Resetting the Rules - How Fantasy Leagues Can Cope with COVID

Out, out, out, in, in, in, in, in, in, out, in, out, in, in, out, in, out, out, out, in, in. That’s not me working as a bouncer for the pretend nightclub I started in my house (it’s me and my wife and my two dogs, no Darren Waller fundraiser situation here,) it’s me seeing […]

Russell Wilson Is A Great Start In Week 5

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been arguably the NFL's best player through the first four weeks. He's currently the QB2 in fantasy because of the absurd stats Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has been putting up.

Jared Goff Is A Good Option In Week 5

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff isn't a perfect option in Week 5 against the Washington Football Team, but he does give you a good option thanks to his weapons.

Josh Allen Has Intriguing Matchup Versus Titans

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has put himself in the MVP conversation with his play early in the season.

Lamar Jackson Not Happy With Passing Offense

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has voiced his frustration with the team's passing offense despite a 3-1 start to the season.

Carson Wentz Not A Strong Option In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was just a tiny bit better in Week 4 but still hasn't shown enough to be a viable starting option in standard leagues for Week 5 lineups.
