Hi, today I thought with the playoffs coming, I would write a post about which teams I think will be fighting for the Super Bowl in the 2nd most important games of the year. Some quick crazy news that future hall of fame Colts player Robert Mathis announces retirement after the last game of the season. Here it is:
AFC CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTION:
Pittsburgh Steelers @ New England Patriots:
The Pats and Steelers are going to be on a course to play each other. The Steelers will likely take on the shoe in Dolphins in Pittsburgh for their wildcard game which should be an easy win for them. They would then go on the road to play either the Raiders or the Chiefs but most likely the Chiefs who will probably steal the 2nd BYE spot from the Raiders who now having their starting QB a undrafted backup who can't probably win many games. The Chiefs are good and even though they are at home, they aren't good enough to beat one of the scariest teams in the league. The Steelers would then advance to the AFC championship game to play the Patriots who would only have to win 1 game vs. either the trash Texans who took an easy division down or yet again the Raiders with a backup QB in New England. They should easily win and play the Steelers in the AFC Championship. The Steelers have an insane offense. The best RB in the league Le'Veon Bell, the best receiver in the league Antonio Brown, and one of the best QB's in the league Ben Roethlisberger who is experienced in the post-season. Their D is good enough. The Patriots have maybe the best offense in the league if its not the Steelers O or Falcons O. They have the best QB ever Tom Brady, a great running back in LeGarrette Blount. They have decent receivers with Julian Edleman, Malcom Mitchell, and Chris Hogan and a top 5 tight end in Martellus Bennett. Their D is also good enough. It will be a battle of offenses but it will be truly hard for the Steelers to come in to New England and beat a great offense and a better D then what they have. This will be a fun game to watch and a close one but the Pats will go back to the Super Bowl. PREDICTED SCORE: Patriots 35, Steelers 28!
NFC CHAMPIONSHIP PREDICTION: (ITS SURPRISING :) )
Green Bay Packers @ Seattle Seahawks:
Most people are shaking their heads saying where are the Cowboys and Falcons. No way! Both of these teams will start out wildcard teams but 1 will actually end up being in the Super Bowl. The Seahawks will start out in 3rd seed and play either the Redskins or the Lions but I think its more likely the Redskins. At home vs. a trash shoe in playoff team, the Seahawks will easily win. They will then travel to Atlanta which will be really hard. The Falcons though don't have a huge home field advantage because its not super loud or super cold so the Seahawks will be able to beat the Falcons who they beat earlier this season and make it back to the NFC championship. The Packers I think will start 4th seed and play the Giants at home. The homefield advantage is what will give the win because if it were in New York, the Giants would win but in the cold green bay, the Packers will take down the Giants star powered team. The Packers would then advance to what may be the game of the year in Dallas. With 2 high powered offenses playing and 2 bad defenses playing, the Packers could pull off the win I think and advance in the NFC championship leaving the Cowboys stunned. Then the teams would take on each other. The Seahawks have a good offense with Russell Wilson, Thomas Rawls, Doug Baldwin, and Jimmy Graham. The Packers have the best QB this season, Aaron Rodgers has been on fire lately and will continue using Jordy Nelson as a huge weapon. The Seahawks have a huge edge over the Packers D which is decent but killed Russell Wilson earlier this season. At home though, the Packers won't have enough to be able to sink the Seahawks who have won all but 1 game at home this season including the Falcons who they beat at home. It could easily go to Green Bay, but the Seahawks and Patriots will rematch in the Super Bowl. PREDICTED SCORE: Seahawks 24, Packers 21 OVERTIME!

What is the Future of the Bills
Hi, after some crazy things, the future in Buffalo is up in the air and I'm here to tell you about what happened and what I think about the situation.
Buffalo Bills:
Earlier today, it was released that the Bills have fired Coach Rex Ryan. After a few bad seasons. Currently the Bills sit at 7-8, under an .500 record and after being eliminated from playoff contention last week the Bills had had it with coach Rex Ryan. Now lots of changes will start happening in Buffalo being this off-season. The Bills will be looking for a new head coach to make things right on a decent Buffalo team that could make the playoffs with a little help. The first thing that needs to happen is that the Bills team assures QB Tyrod Taylor that he is their starter and will continue to be next season. Rumors have been spreading that Taylor will lose his job after the season due to a bad season but this is lame. Taylor has actually been having an amazing season that has been shadowed by bad coaching and a terrible record. Taylor has one of the worst receiving cores in the league and he has gone with it and made himself a top QB. So what if the Bills don't believe in him though. Lets say they cut him, Taylor will immediately be signed by a QB hungry team looking for their future QB. Taylor is a young, mobile QB who is also a great passer and leader and should continue to start for the Bills. The next thing the Bills need to do is find their new coach. When the season is over they will try to lure a coordinator to their head coaching role. I think this is a possible thing and it would be interesting too if the Bills try to get Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. This would be fun to see the Bills take their division rivals' coordinator who leads legendary Tom Brady. He would be a great coach that could really help Tyrod Taylor develop into an elite QB like I think he will be in a few years. Another thing the Bills need to do is draft a receiver for Taylor to have. Sammy Watkins is up and down and this off-season the Bills lost WR Chris Hogan which also hurt them. They will have a mid-first round pick where they can take the best receiver in college football, speedster Washington receiver John Ross. The Bills also have one of the best running backs in the league in LeSean McCoy and they need to keep doing what their doing with him because its good. The defense has been up and down this season but they have star young corners in Stephon Gillmore and Ronald Darby. Star defender Reggie Ragland will also be back from a season ending injury and so we'll see how he does in his second year even though he hasn't played yet. Also star first round pick Shaq Lawson hasn't played yet either with a season ending injury and it will be fun to see the new young defenders help the Bills budding defense. New coach, new receivers, keeping Tyrod Taylor the starter, and having their defenders back will help the Bills have a good future and maybe make the playoffs next season. I have learned some news as of now that Taylor is expected to be benched for E.J. Manuel this final week of the year. Hopefully Taylor gets his job back with a new coach this off-season.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. I will have a post up soon about who to start in your final week of fantasy football because some big names on playoff locked teams will be sitting on the bench so they don't get hurt in a meaningless game and you don't want to play them in what could be the most important week in fantasy football! Thanks for reading once again! :)

A Rising Star: Tyreek Hill
Hi, I know I should be posting about the week, but I have been really interested in the Chiefs rookie speedster receiver Tyreek Hill and today I thought I would post about him. Some other news that this happens to be my 200th post so yay! Here it is:
Tyreek Hill was drafted in the 5th round of the draft, no one thought he would be more than a backup. He had issues with domestic violence which hit his draft stock so he would go a lot lower than he would have. The Chiefs believed in the young speedster and it turned out to pay off. Hill has lead the Chiefs offense as a rookie and gave the Chiefs a prime playoff spot that will maybe end up a first round BYE, Hill has really helped the Chiefs. Lets take a look at Hill's stats thus far into the season. He currently has 6 receiving TD's and 56 receptions for 547 yards. He also is a big runner. He has 227 rushing yards with a good 3 TD's. He also has 1 kickoff return TD and 1 punt return TD. He has 11 total TD's this year as a 5th round rookie pick is really good. Hill really worked his way into the Chiefs roster. He started out randomly rotating in on plays and in week 1 he did just that and had 1 catch for 6 yards but a TD. He was familiar with the endzone from day 1. In week 3, Hill had 3 catches for 26 yards which was something. Hill didn't seem like anything special, but as the year goes on, Hill gets better and better. Week 4 he had 5 catches for 24 yards and a TD. He was back in the endzone! Over the next few weeks, Hill became known getting lots of yards and a few TD's but week 12 vs the Denver Broncos was something special. Hill scored a kickoff return TD, a rushing TD, and a receiving TD, leading the Chiefs to the important OT win. Hill gave the Chiefs a future WR1 who can make great plays. Week after week, Hill kept burning defenses. In week 14, 2 weeks after his huge game against the Broncos, Hill had yet another great game game. 6 receptions for 66 yards and a TD. I mean 50+ Yards and a TD is pretty good. Since the week 12 matchup Vs. Denver everyone knew Tyreek Hill was for real. Hill was playing at an all-star level and has been explosive since. If you thought that was all, you're wrong. The next week after their win against the Raiders, Hill exploded out of the backfield for a 68 yard TD to give the Chiefs an early lead over the Titans who they ended up losing to in the end. Last night, Tyreek Hill and the Chiefs took on the Broncos once again who Hill exposed with 3 TD's like I said earlier. Hill lit them up again but not as well as he did last time. He had 1 rush for a 70 yard TD and then 5 more carries for 25 more yards and gave the Chiefs a TD in their big win to eliminate last seasons super bowl champs from playoff contention. The Chiefs will take on the Chargers week 17 and with them playing against the one team that Browns beat, I think Hill will light them up in the Chiefs maybe easiest match-up of the year. With that game probably an easy win, the Raiders will probably lose a road game to the Broncos where backup QB Matt McGloin will have to fare against the best D in the league. If the Chiefs win and the Raiders lose the Chiefs will steal the first round BYE. I think Tyreek Hill will countinue to help the Chiefs win games by running past everyone and he will be a key memeber of a Chiefs teamt that could possibly take it all the way to the Super Bowl. Look out for Hill because he is a rookie of the year contender and will be a force in the near future.

