Are you going insane trying to figure out what Tennessee Titans running back should be inserted into your fantasy football lineups? Well, let me make it easy on you: NONE!

With Dion Lewis having a spectacular start to the season, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots have decided they could afford to cut ties with Travaris Cadet.

It's a good thing Aaron Rodgers has never really liked throwing to tight ends because he'll be without Andrew Quarless for the next 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL. Quarless isn't expected to be a huge loss from a fantasy perspective since he was mostly used as a blocking tight end. In fact, he has […]

Although Brian Hoyer began the season as the Houston Texans' starting quarterback, the only way he'll see the football field again this season is if Ryan Mallett suffers an injury.

Brian Ethridge 9 years agoBoobie Dixon a Worthy Week 4 Flex Play?
With LeSean McCoy unlikely to play for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday against the New York Giants, Anthony "Boobie" Dixon may be worth adding on the waiver wire and starting as a week 4 flex play. Of course it goes without saying that Karlos Williams will see the bulk of the carries for the Bills, […]

The New York Giants must not feel 100 percent comfortable with the fact that Victor Cruz is expected back for week 4.

According to Fox Sports' Alex Marvez, Philadelphia Eagles kicker Cody Parkey re-aggravated a groin injury against the New York Jets on Sunday.

It's hard to feel sorry for an overrated and overpaid quarterback who already has a Super Bowl ring. But with that said, the Ravens have put quarterback Joe Flacco in a tough spot this season.
