Detroit Lions: What if They Pulled Off the Ronnie Brown Trade?
The Detroit Lions attempted to address a major situation recently when they tried to bring in running back Ronnie Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles. It made sense for the team because Jahvid Best has recently suffered from concussion issues. Brown also could benefit from a change of scenery from the most disappointing start in the league this season. He certainly hasn’t … [Read more...] about Detroit Lions: What if They Pulled Off the Ronnie Brown Trade?

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
