Jacob Harris Is Blanked Against Denver Broncos

Los Angeles Rams tight end Jacob Harris has been an exciting story in camp, but he ended his preseason on a bit of a downswing as he failed to haul in any of his three targets against the Denver Broncos. At 6'5" and 219 pounds, Harris has a great combination of size and athleticism, but […]

Gerald Everett - 2021 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Sony Michel to Rams - Fantasy Impact

The Los Angeles Rams struck a deal to acquire Patriots RB Sony Michel this past week, a move that made sense for both sides. On the Rams’ side, they lost starting RB Cam Akers to an Achilles injury, which will cause him to miss 2021. For the Pats, they have a stable of backs who […]

ADP Showdown - Kyle Pitts vs Noah Fant

Shh. Listen. The wind laps against the rusted-out husk of a windmill. In the distance, you think you hear footsteps, but it can't be. You're alone here. There is no one left.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a second-year running back coming off a somewhat disappointing rookie campaign based on his 2020-ADP while Najee Harris has all the pedigree in the world to enter the NFL as a world-beater in 2021.
