2022 Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers by NFL Position

ALL - RB - WR - TE - QB - DEF

 

Taysom Hill - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Taysom Hill (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Another year, another Taysom Hill discussion about adding him off the waiver wire. As a QB, Hill won't score enough points to justify rostering him. But since he is TE eligible on many platforms, he becomes an intriguing waiver wire pickup for […]

Tyler Higbee - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Higbee took advantage of No. 3 WR Van Jefferson being out of the lineup and was targeted 11 times in the Super Bowl champion Rams’ Thursday night loss. Yes, he was only able to manage 39 receiving yards on that treasure trove […]

2 years ago

Gerald Everett (TE, LAC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Chargers' offense is as stacked with explosive runners and receivers as Buffalo Wild Wings is with chicken and sauces. Fantasy managers knew that Everett, who set career-highs across the board (albeit modest ones) last year with the Seattle Seahawks, would be […]

Evan Engram - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Tight Ends

Evan Engram (TE, JAX) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~181 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~211 ANALYSIS: After five seasons with the New York Giants, Engram now finds himself in Jacksonville after signing a one-year, fully guaranteed $9 million contract with the Jaguars. The last two seasons in New York have been a blur for all involved, and that includes Engram. He scored […]

2 years ago

Mo Alie-Cox (TE, IND) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~215 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~269 ANALYSIS: The 2022 offseason has been good for Mo Alie-Cox's (MAC) fantasy value. Jack Doyle retired after nine seasons with the Colts and MAC was handed a generous three-year, $18 million contract extension with $8.2 million guaranteed. Indianapolis did spend a third-round pick on Jelani Woods […]

austin hooper fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Austin Hooper (TE, TEN) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~225 ANALYSIS: Austin Hooper spent the last two seasons in Cleveland after beginning his career with the Atlanta Falcons. In those two seasons with the Browns, Hooper found himself splitting reps with both David Njoku and Harrison Bryant. He went from averaging 6.4 targets per game in […]

2 years ago

Tyler Higbee - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Tyler Higbee (TE, LAR) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~155 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~176 ANALYSIS: Everything lined up for Higbee to be a top-10 fantasy tight end in 2021. He had Matthew Stafford replacing Jared Goff as his quarterback, and longtime tight end teammate Gerald Everett took his talents to the Seattle Seahawks, so Higbee no longer had to share […]

2 years ago

Albert Okwuegbunam (TE, DEN) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~155 ANALYSIS: Third-year tight end Albert Okwuegbunam is set to take over as the starting tight end in Denver after Noah Fant was dealt to Seattle in the Russell Wilson trade. But maybe not so fast, as the Broncos took UCLA TE Greg Dulcich with the 80th […]

2 years ago

Pat Freiermuth (TE, PIT) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~116 ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth put together an incredible rookie season that was largely overshadowed by what fellow rookie tight end Kyle Pitts did. He finished with seven receiving touchdowns, tied for the fifth-most ever by a rookie tight end, and 497 receiving yards, the 10th most by a […]

dawson knox fantasy football rankings NFL DFS lineup picks

Dawson Knox (TE, BUF) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~88 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~96 ANALYSIS: Knox was one of the biggest breakouts at the tight end position in 2021, if not the biggest. He went from being a touchdown-dependent pass catcher who was lucky to average 30 receiving yards per game to being a dominant red-zone fantasy force who set […]

2 years ago

Darren Waller - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Darren Waller (TE, OAK) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~45 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~50 ANALYSIS: Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has always been Derek Carr's No. 1 option in the passing game in his first three seasons as a starter. He's averaged 8.4 targets per game across 46 fully healthy games. But 2022 will be different. Not only did the […]

2 years ago

kyle pitts fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

Kyle Pitts (TE, ATL) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~24 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~32 ANALYSIS: A pretty vanilla take as many analysts have been screaming about Kyle Pitts from the rooftops all offseason, he is simply a generational talent that is too great to ignore. While many of you are probably sick and tired of hearing about him, the landscape […]

Zach Ertz - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Zach Ertz (TE, ARI): 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~88 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~96 ANALYSIS: Why are people writing Zach Ertz off the fantasy books already? Yes, Ertz had a horrid 2020 season. Also relevant: Ertz was playing for an Eagles franchise that didn't even know what they were doing as an organization, so it made sense for him to […]

2 years ago

Cole Kmet (TE, CHI) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: Chicago’s top tight end finally broke out of Jimmy Graham’s shadow and more than doubled his reception, receiving yards, and target totals in his sophomore season. That was a mini breakout of sorts since Kmet was far from a fantasy force during his rookie campaign. […]

