Is Jeff Wilson Jr. Fantasy Relevant After the Christian McCaffrey Trade? Should I Hold Jeff Wilson or Start Him?

The 49ers' trade for Christian McCaffery returns Jeff Wilson Jr. to the role he had at the beginning of the season: a backup RB with almost no fantasy value. Wilson has done a fine job of filling in for Elijah Mitchell after the Niners RB1 got injured shortly into the first game of the season., […]

Patriots Defense A Top-Five Option Against The Bears

The New England Patriots defense/special teams have allowed just 15 total points over the last two weeks.
