Ryan Fitzpatrick, the New York Jets starting quarterback, tore the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) of his left/non-throwing thumb during a scramble Week 8.

When the UCL is torn, the MP joint becomes unstable, and the ability to grip and pinch with force is lost. This has been…...

It was a somber weekend in the NFL. While Drew Brees and Eli Manning were playing Tecmo Bowl in the Bayou, injuries were mounting up around the league. We lost the best running back in the NFL (again) to an ACL tear. Matt Forte may miss multiple weeks with an MCL sprain. Steve Smith had his season, and perhaps his career, ended by an Achilles tear, and there were many more…....

Welcome to Week 8. I’m pleased to say that after starting the season taking losses in weeks 1-4, I’ve had good success the past three weeks to get back to break even.

Every team now has at least six games under their belt, which is optimal for predicting fantasy production. Let’s jump right into the week 8 projections and picks….

We often refer to these as “buys” during the season, but Brian Hoyer is a situation where the term sleeper makes more sense. Based on the volume in his…...

There are so many differences between the NFL and NBA seasons. The most obvious from a DFS perspective is simply time. We have all week to prepare for football. The NBA is much faster, and I think for the average Joe working a nine to five, it is often difficult to research sufficiently for the upcoming slate of games. But have no fear!… Membership Required...
