This is the perfect time of year to sell high on many players in your dynasty football leagues.

Sometimes this can be a […]

Dynasty Takeaways from the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine

The skill position players have wrapped up their workouts at the NFL Combine and now it's time for us in the fantasy football world to overthink what that actually means.

Gus Edwards - Rookie Recap / Dynasty Outlook

Before the start of the 2018 Baltimore Ravens season the hot name in the backfield was Alex Collins. Halfway through the season, the hot name was Kenneth Dixon. By the end of the season, it was Gus Edwards. Gus the Bus, as he is known, the 6’1 238-pound rookie made his mark in the latter […]

Ravens Waive Alex Collins

The Baltimore Ravens have waived running back Alex Collins. Collins was arrested on Friday morning after being involved in a car accident, which appeared to be the last straw for Baltimore.
