BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
ANALYSIS: After the recent news that Robert Woods had suffered a torn ACL, the Rams needed to make adjustments, and that partly came in the form of signing ex-Cleveland Brown Odell Beckham Jr. It has also necessitated the utilization of 6'3, 224-lb. rookie WR Ben Skowronek, who was drafted in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft after posting 456 scrimmage yards and six total touchdowns for Notre Dame in 2020 in just nine games, 29 catches, and two carries.
While Skowronek made his first appearances with special teams, he had taken only 14 offensive snaps until week eight when he caught all three targeted passes for thirty yards in 20 offensive snaps. He took only three without a look in the passing game last week against the Titans, but this week during MNF in the rearranged LA receiving core, he saw a season-high 42 offensive snaps (76%), and while he only caught one pass for eight yards, his five targets were tied with Tyler Higbee for fourth on the team. Even with OBJ in the mix, the window of opportunity that has opened up in the Rams passing game together with Ben Skowronek's versatility make him a prime "diamond in the rough" candidate in deeper PPR formats.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~105 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~115 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is the epitome of consistency, spending his career below the elite tier of fantasy quarterbacks. Over the past four seasons, he has finished as the QB13, QB18, QB9, and QB 11, respectively. In 2021, the veteran passed for 4,221 yards and 33... Read More
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... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~9 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~17 ANALYSIS: Barkley is now two years removed from his ACL tear and free of Joe Judge and Jason Garrett. Sure, he has disappointed the past two seasons. However, he is still 25 years old, playing for a new contract, in a better offensive scheme, and running... Read More
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~15 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~22 ANALYSIS: Lamb is set up to have an absolutely monster year as he heads into his third season with the Cowboys. Will it be good enough to outproduce Kupp and Chase on his way to a top-2 finish at the position? I think there is a... Read More
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
