Why ZeroRB Didn't Work in 2017

For someone drafting 8th in a 10-man league last year, going Zero-RB could have potentially netted them a top-three round haul of Mike Evans, Jordy Nelson, and Demaryius Thomas. On draft day, this is an amazing stack of WR1s. By the end of the year, it's weekly middling to poor performances that the owners' highest draft […]

Cody Latimer Has Big Reception In Victory

New York Giants wide receiver Cody Latimer had just one catch in Friday's preseason game against the New York Jets, but it was good for a 54-yard grab.

Jonathan Stewart Being Pushed Hard For Job
