Chad Kelly's Stock On The Rise

The Chad Kelly bandwagon is rolling along full steam, but as long as Denver Broncos quarterback Case Keenum is healthy, Kelly warrants no consideration in season-long fantasy formats.

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr looks to be in real command of new head coach John Gruden's offense in training camp. He has been vocal before the snap and at the line of scrimmage and is directing traffic to a degree that he hasn't before. It all sounds great, but we want to see this […]

Tom Brady Expects To Play Thursday
