Rookie fever is in full swing in fantasy football circles as we continue to work through the aftermath of the NFL Draft. We know many of the big names that will climb the ADP charts the closer we get to September but it’s just as crucial to hit on some potential hidden gems among the first-year players. Hitting on those guys is a huge step towards winning your league. Below, I’ll offer up 10 players drafted in Round 3 or later who could provide some under-the-radar fantasy appeal as… Source link

The regular season is less than two weeks old, but fantasy trade talks are already flying fast and furious in Yahoo! leagues. Here are some of my best tips for making April deals.
