Jaylen Waddle, Tua Tagovailoa Connecting Often

The Miami Dolphins used the sixth overall pick in this year's draft on standout wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, which reunited him with his former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Perhaps, taking it one step further, they end up looking at some "manufactured" numbers such as yards per carry, yards after contact, etc... But there is something more that […]

Pierre Camus' Bold Predictions - 2021 Fantasy Football

After the chaos of last season, it's hard to categorize any prediction as outrageous or overly bold.

Zero-RB is an Excellent Draft Strategy in 2021
