Anatomy of an Underdog: Five NFC North “Dogs” To Roster

One of the more common fantasy football articles are the 2018 best sleepers columns. These columns are useful, and they help find value when drafting.

Injury Impact: Jerick McKinnon

In case you missed it, spoiler alert, San Francisco 49ers running back (and off-season fantasy football darling) Jerick McKinnon tore the ACL in his right knee on the final play of Saturday’s practice.

Anatomy of an Underdog: Lessons from the NFC East