The Best Player on Every NFL Team
Hi, today I am going to make a post about which is the best player on every NFL team for fun. Even if this player is currently injured they can still be named the best player on the team. Here it is:
Bills: LeSean McCoy, RB-McCoy is the best playmaker on a decent team and is a top 5 RB
Dolphins: Jay Ajayi, RB-On a pretty bad team, Ajayi keeps having 200 yard games to push the Fins to the post-season
Patriots: Tom Brady-Do I need to explain this one? He is the best player in NFL history.
Jets: Muhammad Wilkerson, DE- Wilkerson provides great pressure to QB's and is probably a top 3 DE in the league.
Ravens: Joe Flacco, QB-The Ravens are a good team, but they don't have any huge stars, so you've got to go with the decent QB that leads his team to the playoffs most seasons.
Bengals: A.J. Green, WR-A top 5 receiver that provides the Bengals with a great target, why else?
Browns: Joe Thomas, OT-All I have to say is that Joe Thomas is the best O-lineman in the league.

Texans: J.J. Watt, DE-The best defensive player in the league and a future hall of famer. Easy #1!
Colts: Andrew Luck, QB-The top 5 QB leads the Colts week after week to great wins and may be a hall of famer some day.

Titans: DeMarco Murray, RB-Murray has had a comeback season to lead the Titans' offense to a season just short of the playoffs.
Broncos: Von Miller, LB-Probably the 2nd best defensive player in the league behind J.J. Watt, with Watt hurt this season, the former super bowl MVP will likely win Defensive Player of the Year.
Chiefs: Eric Berry, S: Berry is the best defensive player on an amazing defense, he has had many amazing pick 6's this season, he is such a great defensive leader for this Chiefs team.
Raiders: Derek Carr, QB-He has lead his team to their first playoff berth in years and someday he will be the best QB in the league.
Chargers: Melvin Gordon, RB-Gordon has emerged as a top RB this season after his fluke rookie year. Gordon is a great runner who finds the end zone many times.
Cowboys: Travis Fredrick, C- The best center in the league along with his fellow O-lineman allows Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott to dominate.
Giants: Odell Beckham Jr., WR-Easily the best player on the Giants racks up so many yards and TD's so the Giants can finally make the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
Eagles: Fletcher Cox, DT-Maybe the best defensive tackle in the league, Cox leads the Eagles D
Redskins: Josh Norman, CB-No question the best player on the team, Norman may be the best corner in football, he was last year

Panthers: Cam Newton, QB-Last years MVP is still one of the best QB's in the league and the best player on the Panthers

Crazy Things go Down in Week 16!
Hi, there are still a handful of games left this week, but a lot of crazy stuff happened yesterday that will be super important going on. Here is everything that went down yesterday:
CLEVELAND BROWNS:
The Browns hopes keep being dashed, loss after loss the Browns were headed for an 0-16 season when a miracle happened. The BROWNS ACTUALLY WON! A game people thought the Chargers had in the bag was a complete upset. The Browns offense and defense played pretty well, lead by QB Robert Griffin III who was playing great before he went down with a concussion and was out the rest of the game. The Browns were up 20-17 with not much time remaining and the Chargers had a 4th down close enough to make a field goal. Kicker Josh Lambo kicked it, and it was blocked, leading the Browns to their first win of the season. The Browns were so excited to have just 1 win but it knocked them out of position for the first overall draft pick because the 49ers had a harder schedule breaking the tie, but then the 49ers actually won too for the first time since week 1 where they beat the Rams again. 1-14 and the Browns are satisfied!
OAKLAND RAIDERS and TENNESSEE TITANS:
The Raiders had a great win that kept their BYE alive in the AFC but they feel like they lost their whole season. With a big lead, QB Derek Carr dropped back on a 2nd and 20 play and was sacked by Trent Cole. It didn't seem like a big deal until Carr motioned for sideline assistance, Carr then lay on the ground screaming and it did not look good. Carr was carted off the field with a sad look on his face. Backup QB Matt McGloin finished off the game and after the game, Coach Jack Del Rio announced Carr would be out indefiently with a broken fibula. The Raiders may be in position for a BYE, but they will probably be out on their first match-up in the playoffs. Meanwhile in Tennessee, the Titans were dealt a surprise upset from the Jaguars that eliminated them from playoff contention. Another big loss for the Titans, was that QB Marcus Mariota also broke his fibula and will also be out for the season. 2 big QB losses lead to 2 bad playoff situations.
MIAMI DOLPHINS and SEATTLE SEAHAWKS:
2 field goals set up different playoff situations with these teams. The Dolphins were playing the Bills in a close game. The Bills scored with barely any time left to get a small lead and then the Dolphins went clutch and kicked a field goal to tie the game and put it into overtime. Overtime went on scoreless for a long time but finally the Dolphins kicked a field goal to win in overtime and almost guarantee a playoff spot for the Dolphins. The Seahawks had a home game vs. the terrible Arizona Cardinals. Everyone knew the Hawks had this one in the bag but the Cardinals started with a 14-0 lead where the Seahawks even had 2 goal line drives that both resulted with no TD's. Tyler Lockett broke his leg and is out for the season which is a big loss for the Seahawks. As the game went on, the Hawks stepped up and played very well and by the end of the game with barely any time left the Seahawks scored a TD to tie the game but Steven Hauskcha flashed back to his terrible game vs. the Cardinals earlier on and missed the extra point that could have won the game. Then with under a minute the Cards drove and other kicker who was bad earlier this year Chandler Catanzaro had a chance for the win with a huge field goal and MADE IT FOR THE UPSET WIN. This screwed the Seahawks in the playoff picture losing their BYE to the Falcons and moving to 4th seed. If the Seahawks next week which they most likely will vs. the 2 win 49ers and the Falcons some how lose a home game vs. the Saints, then they will get their BYE back, otherwise they will likely be stuck at 3rd seed and will likely play the Lions in Seattle in the first round if the games play out like they probably will. Seattle would then probably win vs. Detroit AT HOME! Then they would have to travel TO ATLANTA to face the tough Falcons that stole their spot and see if they can get their rightful spot back and prevail to the NFC championship.
Some other crazy things happened this week and I will explain more in an upcoming post but those were the craziest things.

