Titans Looking For More From Taywan Taylor In 2019

Dynasty Stock Watch - Wide Receivers (Part 1)
The stock market in fantasy football is always turbulent, especially during the offseason when draft choices, free-agent signings, blockbuster trades, coaching changes and off-the-field soap operas can change a player’s fantasy value instantaneously. The NFL has the longest offseason of the four major American sports, which means there are more months for a player’s fantasy […]
Defending Marcus Mariota
As a longtime fan of the Houston Texans and, therefore, a longtime hater of the Tennessee Titans, it takes a lot for me to defend a Titans player. But all of this Marcus Mariota hate has to stop. Yes, his career up to this point hasn't resembled what people wanted from it and he's not […]
Early 2019 Sleepers - Running Backs
What are sleepers? Besides a solid 90’s movie featuring Brad Pitt and what the rest of the east coast is doing while I type this, sleepers are players found in the late rounds of a draft who could provide a benefit to your fantasy team. Everyone wants to find a sleeper like James Conner, Nick […]

Gaining the Trust of a Buffalo - Bills Quarterback Josh Allen
Quoting the Montana Bison Association, “You can gain their trust and friendship, but you have not really changed their basic nature----they will always be wild.” No, I’m not calling Buffalo Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, an animal. I’m figuratively comparing his allure and NFL skills to the nature of this Bovidae. (And for those that say […]

Start of a Dynasty - Expert Mock Draft Review
I’ll be honest, playing re-draft leagues for years can give an avid fantasy footballer tunnel-vision. You tend to look for the immediate impact of a player.
