One month of the college basketball season is all that's left before March Madness 2024 arrives. I wish the offseason went by as fast as the season did because that is almost unbelieveable. Maybe it's because most of the season runs in tandem with the NFL, but regardless, I'm going to need the season to […]

It wasn't the craziest week of college basketball, but we got several electric finishes over the past seven days that led to some shakeup. UConn was able to hold onto their new #1 ranking with a huge win over #18 Creighton and a narrow one-point victory to Villanova on the road. Purdue stayed put at […]

We've finally reached the point where the remaining games for the 2023 season have reached single digits. While that is a sad realization, there are still seven games of high-level, do-or-die football yet to be played. This is where the playoffs start to really heat up. Wild Card games are fun, but they are usually […]

What a week of college hoops. All of the top four teams lost last Tuesday, giving UConn its first #1 ranking since 2009 and a very blue-blood-heavy top-10. Take a look. Kansas, UNC, Duke, and Kentucky have a spot of their own. All we're missing is UCLA and Villanova, but unfortunately for those programs, they […]

The Week 18 SNF game between Buffalo and Miami game capped off the 2023 NFL regular season, which meant an official end to fantasy football.

January, at least for me, always marks the dead of winter. Snow is finally beginning to fall in all the usual places across America. The days continue to become ever so slightly longer, which means college basketball junkies like myself can get more of a fix on a weekly basis. This past week was fairly […]
Ryan J. Goodman 10 months agoEvan Engram An Easy TE1 Play At Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram heads to Nashville to face the Titans in a "win and in" playoff scenario this Sunday.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee/hamstring) faces the Tennessee Titans and their leaky secondary in Week 18. The veteran wideout hasn't played the last two weeks as he continues to nurse multiple injuries, but he was able to log limited practices this week. The Titans are a great matchup for opposing wide receivers, but […]

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley faces the Tennessee Titans in a pivotal Week 18 matchup in Nashville. With backup C.J. Beathard drawing the start in a tough matchup, Ridley posted a disappointing but not unexpected 4-39-0 line. This gave him another sub-50 performance, his fifth of the year. Ridley's outlook this week heavily depends […]
Ryan J. Goodman 11 months agoTravis Etienne Jr. Should Feast On Lowly Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. heads into a crucial Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Without his QB1 last week, Etienne was fed early and often against one of the NFL's worst run defenses. The former first-round pick was actually having a modest game until he broke free down the right sideline […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense faces one of the worst offenses in the NFL Week 17 when the Carolina Panthers come to EverBank Stadium. This unit has been very disappointing since their Week 9 bye, ranking 27th in total fantasy points from Weeks 10-16. This Sunday should serve as a "get right" game for the Jags, […]

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram heads into a pivotal Week 17 home matchup against Carolina tomorrow. It's been a tale of streaks for the veteran tight end this season. Engram hit four consecutive top-10 weekly finishes to start the year, then failed to reach that mark for the next seven in half-PPR scoring. He's […]
Ryan J. Goodman 11 months agoCalvin Ridley A Low-End WR2 Against Panthers
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley heads into a tough Week 17 matchup against the Carolina Panthers this Sunday. The 28-year-old continued his boom-bust trend last week, following up two duds with a monster 90-yard, two touchdown performance that all came in one half. This coming week brings a different challenge, as Ridley will now […]
Ryan J. Goodman 11 months agoTravis Etienne Jr. Set For Big Day Vs. Panthers
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. gets a soft Carolina run defense for the fantasy championship in Week 17. It's been tough sledding the former first-round pick of late, with zero top-10 performances in the past seven games after hitting that mark from weeks 5-8. Etienne let managers down in a big way with […]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback C.J. Beathard faces the Carolina Panthers in a Week 17 matchup. QB1 Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) has been dealing with a new injury every week it seems, and was ruled out on Friday giving Beathard the start.

Ryan J. Goodman 11 months agoCalvin Ridley Scores Twice Against Tampa Bay
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in six receptions for 90 yards and two touchdowns against Tampa on Sunday evening. The high target volume finally turned into fantasy production for the 28-year-old wideout, with Ridley putting up his fifth top-10 weekly finish on the season. He was actually held to zero catches and one […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. rushed six times for only 12 yards, adding 3 receptions for 19 yards in the loss to Tampa Bay.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 17-of-29 passes for 211 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions vs. Tampa Bay on Sunday. Lawrence added four rushes for 29 yards on the ground but also fumbled twice, losing one in the defeat. It was another letdown performance from the young quarterback, whose day was also cut short […]

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a vital Week 16 clash.

Ryan J. Goodman 11 months agoZay Jones Questionable At Bucs
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee/hamstring) is questionable to suit up at Tampa Bay this Sunday. The veteran WR finally got a limited session in on Friday after logging DNPs all week, so there is hope that he will be able to start against Tampa. If he is able to play, Jones is a […]

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley faces the vulnerable Tampa Bay secondary in Week 16. With his fellow receivers banged up, Ridley finds himself as one of the only health pass-catchers on this roster.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16. When Christian Kirk left the Week 13 game against Cincy, the rookie Washington was forced to occupy the slot receiver role and he has done an admirable job, with 100 yards and two touchdowns over two games. Washington also ranks top-20 […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. faces the stout Tampa Bay Buccaneers run defense on Sunday in a pivotal cross-conference showdown. While Etienne currently ranks as the RB3 on the year, his efficiency has been very poor with a YPC of 3.7, tied for 39th. Touchdowns have been aplenty for Etienne this season, ranking […]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence cleared the NFL's concussion protocol on Friday and will travel with the team to Tampa Bay.
