Less than one year later, many fantasy […]

Raiders D/ST Predictably Comes Up Empty Against Denver

The Las Vegas Raiders defense/special teams scored exactly zero points in fantasy leagues that use normal scoring rules in Week 12.

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 12 - Chuba Hubbard, Jonathan Taylor, D'Andre Swift, more

Why Jerry Jones The Owner Must Fire Jerry Jones The GM

The Dallas Cowboys have consistently had numerous problems over the last couple of years, and many of them can be traced back to one source -- the President, Owner, and General Manager of the team, Jerry Jones.
