Is Devonta Freeman The Top Fantasy RB Moving Forward?
Ladies and gentleman, meet the newest elite fantasy football running back. Coming into the season, Freeman was drafted as a mid-to-late round pick with upside, but Tevin Coleman was projected to be the workhorse RB for the team. Coleman's injury opened up a door for Freeman to assume full-time running back responsibilities, and he has... Read More

Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson both saw 11 carries in Week 4 versus the Minnesota Vikings, but once again Hillman outplayed Anderson. Taken as a 1st or 2nd round pick this year in fantasy drafts, Anderson has been a big disappointment - and now it looks like Hillman's role will continue to expand moving forward... Read More

The time has finally arrived. Later today, Arian Foster is fully expected to make his 2015 debut for the Houston Texans and fantasy football owners. Those who drafted Foster, and have been patiently waiting, can now finally plug him into their Week 4 lineups. It's possible that Foster's work can be limited today, as the Texans... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 58% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Although there were some questions about the health of talented rookie running back Duke Johnson, it looks like he will be good to go for Week 1.

Matt Jones (RB, WAS) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Round for FLEX/RB2 Upside in PPR CURRENT ADP: 189 STD, 149 PPR ANALYSIS: Okay, so here at RotoBaller we've written about Matt Jones ad nauseam, with an especially strong man-crush by lead NFL editor Edward Gorelik. Well, here we are again discussing Jones, and there's a good reason for that. Currently he has a PPR league... Read More
Owen Daniels (TE, DEN) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Mid-to-Late Rounds for TE1 Upside CURRENT ADP: 119 STD, 133 PPR ANALYSIS: Even though Daniels hasn't been a very relevant fantasy football tight end recently, he finds himself in a nice situation heading into the season. He is now reunited with Gary Kubiak, which should bring familiarity back to his role, and he has this guy... Read More
Jordan Reed (TE, WAS) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for TE1 Upside in PPR CURRENT ADP: 229 STD, 186 PPR ANALYSIS: Given the extensive injury history of Reed, I can understand why some fantasy football owners may be shying away from rostering him.

BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for FLEX Upside in PPR CURRENT ADP: 128 STD, 120 PPR ANALYSIS: I think we all know what Darren Sproles brings to the table for fantasy football purposes. The boom-or-bust running back can be a PPR monster one week, and get very few snaps another week bringing disappointment. But let's not forget that he... Read More
Reggie Bush (RB, SF) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for FLEX / RB2 Upside in PPR CURRENT ADP: 134 STD, 127 PPR ANALYSIS: We have a similar situation here with Reggie Bush, although this may not be as young and sexy as the Matt Jones scenario. Everyone expects the 49ers to be pretty bad this year, and with that the 49ers may find themselves down... Read More
Markus Wheaton (WR, PIT) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds for WR3 Upside in PPR CURRENT ADP: 169 STD, 128 PPR ANALYSIS: Even with an injury to their center Maurkice Pouncey, and early season suspensions to Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant, the Steelers are expected to be a high-powered and pass-heavy offense this year led by Ben Roethlisberger. With the news that Bryant... Read More
Rueben Randle (WR, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Late Rounds for WR3 Upside in PPR CURRENT ADP: 195 STD, 165 PPR ANALYSIS: Eli Manning will have a plethora of weapons at his disposal this season, with the likes of Odell Beckham, Victor Cruz, Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen and Larry Donnell. But let's not forget about Rueben Randle, who is currently the second wide... Read More
Brandon Coleman (WR, NO) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for WR3 Upside CURRENT ADP: 201 STD, 159 PPR ANALYSIS: Whenever the words "wide receiver" and "Drew Brees" are in the same sentence, you have to like your chances in fantasy football. With the offseason departure of non-inspiring Kenny Stills, and target monster Jimmy Graham, the young and talented rookie Coleman should immediately be catapulted... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Draft in Rounds 4-6 as WR3 with WR2 upside CURRENT ADP: 132 Standard, 99 PPR ANALYSIS: Ladies and gentleman, the average draft position of Davante Adams is about to skyrocket. With the injury news today of Jordy Nelson, who looks to have a torn ACL from the initial diagnosis, Davante Adams immediately becomes an even... Read More

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Saves Leagues OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: In today's game versus the Chicago White Sox, the Mariners threw us a curveball regarding their closer situation and who may be getting the saves chances moving forward.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Saves Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Earlier today, Drew Pomeranz nailed down the save for the Oakland Athletics in their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
