The NFL’s trade deadline used to be an afterthought, where few deals ever happened and none of significance could cross the threshold. More noteworthy were the deals that didn’t happen, such as the botched last-minute trade between the Bengals and Browns for A.J. McCarron. However, the days of insignificant trade deadlines appear to be done, […]

Sometimes IDP managers must read between the lines more than the average fantasy fan.
