The Minnesota Vikings (6-5-1) head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks Monday night while still possessing a very legitimate shot at their second-straight NFC North championship.

Of course last week I write, "It has been one top-heavy year." In Week 13, most of the favorites got it handed to them.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Picks (Week 14): NFL DFS Lineups

This is an intriguing slate in Week 14. With the Chiefs, Steelers, Chargers, and Saints all on the slate, there is plenty of firepower. The Rams game being flexed to the Sunday Night Football slot is not a huge loss as they are playing a very good Bears defense. In addition, we have some defenses […]

Evan Engram Not Worth A Fantasy Play In Week 14

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram is on track to return to the field in Week 14 against the Redskins.

Jonathan Stewart Won't Come Off Injured Reserve

New York Giants running back Jonathan Stewart (foot) will remain on Injured Reserve for the rest of the season. J-Stew had six carries for 17 yards (2.8 yards per carry) in his three games this season. He'll turn 32 next March and won't even be an attractive handcuff to Saquon Barkley in his second and […]

Sterling Shepard Not Fantasy Viable Against Redskins

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard is not worth a fantasy play in Week 14 despite a positive matchup against the Redskins. Washington's defense is allowing the fifth most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season but Shepard is averaging only 32.5 receiving yards a game over his last four played. The Redskins have […]

Barkley has posted more than 100 yards from scrimmage […]

Eli Manning Carries Risk Against Redskins

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and the Giants offense is trending in the right direction heading into Week 14 against the Redskins.

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (rib) both practiced in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday.
