I don't understand how people think the #Jaguars are good. If the #Steelers lose this week I'll be damned. Rest of my picks below https://t.co/ELrXkWCd8e — Seth I. Finkelstein (@Seth_Fink) October 4, 2017 I am damned. I had two entries in my survivor pool. Three weeks ago, I chose the Ravens over the Jags and […]

Fake News or Real Deal? Week 6 Waiver Outlooks
We've had a lot of developments heading into Week 6 (wow, already?) that will have an impact on things moving forward.

AP in AZ - Adrian Peterson Traded to Cardinals
It is exceedingly rare that the NFL sees relevant in-season trades, especially from a fantasy standpoint. The last time we saw something like this was when everyone thought the Browns were insane for trading Trent Richardson to the Colts. Turns out that was grand theft of a draft pick by the Browns. On Tuesday, October […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers For Week 6
Kudos to anyone who still has anything that even remotely resembles a healthy, usable lineup through five weeks.

Fantasy Pop Quiz - NFL Questions for Week 5
