2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Tight End Will Tye
Once starting tight end Larry Donnell went down for the Giants during week eight of the 2015 football season, Will Tye was called upon to step in, and the Giants didn’t miss a beat. From week nine on Tye finished with 34 receptions, 387 yards, and 3 TDs. Coming into this season Tye enters a […]
Drafting Running Quarterbacks in Fantasy Football: Cam Newton, Russell Wilson and Tyrod Taylor
The allure of the running quarterback has existed for years. Randall Cunningham was one of the first true dual-threats at the position in the 1980's and '90s, an era that also produced all-time great scramblers like Steve Young and John Elway. It was the arrival of Michael Vick in the NFL as the No. 1 pick […]

Packers To Sign Jared Cook
The Green Bay Packers have been in dire need for a tight end ever since Jermichael Finley. Richard Rodgers filled in will for the Pack in 2015, most notably on that miraculous TD catch to end the game against Detroit. However, they still needed a tight end who could create more matchup problems. Jared Cook […]
Off to Canton Goes Charles Woodson
Defensive back Charles Woodson had previously announced that 2015-16 would be his last season playing pro football. Woodson, now 39, has had quite the amazing career.

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games.

Which Packers Can Be Trusted In The Fantasy Football Championships
The Green Bay Packers were supposed to be one of the few trustworthy fantasy offenses this season but inconsistencies have plagued fantasy owners with frustration and doubt.

Richard Rodgers Answering Prayers at TE?
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues OWNED IN: 47% Owned on Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Does the hail mary force Rodgers (the QB) to feed Rodgers (the TE)? We really don't know.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: He'll be reliant on getting into the end zone for his production to be worth it, but the Packers clearly don't have much of a reliable run game to fall back on right now.
