Jameis Winston (QB, NO) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I don't have an explanation for Jameis Winston's "low" rostership. Yes, he's nearing a fifty-fifty proposition, but that's still low to my eyes. Winston, as wild as he's been career-wise and as much criticism as he's endured, has always performed for his...

Cleveland Browns D/ST - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~225 ANALYSIS: The Browns were one of my favorite defenses coming into last season, but they didn't quite pan out. They had an up-and-down season as a fantasy unit, but their actual defensive performance wasn't that bad. As I mentioned in my draft article, when I mentioned... Read More
Baltimore Ravens D/ST - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~185 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~200 ANALYSIS: The Ravens are ranked around 13th or 14th on the season, depending on the fantasy rankings system you use, but I believe they can get back to their elite ways in 2022, or at least close to it.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~215 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~269 ANALYSIS: The 2022 offseason has been good for Mo Alie-Cox's (MAC) fantasy value.

Indianapolis did spend a third-round pick on Jelani Woods... Read More
Sammy Watkins (WR, GB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~180 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~210 ANALYSIS: Allen Lazard is the first Packer receiver off the board in fantasy drafts, but his seventh-round ADP is way too pricey for me. I expect Sammy Watkins to start on the outside and flourish with a change of scenery. How's this for a narrative? Aaron Rodgers... Read More
Gabriel Davis (WR, BUF) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~58 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~63 ANALYSIS: The Davis hype train has been steadily gaining steam all offseason and is one that I've been aboard for over a year now.

Jahan Dotson (WR, WAS) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~123 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~153 ANALYSIS: It's been proven that rookie receivers can be outstanding bets to finish the season strong and smash their ADP during the second half of the year.

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.

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... Read More
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.

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... Read More
Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~124 ANALYSIS: In 2020, the Indianapolis Colts signed veteran QB Philip Rivers to run their offense. In that one season, Rivers targeted his running backs 25% of the time, with Nyheim Hines earning himself a 14.2% target share. This was the second-highest target share on the team,... Read More
Christian Watson (WR, GB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~179 ANALYSIS: There is not a clear event happening in the past few weeks that have forced fantasy GMs into fading Watson, and in fact, looking at the chart above you can see how the fall is less pronounced from the end of June until now than... Read More
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... Read More
Alec Pierce (WR, IND) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~168 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~179 ANALYSIS: One player getting lost in much of the early rookie draft hype is Indianapolis Colts wide receiver, Alec Pierce.

JuJu Smith-Schuster (WR, KC) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~50 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~75 ANALYSIS: Everyone is so focused on JuJu Smith-Schuster's last three seasons, but let's add a little context to these numbers. In 2019, JuJu missed four games and finished with a disappointing stat line of just 40 receptions, 552 yards, and three touchdowns. However, to be fair,... Read More
DeVante Parker (WR, NE) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~126 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~149 ANALYSIS: Parker’s fantasy value is at the low point after back-to-back mediocre, injury-riddled campaigns, but I think Parker should flourish and be a fantasy sleeper with New England in 2022: New England’s roster is stocked with solid-but-not-spectacular receivers. Agholor had one superb season with the Raiders... Read More
Christian Kirk (WR, JAX) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~95 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~105 ANALYSIS: Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, Marvin Jones Jr., and Evan Engram sounds like the start of the ultimate Madden team.

Wan'Dale Robinson (WR, NYG) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~167 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~205 ANALYSIS: New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is one of the most intriguing rookie wide receivers from this year's draft.

Julio Jones (WR, TB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~127 ANALYSIS: This offseason the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed free agent wide receiver Julio Jones to bolster their receiving corps.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~87 ANALYSIS: Stevenson has been getting some sneaky hype from the fantasy community all off-season, but is he still being under-drafted? Once James White retired, the idea of a big-bodied back like Stevenson taking that role had fantasy managers salivating. Unfortunately, without Mike McDaniel, we may have... Read More
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... Read More
Elijah Moore (WR, NYJ) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~78 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~90 ANALYSIS: Towards the back end of last season, from Weeks 8-13, New York Jets’ WR Elijah Moore went on an absolute tear.

Nico Collins (WR, HOU) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~175 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~196 ANALYSIS: Collins’ ADP has elevated five rounds since August 1, as an increasing number of fantasy managers have wisely embraced his uncontested pathway toward weekly WR2 responsibilities.

Jerry Jeudy (WR, DEN) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~60 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~66 ANALYSIS: Jerry Jeudy was an outstanding collegiate player who earned first-round draft capital and had a solid rookie season, displaying explosiveness and terrific route-running en route to 856 yards on just 52 catches, good for 16.5 yards per catch. Last year, he suffered a high ankle... Read More
Jamaal Williams (RB, DET) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~125 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~142 ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams has made a career out of being the second half of the coveted one-two punch that offensive coordinators love to deploy.
