Matt Bryant Misses Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday. Bryant is apparently improving, but he won't test his hamstring until Thursday and he could miss his second straight game. Giorgio Tavecchio filled in admirably before the Week 8 bye. The Redskins have an underrated defense and hold opposing kickers to the fewest average fantasy […]

You'll be reminded time and time again that the season is technically halfway over, including the postseason, which can either be a reassuring thought as you attempt to go […]

Using the #AllBenchRB Strategy

I apologize to my millions of fans for my absence these past few weeks. I was busy completing an Ironman whilst studying for the Mensa exam. During my training and study breaks, I pondered a topic I wrote about last year that I coined #AllBenchRB. I submitted my analysis to the Mensa Board, who instantly […]

Week 9 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 8 featured several high-scoring matchups, but there were far more touchdowns scored than field goals.

The Curious Case of Corey Davis

Mohamed Sanu, Taylor Gabriel, Cole Beasley, Dede Westbrook...I could go on and on in listing all the random players who are having a better year than Corey Davis. It won't make you feel any better about drafting him, though. He's been about as disappointing as it gets as far as high profile wide receivers go. […]

Week 8 Kicker Streamers and Starts - 2018 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Falcons Defense Returns Poor Points Total Again Monday

The Atlanta Falcons defense was not able to make the most of the pressure they got on Eli Manning in the game Monday. The Falcons seemed to have Manning in their sights a lot but only ended up with four sacks and did not manage to force a turnover of any kind. This was the […]

Giorgio Tavecchio Has Solid First Outing As A Falcon

Atlanta Falcons kicker Giorgio Tavecchio had a decent first outing in an Atlanta Falcons uniform.
