Cooks, who turns 30 in September, has six 1,000-yard receiving seasons in his nine […]

Fantasy Baseball 2023: Who is This Year’s Yelich?
Profit is the name of the game in fantasy baseball. Whether snake draft or auction, the way to set oneself up for success and win leagues is to correctly identify and draft market inefficiencies.

The Patriots wasted little time in replacing the departed Jakobi Meyers, agreeing to terms with former Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster Wednesday on a deal equivalent to the one Meyers signed in Las Vegas.
