Jakobi Meyers Reunites with Ex-Patriots Coach in Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Raiders added another piece on the offensive side of the ball, signing Jakobi Meyers to a three-year deal worth $33 million. It’s been a quiet 24 hours at wide receiver, with Meyers being the only noteworthy free agency signing. A cool wideout market likely limited what got in this deal, as his […]

Injured Players to Remember in Fantasy Football

The worst part of fantasy football is drafting a team that you feel good about, only to have your season derailed by injury. It is even worse when the players who get hurt are premium picks in your league’s fantasy draft.   It is extremely easy to get caught up in the excitement of the […]
