Broncos Believe Russell Wilson Is Fixable

Denver Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner said on Tuesday that he has faith that general manager George Paton and quarterback Russell Wilson can turn things around after a miserable 2022 season.

Dalton Schultz Firmly On TE1 Radar

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz only caught two of four targets for 15 yards in the Week 15 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but fantasy managers should still be treating him as a must-start TE1 at the weakest position in fantasy. The Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas' Week 16 opponent on Saturday, have been pretty […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Listed As Questionable

Miami Dolphins running backs Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) and Myles Gaskin (illness) are both listed as questionable to play on Christmas Day on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16.
