AAF Week 3 Fantasy Football Recap (Sunday Games)

Now that we are three weeks into the AAF season, some clear trends are starting to emerge. Orlando is the team to beat and clearly has the most fantasy assets on its roster.

AAF Week 3 Fantasy Football Recap (Saturday Games)

I think we discovered a few new things during Week 3 of the AAF season, but many of the same elements that we have become accustomed to seeing held steady.

AAF Week 1 Recap - Fantasy Risers, Fallers (Saturday Games)

The opening weekend of the inaugural AAF season is officially in the books, and while I don't think the four games blew the roof off, the league displayed itself as a viable option for fans during the NFL offseason.
