We begin this week with something a bit different. Introducing the Thanksgiving dinner Daily Fantasy draft. This is a non-competitive exercise but one that will occupy far too much of your time. The premise is simple: Construct a...
With the NFL season now past the halfway point, the quest for Most Valuable Player is heating up. There is a tight race for the award, one that will come down to the final weeks. The current options include the top candidates from last...
With apologies to fans of the Giants and Commanders, we’re going with the Super Bowl rematch as our game of the week. Back in olden times, before Sunday Night Football was billed as the premier matchup of the week, there would often be a g...
Last week, we went back to the basics. It worked. Joe Burrow threw for over 300 yards, Christian McCaffrey exceeded his total, and the Chargers did more than the bare minimum. Since the fundamentals worked, why change? Here are the three...
