Can Rueben Randle Keep His Touchdown Streak Going?

Rueben Randle and the New York Giants will look to exploit the San Fransisco 49ers soft secondary in tonight's matchup. Randle has scored a touchdown in his last two games, and the Niners defense is currently in the top ten for giving up fantasy points at the wide receiver position. With Victor Cruz still out with […]

Sell On Calvin Johnson This Week

Calvin Johnson is a once-in-a-generation receiver, and he's aimlessly wasting his career by playing for the Detroit Lions. It's a shame, really. Johnson was once an unguardable receiver who made defensive backs look foolish when he'd put his big body in place to snag would-be interceptions. Unfortunately for Megatron and fantasy owners who thought he'd […]

Dorial Green-Beckham Involvement In Titans Offense To Increase

Rookie wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham will be expected to play “more and more” according to Tennessee Titans general manager Ruston Webster.
