Mid-Season Awards: MVP's and LVP's

When it comes to awards, everything is subjective. Some people just go with the best player at each position. That is fine in real football but not in fantasy football. Christian McCaffrey has had the best season as a running back, but as the first or second pick in drafts, he needed to do so […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 8 (10/27/19)

Somehow four touchdowns by Marvin Jones wasn't enough for the Lions to take a win against the Vikings, but nonetheless, it was a very profitable week. On a separate note, man, are the New England Patriots an absolute wagon, and something tells me you won't have to go long before seeing me target them in […]

Patrick Mahomes Works With Second Team Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) worked with the second-team offense on Thursday and looked to be moving around better. Mahomes has been pretty limited the last two days of practice. While he's making great progress from a dislocated kneecap a week ago, the odds are still slim that he plays on Sunday night […]

Patrick Mahomes Practicing Again Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) is practicing again on Thursday, but he's not expected to do a whole lot for the second straight day. Mahomes is recovering from his dislocated kneecap at a good rate, but he's still unlikely to play in Week 8 on Sunday night against the Packers. But the athletic […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 8

The madden curse strikes again.

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher (hernia) and defensive tackle Chris Jones (groin) both were limited in practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Kenny Stills, Brandin Cooks, David Montgomery

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Warning Signs: Zach Ertz, David Johnson, Mitch Trubisky

Week 7 brought some new warnings our way. The Bears stink, or maybe just Mitch Trubisky. Todd Gurley still can’t get it going despite a dominant team performance. Finally, as has become a regular routine at this point, Will Fuller has another hamstring injury. So, what do we really need to pay attention to going […]

Sammy Watkins On Track To Return

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) got in a full practice on Wednesday. Watkins hasn't played since Sept. 29 against the Lions, but it's looking like he has a good chance to return this weekend in a Sunday night showdown with the Packers. However, the 26-year-old's fantasy ceiling will be lower than usual […]

Patrick Mahomes Not Being Ruled Out For Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will practice on Wednesday, but backup Matt Moore will take the "majority" of the team repetitions.

We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 7 Outliers

Week 7 seemed extremely fluky for fantasy football purposes.

The Rams wide receivers were supposed to light the world on fire against a Falcons secondary that […]