2 Games to Look Foward to in the Last Weeks of the Season
Hi, today I'm posting about 2 match-ups to look foward to watching in the last 2 weeks of the NFL season before the playoffs begin. These 2 match-ups are playoff defining for the four teams that will be playing in these games. Both these games sadly aren't this week, they are next week. Here is some quick news that Eagles RB Ryan Matthews got injured last night and will be out for the last week of the season so that was last you saw of him until next season. Here it is:
Titans @ Texans:
This will be a great game. This game will be for the playoff spot no matter what happens this week. If they both win, both lose, or one wins and one loses this week it doesn't matter because this game will decide which one of the teams wins the division and makes the playoffs. I am sort of a Titans fan so I hope they can pull it off but it will be a very close even matched match-up. The fun part is that the Titans have a great offense and the Texans have a great defense so that will be a fun match-up and then the Texans offense and the Titans defense are both decent so we will see how that goes down. Also, after this weeks game vs the Bengals, will Tom Savage remain the starting QB or will the Texans go back to former starter Brock Osweiler. It will be fun to see. DeMarco Murray, Marcus Mariota, and Delanie Walker have been on fire on this offense lately while Derrick Henry has been breaking out some weeks and we will see if he shows up. Tom Savage looked like a pretty good QB and so I don't know if he will play badly and he is targeting star receiver DeAndre Hopkins more which is good for the Texans because Brock Osweiler didn't target him enough. Lamar Miller is always a great RB and should be the same this week and maybe have a TD or 2. It will also be fun to watch pro bowl LB Jadeveon Clowney again and see if he can sack Marcus Mariota alot and get through the Titans great O-line. This will be a fun showdown with the atmosphere of a playoff game and we will see which teams comes out on top for the division win and the playoff berth. I am picking the Titans to win this one even though it is in Houston.
Packers @ Lions:
This is another playoff important match-up for the division. If the Packers lose and the Lions win this week, the Lions will win the division no matter what so if they can some how beat the Cowboys and the Packers lose to Minnesota, this game won't matter, but that is unlikely. This game will be a very close one and even though I am a Seahawks fan and hate the Green Bay Packers, I think they have a real chance at claiming the division that has been the Lions' all season. Both defenses are medicore but lately the Packers D has been decent so they have the defensive edge but the Lions do have Ziggy Ansah on the defensive line and he dominates all the time. Both the offenses will be the things to watch. They both have starpowered offenses. Starting with the Packers, Aaron Rodgers looks like the best QB in the NFL, tossing touchdown after touchdown to star receiver Jordy Nelson and breakout Davante Adams along with the Packers pair of tight ends Jared Cook and Richard Rodgers. Then theres Ty Montgomery who last week ripped off an insane game scoring multiple TD's and lots of yards and sometimes he even plays receiver. Christine Michael the backup RB is very dangerous and had one big TD run last week when he was on the field similar to what he did when he was with the Seahawks. The Lions offense is almost as good. MVP candidate Matthew Stafford is an insane clutch player, the Lions have 8 4th quarter comebacks this season lead by Matthew Stafford which is an NFL record. Receivers Marvin Jones and Golden Tate are sometimes really good and sometimes really bad along with their weird running backs where they have random guys in as running backs like Dwayne Washington or Zach Zenner 2 running backs no one really knows about. Matthew Stafford literally trucks people when he runs to try and get extra yardage which is something I've never seen a QB do, especially a QB that doesn't really specialize in rushing. Stafford is one of the best QB's I've ever seen. This will be another straight up divsional battle and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Even though I really want the Lions to win because I don't like the Packers, I think that the Pack can pull off the upset in Detroit meaning that the Lions might even miss the playoffs after the season they've had. Sorry Lions fans but you will have to wait another year until the Lions make the playoffs.
Thanks for reading and I hope you watch these games because they will be really fun to watch.
Titans @ Texans:
This will be a great game. This game will be for the playoff spot no matter what happens this week. If they both win, both lose, or one wins and one loses this week it doesn't matter because this game will decide which one of the teams wins the division and makes the playoffs. I am sort of a Titans fan so I hope they can pull it off but it will be a very close even matched match-up. The fun part is that the Titans have a great offense and the Texans have a great defense so that will be a fun match-up and then the Texans offense and the Titans defense are both decent so we will see how that goes down. Also, after this weeks game vs the Bengals, will Tom Savage remain the starting QB or will the Texans go back to former starter Brock Osweiler. It will be fun to see. DeMarco Murray, Marcus Mariota, and Delanie Walker have been on fire on this offense lately while Derrick Henry has been breaking out some weeks and we will see if he shows up. Tom Savage looked like a pretty good QB and so I don't know if he will play badly and he is targeting star receiver DeAndre Hopkins more which is good for the Texans because Brock Osweiler didn't target him enough. Lamar Miller is always a great RB and should be the same this week and maybe have a TD or 2. It will also be fun to watch pro bowl LB Jadeveon Clowney again and see if he can sack Marcus Mariota alot and get through the Titans great O-line.

Teams who will probably have New QB's next season
Hi, today I am going to talk about which teams I think are going to have new starting QB's next season. I will also then talk about QB's who may be open in free-agency or trade. Here is some quick news that last night on Thursday Night Football the Eagles upset the Giants with a 24-19 win that makes the Cowboys clinch the no. 1 seed in the NFC. Here it is:
Texans:
At the end of last season, when the Broncos won the Super Bowl and Peyton Manning retired, the Broncos weren't worried. They had backup QB Brock Osweiler who they had been preparing to be their QB of the future and sign him to a big deal this off-season but when free-agency rolled around, the Texans snatched Osweiler up to a huge 72 million dollar deal to leave the Broncos with pretty much no one. The Texans were ready for their QB of the future but Osweiler has been TERRIBLE. He has thrown more interceptions than touchdowns with only 14 TD's and 16 picks. He has only thrown 2700 yards this season and finally the Texans came to their senses last week and mid-game trailing by 2+ scores they put in backup QB Tom Savage who ended up taking the starting job for the next few weeks by leading the Texans to a comeback win with 200+ passing yards, no TD's but no picks. The Texans did just give Osweiler that huge deal, but he really won't do and if the Texans want to become a great team, they need a great QB to do it and they may wind up with a new one next season.
Browns:
The Browns always need a QB. For the last 20 years they have been terrible, not making the playoffs and winding up with a top pick, but this season is their worst by far, right now they are 0-14, they haven't won a single game!! Their QB situation makes this possible. Robert Griffin III (RGIII) was named starter week 1 and got injured then leading the Browns to use a few different QB's for the rest of the season. Veteran Josh McCown, rookies Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan, and at one point even former QB, WR Terrelle Pyror took snaps at QB. RGIII is finally back but he hasn't won the Browns a game yet in the 2 weeks he has been back, but he has certainly looked like the best QB on the team and will probably end out the season being a starter. The Browns will likely have the first pick in the draft and they could easily get the best QB coming out of college Mitch Trubisky and look for a bright future with him or they could sign someone and hope they are great.
Jets:
The Jets are a mess. Outbreak QB Ryan Fitzpatrick was a great QB last season, leading the Jets one game short of the playoffs with a 10-6 record but then he went out in free-agency and wanted a big deal from the Jets and it took all the way until the pre-season, but the Jets gave him a big, one year deal. Then Fitzpatrick played terribly. He has thrown only 10 TD's and 15 picks which is 5 more than TD's! Thats garbage. He had one game where he threw 6 interceptions!! What?? I know... The Jets eventually benched him for Geno Smith who in the same game got a season ending injury. Fitzpatrick came back and kept playing trash. Weeks later the Colts were blowing them out so Fitzpatrick got benched for second year QB Bryce Petty who played great, then vs. the Dolphins Petty got hurt so Fitz was back and played terrible and now the Jets are thinking about starting rookie Christian Hackenberg which would be trouble for them. The Jets will need a new QB this off-season and they could look for one in the draft with a high pick or a free agent.
Bears:
The Bears are done with Jay Cutler. At the start of the season, old Jay Cutler was the starter, then he went down with an injury. Backup QB Brian Hoyer who was the Texans QB last season started and played great, the Bears thought about keeping him the starter when he went down with a season ending injury. Cutler came back and played great football and was looking decent again when he went down with another injury, season ending this time. Matt Barkley the 3rd string came in and has been playing decently leading the Bears to close losses, especially their 3 point loss to the Packers. He is looking like a good QB but they want their QB of the future and they can get him with a high pick they will have in the draft.
Other teams who may need QB's next season: Rams, Bills, Patriots, Broncos, Cardinals, 49ers, more...
OPTIONS:
Patriots QB Jimmy Garapollo:
Garapollo was the starter for 2 games of the 4 game suspension Tom Brady had and he went 2-0 in those starts, playing great football before he went down with an injury that put him back after Brady came back. Still, Garapollo looked good enough to be a starter someday soon, especially that his deal runs out this season and if the Patriots are stupid and don't re-sign him right away, he will get snatched by a QB hungry team. He threw for 496 yards and 4 TD's in those 1 and a half games he played with NO INTERCEPTIONS! He had a great start and a team will want him this season where he could become instantly the starter unless the Patriots re-sign him so they have options when Tom Brady retires.
Cowboys QB Tony Romo:
This is the one everyone is excited about, Romo was a top QB and he still probably would be if he didn't get hurt a lot. Romo was set to be the starter this season in Dallas but then he got injured in the pre-season and it lead to the rising of rookie QB Dak Prescott who has played out of his mind leading the Cowboys to the no. 1 playoff seed as a rookie and he is an MVP candidate. Romo will be looking for a job this off-season and the Cowboys probably want to get rid of him and his huge cap hit. He will probably be a starter for his last few seasons somewhere else.
Redskins QB Kirk Cousins:
Cousins had a decent season last season but this season he has been playing amazingly and he has given the Redskins a chance in their amazing division. He is an amazing QB and if the Redskins don't have enough to give him the big-deal he wants he will be looking to go to another team and the Redskins will be left with nothing. Cousins is a great QB and any team would want the young QB who can throw perfect deep balls.
College QB Mitch Trubisky:
Trubisky has a great skillset in college and he will likely be the first QB out of college in the draft this off-season. He will probably be the first overall pick if it is a QB needy team like the Browns.
College QB DeShone Kizer:
Kizer is probably going to be the 2nd QB out of college and he did have a down-season this college season but he is a good enough QB to be a top 5 pick and a future franchise QB for an NFL team.
College QB DeShaun Watson:
Watson in my opinion is the best QB coming out of college but the scouts think Trubisky is. Watson is a good passer and a good runner and was the runner up Heisman.
Other good options: Bears QB Matt Barkley, Bears QB Brian Hoyer, more.
Thanks for reading!

