tAfter a narrow defeat to #2 Ohio St in week 1, Notre Dame showed much promise for the season to come. The defense seemed stout and the offense needed a kick start, but things haven’t gone according to plan. Marshall Recap: Coming into the game, Notre Dame was a 21-point favorite over Marshall. That said, they certainly didn’t play like they were. Notre Dame’s offense continued to remain stagnant while the defense puts on a valiant effort picking up the slack. Despite a poor performance, Notre Dame had a chance to close out the game vs Marshall. However, a late…

To start, Dak Prescott has been a fearless leader and teammate to this Cowboys franchise. After previous long-time starter Tony Romo injured his back in preseason and Kellen Moore (now OC) broke his leg in training camp. It’s hard to say where the Cowboys would have been without Dak’s (& Zeke) magical rookie year. Dak saved the Cowboys from another lost season, however, that was six years ago. Unfortunately, this hasn’t amounted to a Super Bowl victory nor more than a single playoff win. With the Cowboys, potentially, enacting the same past mistakes this begs the question: is Dak’s time…

Many times we will see Fantasy Experts and Gurus offer their assistance with “start or sit” questions. While some may offer apologize for the unfavorable result, others will double down on their choices. I’m here to take responsibility for bad picks, but offer my reasoning behind it! Let’s dive right into the best and worst of this week! Best and Worst by position Quarterbacks  Start Best: Jalen Hurts (QB #4) Hurts has always had potential to be a top-5 fantasy quarterback. The acquisition of AJ Brown has helped tremendously and will help develop this team’s run attack led-by Hurts. His…

After Dallas’ embarrassing home opener vs the Bucs, Cowboys nation is already stirring. What can be wrong with the Cowboys offense? On the other side of the ball, the Cowboys seemed ready. The defense was able to hold Tom Brady’s offense to 1 touchdown and 4 field goals. Heading into training camp, there were many questions surrounding this offense:  from their offensive line, to WR core and their RB situation. This writer breaks down what may be to blame. Dak Prescott As the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys (aka “America’s Team”) you’ll have expectations that are lofty and come…

Tyler Buchner: Current thoughts Due to recency bias, I’m sure the first thought is “no” due to the very sloppy performance against Ohio State. Tyler Buchner didn’t have the best outing vs Ohio State, having completed only 10 total passes on 21 attempts for 177 yards. To note, he was under pressure and overwhelmed by a superior OSU defense. Below, you’ll see a short clip of his second half performance. You notice the offense is overmatched and Buchner is unable to get set or go through his progressions. https://twitter.com/StroudHEISMAN/status/1566636484643495937?s=20&t=3vAtXWgNG0budsk-H8PZNA Tyler Buchner: What made him special?

When it comes to winning your Fantasy Football league drafting is less than half the battle. Drafts use preseason rankings and projections, they do not represent actual totals of players. To dominate your league, you’ll need to remain active and post fantasy draft acquisitions (PDFAs) are the most important towards winning your league. When weighing your options on your waiver wires, you want to consider several Sleepers. Sleepers are players that will perform better than their average draft position (ADP). For example, Cooper Kupp’s considered one of 2021’s sleepers, while drafted in mid-4th to 5th rounds, he finished as the…
