends. Not anymore. Everett took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks as soon as he could leave the Los Angeles Rams this offseason. He is now a multimillionaire member of Russell Wilson’s receiving […]

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~72 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~84 ANALYSIS:  Running quarterbacks have been called a cheat code but they’re more like the clearest path to success.

Path to TE1: T.J. Hockenson

Just two years ago, the Lions used the eighth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft to select Iowa tight end T.J. Hockenson.

Chris Carson Says Seahawks Offense Is “More Explosive”

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson is coming off the 2020 season where he had trouble staying healthy.

Quarterback Draft Rankings and Analysis

Starting several years ago, the late-round QB strategy quickly caught on, becoming a staple of most fantasy managers’ drafts.
