We are officially done with Week 4 of the NFL season. This is a season like one we have never seen before so it is taking some time to get things right early on. With teams having played a quarter of their games, the league is beginning to take shape. This is true of individual […]

The NFL season is well underway and that means that fantasy football is also in full swing. One of the most unpredictable positions in fantasy is the tight end spot unless you have one of the top-tier options. Names like Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Mark Andrews will be penciled into lineups every week. Zach […]

The Most Valuable Player award in the NBA has turned into a ‘Player of the Year’ award. Players like James Harden or Russell Westbrook receiving the award clearly shows that individual statistics has taken over team success or the worth of a player to their team. Otherwise, LeBron James would win it every year. Recently, […]

Entering the 2020 season, the Arizona Cardinals were projected by many to be at the bottom of the NFC West. That is not the case to begin the season. After two weeks, the Cardinals have a 61.7% chance to make the postseason, according to Football Outsiders. Arizona set the tone for their season immediately. In […]

Week 2 around the NFL was something we have never seen before. It is hard to remember the last time so many premier players — including fantasy football players — were forced to leave their games due to an injury. The news came out about Saquon Barkley suffering a torn ACL on Monday. Other names […]

Michael Jordan is the undisputed best player of his generation and is arguably the best player of all-time. He was named league MVP five times and that might not have been enough. In his second year in the league, Jordan finished sixth in MVP voting. From that point until his final season with the Bulls, […]

The San Francisco 49ers entered MetLife Stadium in Week 2 a hungry team looking for their first win after a divisional loss to begin the season. They left with a blowout victory over the New York Jets but lost many key members of their team. It begins with Nick Bosa, who was carted off early […]

The Cincinnati Bengals have had a roller-coaster history dating back to the ’80s when they were making Super Bowl runs with Boomer Esiason and Ken Anderson. They had a great history of regular season success under Marvin Lewis but completely fell apart in the postseason. This all adds up to the Bengals being one of […]

The first week of the NFL is now in the books. Teams have set the tone for their seasons, and that goes for the pros and the owners in fantasy football. Heading into Week 2, teams now know what to expect from their lineups. The tight end position is one of the toughest to navigate […]

It is never too early to begin looking at head coaches on the NFL hot seat. This is especially true when there were plenty of options already sitting there heading into the season. Week 1 just solidified their spot. Head coaches find themselves on the hot seat after completely destroying their football team on and […]

One of the games of the weekend took place in Carolina with the Panthers hosting the Las Vegas Raiders. The first game for the Raiders in Sin City was a success. They picked up a 34-30 victory to remain undefeated heading into their home opener. The Raiders squandered a lead in the fourth quarter but […]

The Chicago Bears made the decision to start Mitchell Trubisky in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. They made a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars for Nick Foles, but they did not feel like it was time to give up on their former No. 2 overall pick. Early on, this looked like a disastrous decision. […]

Fantasy Football season is one of the most exciting times of the year. We are well into drafts and leagues are starting to take shape with the season less than two weeks away. Overvalued fantasy football running backs need to be known, as do overrated fantasy football running backs and overvalued ADP fantasy football players. […]

The Miami Dolphins have a rich history of success, but not recently. They have made the playoffs just twice since 2002 and have not won a Super Bowl since the 1973 season. Miami is hoping that Tua Tagovailoa can lead their rebuild and turn the franchise around quickly. The Dolphins have been busy both in […]

Fantasy Football season is upon us. It is one of the most exciting times of the year. Leagues are being renewed and drafts are being planned. On draft day, the running back position will once again be one of the toughest to figure out. Year in and year out, the top-tier running backs are selected […]

We are quickly approaching one of the best times of the year — fantasy football season. Projections and mock drafts have been done and now leagues will begin to renew and plan their draft days.  The tight end position is extremely top-heavy, but there are still strong options after the top three. Tight ends are […]

Travis Kelce is an elite tight end. He is the best in the game, even though some would argue that George Kittle is better. Looking at Kelce’s numbers, he has a chance to be one of the best to ever do it. Since 2014, Kelce has eclipsed 800 yards in every season. Over the last […]

The New York Giants are one of the best franchises in NFL history dating back to 1925. The Giants have always been well run from the owner to the head coach on the sidelines. In recent years, that narrative has changed just a bit. The Giants have not been able to find a stable head […]

The Philadelphia Eagles picked up their first Super Bowl in franchise history in 2017 and have been threats ever since. In 2020, they will look to take another division title behind a healthy Carson Wentz and a revamped defense. The defense was greatly improved when they landed Darius Slay in a trade with the Detroit […]

The Seattle Seahawks have had a pretty good history of quarterback play over the years. If you judge it by consistency, skill, and accomplishments, the Seahawks have done well in the Super Bowl era. Seattle has been one of the best teams in the league for many years now and it is because of a […]

