On Wednesday I wrote that the Browns were re-setting their offensive table for … someone. On Friday afternoon Yahoo Sports’ Charles Robinson confirmed that the “someone” was in the end, after multiple twists and turns, going to be Deshaun Watson. The Browns will trade a multi-pick package that includes three first-rounders to the Texans for Watson after the quarterback waived his no-trade clause to go to Cleveland.

Coming into this past weekend, we only had 13 NFL games left until September, so complaining about any of them seems a little ungrateful. But let’s be honest … several of the allegedly “super” wild-card matchups in the NFL playoffs stunk like those Thanksgiving leftovers you just discovered in the back of the fridge. Sure, two of the games came down to the last possession. But two others were all but unwatchable from the jump. The Bucs and Bills hung a combined 58 points – Tampa Bay 31,… Source link

It’s been noticeable for years (particularly since Brett McMurphy was laid off in the massive April 2017 cuts) that ESPN-affiliated reporters have not been breaking most of the news in college football. As AA’s Ben Koo explored in early December 2021, that’s a sharp contrast to sports like the NFL and NBA where ESPN employs an insider they can credit on the Bottom Line ticker for most signings or moves (Adam Schefter and Adrian Wojnarowski, respectively). But that’s about to at… Source link

The final week of the NFL regular season can be tricky to navigate in DFS, but we see it as an opportunity to take advantage. As always, we’ll have some sleepers and under-valued dart throws… Source link

We know the majority of fantasy football owners in traditional leagues are done for the season but for DFSers, There are two more weeks — and two more main slates — remaining in the 2021 regular season. The drama promises to be high with a number of teams still in the mix for a playoff berth — or on the hunt for their conference’s lone bye.
