Joe Maddon Thinks Jo Adell Needs More Seasoning

Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon thinks top outfield prospect Jo Adell "needs more time in the minor leagues, no question."

Broncos Defense Flounders Against Bills

The Denver Broncos Defense shouldn't have been on anyone's fantasy radar for Week 15 against the Bills on Saturday, and they proved why as Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen carved them up for 359 yards passing and two touchdowns while also adding two scores and 33 yards on the ground on three carries. One of Buffalo's […]

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy managed to catch just one of his five targets for 19 yards in the 48-19 loss to the Bills on Saturday in Week 15.

Bouye is suspended for the […]

Brandon McManus Needs To Be Avoided

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus shouldn't be in any starting fantasy lineups this weekend for a Week 15 matchup against the Bills on Saturday.
