We Must Overreact Immediately! Week 8 Outliers

For the most part, the players that scored multiple […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 9

We're heading into the ninth week of NFL football now. Time flies and all that, right? Week 8 was one of those weeks where it can be hard to watch football, as the matchups weren't great and the best teams kept winning and anyone who had to play against Tevin Coleman had a really bad […]

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot), who has missed the last three games, is expected to be active in Week 8 against the Browns, according to a source.
