Is Zero RB a Viable Strategy in 2022?

Maybe the most controversial draft strategy in a redraft league is the idea that you want to wait until the 5th or 6th Round before you draft a running back. This concept gained traction after Shawn Siegele perfected it in 2013 by continuing to hammer the value at wide receiver and grabbing running backs with […]

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (leg) appeared to have injured his left leg at the team's final mandatory minicamp practice on Thursday.

Closers and Saves Waiver Wire Report for Fantasy Baseball - Week 11

It was a very interesting week in bullpens across the league as one closer had a baby, another landed on the injured list, and another got demoted after narrowly avoiding the injured list.

Matt Corral Showing Early Struggles

Carolina Panthers quarterback Matt Corral has been struggling in the early part of minicamp. The biggest concern is that Corral is having issues before the snap.
