Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks

Just like there is no such thing as an announcer jinx, the same goes for writers or analysts. To call Jay Ajayi a fantasy bust and "Zero" last week, only to see him suffer another devastating injury by tearing his ACL, isn't my fault. It doesn't feel good to see it either, especially since I […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview

It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion.

Cooper Kupp, Brandin Cooks Clear Concussion Protocol

Los Angeles Rams wide receivers Cooper Kupp (concussion) and Brandin Cooks (concussion) officially cleared the concussion protocol, and they will be active on Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

Rams Run Defense Has Been Terrible

Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh said the team's run defense the last two weeks has been "terrible, without question."

Robert Woods Should Continue to Succeed

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods could be a phenomenal WR1 option if Brandin Cooks (concussion) and Cooper Kupp (concussion) don't play in Week 6.

Cooper Kupp Might Struggle Against Denver

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (concussion) is questionable for Week 6 after suffering a concussion last week.

The Broncos defense has not allowed much production from the slot […]

Todd Gurley is Elite RB1 in Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has scored nine touchdowns for the Rams this season and is showing no signs of slowing down.
