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 […]

Since they were established in 1960, the Chargers have had 61 seasons in the AFL and the NFL, in San Diego and Los Angeles. Several great players and coaches have also joined the franchise and left indelible marks throughout its history. With just one conference championship and still no Lombardi trophy to their name, the […]

Since joining the NFL in 1970, the Cincinnati Bengals have made 14 playoff appearances, nine division champions, and represented the AFC twice in the Super Bowl. A Lombardi trophy remains elusive for the franchise. It’s had its share of years of futility, but the Bengals have also seen several great wide receivers don their black […]

More than a few pundits boldly claimed that the Miami Heat would upset the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of the playoffs. Well, those people are probably feeling pretty good after the Heat earned a 115-104 Game 1 victory over the Bucks behind 40 points from Jimmy Butler and 27 points from Goran Dragic. […]

The AFC South turned out to be one of the most competitive divisions during the 2019 season. Even though the top seed Houston Texans only notched a 10-win record, the fourth-place Jacksonville Jaguars were not too far behind and grabbed six wins of their own. The margins between the teams were rather slim and every […]

It was just Game 1, but it seems like the Toronto Raptors are in deep trouble after their horrible performance in the 112-94 series opening loss against the Boston Celtics. There aren’t many positives to take away from the Raptors’ Game 1 dud. The Celtics dominated them wire to wire and Toronto didn’t look any […]

Capitalizing on low values for high-upside players in fantasy football is always something that teams are looking for, especially with their quarterbacks. Undervalued fantasy football quarterbacks are game-changers. While the two Tier 1 signal callers, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, will commonly go to in the top two rounds of most drafts, there is a […]

There is simply no argument against the fact the New England Patriots have absolutely dominated the AFC East division over the course of the last two decades. With the Patriots winning the division as a result of every single season but two since back in 2001-02, New England has continually trampled the trio of the […]

Big names, proven veterans, and players changing places commonly make up the group that fits into the ‘overvalued’ category in fantasy football rankings. And especially in the 2020 NFL season with how many proven quarterback options changed places, their production expectations may have followed them to their new homes, but the results will not. QBs […]

For the first time since moving to the Western Conference three seasons ago, Paul George will be playing in the second round of the playoffs, giving him more chances to exorcise the playoff demons and “Playoff P” jokes that have been haunting him. With Kawhi Leonard and George (to a degree) leading the way, the […]

After missing the playoffs three consecutive times, the New Orleans Saints have won the NFC South crown in each of the past three seasons. New Orleans won 13 games in 2018 and 2019 while the NFC South’s second-place team only went 7-9. However, the arrival of a legendary quarterback looking to plant his flag in […]

It wasn’t until 1988 that the Charlotte Hornets was established as an NBA squad. Since it’s inception, the Hornets have not been one of the more successful teams in the league, with this team going only as far as the second round in the playoffs on four separate occasions — as of writing, at least. […]

For the second straight game, the Denver Nuggets’ season looked as if it was in jeopardy.  After building an early lead and threatening to run away in Game 6 of their first round series against the Utah Jazz, Donovan Mitchell was leading the sixth-seeded Jazz to a furious comeback in the second half.  But for […]

The Dallas Mavericks mounted a legitimate challenge in the first round against a heavily favored Los Angeles Clippers side. As a matter of fact, there were a couple of instances during the series that the Mavs had some of us convinced that they could actually pull off the upset. In the end, however, the Clippers […]

The Utah Jazz have been, for the most part, perennial playoff contenders throughout their history. While the Jazz haven’t won an NBA title since being established as a franchise in 1974, they’ve had a good amount of success thanks to some stellar work in the draft. Let’s take a look at the best Jazz draft […]

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and the Los Angeles Clippers inched one step closer to their ultimate goal Sunday afternoon. The Clippers defeated Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series and advanced to the second round, where they’ll take on either the Utah Jazz or Denver Nuggets. Kawhi Leonard […]

The Milwaukee Bucks completed a gentleman’s sweep on the Orlando Magic on Saturday, closing out that first-round matchup with a 4-1 series victory. This allowed the league-best Bucks to set up an intriguing second-round meeting with the Miami Heat, who themselves upset the odds to defeat the fourth-placed Indiana Pacers in the first round. Miami […]

Following a surprising Game 1 loss, the Milwaukee Bucks woke up from their slumber against the eighth-seeded Orlando Magic and won the next four games to advance to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant has always made sure to use his platform to impact racial change.

