Running Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

We made ourselves a fantasy roster. One that was as perfect as could be. We thought it would be easy, at least that is what some told me. Throughout the season, many things have changed, and our once-perfect roster has now seen plenty of players exchanged.  The 2025 season has been a challenge, with the running […]

Player health must be a priority. The fact that the NFL and fans understand this is a good thing. We have seen the NFL’s violent nature ruin too many lives already. As a result, the league should do everything it can to avoid what happened to players like Junior Seau. With that said, how the […]

Brian Burns Suiting Up Against Falcons

New York Giants edge rusher Brian Burns (ankle, neck) is officially active for Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons. It seemed unlikely that Burns would suit up after missing two practices, but he was able to improve his status by logging a limited practice session on Friday. The star defender entered this weekend listed as […]

Darius Slayton Has Low-End Flex Value

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton was once again quiet during last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
