Bregman's sole year in Boston was good and bad. Bregman only played 114 games thanks to a strained quad before the All Star Break but still had a productive season when healthy.

It was another great week of performances from players on the Waiver Wire last week. Rico Dowdle of the Carolina Panthers and Kendrick Bourne of the San Francisco 49ers are a couple of names on last week’s list that had great performances. They did so well that most people took them onto

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 5-1 Last Week: 30-19 Win vs SF Photo by Peter Joneleit/ Associated Press For the third week in a row we have a new #1 as the Buccaneers take the crown. Even without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Baker Mayfield is looking like the MVP of the league. With Todd Bowles taking care of the defense and Baker running the #6 offense, this team will be rolling and only getting better when they get healthy. ______________

With the NBA regular season set to tip off, it’s the perfect time to evaluate who the starting big is for all thirty teams. Formerly defined strictly by size and rim protection, today’s big men are as skilled as ever, so without a doubt, versatility comes largely into play when it comes to these rankings. From pure defensive anchors to floor-spacing shooters, every team relies on its starting center in a different way. Here we're predicting who will be the most effective whe

Credit to Clutch Points via clutchpoints.com After a stunning and breakthrough victory last week against the Buffalo Bills, the New England Patriots will look to keep the momentum going against the 1-4 New Orleans Saints. With optimism at an all-time high, it is games like this, in my eyes, that matter when a team is trying to become a legitimate playoff contender. So, with that being said, will the Pats get the job done at the Superdome? Let's talk about it. Injury Report Cr

But just as often, it’s the quieter moves—the under-the-radar pickups, the veterans brought in on short-term contracts—that end up making all the difference. While the big names draw all the attention, it’s these underrated additions that can raise a team’s ceiling and shift the balance of a season. We’re already seeing signs of that in th

Even with the loss in Week 5, Stafford shined for his fantasy managers, throwing for 389 yards and 3 TDs. He did have a lost fumble, but that should not take away from his fantastic form lately. Stafford is a must-start against a Ravens team that allows the 2nd most points per game
