11 Sleepers Who Flashed on Thursday Night and What You Need to Know About Them

Why I Keep Buying Mike Williams, Red Flags and All

A year ago, Mike Williams was one of my must-avoid players, and then he struggled through an injury-plagued rookie season with 11 catches for 95 yards. That’s obviously not a great sign, but it may be worse than you think. Neil Dutton has shown that receivers with extremely low levels of rookie production tend to have short NFL careers…....

Last week a bunch of my favorite people participated in a best ball league for charity, and thanks go out to our ringleader Pat Thorman.

Post-Draft Rookie Tiers: Shakeup at RB, Collapse at WR

Last Thursday, I offered my Pre-Draft Rookie Tiers.

And that’s what makes the draft so frustrating and ultimately exciting…....
