Trusting Rookie Wide Receivers in Redraft Leagues

If I had to list one mistake most commonly made by fantasy owners on draft day, it would be recency bias. We've seen it time and time again - owners overreacting to what happened the previous year even when it was so clearly an outlier. The QB boom of 2011. The rookie WR boom of 2014. […]

Sam Bradford Has Degenerative Condition

Dalvin Cook Could Be Ready For OTAs

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said running back Dalvin Cook (knee) is going to be "pretty close" to being ready for organized team activities.
