Biggest Surprises of 2018 - Tight Ends

The 2018 NFL Season was a very interesting year for tight ends in fantasy football, to say the least.

Biggest Busts of 2018 - Quarterback

When it comes to bust candidates there are many ways to look at it. The easiest way is to look at their projected finishing spot compared to where they actually finished.

[…]

Sammy Watkins Explodes Against Patriots

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins was a big reason why the Chiefs were able to stick with the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship Game.
