Craig DeLauder - Fantasy Sports Contributor: The Wagner Wire Hello all you fantasy fanatics! I am coming to you today with my assessment on some players that could be called "sleepers". Even with all the information in today's fantasy landscape, the term sleeper has become a little antiquated. We can still label these players undervalued or under the radar. With that said, lets get to the list of some players that can make you look like the smartest person at your draft this year. The All Under Valued Team Eli Manning: Quarterback - New York Giants I know you're thinking, "Eli Manning!" Hear me out. Eli is almost always free in fantasy drafts. You can take him as your 2nd quarterback very late in the

Sweet Fantasy Week 14 DFS Value Picks
Chris Sweet - Fantasy Sports Analyst: The Wagner Wire Whew, Did everyone catch their breath yet? Week 13 was....exciting. After 3 weeks of down scoring we saw cash lines that were upwards of 180 in most contests. It's hard to predict exactly when a week like that can happen so maximizing your value is always a critical aspect of putting your lineups together. Being able to afford the most high priced assets at RB and WR is a key to cashing on a regular basis. That's why what I try to provide every week are players at each position that will out produce their price and yet give you cap relief to afford as many high priced Studs as possible. So
Sweet Fantasy – Week 13 DFS Value Picks
Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Sports Analyst: The Wagner Wire My loyal subjects, Your King Sweet Fantasy is back to find some values in a full Week 13 slate of 15 games. Week 12 treated me well and I went a little contrarian with my cash lineup. I took Philip Rivers as my QB coming off a terrible performance the week before. Nobody wants to back a guy that just got smoked the week before but sometimes that can work to your advantage. Rivers was less than 4% owned in all of my contests even though he had one of the best match ups of the day. So don't be afraid to use a QB this week that looked bad last
Just The Tip – Who Ya Got?
DZ - Fantasy Sports Analyst: The Wagner Wire Degenerates, Week 12 in the NFL brought more injuries, lack of production, and players stepping up their game. Chris Johnson and Tony Romo may have BROKEN your DFS/FF chances last weekend, but other players like Julius Thomas, Markus Wheaton, and Antonio Gates really stepped their game up. A new week brings a new challenge. So....Who Ya Got this week? Here are 3 players I'm rolling with for sure in Week 13! Julius Thomas/TE/Jags DK-$4000/Draftpot-6.95 Is he back? Has Julius Thomas joined Stella and got his groove back? He looks like he may have after a big performance in Week 12!?!? Thomas has found the end zone in back to back weeks. Last week he posted a stat
Sweet Fantasy – Week 11 DFS Value Picks
Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Advisor - The Wagner Wire Week 10 was one to remember. The Wagner Wire took the DFS Players Conference by storm and hung out with the Big Boys. Not to mention fellow TWW Analyst, Dave Zidek, played more than Just The Tip, and placed 2nd in a large tournament. Week 10 is in the books though so let's put all the crazy upsets behind us and start looking forward to Week 11. Surprisingly there are some great values this week to be had if you look in the right places, and you will notice a theme in the QBs section. There are some better options north of $6,000 on DK but that is my cutoff for QBs so I will
Just The Tip – Just Relax!
DZ - Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire Degenerates, Quite the weekend in the NFL. Big Ben, Luck, Bridgewater, and plenty more were injured this weekend. Is your FF team and personal pride on the verge of going down the toilet? Just relax....JUST THE TIP has got some info to help your struggles. Landry Jones/QB/Steelers With a few QBs on the injury report, Landry, can be a solid fill in. He is facing a struggling Browns team that has been piecing together their secondary lately. Joe Haden has missed a lot of time this season with injuries and a concussion. Even if he is able to play this week he will surely be rusty. Pair that with the Steelers playing at home, Landry getting some

Week 3 Thursday Night Preview Redskins at Giants
Chris Sweet – Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire Hey there Fantasy freaks, Your Sweet Fantasy is bringing you a quick look at tonight's game between the Redskins and Giants for Season Long Fantasy and DFS purposes. I'm going to start off by saying I don't love this game for DFS purposes but if you get in a contest that includes tonight's game fading the game entirely may be the best bet as the Thursday Night guys usually have high ownership and if it's a stinker of a game that will benefit you. Washington Redskins Must Plays: Jordan Reed - Tight End I don't know that there is a must start for the Redskins in tonight's game but a good option at TE in all formats