The New York Giants have been an existing franchise since 1925. They began winning NFL Championships soon after being founded. The Giants have four NFL Championships and four Super Bowls in their history. Since their last title in 2011, the Giants have made the playoffs just once in eight years. That stretch will continue in […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have turned into an explosive offense. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were both 1,000-yard receivers in 2019 with Jamie’s Winston under center. The Bucs have significantly improved that position during the offseason. The Bucs signed Tom Brady to a two-year deal in March. He will have plenty of weapons to work […]

The Buffalo Bills are fully back. They earned a wild card spot in 2019 with a 10-6 record. In 2020, they will look to take the next step and win the AFC East Division now that Tom Brady is in the NFC with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Josh Allen took a step forward last season […]

From the days of the New Jersey Americans and New York Nets in the ABA to the New Jersey and Brooklyn Nets in the NBA, this franchise had plenty of legends wear the uniform. When you hear the Nets, you think of players like Julius Erving and Jason Kidd. But there are plenty of greats […]

The 2020 Green bay Packers could use one of the wide receivers on this list. After a 13-3 regular season that ended in an NFC Championship loss, the Packers failed to get Aaron Rodgers a weapon in the draft. Davante Adams will once again be the Packers’ No. 1 option. They added Devin Funchess on […]

Did the Minnesota Vikings add their next great wide receiver in the offseason? They are hoping that is the case when they selected LSU product Justin Jefferson in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The Vikings are a team with a rich history of great receivers—and Jefferson could be next in line. The […]

The Dallas Cowboys came to existence in 1960 and began their rich history under head coach Tom Landry. Over the years, the Cowboys have employed legendary coaches, Hall of Fame quarterbacks, and champions all around. They are hoping for the same luck in the future. The Cowboys recently signed Amari Cooper to a five-year, $100 […]

The San Francisco 49ers selected a quarterback out of Notre Dame with the 82nd pick in the third round of the 1979 NFL Draft. Little did they know that when they picked Joe Montana, they were selecting a future Hall of Famer who would be known as one of the biggest winners in league history. […]

The Tennessee Titans began their history as the Houston Oilers in 1960. In their very first two years as a franchise, the Oilers won the AFL Championship. After the 1996 season, they spent two years as the Tennessee Oilers before turning into the Titans that we know today. In their first year as the Tennessee […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have a long history of explosive running backs and head coaches that like to use them in a multitude of ways. Heading into the 2020 season, the Eagles’ running back group is anything but impressive after Miles Sanders. Sanders burst onto the scene as a rookie and showed that he is capable […]

The Houston Texans have been around since 2002. Despite their lack of time as part of the NFL, they have had some top-tier running backs line up in the backfield over the years. Houston will have a strong duo in the backfield heading into the 2020 season. Duke Johnson Jr. will be backing up David […]

The Buffalo Bills are back on the rise. After a 17-year playoff drought, the Bills have qualified in two of the last three seasons and will enter the 2020 season as a favorite in the AFC East. Buffalo has built its defense and added who they hope is their franchise quarterback in Josh Allen. Over […]

It will be hard to find an NFL team with a more successful history than the Pittsburgh Steelers. They have six Super Bowl championships, tied for the most in the league. They have had plenty of legendary players pass through their locker room whether they were quarterbacks, wide receivers or defensive lineman. Pittsburgh has also […]

The history of the New York Giants dates back to 1925. That means there are many running backs who have lined up in the backfield and carried the ball. The Giants selected Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. He burst onto the scene as a rookie with over 2,000 […]

The Washington Redskins have a rich history of winning games and championships in the trenches. The offensive line during the 1980s and early 1990s were known as the Hogs. This group dominated the line of scrimmage and made running the ball very simple. In 2020, the Redskins will look to continue their history of strong […]

This is one of the most lopsided rivalries in the NFL to date. The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills play twice a year in the regular season. Since 2000, the Patriots are 35-5 against the Bills. This was not always the case. The Patriots and Bills have had some great battles. In the 1990s, […]

There are certain rivalries that will be intense no matter the current state of the teams. This is true of the matchups between the Denver Broncos and the Las Vegas Raiders. These are two teams that have seen great success in their history and created many unforgettable moments. This has not been the case recently. […]

The Boston Patriots were founded in 1960 and became the New England Patriots in 1971. There have been 28 starting quarterbacks in franchise history and many have been notable. For the first time since 2001, the Patriots will have a quarterback battle heading into training camp. Second year player Jarrett Stidham was believed to be […]

The Minnesota Vikings have been eyeing a championship for years. In 2017, the Vikings reached the NFC Championship Game with Case Keenum under center. They felt they were just one player away and that led to one of the most criticized signings in recent memory. The Vikings and Kirk Cousins agreed to a three-year, $84 […]
