The pesky achilles tendon. This past weekend saw another rookie RB go down with a serious, season-ending injury. Seriously, can we please catch a break in dynasty leagues? The good news is that D’Onta Foreman is coming off of his best performance as a p...
Week 6 has come quickly. It seems like this season has been going too fast. I will share a few players who are under a 59 % start percent. These players could be the difference from a dart throw, to a player who has a little more upside. With bye [&hellip...
The pride of Houston, the face of the franchise for Texans fans, was battling back from back injuries and I thought tonight would be the night he fought back to the top of the stat sheet. Like many, I wanted him to return to the glory of his earlier days....

Indianapolis Colts The Colts have veterans D’Qwell Jackson and Nate Irving entrenched as the inside linebackers in 2016, but at 32 and 28 years old respectively, neither guy would be considered long term solutions for Indianapolis. Therefore, with t...
As humans, our impulses always draw us to the new and shiny things. From the day we were given that shiny new toy car at the age of 2, we were always looking for the flashier, fresher object. Even as adults, our focus does not deter away from the newest [...
There were hundreds of stories being told about the 2016 NFL Draft class. One the most interesting transformations is about an athletic quarterback turned receiver, Braxton Miller. Recent history tells us that Hines Ward has been the one to have made the ...
In today’s fast paced NFL, the “need for speed” is everywhere and seems to be desired by all. The 2016 NFL Draft had a few speed demons and the one that garnered the most attention was former Notre Dame wide out, Will Fuller, who was sel...
I was never a big fan of Lamar Miller in Miami, but his recent change of scenery with the Houston Texans has made me a fan. In the interest of full disclosure, he’s still my second favorite Lamar after Lamar from Revenge of the Nerds, but that’...
Let me guess how this went…you saw this link, glanced at the title, and then said “Who?!”. Well, you aren’t alone. Stephen Anderson is at the moment a very hidden commodity, which is exactly why I am telling you about him now before his value blow...
