Fantasy Football Eulogy - Jay Cutler

The 2017 NFL season is over and the 2018 NFL Draft isn't here yet, which means everyone across the fantasy football realm--the redrafters and the dynasty-ers--has a little time to relax and look back, to reminisce about your successes and failures over the past year. It's also a chance to look back at the careers […]

Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Tight Ends

The tight end position is one in fantasy football that can really go one of two ways. You either pay up to get Rob Gronkowski, or you wait it out and roll a guy like Cameron Brate or Jack Doyle out there every week. In recent years, there have been two young stud TEs emerge, […]

Early 2018 Sleepers: TE

The early outlook for 2018 for fantasy football’s top tight ends is as bright as a summer’s day at the Jersey Shore. 2017 was a decent season for the tight end position in fantasy football. New England’s Rob Gronkowski only missed two games due to injury, Kansas City’s Travis Kelce had his second straight 1,000-yard […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Wide Receivers

So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at both the quarterback and running back positions. This time we're looking at wide receivers who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Wide receiver scoring was down as a whole this season, which meant more fallers than usual. At the same time, some veteran […]

NFL Rookies To Watch - 2017 Year In Review

With another fantasy football season in the books, it can be said that the rookie class showed up in a big way for fantasy owners.

Biggest Tight End Busts - 2017 Year in Review

At the end of every year of fantasy football, you're left with some immediate observations about what you'll do differently in 2018. You'll spend time thinking about which RB is potentially going to be your money-in-the-bank guy in 2018, or which third-round wide receiver will make up for the 2017 mistake of drafting Terrelle Pryor in that spot. […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Quarterbacks

The quarterback position saw plenty of volatility in 2017, as 58 different quarterbacks started at least one game. And that's just for the Cleveland Browns... We saw a rookie sensation, some second-year ascents, and the possible beginning of the end for some established veterans. Then there was Old Faithful Tom Brady defying the odds yet again. […]

#TrendingNow Dynasty Risers and Fallers - 2017 Season Review

I hope you have taken a week or two to relax and admire the work of your 2017 season. You only have a short window though, because as a dynasty fantasy owner, there is no offseason. It’s time to start planning what move will come next, whether it be a draft, free agency or trade. […]

Conference Championship Game Picks - NFL Playoff Predictions

Championship Sunday has arrived and boy did it take some dumb stupid coaching decisions to get here. I've been saying all year the Falcons inability to score in the red zone will cost them eventually. Last week I said, "if the Falcons don't begin scoring touchdowns [in the red zone], it will come back to haunt […]

Biggest Running Back Busts - 2017 Year in Review

I'm a firm believer that I know very little, and that taking my advice is generally the equivalent of asking someone on the street. I'm not referring to fantasy sports so much as everything else: how to cook a fish, how many quarts are in a cup, how to put together a desk, etc. When it […]

Giants Expected To Target Pat Shurmur As Head Coach

According to Ian Rapoport on Twitter, the New York Giants are expected to target Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur as their next head coach.

Giants To Interview Steve Wilks And Eric Studesville

After conducting a few interviews this past week for their open head coaching position, the New York Giants will interview Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks and Broncos assistant head coach Erik Studesville early next week, according to Ralph Vacchiano on Twitter.

Jim Schwartz On Back Burner As Giants Head Coaching Candidate

According to Jordan Raanan on Twitter, Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will not have an interview for the New York Giants head coaching vacancy on Sunday. Schwartz seemed to be an early favorite for the position earlier in the week, but that has obviously cooled. The Giants conducted a multitude of interviews throughout the week […]

Matt Patricia Interviews For Giants Head Coaching Position

The New York Giants interviewed Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia for their head coaching vacancy Friday. Up next is Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Patricia is a rising head coaching candidate that interviewed for several jobs last offseason as well. He's more of a realistic option to take this job than McDaniels.

2017 Final Consistency Report - Tight Ends

I am a mixed bag of emotions because of the end of the 2017 season. I am excited for the NFL playoffs and a chance for the my hometown team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, to win their third Super Bowl in my lifetime. I am sad because the regular season is at an end and with […]

Giants To Interview Jim Schwartz This Weekend

The New York Giants will interview Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz for their head coaching job this weekend, according to sources.

Giants Request To Interview Pat Shurmur

The New York Giants have requested to interview Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur for their head coaching vacancy, according to a source. The Giants are unlikely to retain interim head coach Steve Spagnuolo, and Shurmur would be a good candidate to help quarterback Eli Manning to rebound if he sticks around. Shurmur has gained a […]
