Marquise Brown Having Great Offseason
Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman said he thinks wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) has "had a great offseason physically."

Drafting League-Winners In Rounds 1-8
The term "league winner" is one that is too often thrown around in fantasy football. Often it is used without even being defined. To me, a league winner can be one of two things: a player that is highly drafted but is still so much better than the rest of the field. Think of Christian […]

Lamar Jackson Working On Improving As A Passer
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is coming off a successful campaign in 2019, which included being named the league's MVP.

Is Hopkins' Fantasy Potential Nuk'd in Arizona?
Wide receivers changing teams is often a red flag for fantasy owners.

Sophomore RBs Set to Bust Again in 2020
One of the more difficult things to do in fantasy football is to predict player fluctuation every year.

Atlanta Falcons 2020 Fantasy Outlook
The Atlanta Falcons have been struggling to advance in the playoffs since the 2016 season when they made the Super Bowl and the “comeback” happened (sorry Falcon fans). 2019 was the second consecutive year the team missed the playoffs, and coach Dan Quinn is certainly on the hot seat once again this season.
