For receivers and running backs, identifying breakout or improving players is easy. Just check the box score. It's generally simpler and more straightforward at these positions than at tight end.

The 2026 NFL season has two weeks in the books. Following Week 2, there is a fresh batch of data to parse through regarding who is making an impact, who is seeing meaningful snaps, who has earned a rotational role, and — perhaps equally as important - who is not doing any of that for […]

It's been very different results for me in terms of prop bets this season. I cleaned up in Week 1, nailing most of my calls on that slate, and then got crushed last week with a lot of bets failing to cash. We had quite a few fluky results last week, so I am hoping […]

When does overreaction turn into simple acceptance?
