Who to Buy in the 49ers Offense
The 2018 San Francisco 49ers may have been one of the bigger disappointments to fantasy owners. Much was to be expected from Jimmy Garoppolo and this offense led by Kyle Shanahan.

Will Arizona's New Offense Rise Like a Phoenix?
I think that there are times when we fantasy football writers need to own up to our past mistakes.
