Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season is officially in the books. We finally have real data to dissect. Overreactions will undoubtedly be made, but there's also a lot of good information we can use to help make decisions as we head into Week 2 and beyond. In this weekly column, we'll be looking at […]

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 […]

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 (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 […]

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 […]

J.D. McKissic (RB, WAS) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~140 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~154 ANALYSIS: McKissic was so close to being a Buffalo Bill in 2022, but the Washington Commanders plucked him right from the hands of Bills general manager Brandon Beane. It's clear they value McKissic's contributions on the football field or they would have just let him walk […]

Melvin Gordon (RB, WAS) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~90 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~98 ANALYSIS: After two productive seasons in Denver, Melvin Gordon III signed a one-year, $4 million deal to remain with the Broncos in 2022. The difference between this season and the two previous ones is that Gordon is likely to play more of a 1B role. It'll […]

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 […]

3 Overvalued Wide Receivers for Fantasy Football: Potential Busts In 2022

I don't fade players, I fade average draft positions (ADPs). For one reason or another, whether it's past performance or injury history, some guys get drafted too high or too low. In this article, we'll take a look at three overvalued fantasy football wide receivers that are potential busts in 2022. Now, that doesn't mean […]

Jalen Hurts (QB, PHI) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~45 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~65 ANALYSIS: In Hurts' first full season as the Eagles' starting quarterback, he finished as the QB6 with 21.4 fantasy points per game. And that was also Nick Sirianni's first season as head coach in Philadelphia. But let's break down why Hurts could ascend all the way […]

Leonard Fournette (RB, TB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~20 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~25 ANALYSIS: There's no good explanation for why Fournette is going outside the top-12 running backs right now. He got off to a slow start last season, but that was out of his control. He didn't truly take the reigns of the backfield until Week 4 when […]

Adam Koffler's Bold Predictions for the 2022 Fantasy Football Season

If you don't appreciate a good bold prediction, you don't like fun. Bold predictions are inherently fun and elicit strong reactions from lots of people. Now, bold predictions, while bold of course, should have sound justification for why they could come to fruition. While I really like Nyheim Hines this season, stating he'll be a […]

Tony Pollard (RB, DAL) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~79 ANALYSIS: Make no mistake about it, Tony Pollard is Ezekiel Elliott's backup. That's been clear the past three seasons. The Cowboys continue to be hamstrung by Zeke's six-year, $90M contract extension signed back in 2019 and are essentially forced to give him most of the touches. […]

The Case Against Drafting Najee Harris for 2022 Fantasy Football

Recently, I joined a Twitter Spaces hosted by fellow RotoBaller Kyle Lindemann (@LuckIsMadeFF on Twitter). It was right after news dropped that RB Jeremy McNichols signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. You may think this news is highly insignificant, but I'm here to make the case that it's not, and I made that […]

Adam Koffler's Running Back Sleepers for 2022 Fantasy Football Drafts

What's a "sleeper?" Well, it's really quite simple. A sleeper is a player that you expect to outproduce their average draft position (ADP) or produce better than players with a similar ADP. It could be that you have Travis Etienne ranked as RB10 and his ADP is RB24. He'd be considered a sleeper because you're […]
