Chicago Bears Season Circling the Drain After Loss to Packers

The turf at Soldier Field is among the … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears Season Circling the Drain After Loss to Packers

Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Building on a strong week

By

If we learned one thing about the NFL in week one: the lockout certainly did not slow down the offensive numbers.  A ridiculous 14 quarterbacks had more than 300 yards, four of which went over 400. 13 receivers topped 100 yards, including seven double-digit touchdown performances. Needless to say, fantasy teams weren’t suffering. Now it’s time to build on that success and … [Read more...] about Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Building on a strong week
