Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

I'll start by repeating something profound I said in my podcast yesterday: Deshaun Watson is good. I'd put him at the top of this column once again, but it's too obvious in a matchup with Cleveland and you should be starting him anyway. Now that we got that out of the way, I'll continue by […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts - Week 6
