Early-season risers, fallers
This is particularly true when we get down to some of the players ranked after the Top 100. Players ranked that low are typically inconsistent, streaky or unproven. That is why you’ll see a lot of fluctuation from week to week near the bottom of the rankings. With that in mind, let’s take a look […]

All we have left are a few extra pounds, a couple of fantasy football championships, our fantasy basketball teams and an overwhelming urge to enact positive change in our disappointing lives.

Continue readingWhy Joel Embiid belongs in the MVP discussion
