As we enter the fantasy football abyss, one of the two flickers of hope during the painful lull of the off-season, the free agency, gives us the annual panic of sifting through our dynasty teams and fine-combing each skill position transaction to figure out what this means for the upcoming fantasy season.

Frank Gore: One of the NFL’s most underrated players of all time – by Lawrence Vos
Week 11 of the 2019 season could see one particular player leapfrog another in the all-time regular-season rushing charts.

NFL Mock Draft – Round 1 by Joshua Deisinger
As we patiently wait for the free agent market to launch and stir up some buzz, we are just a couple months out from the NFL Draft.

DraftKings Cheat Sheet One Percenter Plays Golden Tate, Philadelphia Eagles @ New Orleans Saints – DraftKings: $5,500 More realistically, Tate could be anywhere from 5-10% owned but I feel this is a good spot to mention him as a big-time sleeper play this weekend while his stock is at rock bottom.