At the end of last season, when the Broncos won the Super Bowl and Peyton Manning retired, the Broncos weren't worried.

Who I think will end up in the Playoffs!
Hi, with the season winding down and 2 weeks left, the playoff picture is almost set, and looking at who I think will win and lose, this is what I think the playoffs will look like, I hope your favorite team makes it. Here it is:
NFC:
1st Seed Prediction: Dallas Cowboys, Predicted Record: 14-2:
The Cowboys will win out with a home game against the Lions which will be hard, but if they play like usual, they will win and then an easy game vs. the Eagles which won't be trouble for them to win out and take the number 1 seed in the NFC with their amazing offense and decent defense. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will keep on rolling to keep this team going in the playoffs.
2nd Seed Prediction: Seattle Seahawks, Predicted Record: 11-4-1:
The Seahawks have been a force all season and I would be surprised if they lost to the Cardinals at home or the 1 win 49ers in San Fransisco. The Hawks should be locked up for a first round bye and already clinched a playoff spot and so if they win out, they will stay in their BYE spot. The offense is playing great but the D will have to recover from losing Earl Thomas and have to learn to get Steven Terrell involved the way Earl Thomas would.
3rd Seed Predicition: Atlanta Falcons, Predicted Record: 11-5:
The Falcons don't have a super tough schedule ending the year, playing the Panthers in Carolina could be trouble, but the Saints at home should be easy money for the surging Falcons. Their offense will need to be on top of its game because their D CANNOT do much to help and they need to work on their D next season if they ever want to win a Super Bowl.
4th Seed Prediction: Green Bay Packers, Predicted Record: 10-6:
I am predicted the Packers to win out and finally steal the division from the Lions which some people think won't happen, but I think it will. The Packers can probably win this week vs. Minnesota at home and if they don't, they're in trouble, if they do like they should though, they will have to pull off a bit of an upset in Detroit to take the division. I think they can do it though by the way Aaron Rodgers and the Packers D has been playing lately.
5th Seed Prediction: New York Giants, Predicted Record: 12-4:
The Giants offense has been great lately, but what is surprising to most people, is that what has been carrying them lately is their Super Bowl defense. Since earlier this season, players on the Giants have started calling their great D a super bowl defense. Janoris Jenkins, Landon Collins, and Olivier Vernon have lead this overpowered defensive attack while Odell Beckham is back to himself having great game after great game. The Giants are going to have a great playoff run I can tell and if they can pull off a few upsets, they could be the next Super Bowl champs.
6th Seed Prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Predicted Record: 10-6:
The Bucs have been on a run lately and I think they will end up winning out and barely making the playoffs with the NFC 6th seed. I think the Bucs won't go far in the playoffs because their strength is being at home, and being 6th seed means you won't have 1 home game in the playoffs so it could be tough for the Bucs but they could pull off upsets like they've been doing all year. Their D has all of the sudden became one of the top defenses in the league and Jameis Winston is a pro QB now that knows what to do under pressure, you saw the Bucs almost beat the insane Cowboys last week, they can pull off upsets.
AFC:
1st Seed Prediction: New England Patriots, Predicted Record: 14-2:
The Patriots cannot be stopped. Take away Tom Brady's best target and he takes the next man up (Malcom Mitchell) and turns him into a great receiver. The Pats can easily win the Super Bowl yet again with their superstar offense and their decent D that has always done what they needed it to the last few seasons.
2nd Seed Prediction: Oakland Raiders, Predicted Record: 13-3:
The Raiders will win out. Their schedule is not super tough. Beating the Colts at home won't be hard and then the faltering Broncos in Denver won't be too tough. The Raiders have such a great young offense lead by MVP candidate Derek Carr and 2 great young receivers in Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. Running back Latavius Murray has proved to be a great young running back will totally help them in the playoffs because he racks up a lot of yards every game. Their defense has a lot of superstar players that can get it done. Defensive player of the year candidate Khalil Mack leads their D attack helped by their great young corners and safeties and LB Bruce Irvin. The Raiders may be a super bowl team.
3rd Seed Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers, Predicted Record: 11-5:
The Steelers didn't look great earlier this season, and they don't look perfect now, but they will easily win this division because the Ravens don't have enough to beat them out. Their overpowered offense has been lead by running back Le'Veon Bell who would have been an MVP candidate if he hadn't been suspended the first 3 games. Big Ben and Antonio Brown have been a great duo lately and LaDarius Green looks like a great target at tight end. The D is becoming top tier and I would be very surprised if the Steelers didn't make a deep playoff push.
4th Seed Prediction: Tennessee Titans, Predicted Record: 10-6:
The Titans I think deserve a playoff season. They have been the best team in their division by far this season and if the garbage Texans end up winning the division, it would be a sad thing after the Titans amazing season. The Texans and Titans will both probably win pretty easy match-ups in week 16 but in week 17, the Titans come to Houston to play for the division and the winner with end up with this 4th seed. The Titans star offense lead by future top QB Marcus Mariota and maybe comeback player of the year DeMarco Murray. Delanie Walker is old, but he is still a top tight end and Rishard Matthews looks like a great target. The defense is enough to win games and the Titans could go deep in the playoffs if they make it which I am confident they will.
5th Seed Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs, Predicted Record: 12-4:
It seems funny that a team with such a big record, would be 5th or 6th seed. The Chiefs will make the playoffs for sure unless of course they lose out which would probably not happen. The Chiefs have an amazing offense lead by surprise breakout rookie triple threat Tyreek Hill who gets a touchdown almost everytime he touches the ball. Alex Smith is becoming a great franchise QB and Spencer Ware is a great replacement for Jamaal Charles. The defense is even better than the O. Marcus Peters is one of the best CB's in football in only his second year. Eric Berry is also a top safety and he is playing like it. Their D is insane and even though they won't be a division winner, they could easily beat any team in the wildcard round and then make a deep push to the Super Bowl like they did last season.
6th Seed Prediction: Miami Dolphins, Predicted Record: 10-6:
The Dolphins are a great team, and I think they will finally make the playoffs and compete with the Patriots in their division, next season they might even be able to win the division if they have a strong start. The Dolphins can put together an upset and make it to the next round of the playoffs and maybe even duel with the Patriots down the playoff stretch. Ryan Tannehill is becoming a good QB and Matt Moore is a great re-placement, leading the 'Fins to a blowout game Vs. the Jets last week. Jay Ajayi is a GREAT running back, top 5 in my mind. Jarvis Landry and breakout tight end Dion Sims have been great targets and the Dolphins D has broken out starting with CB Byron Maxwell's breakout season. Ndamukong Suh is always a great defender and same with Mario Williams. The Dolphins have a great team and they can make a deep playoff push.
Thanks for reading!
NFC:
1st Seed Prediction: Dallas Cowboys, Predicted Record: 14-2:
The Cowboys will win out with a home game against the Lions which will be hard, but if they play like usual, they will win and then an easy game vs. the Eagles which won't be trouble for them to win out and take the number 1 seed in the NFC with their amazing offense and decent defense.

The Titans star offense lead by future top QB Marcus Mariota and maybe comeback player of the year DeMarco Murray. Delanie Walker is old, but he is still a top tight end and Rishard Matthews looks like a great target. The defense is enough to win games and the Titans could go deep in the playoffs if they make it which I am confident they will.
5th Seed Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs, Predicted Record: 12-4:
It seems funny that a team with such a big record, would be 5th or 6th seed. The Chiefs will make the playoffs for sure unless of course they lose out which would probably not happen. The Chiefs have an amazing offense lead by surprise breakout rookie triple threat Tyreek Hill who gets a touchdown almost everytime he touches the ball. Alex Smith is becoming a great franchise QB and Spencer Ware is a great replacement for Jamaal Charles. The defense is even better than the O. Marcus Peters is one of the best CB's in football in only his second year. Eric Berry is also a top safety and he is playing like it. Their D is insane and even though they won't be a division winner, they could easily beat any team in the wildcard round and then make a deep push to the Super Bowl like they did last season.
6th Seed Prediction: Miami Dolphins, Predicted Record: 10-6:
The Dolphins are a great team, and I think they will finally make the playoffs and compete with the Patriots in their division, next season they might even be able to win the division if they have a strong start. The Dolphins can put together an upset and make it to the next round of the playoffs and maybe even duel with the Patriots down the playoff stretch. Ryan Tannehill is becoming a good QB and Matt Moore is a great re-placement, leading the 'Fins to a blowout game Vs. the Jets last week. Jay Ajayi is a GREAT running back, top 5 in my mind. Jarvis Landry and breakout tight end Dion Sims have been great targets and the Dolphins D has broken out starting with CB Byron Maxwell's breakout season. Ndamukong Suh is always a great defender and same with Mario Williams. The Dolphins have a great team and they can make a deep playoff push.

