TFTB Penguins Recap: Game 1
Hmmmmm.......... Honestly, not too sure what to say about this game. It wasn't AWFUL, but it wasn't great either. The Pens competed, but the Sabres wanted it more, and the killing blow came from a familiar face too. Revenge is a dish best served cold Yeah, that's right, Conor Sheary (S H A R EContinue reading "TFTB Penguins Recap: Game 1"

NFL Week 5 Start Sits
DUH DUHNNADUN DUNDHUNA. Football is back tonight with the Seattle Seahawks facing off against the L.A. Rams, a game that actually should be pretty exciting. Goff has been...odd this season to be completely honest, and I mean that in the most system quarterback way I can say it. It's just me and Dre this weekContinue reading "NFL Week 5 Start Sits"
Start’ Em Sit’ Em Tight Ends – Week 5
Starts Start of the Week - Austin Hooper vs Houston Texans Don't look now, but Austin Hooper is becoming a valuable starting tight end for Matt Ryan and the Falcons as well as whoever has him for fantasy. Hooper's matchup might not be the most favorable, but he is hard to sit in fantasyContinue reading "Start’ Em Sit’ Em Tight Ends – Week 5"
Start’ Em Sit’ Em Wide Receivers – Week 5
Starts Start of the Week - Julian Edelman vs Washington Redskins Edelman predictably put up a stinker last week against Buffalo, but their defense is incredibly talented. The Redskin's defense? Not so much. Edelman should thrive here as the Redskins are fifth worst in the league against slot receivers. Since Edelman plays this positionContinue reading "Start’ Em Sit’ Em Wide Receivers – Week 5"
Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 5
Starts Start of the Week - Austin Ekeler vs Denver Broncos I know it is a risky move to start Ekeler this week with Melvin Gordon coming back, but this matchup is just too enticing to pass up. The Broncos are horrible against the run and just gave up over 200 yards on theContinue reading "Start’ Em Sit’ Em Running Backs – Week 5"
Start’ Em Sit’ Em Quarterbacks – Week 5
Starts Start of the Week - Carson Wentz vs New York Jets Wentz is coming off a huge performance against the excellent defense of the Green Bay Packers. He was the first one to throw a passing touchdown against them and not only did he do that, but he threw two more as well.Continue reading "Start’ Em Sit’ Em Quarterbacks – Week 5"
