Will Bill O'Brien's Firing Change Anything In Houston?

On Monday, the thing Houston Texans fans had wanted for years finally came true, as the team fired head coach/general manager Bill O'Brien.

The Cut List (Week 5) - Time to Let Go?

We have reached the point in the season where you will inevitably encounter players once featured in the “hold” category, be demoted to the “drop” portion of the entry.

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 5

The 2020 NFL season has not been easy on fantasy football general managers. If fantasy footballers did not already have enough to contend with between injuries (O.J.

Another week, and another six out of the top 10 defenses correct. Some of the top ones were gimmes, and I'm a little surprised by how the Chargers Defense laid an egg versus Carolina and the way the Bills Defense just seemed totally lost against the Rams in the second half. I'm happy I trusted […]
