The Seahawks Offense: Is the Kitchen Closed?

After the first eight weeks of the 2020 season, Russell Wilson was the No. 1 quarterback in fantasy football, averaging 30.2 points per game.

What Is Carson Wentz's Dynasty Value Now?

There's no two ways around it, Carson Wentz has had a terrible season. Heading into Week 14, at the end of the fantasy regular season, he leads the NFL in interceptions and was just replaced in the lineup with rookie Jalen Hurts. While much of this was not his fault, a lot of it was. […]

NFL Betting Picks For Week 14 (12/13/2020) - Moneylines, Totals, and Spreads

Statcast Review - Hard Hit/Exit Velocity Pitching Leaders

Pitcher contact quality can be a tricky attribute for fantasy managers to incorporate into their analysis.

First things first; this will be a shortened piece this week. Still three picks, still three score predictions and still a parlay.