2 years ago

Dallas Goedert - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Dallas Goedert (TE, PHI) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~75 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~83 ANALYSIS: Goedert is being drafted as the TE8 in drafts, but I think he has the potential to crack the top 3 and carries just as much upside as Kyle Pitts who is being taken around 50 picks earlier. The Philly pass-catcher is poised for a […]

2 years ago

John Bates (TE, WAS): Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: 6'6, 259-lb. tight end John Bates had a total of 579 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 23 games over four seasons at Boise State, and despite that limited sample ended up getting drafted in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft […]

3 years ago

Jared Cook (TE, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The presence of Donald Parham Jr. in Los Angeles' roster has impacted Jared Cook's production all season long. That, also, affected the fantasy GMs' views of Cook's upside and his rostership, which is still bordering the 50% at the end of the […]

3 years ago

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This Sunday marked Logan Thomas' second game after his Week 4 injury just five snaps into that game. Thomas, of course, finished last season as a top-3 tight end and the 85th-best player overall in PPR leagues. No joke, is what I […]

3 years ago

Evan Engram (TE, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A new offensive coordinator did not do much to change Engram’s role or the fate of the Giants offense this past Sunday, but Engram has been steady if not spectacular over the last five games (17-146-2). The Giants have not been able […]

3 years ago

Jack Doyle (TE, IND) - Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: You might not love Jack Doyle, but you have to acknowledge how even on a low snap share the Colts tight end has been able to put up numbers more often than not--most of them all in the past five weeks and […]

3 years ago

Cole Kmet (TE, CHI) - Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: There is a thing about Chicago and it is that the Bears have pretty much sucked for most of the season. Not happy enough with the start to their campaign, Chicago moved on from veteran Andy Dalton to rookie Justin Fields at […]

3 years ago

Adam Trautman (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues UPDATE: After this was written and published, it was announced that Trautman will be out for several weeks with an injury. ANALYSIS: The Saints couldn't do a thing to defeat Philly this past Sunday, but that isn't quite surprising considering they have lost their […]

3 years ago

Tyler Conklin (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you have been managing fantasy football teams for a long time, you might know. If you have not, you definitively don't. I'm talking about the rail-thin tight end position and the very very few viable options for fantasy GMs out there. […]

3 years ago

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't know why I keep writing about Dan Arnold weekly, given that none of you fantasy GMs out there seem to be paying attention. I guess I still have some hopes you will one day roster and start Arnold in your […]

3 years ago

Tyler Conklin (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It just shows how light the tight end position is with waiver wire talent that Conklin has been recommended every week throughout the season even though he has one touchdown in eight games. He has 13 receptions for 173 yards over Minnesota’s […]

3 years ago

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Who predicted that Arnold would end up being the top target in Jacksonville’s passing attack this season, especially since he did not even begin the year there? If you somehow did then I need you to tell me who I should start […]

3 years ago

Pat Freiermuth (TE, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Freiermuth was my top tight end waiver pick heading into Week 9 and then hauled in two touchdown tosses from Ben Roethlisberger on a national stage Monday night, so he has to be No. 1 for the second week in a row. Freiermuth was […]

3 years ago

Adam Trautman (TE, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Trevor Siemian now officially at the helm, the many weapons of the New Orleans Saints offense have had another opportunity to shake out their place in the workload, and it appears that second-year tight end Adam Trautman remains a part of that […]

3 years ago

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you remember, the Jaguars traded for Dan Arnold a few weeks ago and Arnold debuted for Jacksonville back in Week 4... only to put up a dud of just 4.9 PPR points against Cincy. All he could do back then was […]

3 years ago

Tyler Conklin (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Conklin was added in 16 percent of leagues during his bye week, which is either a testament to what fantasy managers think of him or an indictment of the tight end crop out there on fantasy free agent lists. Minnesota’s top tight […]

C.J. Uzomah fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Uzomah was probably the most popular tight end on waiver wires last week as he was scooped up in 30 percent of leagues. His inconsistency is maddening, but he has five touchdowns and two 90-yard efforts over his last five games, so […]

3 years ago

Pat Freiermuth (TE, PIT) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: A new era has begun at tight end in Pittsburgh. Eric Ebron had a good run in 2020 and brought some stability back to the position, but he was never the long-term answer for the Steelers. The team needed a dependable tight end with […]

C.J. Uzomah fantasy football rankings news NFL DFS lineup picks

C.J. Uzomah (TE, CIN) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Back in Week 4, everything pointed toward C.J. Uzomah's 26.5 PPR-point game as an outlier by nature. Three games after that and entering the mid-point of the season next weekend, though, are we sure this man can't turn into the WW steal […]

