Corey Davis Not A Recommended Option In Week 17

Dion Lewis Could Have Sneaky Daily Fantasy Appeal In Week 17

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis has seen his fantasy stock plummet following the December explosion from Derrick Henry.

This matchup with the Indianapolis Colts may present a […]

Derrick Henry - Fantasy Football Legend

Fantasy football legends come in all different shapes, sizes, and skill levels. Sometimes it's the stars that shine even brighter when all eyes are on them. We saw this with Todd Gurley last season.

Corey Davis Added To Injury Report

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hamstring) was added to the Week 17 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday.

Carson Wentz - Dynasty Dud or Buy-Low?

Coming into last season, Carson Wentz was high on the list of dynasty quarterbacks.
