Aaron Rodgers is somehow throwing the ball less efficiently than Cam Ward. And somewhere in Atlanta, Kyle Pitts is wondering why he bothered getting dressed. Meanwhile, rookies are making

Come in, come in, sit down. So tell me, what brings you in today? Mmhmm. Mmhmm. I see. OK. Well, you've certainly got plenty on your mind. I know, I know, it's a lot to carry all at once, but don't worry, we're gonna help you sort through it. After all, it's early in the

Week 1 is in the books, which means we have exactly one week's worth of data to confidently overreact to. Perfect.

Thanksgiving is almost here, but before you get swept into a whirlwind of turkey, travel, and whatever emotional turbulence your family tradition guarantees, we've got one more "show" for you.  Our writers have locked in their higher/lower picks for

Thanksgiving week is finally here, and while everyone else is arguing about who ruined the mashed potatoes or why the turkey is somehow both dry and undercooked, you're focused on the only feast that really matters: the Week 13 waiver wire buffet. Playoff spots are tightening like your waistband after round three, and this is

🎶 If I could turn back time…🎶 echoes softly in the distance Is it the pursuit of knowledge that makes us want to look back and ask, "What if?" Or is it a sort of self-punishment? "I should have known better."  🎶If I could find a wayyyyyy🎶 the music swells Welcome to Optimus Fantasy's look

I honestly cannot believe Week 9 is over. We are officially halfway through the regular season, folks. It feels like it has flown by. For most leagues, the fantasy playoffs start in just five short weeks. Some of you may be looking ahead to the playoffs, while others are just trying their best not to
