David Njoku Misses Practice On Wednesday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday.

Experienced fantasy managers know to always hold onto rookies, especially a player like Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid.

Should I Pickup Devin Singletary? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlook

When the Houston Texans signed running back Devin Singletary, not many people thought much of it.

The […]

Amari Cooper Has Day Off To Begin The Week

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (rest, ankle) did not partake in the team's practice on Wednesday.

Should I Drop Dak Prescott In Week 7? Fantasy Football Outlook

For how harsh everyone has been on Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, the veteran signal-caller deserves some props for his performance on Monday night football.
