Heroes and Zeroes - Week 15 Fantasy Football Picks

Let's start by addressing the fluffy, pink elephant wearing a tutu and dancing on your forehead in the room, which is the fact that you're here looking for QB advice because you've ridden Carson Wentz to the playoffs and now he's gone.

Futures Market - Dynasty League Wide Receivers

Last week, we looked at running backs in dynasty leagues. This time around, we try and decipher the wide receiver position.
