Packers TE Andrew Quarless Out With Sprained MCL
It's a good thing Aaron Rodgers has never really liked throwing to tight ends because he'll be without Andrew Quarless for the next 4-6 weeks with a sprained MCL. Quarless isn't expected to be a huge loss from a fantasy perspective since he was mostly used as a blocking tight end. In fact, he has […]

BALLER MOVE: Target in Rounds 4-5 as Low-End WR2 ANALYSIS: A second round pick in 2014 by the Packers, Davante Adams thrived in his role as the third wide receiver on Green Bay's depth chart as a rookie.
