The more best ball leagues you join, the more you'll start to spot trends in draft picks. As noted in the first part of the series, running backs are dominating the first couple of rounds with wide receivers filling the gaps. The elite tight ends fall into the second and third round. Defenses start to disappear in the teens. Even late-round WR, RB, or TE picks present value. You know the talent is there, but the path to success isn't clear. "Taywan Taylor should be out on the field in three-receiver sets." "Dante…

If you're a fan of the Cowboys, Giants, or Redskins, you'd hope to see your team making splashy free agent signings. Anything to keep them in competition with the Eagles.

Le'Veon Bell lashed the Ravens, the Broncos' defense stomped some mudholes, and Todd Gurley just kept right on doing his thing. That's how Week 4 is supposed to be, and after so many tight and exciting games, there's plenty to recap. Here's everything you need to know: Thumbs Up It's nice of Bilal Powell to finally show up. Would you believe the Jets are 2-2? Most of this is thanks to Powell's…

Week 1 was pretty unpredictable, as it is every year. The New England Patriots lost their home opener, Goff threw for over 300 yards, and one game had to be moved to later in the season due to Hurricane Irma. How often do all those things happen? Let alone all in the same week. But, hey, that's Week 1 for you. Predicting quarterbacks this week should be a little easier after seeing how team defenses looked last week.
