Fantasy Football Eulogy - Jay Cutler

The 2017 NFL season is over and the 2018 NFL Draft isn't here yet, which means everyone across the fantasy football realm--the redrafters and the dynasty-ers--has a little time to relax and look back, to reminisce about your successes and failures over the past year. It's also a chance to look back at the careers […]

Biggest Surprises of 2017 - Tight Ends

The tight end position is one in fantasy football that can really go one of two ways. You either pay up to get Rob Gronkowski, or you wait it out and roll a guy like Cameron Brate or Jack Doyle out there every week. In recent years, there have been two young stud TEs emerge, […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Wide Receivers

So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at both the quarterback and running back positions. This time we're looking at wide receivers who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Wide receiver scoring was down as a whole this season, which meant more fallers than usual. At the same time, some veteran […]

Biggest Tight End Busts - 2017 Year in Review

At the end of every year of fantasy football, you're left with some immediate observations about what you'll do differently in 2018. You'll spend time thinking about which RB is potentially going to be your money-in-the-bank guy in 2018, or which third-round wide receiver will make up for the 2017 mistake of drafting Terrelle Pryor in that spot. […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Quarterbacks

The quarterback position saw plenty of volatility in 2017, as 58 different quarterbacks started at least one game. And that's just for the Cleveland Browns... We saw a rookie sensation, some second-year ascents, and the possible beginning of the end for some established veterans. Then there was Old Faithful Tom Brady defying the odds yet again. […]

2018 NFL Draft Class Preview - Tight Ends

Today we'll continue to evaluate the 2018 NFL draft class by taking a look at the tight end position. Typically, tight ends take a little extra time to develop into contributing members of the offense, but 2017 proved that some can make an immediate impact. While this class has some high-caliber talent, the expectation should […]

#TrendingNow Dynasty Risers and Fallers - 2017 Season Review

I hope you have taken a week or two to relax and admire the work of your 2017 season. You only have a short window though, because as a dynasty fantasy owner, there is no offseason. It’s time to start planning what move will come next, whether it be a draft, free agency or trade. […]

Ryan Day Expected To Stay In College Ranks

Ohio State co-offensive coordinator Ryan Day, who is a candidate for the Titans offensive coordinator position, is expected to remain at Ohio State, according to a source.

Dick LeBeau Won't Return As Defensive Coordinator

Tennessee Titans defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau, who is 80 years old, will not return to the team next season, according to a team source. Another source with knowledge of LeBeau's thinking said last week that LeBeau likely would "be comfortable retiring if it doesn't work out in Tennessee." With the Titans hiring a new head […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Conference Championship Fantasy Football Picks

It's hard to believe we have only one more weekend before the Super Bowl matchup is set. It could very well be a showdown between the top two seeds, which is something that hasn't happened since... well, it happened two years ago actually. For all the unpredictability the NFL brings, especially in the fantasy realm, […]

Titans Interview Steve Wilks On Thursday

The Tennessee Titans interviewed Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks for their head coaching vacancy on Thursday. He led the Panthers to a seventh-place finish in total defense in 2017, including third against the run and 18th against the pass.

Deeper DraftKings DFS Sleepers for the Conference Championships

And now there are just four teams left in the NFL playoffs. The New England Patriots are there, like many people expected. The Philadelphia Eagles are there too, which many people also expected at times during the regular season until quarterback Carson Wentz went down with a knee injury and was replaced by the Nick […]

Biggest Running Back Busts - 2017 Year in Review

I'm a firm believer that I know very little, and that taking my advice is generally the equivalent of asking someone on the street. I'm not referring to fantasy sports so much as everything else: how to cook a fish, how many quarts are in a cup, how to put together a desk, etc. When it […]

Titans Not Worried About Marcus Mariota's Development

Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson remains confident that quarterback Marcus Mariota is the right guy for the gig, and Robinson isn't too worried that the team will have yet another head coach guiding the offense in 2018. “Marcus is a pretty resilient guy. He’s a very mentally tough guy,” Robinson said of Mariota. “He […]

Titans To Interview Matt LaFleur

The Tennessee Titans will interview Rams offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur for their vacant head coaching position, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. LaFleur was working under the tutelage of impressive young Rams head coach Sean McVay in 2017, and he also worked with him in Washington. It would be an outside-the-box hire, […]

Josh McDaniels May Prefer Titans Head Coaching Job

The belief is that Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels would prefer the Titans head coaching position over all the others. The health of Colts quarterback Andrew Luck (shoulder) is an issue, and McDaniels likes the high ceiling of Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota. The Colts job isn't all that attractive unless Luck is able to return […]

Titans To Interview Mike Vrabel For Head Coaching Position

The Tennessee Titans will interview Texans defensive coordinator Mike Vrabel for their vacant head coaching position. With former head coach Mike Mularkey and the Titans agreeing to part ways Monday, the Titans will now need to search for a new head coach to help improve quarterback Marcus Mariota and the offense. Vrabel doesn't seem like […]

Titans, Mike Mularkey Agree To Part Ways

The Tennessee Titans and head coach Mike Mularkey have agreed to part ways, according to a league source. This seems odd after the Titans reportedly were offering Mularkey a contract extension after the Titans pulled off a surprise comeback upset of the Chiefs in the Wild-Card round. However, Mularkey's decisions on offense during the season […]

Jack Conklin Needs Surgery On Torn ACL

Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Jack Conklin (knee) suffered a torn left ACL in the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots, and he'll need to undergo surgery. “He will be a possible PUP candidate once we get though training camp just based on the timing of the injury, which is unfortunate," head coach Mike Mularkey said. […]

Jonnu Smith Tore MCL In Playoffs

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) suffered a torn MCL in the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots. However, he should be able to participate in organized team activities in the offseason, barring any setbacks. In Smith's first season in the NFL, he caught 18 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns. As […]

DeMarco Murray Expects To Bounce Back In 2018

Tennessee Titans running back DeMarco Murray is hoping to bounce back in 2018 after dealing with several injuries and a down season in 2017. “I am very confident in myself and I am excited,” Murray said. “I am excited about the future, and my future. I know what kind of player I am.” Murray missed […]

Marcus Mariota Suffered Sprained Quad

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (quadriceps) suffered a strained quadriceps in the first quarter of the Divisional Round loss to the Patriots on Saturday, according to head coach Mike Mularkey. Mariota's injury forced the team to alter their offensive game plan, and it likely played a part in Mariota being sacked eight times. Mariota's scrambling […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Divisional Playoff Round

Some football fans and experts label the Divisional Playoff round the best weekend of NFL football of the year, and it might be the best weekend for playoff fantasy football as well.

Heroes and Zeroes - Divisional Round Fantasy Football Picks

I have to admit I'm a bit peeved that LeSean McCoy miraculously healed from his ankle injury in time to ruin my Marcus Murphy sleeper pick. Otherwise, I might have gone six-for-six on my Hero picks last week. Sure, Kareem Hunt didn't put up huge numbers, but he did score a touchdown to at least […]

Eight Lineup Busts and Avoids for the Divisional Round

The second round of the playoffs is here, which means that this is the final week in which we'll have four games going. Below is a potential bust for each team this weekend. Because there are so few teams in play, these players aren't necessarily potential busts in the same sense that they would have been […]

Divisional Round Game Picks - NFL Playoff Predictions

The best weekend of the NFL season is here. The Divisional Round usually pits the eight divisional champs against one another, if they win at home the week prior. This year only two of the four matchups are between division champs, Jags at Steelers, and Saints at Vikings. A quick word about Chiefs collapse against […]

DraftKings DFS Risers and Fallers - Divisional Round

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.
