He currently ranks first in touchdowns, first in pass rating, and second in completion percentage with zero interceptions on the year. On […]

Brandin Cooks Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion) was limited in practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion last Thursday.

Todd Gurley Day-To-Day With Quad Bruise

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (quadriceps) is day-to-day with a left quadriceps contusion. Gurley did not practice on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like a very serious injury, but it's worth watching for a player that has had his workload scaled back due to knee issues this year. […]

Warning Signs: Stefon Diggs, Le'Veon Bell, Baker Mayfield

Another week, another surprising loss. At least this one did not take place on American soil. The Raiders took down the Bears in London, proving no one really knows what is going to happen any given week in the NFL. It also looks like there really is no dominant team in the NFC. This works for […]

Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

If you thought the waiver wire was getting barer every passing week, you would be correct. These days, a half-decent running back can't gain more than two yards without getting snatched up by desperate fantasy owners. The wide receiver position is more promising, however. While there aren't many surprises at QB or TE, the first […]

If that applies to […]

If you have Oakland’s Darren Waller as the top tight end on your fantasy football team, then you are going to need a replacement this week. This is the first four-team bye week of the season, so not only will fantasy owners be without Waller, they will also have to go in other directions if […]