Top MVP Candidates
Hi, with the season almost over and the playoffs about to begin, I will be writing a MVP race post so you can see where were at in my opinion in the MVP race. Mid-way through the season I made a MVP post and so next to the names of the players on the list I will say how many spots they moved up or down and it will say N/A if they weren't on the list earlier this year. Here it is:
Top Bet:
1. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots: +9
Brady has been a great QB this year, and could win his 3rd MVP. After his 4 game suspension was up, Brady stepped in and has won every game since except for one where he still played very well. Everyone thinks Brady will win it again this year, and its looking good. He has thrown 22 TD's and only 2 interceptions. Thats pretty good and he has lead the Patriots TO ANOTHER PLAYOFF!
Top 3:
2. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys: +5
Zeke is having a historic season. As a rookie, he leads the league in rushing over some of the leagues top running backs and he's still a rookie. Zeke will be a force for years to come behind the best O-line in football. Since Brady is a QB thats having a great season, it pretty much trumps a running back with a great season, but if I could choose who won MVP, Zeke would be my pick. He will be in the top 3 for MVP votes and hopefully pull off the win after his insane rookie season. He has 1551 yards and there are still 2 weeks left, he could have 2 huge rushing games and possibly break 2000 along with a crazy amount of TD's with 13. Zeke is having quite a rookie season.
3. Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons: -2
After a few decent seasons, Ryan has really stepped up this year to lead the Falcons to the playoffs and give him self an MVP candidate season. He has thrown 32 TD's to only 7 interceptions, thats a great ratio. Sure he has 5 more interceptions than Brady, but he has 10 more TD's plus the suspension gave Brady 4 less games to throw picks. The Falcons have finally won out the division over the Panthers because of Ryan's rising. He will be a top bet to win MVP.
ELITE PERFORMERS:
4. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys: +5
After a surprising turn of events where Tony Romo went down in the pre-season, Dak Prescott got the starting job and since, has lead the Cowboys to a 12-2 record and took the starting job when Romo was healthy. The Cowboys rookies have been insane this season and Dak will maybe someday be the best QB in the league when QB's like Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers aren't around anymore. Dak has thrown 3,400 yards with 20 TD's and only 4 interceptions. He has also ran for 6 TD's which is pretty great too. This is great for a rookie and the way he has been playing has been so awesome and he is another top bet in peoples minds for MVP.
5. Derek Carr, QB, Raiders: N/A
Carr has always been a pretty good young QB, but who knew that this would be the year he became an elite QB? Carr has lead the Raiders to their first playoff berth in many years and the Raiders may finally win their division. Carr has been a great QB to Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper, 2 of the leagues best receivers who are hungry for receptions. Carr has thrown 3700 yards for 25 TD's and only 6 interceptions. A lot of people want to see Carr win MVP and its very possible.
6. Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions: -4
The Lions finally may take down the Packers for the division title for the first time in years. Its always the Packers or the Vikings who win it, but this year it looks like the Lions will win the division with a 1 game lead on the Packers. Stafford has been great all season and he is becoming an elite QB finally like everyone thought he would be some day. He has thrown for 3700 yards and 22 TD's with only 8 interceptions. Stafford has also been a great mobile QB, trucking players for TD's which you normally don't see QB's do. This list is owned with great QB's and Stafford is finally better than QB's like Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson this year.
OTHER NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
7. Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers: N/A
After the Packers had a bad start to the season, Aaron Rodgers really turned it around and started leading his team to what may be a playoff berth. Rodgers turned Jordy Nelson back into his old star form and Davante Adams is becoming a top receiver because of Rodgers. His 32 TD's and only 7 interceptions is a really great number and if he is phenominal through the last weeks and wins out, he could seriously have a chance at MVP.
8. DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans: -4
Murray has been super good throughout the year and deserves some recognition for the comeback season he is having. The Titans still could possibly make the playoffs and Murray could put the team on his back and maybe do it if the Titans win out, they will make the playoffs. Murray has racked up 1224 yards and 9 touchdowns which is pretty good. Murray could win MVP if he somehow beats out these other insane candidates but you have to put a guy this good on the list.
9. Von Miller, LB, Broncos: -9
The only defensive player on this list, Von Miller has had a great follow-up season to his Super Bowl MVP winning season last year. Miller is almost a lock for Defensive Player of the Year with 13.5 sacks, 65 tackles, and 2 forced fumbles. This is a great season for any defensive player and a great star like Miller could have an MVP in him maybe because he is one of the only defensive players with a chance this year and that alone maybe could win it for him?
10. Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans: N/A
Mariota's amazing season started week 5 but was shadowed by the return of Tom Brady. Since then, Mariota has been a top QB leading the Titans to many wins and they could still easily make the playoffs. They have beaten a lot of great teams like the Chiefs, Packers, Broncos, and more. Mariota has tossed 25 TD's, only 9 picks, and 3300 yards. Mariota could win it in future years, but unless he leads the Titans to the Super Bowl, its not pretty much possible but he is such a great player, he has to be on the list.

Pro Bowl Players Announced!!! my thoughts...
Hi, I'm super sorry I havent posted in awhile but I'm gonna try to start posting more in the next bit of the season. I've missed a lot and I hope you have watched a lot of football, but today, the pro bowl teams were announced and I am going to be writing about players I think should have made it, and players that were good picks into the pro bowl. If you want to see the pro bowl teams, check it out @: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000760503/article/nfl-announces-2017-pro-bowl-rosters
Here it is:
DESERVED TO MAKE IT AND MADE IT:
DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans:
After a Offensive Player of the Year winning year with the Cowboys in 2014, Murray had a huge slump year last year with the Eagles before coming to the Titans this season and playing out of his mind. Murray has been one of the best players this season and it would have been just stupid if he didn't make the pro bowl.
Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons:
Ryan has always been a decent QB, but this year he has been insane. Ryan is a top MVP candidate and has lead the Falcons to a playoff team. Ryan has been playing like an elite QB and it would have been a sad surprise if he didn't end up making the pro bowl.
Other good picks: Travis Fredrick C Cowboys, Lorenzo Alexander LB Bills, Tyreek Hill returner Chiefs
THE ROOKIES:
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott, and Chiefs WR/Returner Tyreek Hill were the only rookies to make the pro bowl, did they deserve it over some of the leagues best veterans?
For sure, these are 3 of the best rookies this season and they deserved it. Zeke Elliott is leading the league in rushing and has a LOT OF rushing TD's, Dak Prescott has been a crazy surprise and has quarterbacked the Cowboys to the top NFC team, and Tyreek Hill has lead the Chiefs offense and return team to a playoff team. Hill has blazing speed and has scored a bunch of TD's and set some records while he was at it.
SHOULD HAVE MADE IT, BUT DIDN'T:
Terelle Pryor WR, Browns: After a few seasons with different teams as a backup QB, this off-season, Pryor apparently became "obsessed" with catching footballs and decided he wanted to convert positions to play receiver. After a amazing pre-season, Pryor became the no. 1 receiver in Cleveland, playing great even with terrible QB's. Pryor should have made the Pro Bowl because he lead the worst team in the league and gives them a little hope. If the Browns had good QB's, imagine how much even BETTER Pryor could be. WHO HE COULD HAVE REPLACED: Amari Cooper, Raiders
Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans:
As a rookie last season, having lead his team to being the worst team in the league ending up with the first pick in the draft and in one season change his team to a playoff contender is really hard to do, and he did it. He has had an insane year with lots of TD's and not many interceptions and giving the Titans a great year for one of the first times in a long time and they could easily still make the playoffs barely losing a first place division tie with the Houston Texans. WHO HE COULD HAVE REPLACED: Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers
Kam Chancellor, Seahawks:
Chancellor in my mind, was a lock to make the pro bowl. On the Seahawks D, Kam makes play after play after play for them which sometimes even wins them insanely close games like when they upset the white hot Patriots in New England which everyone thought was impossible. Chancellor is a great safety and is one of the biggest playmakers in the league. WHO HE COULD HAVE REPLACED: Landon Collins, Giants
Other Snubs: Jimmy Graham TE Seahawks, LeGarrette Blount RB Patriots
SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE IT:
Ben Roethlisberger, QB Steelers:
Sure he had a decent season, but there are some much better AFC QB's who deserved to make it. Marcus Mariota with his insane turn around year, Andrew Luck with yet another GREAT season, even maybe Andy Dalton who is having an under the radar great season. Ben has put up decent stats but the Steelers haven't been looking their best in the passing game this season and Ben is just a fan favorite so he made it.
Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Cardinals:
I know since everyone thinks that this will be Larry's last season they are trying to get him in the Pro Bowl, even if it is his last season, don't put Fitz in the pro bowl. Fitz has had a pretty bad season, especially compared to the great one he had last year with MVP candidate Carson Palmer playing great, now their age is catching up on both of the star Cardinals and so they shouldn't have made it. The fans didn't put Carson Palmer in which was a relief, but still when there are receivers like Dez Bryant who didn't make it because of some old receiver that has had a pretty bad year, its kinda annoying.
Devonta Freeman, RB, Falcons:
I was surprised when I saw Freeman's name on the Pro Bowl list. Freeman didn't really deserve the pro bowl this season after seeing how well some of the other NFC RB's have been playing. Freeman had a monster season last year making me think he was the best RB in the league but after a somewhat disappointing year this year, I don't think he should be playing in Hawaii this year.
Other bad picks: Ha Ha Clinton-Dix S Packers, Amari Cooper WR Raiders
Thanks for reading and I will try hard to start posting a lot again! :)