Robert Tonyan (TE, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Guess who’s back and found his way to the end zone for the first time since Week 2? Tonyan shocked the fantasy world with 11 touchdowns in 2020, and he was shocking it again by posting Ryan Griffin-like numbers until he put up […]

3 years ago

Foster Moreau (TE, LV) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As surprising as it was, as we had no prior information about the possibilities of it happening this Sunday, Las Vegas TE Darren Waller was scratched from this past weekend's game against Philly. That opened the door to backup TE Foster Moreau […]

3 years ago

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Quite a ridiculous development this one involving Ricky Seals-Jones and his current league-winning upside, but here we are folks. Logan Thomas got banged up back in Week 4 and has not played a single game since. Ricky, Washington's TE2 till that week […]

3 years ago

Evan Engram (TE, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I get the concerns about Evan Engram's upcoming/potential usage falling down once the Giants' receivers start to get healthy as the season progresses. Now, my question is, will that truly happen? Not the loss of targets by Engram, but the receiving corps getting healthier. […]

3 years ago

Zach Ertz (TE, ARI) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 60% of Leagues ANALYSIS: All fantasy experts and football pundits knew Ertz would eventually get traded, but most did not predict it would happen mid-season. The longtime veteran and fantasy stud had the perfect swan song of an ending in his last game as a Philadelphia […]

3 years ago

Gerald Everett (TE, SEA) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We hadn't been able to watch Gerald Everett play football since Week 3 before he got canned from the squad due to COVID-19 protocols for two of the past three weeks. He finally came back last Sunday, and although he found himself […]

3 years ago

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 29% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Did it took a few weeks for Ricky Seals-Jones to take off the rust? Sure. Has he already warmed the fantasy stove? You bet. Seals-Jones played 25 snaps combined from W1 to W3... only to log 62 (!) in Week 4 alone. […]

3 years ago

O.J. Howard (TE, TB) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's already been three weeks for Rob Gronkowski sitting on the shelf. On the other hand, it's been five games for an O.J. Howard whose importance and value (in both the real and fantasy football worlds) have grown by the week, though not […]

3 years ago

Hunter Henry (TE, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Let's start in reverse order. Jonnu Smith has played more than 50% of the Patriots' offensive snaps in just two games this season, including last Sunday's, though he only got 5+ targets in one of those and this last weekend those dropped […]

3 years ago

Evan Engram (TE, NYG) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: How amazing is it that the Giants' offense is losing players left and right, but Engram is one of the few healthy guys standing upright? He was able to put up a season-high four catches for 55 yards against Dallas and should […]

3 years ago

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The same as we chase backup rushers just in case, we can do so with players at any other position. Enter tight end Ricky Seals-Jones, current TE1 of the Washington Footies after Logan Thomas was forced out of Week 4 after playing just […]

3 years ago

Dan Arnold (TE, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The Jaguars acquired Dan Arnold in a trade a couple of weeks back, but they couldn't really throw him out there on the field for a ton of plays in their Week 4 outing against Cincy. With barely a few training reps […]

3 years ago

David Njokou (TE, CLE) - Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Was last Sunday a mirage? Was it a flukey performance from Browns TE2 David Njoku? Hmm... could be the case, but let's keep calm and assess the situation here for a minute. Njoku, whose Week 5 performance went for more PPR points than […]

3 years ago

Tyler Conklin (TE, MIN) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Christopher Herndon remains as invisible as Wonder Woman’s plane after the team trading for him following the preseason injury to Irv Smith Jr. Meanwhile, Conklin has averaged four receptions and 5.5 targets per game over the opening month of the season. He has […]

3 years ago

Cameron Brate (TE, TB) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Brate will undoubtedly be Tampa Bay’s pass-catching tight end while Rob Gronkowski nurses his injured ribs. Need proof? Brate has out-targeted O.J. Howard 11 to 2 the past two games while Gronk has been sidelined. The veteran hasn't done a whole lot with his opportunity, […]

3 years ago

Hunter Henry (TE, NE) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: We all knew Henry and Jonnu Smith were going to cancel out a lot of each other’s fantasy value this season. Henry is turning a slight corner, though. He has broken the 30-yard barrier in all four of his games, scored his first touchdown of […]

Dawson Knox (TE, BUF) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Barring a game playing to TE2 levels in Week 1 to kick the year off, the truth is that we can't ask more from Dawson Knox. The Bills' tight end has hit the floor running and in all three games starting in W2 […]
