Purdy, Purdy, Purdy, Purdayy! Could it be, could it be, that you’re joking with me? There’s a little Kaiser Chiefs song reference from their 2007 song Ruby. It fits all too well, as Brock Purdy had a flawless debut. Now on Thursday, we get to see if he is for real or just joking when... Read More

Booms and Busts: Week 14 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds, Including: D'Andre Swift, Garrett Wilson, Najee Harris, Stefon Diggs, Dak Prescott
Last week was full of big swings and unfortunate misses.

The Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints, and Washington Commanders are on a bye this week, but those teams don't have high-end fantasy kickers, so Week 14 should be fairly straightforward at the position.

Booms and Busts: Week 13 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds Including Jimmy Garoppolo, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Jefferson, Tee Higgins, Aaron Jones, Saquon Barkley
Week 12 was the ultimate boom-or-bust week. This is partly because Josh Jacobs had a historical day, totaling over 300 yards and two scores. However, we also had booms such as Zay Jones, JaMycal Hasty, and Jelani Woods. And yes, CeeDee Lamb also had a great week, a player that I foolishly claimed to be... Read More
