English Premier League Week in Review: Matchday 1

Manchester United 1 – 0 Tottenham Hotspur Game of the Week For a considerably exciting matchup to kickoff the Premier League season, it was the opening game that arguably was the most boring of the weekend’s bunch.

Jonathan Stewart: 2015 Fantasy Football Draft Value

Jonathan Stewart is the ultimate candidate for “what might have been” discussions. Since entering the league in 2008, Stewart has not started more than eight games in a season, thanks in large part to the presence of DeAngelo Williams. The two have cannibalized each other’s value for years, but with Williams now backing up Le’Veon […]

Ranking the Top 5 Second Year Quarterbacks

Last year's class of rookie quarterbacks was nothing to write home about. Although there were some well-hyped gunslingers coming out of college in 2014, none compared to the immediate success of the 2012 class. There's still plenty of talent among the sophomores heading into 2015. Four out of five of these guys find themselves on cellar-dwelling […]

When Cam Newton Gets Pissed, We All Win

Let’s face it: most of us claim that we’d rather drink bleach through a straw, made entirely out of thorns, than watch preseason football (that means absolutely nothing) or pay attention to training camps.

Five Wide Receivers Primed for More Touchdowns in 2015

Touchdowns can be a fickle thing. In 2010 Dwayne Bowe led all receivers with a whopping fifteen touchdowns. In four mostly full seasons since, he has had a combined thirteen scores.

Why Waiting On Running Backs Works: 12-Team Mock Draft Results

I did a recent 12-team standard mock draft on ESPN, and decided that I would avoid running backs in the first couple rounds to see what sort of team I could craft without a top-of-the-line stud. I had the 10th pick, and while I won't outline the entire draft results, I'll mention who I picked […]