The Boston Celtics were outstanding on Sunday, as they secured an impressive blowout win against the defending champions Toronto Raptors in Game 1 of their second-round playoff matchup. The Cs came out firing off the gates, outscoring the Raptors 39-23 in the first quarter. They never let Toronto recover from that point on, as the […]

The Philadelphia Eagles finished the 2019 season atop the NFC East. Admittedly, the division as a whole was pretty weak. Due to that, Philadelphia took the crown with just a 9-7 record. Meanwhile, the Dallas Cowboys finished in second with a record of 8-8. The New York Giants were in third with a 4-12 record […]

The Portland Trail Blazers needed an absurd bubble performance from superstar Damian Lillard just to sneak into the postseason. Led by Dame Time, Portland nabbed the 8th seed in the West after going 6-2 in the seeding games and defeating the Memphis Grizzlies in the play-in. However, the No. 1-seeded Los Angeles Lakers proved to […]

The running back position is arguably the most important in fantasy football. Given the NFL has become mostly a passing league, there is more depth at wide receiver–which also has a larger talent pool–and quarterback, making it imperative for owners to find quality in the backfield. Not to mention, there appears to be a lack […]

The Orlando Magic has still yet to win its first NBA championship. Despite the NBA currently holding the “bubble games” down in Central Florida, the Magic is still considered a small market team. Not many of the marquee free agents look to Orlando as an attractive destination. Thus, through its history, the franchise has needed […]

An exciting 2020 season is looming on the horizon and a new set of faces can headline the upcoming Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay. Reigning Super Bowl LIV champion Kansas City Chiefs will certainly be in the running while favorites Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, and the New Orleans Saints are not out of […]

It’s never easy to build a team from the draft. Just ask the Portland Trail Blazers. More often than not, this approach requires a lot of time and patience — something that not all teams in the league have the luxury of having. Drafting a once-in-a-generation type of talent that would instantly boost his team’s […]

There are five NBA head-coaching vacancies: the Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans, Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Indiana Pacers. From an objective standpoint, all five of these jobs have lure. It’s a matter of which ones have an edge over the others. Here’s how the five situations stack up against each other. 5) Chicago Bulls […]

Value is key, and when it comes to fantasy football, being able to mine some late-round value is a huge get for teams. Doing your research beforehand, even creating a big board, and potentially using some sort of industry rankings to help lead your draft are exactly the types of tools that you can use […]

The Indiana Pacers secured the fourth-seed in the Eastern Conference (45-28), only to be swept by the 5th-seeded Miami Heat in the first round of the 2020 NBA playoffs. The disappointing turnout led to the dismissal of former head coach Nate McMillan, effectively ending his four-year stint with the team. While the young Pacers team […]

The wide receiver position continues to be more stacked than ever in fantasy football. Despite the mass influx of emerging wideouts, some players tend to be hyped and overvalued based on their average draft position (ADP). It is an indicator that helps fantasy drafters see the fantasy value of players and locate at which point […]

Sneakers play a big role when it comes to playing basketball.

The Indianapolis Colts remain to be of the most storied franchises in the history of the NFL. Some excellent decision-making and strategic trades pulled off by the front office changed the fate and contributed to the rich winning culture that the franchise now possesses today. The margins between the trades below are relatively thin because […]

Tensions inside the NBA’s Orlando bubble were already high, but the emotional postgame message from Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers on Tuesday night sparked something else. On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks went on strike, refusing to play their Game 5 against the Orlando Magic. The Orlando Magic, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los […]

The Jayson Tatum coming out party for the Boston Celtics is in full swing in the ongoing 2020 NBA playoffs. Following a rather lackluster sophomore run where his play regressed from his brilliant rookie season, the promising Duke alum finally met those high expectations this season. Tatum made the first of possibly multiple All-Star appearances […]

The Dallas Mavericks have had quite a long history of ups and downs. Ever since the late 1970s, the franchise has been in and out of playoff contention which saw the team rebuilding from time to time. The Mavs had their fair share of luck when it comes to playoff runs and even winning it […]

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 […]

Running backs are one of the most crucial positions in fantasy football that can spell success for fantasy rosters. However, some ball-carriers turn out to be busts and have awful seasons altogether. It may be due to getting lost on a stacked position group, being haunted by lingering injuries, or merely getting caught in a […]

The Denver Nuggets have always looked like they are good enough to fit in and compete with the league, but never enough to win it all. This has held true for decades as the team has yet to win its first championship, never even reached the Finals, and have only made it to the Western […]

The wide receiver position is always pretty deep when it comes to fantasy football as the sheer volume of these players majorly outweighs that of quarterbacks, running backs and tight ends. However, there also leaves a lot more room for unexpected players to break out while some other more notable players are unable to perform […]
