The NFL regular season is finally in the books. Sunday Night Football between the Chargers and Raiders was an instant classic and provided drama deep into the night. However, we also had plenty of exciting football during the final main slate of the year. The Jaguars engineered one of the biggest upsets of the season, […]

Injuries are one of the worst parts of football, but unfortunately, they are inevitable. The NFL also recently changed the Injured Reserve rules, which can make things a bit complicated. Players can be designated to return from the IR after three weeks, so it gives teams a bit more lineup flexibility on a week-to-week basis. […]

The penultimate week of the regular season was a wild one. The Jets nearly beat the Buccaneers, the Bengals clinched the AFC North with a win over the Chiefs, and the Patriots hung 50 points on the Jaguars. There were also some noteworthy fantasy performances. Let’s dive into some of the biggest winners and losers […]

The NFL regular season is heading down the home stretch, and we had a few teams clinch playoff berths on Sunday. In the NFC, the Cowboys officially clinched the top spot in their division, while the Cardinals and Rams both secured spots in the postseason. Things are a bit more hectic in the AFC, where […]

The first week of the playoffs in most fantasy football leagues also brought us maybe the weirdest weekend of the NFL season. We had three games rescheduled, the worst team in the league (the Lions) upset one of the best (the Cardinals) in a game that wasn’t close, and maybe the best offense in the […]

The NFL regular season is heading down the home stretch, but we got some great finishes on Sunday. The Buccaneers blew a late 17-point lead against the Bills, but they ultimately came back to win in overtime.

NFL Week 13 featured a few key games for playoff purposes and a few interesting storylines. Who wasn’t excited to see Gardner Minshew make another start? The guy just drips swagger, and he delivered an excellent performance against the Jets. As good as Minshew was, he didn’t make my list of the biggest winners and […]

NFL Week 12 was expected to be a good one. Only one game on the Sunday main slate had a spread of greater than 4.5 points, and that was the Patriots -7.5 against the Titans. Not every game ended up living up to the billing, but there was still plenty of competitive football. There was […]

Week 12 comes to a close with a Monday Night Football showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and the Washington Football Team. Both of these teams are in the midst of disappointing seasons. The Seahawks have posted a record of just 3-7, so they might have to run the table to have a chance of making […]

We’re on to Week 12, and we’ve got a smaller DFS main slate than usual. Six teams will be in action on Thanksgiving, while the Cardinals and Chiefs are both on bye. That leaves a lot of high-powered offenses unavailable on the 10-game main slate. Let’s check out some of the players who are jumping […]

It was another wild week for the National Football League. Jonathan Taylor went Super Sayain, leading the Colts to a 26-point victory over the Bills. The Titans snapped their six-game winning streak — which included wins vs. the Bills, Chiefs, Colts and Rams — by losing to the lowly Texans. The Cowboys and the Chiefs […]

Thanksgiving is one of the best days of the year. Not only do we get to stuff our faces while spending time with friends and family, but we get to do it with a full day of football on television. As has become the norm, we have three games on tap for Thanksgiving this season. […]

There are chalk weeks, there are contrarian weeks, and then there are weeks like this one. If you woke up this morning and had the Bills losing to the Jaguars, the Cowboys losing to the Broncos and James Conner finishing with the most fantasy points, congratulations, you’re probably now the richest person in the world.

The Week 6 main slate is officially in the books. It was ultimately a pretty uncompetitive week, with eight of the 10 games being decided by double-digits. That said, the other two games both went to overtime, so there was still some exciting football for fans to enjoy. Even in an uncompetitive week, there were […]

Week 8 comes to a close with a Monday Night Football showdown between the New York Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are coming off one of the most surprising results of the year last week. Not only did they lose to the Titans, they managed just three points on offense. Three! I […]

The Week 5 main slate is officially in the books. The 1 p.m. EST window was wacky, highlighted by the Packers vs. Bengals. Neither team wanted to win, with the two kickers combined for five missed field goals at the end of regular and overtime. Things weren’t quite as wild in the late afternoon games, […]

Week 5 comes to a close with a Monday Night Football showdown between the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens. The Colts managed to get in the win column last week with a victory over the Dolphins, while the Ravens have racked up three wins through their first four games. The Ravens are the clear better […]

Week 4 comes to a close with a Monday Night Football showdown between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers. The Raiders have been one of the biggest surprises of the early season. They’ve jumped out to a 3-0 record, including upset wins over the Ravens and Steelers. They also overcame a 14-point […]
