Jared Goff at ARI He may already be viewed as a weekly starter, but I think Jared Goff has the potential to be the overall QB1 of Week 5. Despite the loss, Goff still threw for 412 yards and a TD, which managers should be encouraged about. Arizona is among the bottom in most fantasy points allowed as well as allowing a league high 9.1 yar

Silva had a closer fight with Wang Cong than she would've liked especially for a #8 contender but nonetheless she earned her title this weekend and now mov

On top of this being his first game back from a concussion, Tampa Bay’s defense has been good all year long, which explains Murray’s struggles. Murray faces the Dolphins this week, who are t

I did say that whoever wins this fight likely won’t get the jump up people expect, and I still believe that now, but Rosas Jr’s grit and improved striking definitely has him on the right path. I think a big challenge for Rosas Jr would be Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera. Chito is coming off a nice win of

I don't know how long that will be, maybe until the end of 2027 but when he does decide to come back, he should be fighting Kape next. Another boxer to throw d

This win doesn't move him up in my eyes, plus he has lost to the only top-ranked guy he has faced in Diego Lopes. This may be a hot take for some, but Silva hasn't accomplished more than what I thin
