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 […]

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.

Running Backs Waiver Wire - Week 6 Pickups and Adds

Thankfully, the injury bug didn't bite running backs as hard this week.

Fantasy Pop Quiz - NFL Questions for Week 5

When I'm not phoning in my once-a-week column, I'm in digital marketing. For the most part it means I'm behind a computer working on one of dozens of things, or on a phone. But this week, I got away from the computer, and after a few years of work at a sports-related startup, I was back […]
