As I write this, the thermostat outside reads -21°F. I don't mention this to brag about what an ironman I am, surviving the elements in a heated home situated at the center of a very cold suburban town… though I am. I say this to explain just how anus-chilling the weather is in the northwest […]

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 16: Alexander Mattison, James Cook, Joshua Kelley, Romeo Doubs, Richie James

The waiver wire in deep leagues is a wasteland full of low-upside quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends.

Cook’s season has not […]

Vikings Sign Josh Rosen To The Practice Squad

The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent quarterback Josh Rosen to their practice squad on Tuesday.
