The wide receiver matchup article from Week 18 did pretty well, but to be fair, I didn't really recommend taking many risks. Rather, I recommend that you stick to higher-end receivers because Week 18 was very difficult to navigate due to the number of unclear situations heading into the weekend. Deebo Samuel (WR2) ran for […]

Watt (shoulder) had no issues after returning to practice on Thursday and is trending toward playing in Monday night's wild-card game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams.
