2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Quarterback Tony Romo

Stumping for Tony Romo anywhere outside of Dallas can be a daunting task. Trust me, I'm not a Cowboys fan either.

As the #7 overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, Kevin White was supposed to be the Bears' replacement for perennial Pro-Bowler Wide Receiver Brandon Marshall.

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis

Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games.

Week 16 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Teddy Bridgewater, Kirk Cousins & Johnny Manziel

Last week this column feature two obvious QB streams that turned out to be...not so obvious. Ryan Fitzpatrick was right at my stream threshold of 15 points. Underwhelming but acceptable.

Will Tye is Your Guy

BALLER MOVE: Add as TE Streamer OWNED IN: 8% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: It is time to jump on the fantasy bandwagon of the man with the short but sweet name.  If you thought he was a fluke then you must have thought Devonta Freeman, Allen Robinson and Jordan Reed were flashes in the pan, […]

Will Tye for Those in Do or Die Mode

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 2% Owned in Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Larry Donnell’s neck injury has made the fantasy value of Tye very healthy.  While Donnell sits on the sidelines, Tye has made the most of his opportunity as New York’s starting tight end during the last month.
