Nelson Agholor Catches Two Passes in Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor caught just two passes in Week 1, gaining 11 yards.

Closers and Saves Report - Week 23 Waiver Wire
A particularly quiet bullpen week leading into- or starting, depending on your league- the fantasy playoffs makes for less drama, but maybe more worry?

It almost seems like since sort of nothing happened in bullpens this week, maybe everything will happen next week, right in the fantasy playoffs. […]

Cowboys Defense Should be a Strong Week 1 Play
The Dallas Cowboys Defense should be a solid fantasy option in Week 1. Taking on a nearly non-existent New York Giants offense, the Cowboys should have no problem putting up a strong fantasy performance. While the Giants will feature running back Saquon Barkley, their passing game will likely be non-existent, allowing the Cowboys to consistently […]
