Week 12 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football
Thanksgiving is already here as the NFL season continues its whirlwind pace.

And now […]

Week 12 Consistency Reports - Start/Sit Decisions
Week 12 is a weird week for fantasy football. The short week for six teams made a lot of players tough to trust, and now owners are left searching for value on a very reduced Sunday slate. We have also seen the Rams and Chiefs lost from the week as they are on a bye. […]

It's Time to Worry About Matthew Stafford
During draft season, Matthew Stafford was looked at as one of a handful of decent quarterbacks to select if you were waiting at the position.

The Cut List - Players on the Chopping Block (Week 12)

What's Wrong with Jordan Reed?
Rule 86: If Jordan Reed is in Washington's lineup, he should be in yours. This was the rule to live by when it came to Jordan Reed throughout his career. One of the NFL's most dynamic playmakers, Reed struggled to stay on the field but shined when he was on it. Reed led all tight ends […]
