With the NFL’s trade deadline fast approaching, fantasy managers should start positioning themselves to capitalize on real-world deals before they happen.

Some of […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka missed the return of Baker Mayfield in Week 7, but the Buccaneers still got a big win against the Panthers in Carolina.

It has been six months since Michigan cut down the nets, ending one of the biggest chalk-fests in NCAA Tournament history. NIL is making it harder for smaller schools to compete. You could argue that it is having the opposite effect in football. It seems to have leveled the playing field over there until the […]

Those of you who know me also know that I don't really enjoy streaming to maximize games. We all do it because we have to, but it's no fun. What is fun, however, is finding top-50 producers on the wire that can last for multiple weeks, and in the current NBA climate where everyone is […]

Four of my top seven teams lost this week. One of them still hasn't played anyone, and the other two have already played each other. It's Indiana and Ohio State's world. We all just live in it. How mad is the CFP (and Big Ten, for that matter) going to be when it's Wisconsin and […]

We don't have any FCS opponents to pick on again this week. We also have to compensate for the powerful offenses of Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Houston, and West Virginia. They are all on bye this week. We have to pick on the likes of Cal, Stanford, and Rutgers this week, though that fruit isn't as […]