Players Who Would be Better on Different Teams
Hi, sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I've been super busy and I'm going to try to post more often. Today I'm going to talk about a few players who would be great on different teams Here it is:
Terrelle Pryor Sr., WR, Browns: Coming out of college, Pryor was a stud QB who backed up many teams including Bengals, Seahawks, and more. This off-season, Pryor became obsessed with catching balls and wanted to try becoming a WR in the league instead of a QB. The Browns saw the young talent and signed him to a small 1 year deal. He shined in the pre-season and has literally become one of the leagues best receivers this year. He is the Browns no. 1 receiver. If Pryor actually had a talented QB instead of an insane QB carousel he could be an even better. The Browns are currently the worst team in the league, the only winless team sitting at 0-11.
Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks: I know Wilson is a top 5 QB on the Seahawks and has lead them to the playoffs every year of his career, Wilson could do much better. He plays at such an elite level with probably the worst O-line in the league. The second he drops back into the pocket he needs to throw right away. Lets say he went to the Cowboys who have the best O-line in the league and Wilson actually had time to throw, he would be INSANE. The Seahawks are a good team but their O-line is garbage.
Robert Griffin III, QB, Browns: RGIII is so good, his rookie year out of college when he was on the Redskins he had a phenomenal rookie of the year winning performance where he was insane and took a crappy Redskins team all the way to the playoffs. He was a dual threat QB and he was so promising and was looking like he would be a great elite player someday. Nope. Every year since Griffin has got injured. After finally a sad sequence this off-season where he was cut from the Redskins, the Browns saw something in him and signed him. He looked really great in the pre-season but got injured week 1. If Griffin was on a team with great receivers and a good O-line he could stay healthy and have a good season. Griffin would be so good on a team like the Cowboys or Steelers.
Josh Norman, CB, Redskins: On his final year of his contract last year with the Panthers, Norman had a breakout year. He became an insane CB1 who lead the league in interceptions and beat some of the best receivers in the league even starting a rivalry with Giants star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. After losing the Super Bowl, Josh Norman was franchise tagged by the Panthers but then they pulled back his deal because he was too expensive, the Redskins signed him to a HUGE deal days later worth 70+ million dollars over the course of around 4 years. Norman has been pretty good this year, but if he was back with a better organization where there would be more good players to help him and not as much pressure to have to be the best player on the team. He would be great on a team like the Denver Broncos.
Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Giants: What a player Odell has been since his first season in the league. He started his career out with a rookie of the year winning season and then an even better follow-up season becoming a top 2 receiver in the league, but this year, Beckham is still top 5 but he isn't as good. QB Eli Manning is getting older and worse and teams are catching on to Manning trying to get it to Odell every time. Odell has never made the playoffs in his career even though this year is super promising. If Odell was on a team that could make the post-season, he would be better because he would know everything about the regular season and playoffs and he would feel more satisfied. If he was on a playoff team like the Seahawks or another team with more than 1 good receiver he wouldn't be the only target so corners wouldn't be doing such tight coverage on just him. Odell could really benefit from being on a better team.
Here are some more players that could be better on different teams: Matt Flynn QB, Aaron Rodgers QB Packers, Carson Wentz QB Eagles, Jared Goff QB Rams, Thomas Rawls RB Seahawks, Jay Ajayi RB Dolphins, Melvin Gordon RB Chargers, Christine Michael RB Packers, Jamie Collins LB Browns, Tyrod Taylor QB Bills, LeSean McCoy RB Bills.

Winners of the Week, Week 9 Edition
Hi, its already time for winners of the week. This week it was actually a pretty one-sided affair. Here it is:
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jimmy Graham, TE, Seahawks:
Graham had an insane week. Leading the Seahawks to a must-win game, Graham recorded 8 catches for 102 yards and 2 TD's that were both 1 handed grabs in the endzone to make insane highlights. Graham has been due for a player of the week after multiple good weeks and with yet another good week, his best one yet. I had to finally give him player of the week. Without Graham, the Hawks would probably have lost and would start falling into a bad playoff situation because they would be 4-3-1 which isn't a great record.
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Seattle Seahawks (5-2-1):
The Seahawks had a comeback week. After losing an embarassing game to the Saints last week with the offense looking lost, the whole team looked great today. Russell Wilson was officially back making amazing throws and rushing for a TD himself. The defense looked dominate with an insane stop on 4th and goal to win the game with 20 seconds left. And the player of the week Jimmy Graham was a whole other story. What a week for Seattle to keep their playoff hopes alive.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks
Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans
Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons
Tyrod Taylor, QB, Bills
Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Giants
Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers
TEAM OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Oakland Raiders (7-1)
Dallas Cowboys (7-1)
New York Giants (5-3)
Miami Dolphins (4-4)

Fantasy Mid-Season Buy and Sell
Hi, today I'm doing a fantasy post. This is about buying and selling. In fantasy, buying is either trading for a player or picking them up, depending on if someone has that player in the league. A sell is trading away one of your players or in some cases dropping them. Here it is:
COREY COLEMAN, WR, BROWNS, BUY:
If you are low on receivers, buying Corey Coleman will be one of the smartest things you can do. Coleman was going to be the Browns no. 1 receiver and he started the season out to a great start but an injury in week 3 has kept him out the rest of the season so far. In his only 2 games he racked up a 6 point week followed by an insane 22 point week before the injury. Coleman is finally back and can be an instant starter or your team. Pick him up because no one probably owns him but if someone owns him, make sure to trade for him before he has another great week and gets on peoples radars.
CHRISTINE MICHAEL, RB, SEAHAWKS, SELL:
Michael has been pretty great thus far into the season, but its time to sell him. Michael is a great running back, but it really depends on if you want to win your league and risk giving him up. Michael is becoming a big name so if you offer for someone, they might see the name and accept. Another reason to sell him is because the Seahawks O-line has been getting worse I feel like, and so it will get harder for him to run it well, especially with a tough schedule the rest of the year. One last reason he is a good sell is because Thomas Rawls is already expected to be back next week for their clash against the Patriots, that will mean less carries for Michael. Get rid of him for someone else who you need. A trade that I like that could go through is trade Michael and receive Dolphins running back Jay Ajayi.
ODELL BECKHAM JR., WR, GIANTS, SELL:
Even though Odell Beckham happens to be my favorite player, I have to say its time to panic with him. 8 games into the season Odell has not been a top tier receiver. He has had 1 good week so far and you need to get rid of him because the big name will trigger peoples minds to accepting your trade. Getting rid of Odell might mean you need a receiver and so trade him for breakout star WR Mike Evans. Beckham might be a lost case for this season and its time to get rid of him.
MATTHEW STAFFORD, QB, LIONS, BUY:
Stafford so far has had an MVP caliber season and somehow he is still on most waiver wires or deep on peoples benches. With BYE weeks and disapointing plays by QB's, you may be on the lookout for an amazing QB and Stafford is that guy. He has been playing insanely and has an easy schedule ahead of him. If not on your waiver wire, giving up a WR or RB off your bench could get a deal going in your league. Stafford is the man and if you need a QB, once again, rely on Stafford.
Here are some more buys and sells:
DEZ BRYANT, WR, COWBOYS, BUY
PERCY HARVIN, WR, BILLS, BUY AND THEN SELL ONCE YOU HAVE HIM
ALSHON JEFFERY, WR, BEARS, SELL
ROB GRONKOWSKI, TE, PATRIOTS, BUY
EZEKIEL ELLIOTT, RB, COWBOYS BUY
MARCUS MARIOTA, QB, TITANS BUY
JAY AJAYI, RB, DOLPHINS BUY OR SELL FOR SOMEONE GOOD
MARTELLUS BENNETT, TE, PATRIOTS, SELL
VIKINGS DEFENSE, SELL
Thanks for reading and I hope this post helps your fantasy team!
COREY COLEMAN, WR, BROWNS, BUY:

Mid-Season Awards
Hi, somehow we are already halfway through the NFL season and it is time to write about who have been some of best players thus far. Some quick news that Chiefs star RB Jamaal Charles was put on IR today and should be out for around 8-9 weeks. Here we go:
Best Rookie so far: Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys:
Who would have thought that a rookie, third round pick would step in for injured Tony Romo and lead his team to no. 1 spot in the NFC at midseason? Prescott has been sensational even without Dez Bryant the teams no. 1 receiver. He has set rookie records, passed for 1773 yards and 9 TD's with only 2 interceptions and 3 fumbles!!! He has also rushed for 4 TD's and 105 rushing yards. What a crazy guy!
Best Team so far: New England Patriots (7-1):
It pains me to do this as a Seahawks fan, but the Patriots have been the best team in the league thus far. They have the best record and they even started 3-1 without Tom Brady. They have dominated every game almost and Tom Brady has looked amazing and is seeming to get better?? as he gets older... Their D looks great even though they just traded star LB Jamie Collins for a third round pick which was stupid. Rob Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett have been the duo the team has been looking for and they are playing amazing! Will Brady win ANOTHER Super Bowl this year?
Best Offensive Player so far: Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons:
What a season it has been for Ryan so far. Matty Ice has put up insane numbers. He's already thrown for 2636 yards, 19 TD's and only 4 interceptions. Thats insane! 19 TD's is 2 less than he got 1 FULL season and 3 more than he got one full season! He has turned Julio Jones into THE BEST receiver in the league and he has lead the Falcons to a great start that has them in the playoff picture currently. Matt Ryan is on pace to become league MVP, the best award you can get.
Biggest Busts so far: Odell Beckham Jr. WR Giants, and Todd Gurley RB Rams:
Two players who were thought of as some of the best offensive players in the league have been terrible busts so far. Beckham was supposed to be the best receiver in the league, but cornerbacks have finally caught on. Aside from his one insane week vs the Ravens (when he even won player of the week on my blog), he has not been same Odell he was the last two years. The Giants have struggled without him. Also Eli Manning isn't the same QB, he isn't playing as well and this probably marks one of his final seasons before retirement. Todd Gurley won rookie of the year last year and he was insane! Now he is also a bust. The defenses have caught on to his rushing attack. He was the one threat on the Rams last year and now they have no one. Gurley and Odell need to get their grooves back otherwise at the end of the season, they could see their names on busts of the year.
Best Surprises so far: Melvin Gordon RB Chargers, DeMarco Murray RB Titans, Matthew Stafford QB Lions, Marvin Jones WR Lions, Marcus Mariota QB Titans, Derek Carr QB Raiders:
I know that there are a lot more great surprises so far, but these are some of the best. Melvin Gordon came off a HUGE bust year last season and only 8 games into the season already has 10 TD's (league leader) and is playing like an All-Pro. DeMarco Murray was as good as Ezekiel Elliott on the Cowboys 2 years ago, he had a drought last year, and now he is back and has been AMAZING! He has given the Titans a chance to win games, they are a legit playoff contender. Matthew Stafford is having an MVP calliber season. He has been super clutch and he has been a top 5 QB in the NFL. Marvin Jones went from some lame free agent signing to a top elite receiver in football. Matthew Stafford has turned this guy into an ultimate weapon WR1 who has been playing as well as Julio Jones and Antonio Brown, he is right up there. Marcus Mariota didn't start the season off amazing but he got hot and now he is on fire and playing like an elite QB. Carr has lead the Raiders to a top playoff contending team and they are finally the top team in their division after the Broncos always dominating the top. Carr is a lot of peoples no. 1 bet for MVP and he has played super well. He is among the top 3 QB's for MVP. Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, and DEREK CARR.
Thanks for reading this long mid-season post and I hope your player or team got featured!

Eagles Vs. Cowboys, Game of the Week
Hi, I am making this post about one of the best match-ups we will see this year and it is Cowboys Vs. Eagles, 2 intriguing teams who both need the win to have a chance at a good playoff run. Some quick news that Broncos star RB C.J. Anderson was placed on IR. Here is the game and what I think will happen:
FINAL SCORE: COWBOYS 27, EAGLES 24:
COWBOYS TEAM LEADERS:
Dak Prescott: 20/36, 212 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT
Ezekiel Elliott: 30 carries, 182 yards, 1 TD
Cole Beasley: 6 receptions, 78 yards, 1 TD
Terrance Williams: 5 receptions, 64 yards
EAGLES TEAM LEADERS:
Carson Wentz: 19/30, 189 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Ryan Matthews: 20 carries, 120 yards, 2 TDs
Jordan Matthews: 4 receptions, 45 yards
Dorial Green-Beckham, 3 receptions, 36 yards, 1 TD
What a game this will be, two rookie QB's leading potiential playoff teams. People are saying this could be the new Brady/Manning rivalry. Dak Prescott is looking to show up in a big game that could almost define if he stays starter or if Tony Romo comes back. Carson Wentz has played super well and is finally giving the Eagles a chance to win games and possibly make the playoffs. The Eagles D has been a pleasant surprise while the Cowboys D is always the same crappy D. The Cowboys difference maker though is Ezekiel Elliott, the rookie running back who is leading the league in rushing. What a season he is having and he is on pace to break 2000 yards rushing!!! As a rookie!!!! It will be close, but the Cowboys will edge out the Eagles with their top tier offense.
FINAL SCORE: COWBOYS 27, EAGLES 24:
COWBOYS TEAM LEADERS:
Dak Prescott: 20/36, 212 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT
Ezekiel Elliott: 30 carries, 182 yards, 1 TD

