Welcome back, RotoBallers! Drake London worked out well for us in Thursday Night Football, but Jordan Love and the Packers didn't quite have the day I was expecting. In fact, they were a bit disappointing, and Tucker Kraft has another week where I start to question if drafting him was a mistake. That being said, […]

The Week 3 slate closes out with a Monday Night meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears.
