Game Rewind: The Patriots lost to the Dolphins 27-20 in what could simply be categorized as a bad loss. Tom Brady and company were out of rhythm offensively and the team as a whole seemed disinterested at times. It is hard to believe with a Bill Belichick coached team but maybe, just maybe they looked ahead to the Steelers a little bit. Here are five thoughts on the game. 1….
One week into the fantasy playoffs and these are the players who helped fantasy teams and hurt them. Studs Rod Smith, RB, Cowboys: Smith carried the ball 6 times for 47 yards and a touchdown and caught 5 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. Smith had a monster day and he isn’t likely to replicate it again but for his owners but it came at the right time. Jamaal Williams,…
The Philadelphia Eagles announced that quarterback Carson Wentz does indeed have a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season. It is a huge blow for the Eagles. Wentz was playing at an MVP caliber level and the Eagles look like the team to beat in the NFC. Fantasy owners who were starting Wentz are also affected by his loss, especially those that are in the playoffs. Replacing…

By Michael Vallee Last Sunday the New England Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills 23-3. If we did an analytical deep dive into this one it would go something like this: The Patriots are really, really good and the Bills are terrible. The Patriots have talented players, the Bills have shitty players. The Patriots coaches are smart, the Bills coaches are stupid. The Patriots organization is always three steps ahead, the…
By: Jared Leonard We have a full schedule for the Sunday slate this week. Quarterback is a little tricky this week and there is good value at RB. Here are my plays for week 14. Quarterbacks: Ownership at this position could be scattered around this week, because of so many quarterbacks coming in at similar price points. However, I think Carr is the guy to play this week, Chiefs’ defense…
The most prestigious individual award in all of sports will be handed out tonight. The Heisman Trophy will be handed out tonight in New York City. My pick to win the 2017 Heisman Trophy is Baker Mayfield. Mayfield was impressive leading the Sooners to a 12-1 record and a Big 12 championship. Mayfield threw for 4,340 yards and 41 touchdown passes. He completed 71% of his passes which proves how…
It is playoff time! Time to make good decisions regarding your roster. Here is who you should add and who you should drop for this week. Add Em! 1. Peyton Barber, RB, Bucs: Barber was impressive last week in Doug Martin’s absence. With the Bucs out of playoff contention, they may give Barber an extended look which means he has flex potential. 2. Aaron Jones, RB, Packers: Jones is back…
Some thoughts on Championship weekend. It was a wild weekend mired in controversy. 1.The committee got it wrong! Alabama has no business being in the final four! I don’t care that they only have one loss. They played no one! Ohio State deserved to get in over them. They won their conference and they had several quality wins (Michigan State, Penn State, Michigan and Wisconsin). Don’t give me the Iowa…
Game Rewind: Thanks to a dominant performance by the defense, the Patriots were able to shut down the Bills offense en route to a 23-3 win. Running back Rex Burkehead was the star for the Patriots, scoring two touchdowns in the win. Here my thoughts on the game. 1. Defense Dominates Again: The Patriots defense only gave up less than 300 yards of total offense and a field goal in yet another dominant…
