It’s already been a tough preseason for some fantasy football notables.

Within the span of ten days owners were no longer able to depend on the services of Jordy Nelson and Kelvin Benjamin; and within the span of four days owners very nearly lost Mike Evans and Randall Cobb.

Such is the nature of the real life NFL.  Continue reading “Fantasy Football 2015: Jeff Janis, Ty Montgomery Among Fantasy Football “Names To Know” For Injury & Suspension Replacements”

We all hope to draft them.

You know who I’m talking about. We want those players who played at such a high level late in the season that they get you so stoked about the next you can barely control your excitement.

SEC Media Days never disappoint.
