Unorthodox Draft Strategies

One of the biggest factors left out of the draft-day discussion is the makeup of your league. Analysts often mention the importance of understanding league scoring, but then fail to mention how important it is to understand your competition. There are many reasons why your competition is important. Does your league love RBs? Do they […]

Packers Defense Needs To Improve Tackling

Green Bay Packers defense needs to improve its tackling coming out of the preseason encounters so far. The Packers addressed their need for pass rushers in free agency, but the team still has issues with its defense. One issue the team has is that a number of players need to return to health. The Packers […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Limited In Preseason

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been finding it tough to make an impact in the preseason.

Jace Sternberger Still Not Able To Get On The Field

Green Bay Packers tight end Jace Sternberger has still yet to see any significant time on the field for the team.

Jake Kumerow Impressing In Preseason

Preparing for the Worst: Melvin Gordon/Ezekiel Elliott Holdouts

Holdouts are not new to the NFL. We're fresh off one of the most talked-about ones in last season's Le'Veon Bell skipping the year while with the Steelers.

Target Regression Candidates - Tight End

Fantasy Football Rule No. 271: A pass-catcher cannot catch passes unless he is targeted. The “target” was not a stat I remember fantasy football players worrying about in the 1990s or early 2000s, though. It was not a stat on a tight end’s line when you checked his numbers in the box score or on […]

Jamaal Williams Still Missing Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams is still missing practice with the injury he suffered earlier in the offseason.

Green Bay Packers Defense Looking Good In Practice

Green Bay Packers defense looks as though it has taken the step forward that it required this offseason.
