Colts To Add Competition For Anthony Richardson

Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard said the team will add competition to the quarterback room in 2025, in part because Anthony Richardson (back) hasn't been able to stay healthy for a full season yet early on in his career.

Justin Tucker A Mid-Level Option In Wild-Card Round

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has had his well-documented issues this season but has been a bit more reliable since their bye week in Week 14.

Cameron Dicker A Great Wild-Card Weekend Option

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is an excellent fantasy option on Wild Card Weekend against the Houston Texans.

In what should be a […]

Will Dissly Has A High Floor On Wild-Card Weekend

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly has a high floor and some projectable ceiling when the Chargers take on the Houston Texans on Saturday of Wild Card Weekend.

Another Difficult Matchup For Joe Mixon Vs. Chargers
