Smashmouth - Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football For Week 8

There is an epidemic sweeping the NFL in 2017, the lack of offensive precision in the majority of the league.

Thursday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 8)

John Madden would be proud of how Oakland showed up to play last week...

Week 8 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

In today’s installment, I want to give you a peek behind the curtain as to my motivation for writing this article each week, but I’ll start with a mea culpa on the Green Bay Packers passing game. My gut call on the Packers pass-catchers was that they were more likely to surprise in a positive […]

Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week 7 was a rather ugly slate overall, though folks who didn’t bail on Ezekiel Elliott were handsomely rewarded (as were all Dallas-player stocks) and many might feel that “no news is good news” after we’ve seen several top players go down these past few weeks.
