Week 15 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

I will be the absolute first in the world to say this, but COVID-19 isn’t great. In fact, at the risk of being controversial, I’ll say COVID is bad! I know that’s a hot take, but I’m sticking with it. If COVID were a food, it’d be the equivalent of taking a wonderful Taco Bell […]

Leonard Fournette Misses Wednesday's Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) did not suit up during Wednesday's practice. He seemed fine during their Week 14 contest, so possibly this was just a maintenance day.
