AAF Week 4 Fantasy Football Recap (Saturday)

Week 4 shook up the standings in the AAF.

AAF Week 3 Fantasy Football Recap (Saturday Games)

I think we discovered a few new things during Week 3 of the AAF season, but many of the same elements that we have become accustomed to seeing held steady.

AAF Week 2 Recap - Fantasy Risers, Fallers (Sunday Games)

The initial buzz of Week 1 excitement is gone, but Week 2 of the AAF season produced noticeably better football.

AAF Week 1 Recap - Fantasy Risers, Fallers (Saturday Games)

The opening weekend of the inaugural AAF season is officially in the books, and while I don't think the four games blew the roof off, the league displayed itself as a viable option for fans during the NFL offseason.

Tight End A Priority For Lions

The Detroit Lions are determined to make the tight end position a priority in 2019 after whiffing on their free-agent targets last year and seeing Eric Ebron finish second in the NFL in touchdowns (13) with the Colts after they released him.
