Week 11 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus
In a week where so many picks went so wrong, it's good to know that many others were just as wrong. Sleepers Eli Manning, Bilal Powell, and Corey Davis were all big whiffs, while purported busts C.J.

Fantasy Pop Quiz - Lineup Questions for Week 11
It's nice to remind myself when I'm wrong (there's a good "haha he's married now" joke in there, but that's low hanging fruit that's even too low for me) especially as I weep over the less-than-smoldering ashes of my fantasy teams. In the pre-season, I went back through years of fantasy scoring, estimating how different […]
#TrendingNow - Dynasty Risers and Fallers Week 11
