In this week's dynasty download, we'll be breaking down the AFC North. For each team, I'll include a summary of that team's 2025 season, review the key starting players who will be up for a new contract, highlight what positions need to be addressed in the offseason, and finally give my thoughts on that team's

You've made it. From the opening horn, all the way to now, you've survived. Through cunning, wit, guile, and luck, here you stand on the precipice of fantasy greatness. But the job is not done. These will be the biggest tests of the entire season. You will be tempted by false glory. You will be

As we approach the fantasy playoffs, the stakes are at an all-time high. Many matchups are "win and in" or "lose and go home." If you are vying for your spot in the playoffs, our Optimus team is here to help you make some of those tough start/sit decisions. Buckle up, strap in, and get

Welcome to Week 10 of Angles & Leverage! It's the first week we've had this season, some truly uneasy lineup decisions this week, especially in DFS. I can't believe I was scouring stone-minimum wide receivers with actual intent to start one of them. It was gross! Four more teams are on bye this week, including

Guess who's back, back again? Oh, it's me! Back again with another week of Unpacking the NFL. If you are new here, welcome! Every Monday, I will be posting a stat/takeaway dump, unpacking different players and fantasy-related situations around the league. Week 8 included National Tight End Day! I, for one, was excited! It is usually

It's Week…Lou hurriedly counts on his fingers, apparently confused as to why they stop at five on one hand…seven! It's Week 7, folks! Boy, time flies when you're having fun. It can also fly when you're having whatever this fantasy season is.  We've got guys returning to lineups, we've got guys missing from lineups, and

I am back for another week of Unpacking the NFL. If you are new here, I will be posting a stat/takeaway dump every Monday*, unpacking different players and situations around the league. *Due to unforeseen circumstances, Week 6's edition has come to you on Tuesday. But hey, at least now I can include both Monday

It's Week 6, and there are only two teams on bye: the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings. Enough time has gone by this season that we're starting to know what these teams are in 2025. Like the Colts, it's much more than a hot start at this point; they're AFC contenders. There's a lot of
