At that point, all our best research and prognosticating looks downright idiotic. Hopefully […]

Picking Up The Pieces After Deshaun Watson's Injury

Yesterday's season-ending injury left a lot of us in a severe state of fantasy football related depression, to the extent that that's a legitimate phenomenon (it is).
