Even with quarterback Drew Lock (shoulder) out and backup Jeff Driskel […]

Michael Conforto Placed On Injured List

Tim Patrick Can Be Avoided Against Buccaneers

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick will be in three-receiver sets moving forward now that Courtland Sutton (knee) is done for the rest of the 2020 season.

Fantasy Football Buy or Sell - Week 3

The fantasy stonks market is always a fun one to evaluate. Buy/Sell articles like this are essentially glorified "Who's Hot and Who's Not" but the tables are turned to where sometimes, you want to buy those that are cold and sell the hot. Buy-low, sell-high is the motto but also, sometimes it is ok to […]

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt has been effective through his first two games of the 2020 season.
