XFL Week 3: What We Learned

Week 3 of XFL football is behind us, and it was a week with some strange things. The Wildcats being up 27-0 at one point against the Defenders? Tampa having a shot against Houston?

Biggest Surprises of 2019 - Quarterback

The quarterback position in fantasy football is always one that either gets seriously overvalued, or seriously underrated.

Biggest Busts of 2019: Running Back

The 2019-20 season saw some incredible fantasy performances from a few different players.

Managing Running Backs in the Modern NFL

Who among us saw the film Gremlins and didn’t want their own little pet Mogwai like Gizmo? He was cute and curious and had a propensity to sing calming melodies.

When it comes to fantasy sports, we're always looking for the highest possible Return On Investment or ROI.
