Willis McGahee missed two […]

By Joshua Johnson | May 28, 2018 | Comments Off on Depth Charting: Miami Wide Receivers

Why Drafting Two Elite Tight Ends Is the Secret to Best Ball Success in 2018

By Ryan Barlow | May 25, 2018 | Comments Off on Why Drafting Two Elite Tight Ends Is the Secret to Best Ball Success in 2018

With best ball draft season in full swing, I’ve been a big advocate of a contrarian strategy in drafts this year in my  MFL10 drafts: grab two elite TEs early.
