Early-Season Dynasty Trade Targets

After one week of NFL action, the fantasy overreaction is already at a critical mass. Seasoned dynasty league managers have learned to take a patient, long-term approach to roster construction.

Adam Humphries Catches Seven Passes

Washington Football Team wide receiver Adam Humphries caught seven passes for 44 yards on eight targets in Thursday night's win against the New York Giants.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray gets a favorable matchup for Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings. Last week, Murray looked like the early favorite to win MVP.
