Ronnie Hillman Outplays C.J. Anderson Again

For the third time in four games Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson has been outplayed by Ronnie Hillman.  So, does this mean that Anderson is no longer the lead back for the Broncos?

Fantasy Rookie Dynasty Profile: CLE RB Duke Johnson

When you think of a rookie RB this season to recommend for dynasty leagues, the first couple of names stick out are Todd Gurley and Melvin Gordon III.

Why DeAndre Hopkins Can Be Even Better in 2015

DeAndre Hopkins is the ideal draft value for me this year.  One main reason is he will no longer be under the shadow of Andre Johnson and be the true #1 WR for the Houston Texans. With Johnson going to the Colts, I expect that Hopkins will see an increase in targets and overall numbers from […]