MVP Race Candidates Half Season
Hi, with half of the season flown by, its time to see who has a chance at winning the biggest award of the year. Here it is:
TOP BET:
1. Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons:
Ask anyone, so far, Ryan has been the best player. He has helped the Falcons stay no. 1 in their division and he has helped Julio Jones emerge as the best receiver so far over Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown, two bets to do better than Jones. Ryan has looked amazing and beat tough teams including the Broncos who were undefeated until playing them and the Panthers. They even almost won a tough game in Seattle losing by a missed PI call on a 4th down dime to Julio Jones. Ryan had his best week against the Panthers throw for a bunch of TD's and 500 yards! Whew! Matty Ice has been great.
ELITE PERFORMERS:
2. Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions:
Another huge surprise, Stafford for MVP seemed as likely as Donald Trump winning the election this off-season, now both look possible. On a talentless Lions team with a long playoff drought, Matthew Stafford has made the best of it and stepped up his game to play better than he did even with legendary WR Calvin Johnson who retired this offseason. Golden Tate was the Lions only great target it seemed until free agent surprise Marvin Jones broke out and is now looking like a top 5 receiver. Stafford has made his team win a lot of games and is gaining on the playoff picture, don't be surprised if he actually wins MVP, its possible.
3. Melvin Gordon, RB, Chargers:
Who would have thought that the biggest dissapointment of last season, would come back and make a case to be league MVP? No one. After a terrible rookie season, something clicked and Melvin Gordon started playing like magic. Only 7 games into the season, Gordon already has 10 TD's, he could get 20 TDs this year if he keeps on pace which would be insane!!! That would be the NFL history record. Gordon could do it if he keeps playing like he has been. Gordon is a top RB who has a top shot at MVP.
4. DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans:
After his slump year, no one believed in Murray, except me. I thought he would be good since the day he got traded to that amazing O-line in Tennessee. Murray has done it. He has had a great season. Finally looking like himself, Murray has rushed for 5 TD's already and caught 2 TDs. He has also ran for 633 yards so far. He has looked amazing and he is one of the Titans only hopes at winning and I think they have a chance with such a stud in the backfield.
5. Julio Jones, WR, Falcons:
If Matt Ryan does end up winning MVP, its mostly because of the star of the Falcons offense. He has been super dominate this year and has played better than any other receiver in the game. He has already 830 receiving yards and 4 TDs including one 300 yard game vs. the Panthers which was insane. Jones is an amazing beast who has a great shot at league MVP.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
6. David Johnson, RB, Cardinals:
If you look at the stats, people either say David Johnson or Melvin Gordon is the no. 1 RB in the league, both have a great case. The 2nd year running back has had an amazing season and has played better than last years rookie of the year RB Todd Gurley who out played him for the award. He has rushed for 681 yards and 8 TD's, thats an elite performance for sure. Johnson looked like one of the only good players in last weeks slugfest tie Vs. the Seahawks. Johnson has a great shot at MVP and he is also the no. 1 point scoring fantasy running back.
7. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys:
This could end up being one of the best rookie running backs in NFL history, he is already on pace to break 2000 yards rushing which would be a record. Elliott has such a great shot at it too. Aside from his insane athletisim, Elliott is running behind the best O-line in the league. He is already pretty much a surefire Offensive Rookie of the year bet, but can he win MVP too? He has a shot.
8. Von Miller, LB, Broncos:
The reigning Super Bowl MVP has had a great follow-up season. He has already had 7.5 sacks and 22 solo tackles this far into the season. He is having a great season and he is maybe the best defensive player in the league, epescially with J.J. Watt out for the season. Defensive players don't normally win MVP, he has a chance, and if not, he has a great shot at defensive player of the year.
9. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys:
A name no one thought would be on this list this off-season surprised everyone. Rookie QB Dak Prescott stepped in when Tony Romo got hurt, now he looks like he will stay starter when Romo is back. Prescott has looked amazing starting 5-1 and right now leading the NFC's no. 1 team. Prescott has played super well even without super star receiver Dez Bryant. He has already set records and only thrown 1 interception. Dak Prescott will be a name you will hear in the future, but this is only the start.
10. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots:
Just because he had a 4 game suspension made people forget about Brady, but don't. He has been amazing in the games he has played, losing 0 games and he has been in the league MVP running almost every year of his career, why would this year be different after how good he's already been so far. Brady has a super star unit of pass catchers to help him including 2 TE's who both barely missed this list. Brady could easily do this if he keeps playing like he has been.
Another notable players: Drew Brees QB Saints, Marcus Mariota QB Titans, Le'Veon Bell RB Steelers, Antonio Brown WR Steelers, Marvin Jones WR Lions, Ben Roethlisberger QB Steelers, Derek Carr QB Steelers, A.J. Green WR Bengals, Martellus Bennett TE Patriots, Bobby Wagner MLB Seahawks, Jay Ajayi RB Dolphins, Rob Gronkowski TE Patriots, LeGarrette Blount RB Patriots, Cam Newton QB Panthers, Sam Bradford QB Vikings, Carson Wentz QB Eagles, Lorenzo Alexander LB Bills.
TOP BET:
1. Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons:
Ask anyone, so far, Ryan has been the best player. He has helped the Falcons stay no. 1 in their division and he has helped Julio Jones emerge as the best receiver so far over Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown, two bets to do better than Jones. Ryan has looked amazing and beat tough teams including the Broncos who were undefeated until playing them and the Panthers. They even almost won a tough game in Seattle losing by a missed PI call on a 4th down dime to Julio Jones. Ryan had his best week against the Panthers throw for a bunch of TD's and 500 yards! Whew! Matty Ice has been great.

After a terrible rookie season, something clicked and Melvin Gordon started playing like magic. Only 7 games into the season, Gordon already has 10 TD's, he could get 20 TDs this year if he keeps on pace which would be insane!!! That would be the NFL history record. Gordon could do it if he keeps playing like he has been. Gordon is a top RB who has a top shot at MVP.
4. DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans:
After his slump year, no one believed in Murray, except me. I thought he would be good since the day he got traded to that amazing O-line in Tennessee. Murray has done it. He has had a great season. Finally looking like himself, Murray has rushed for 5 TD's already and caught 2 TDs. He has also ran for 633 yards so far. He has looked amazing and he is one of the Titans only hopes at winning and I think they have a chance with such a stud in the backfield.
5. Julio Jones, WR, Falcons:
If Matt Ryan does end up winning MVP, its mostly because of the star of the Falcons offense. He has been super dominate this year and has played better than any other receiver in the game. He has already 830 receiving yards and 4 TDs including one 300 yard game vs. the Panthers which was insane. Jones is an amazing beast who has a great shot at league MVP.
NOTABLE PERFORMANCES:
6. David Johnson, RB, Cardinals:
If you look at the stats, people either say David Johnson or Melvin Gordon is the no. 1 RB in the league, both have a great case. The 2nd year running back has had an amazing season and has played better than last years rookie of the year RB Todd Gurley who out played him for the award. He has rushed for 681 yards and 8 TD's, thats an elite performance for sure. Johnson looked like one of the only good players in last weeks slugfest tie Vs. the Seahawks. Johnson has a great shot at MVP and he is also the no. 1 point scoring fantasy running back.
7. Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys:
This could end up being one of the best rookie running backs in NFL history, he is already on pace to break 2000 yards rushing which would be a record. Elliott has such a great shot at it too. Aside from his insane athletisim, Elliott is running behind the best O-line in the league. He is already pretty much a surefire Offensive Rookie of the year bet, but can he win MVP too? He has a shot.
8. Von Miller, LB, Broncos:
The reigning Super Bowl MVP has had a great follow-up season. He has already had 7.5 sacks and 22 solo tackles this far into the season. He is having a great season and he is maybe the best defensive player in the league, epescially with J.J. Watt out for the season. Defensive players don't normally win MVP, he has a chance, and if not, he has a great shot at defensive player of the year.
9. Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys:
A name no one thought would be on this list this off-season surprised everyone. Rookie QB Dak Prescott stepped in when Tony Romo got hurt, now he looks like he will stay starter when Romo is back. Prescott has looked amazing starting 5-1 and right now leading the NFC's no. 1 team. Prescott has played super well even without super star receiver Dez Bryant. He has already set records and only thrown 1 interception. Dak Prescott will be a name you will hear in the future, but this is only the start.
10. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots:
Just because he had a 4 game suspension made people forget about Brady, but don't. He has been amazing in the games he has played, losing 0 games and he has been in the league MVP running almost every year of his career, why would this year be different after how good he's already been so far. Brady has a super star unit of pass catchers to help him including 2 TE's who both barely missed this list. Brady could easily do this if he keeps playing like he has been.
Another notable players: Drew Brees QB Saints, Marcus Mariota QB Titans, Le'Veon Bell RB Steelers, Antonio Brown WR Steelers, Marvin Jones WR Lions, Ben Roethlisberger QB Steelers, Derek Carr QB Steelers, A.J. Green WR Bengals, Martellus Bennett TE Patriots, Bobby Wagner MLB Seahawks, Jay Ajayi RB Dolphins, Rob Gronkowski TE Patriots, LeGarrette Blount RB Patriots, Cam Newton QB Panthers, Sam Bradford QB Vikings, Carson Wentz QB Eagles, Lorenzo Alexander LB Bills.

Winners of the Week, Week 7 Edition
Hi, IM SUPER SORRY I HAVENT POSTED IN A WEEK, IVE BEEN BUSY AND I WILL TRY TO STEP IT UP AND POST A LOT MORE, here are my winners of the week:
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jay Ajayi, RB, Dolphins: What a week for Ajayi! This was his 2nd straight week with 200 yards becoming the 4th player in Dolphins history to do so back to back weeks. Ajayi also had a TD. Some news came today that Dolphins starting running back Arian Foster who had been the one making Ajayi sit on the bench retired, meaning Ajayi will have more amazing weeks to come. What a week for Ajayi and the Dolphins pulled off yet another upset vs. a top team. Ajayi should be on your fantasy team a low end RB1 but amazing RB2/FLEX.
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Eagles (4-2):
For the second time this year, the Eagles have won team of the week. The last time they won was when they upset the Steelers with a huge blowout win. It wasn't a blowout win this week, but beating the last undefeated team, is a big milestone. The Vikings were 5-0 and were looking to have a chance to have an undefeated season with a pretty easy schedule, but the Eagles stopped them in their tracks. The Eagles Defense dominated with a bunch of crazy plays while the offense played pretty well too. Dorial Green-Beckham finally had a productive week and Sam Bradford threw his first interception of the year. The Eagles also had a kick return for a TD. What an amazing week for the Eagles and they have maybe their most important game of the season coming this next week when they face their division kings, the Cowboys. If they win, they will be top of their division. Watch out for this crazy team!
PLAYER OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Bobby Wagner, MLB, Seahawks: Made a bunch of crucial plays to help the Seahawks get the game under control including blocking some field goals
Melvin Gordon, RB, Chargers: Had three TD's and lots of yards in the Chargers upset over the Falcons, he is now leading the league with 8 rushing TD's
Vernon Davis, TE, Redskins: Even though they lost and he wasn't a huge star, he had a bunch of great catches and blocks to help the Redskins have a chance to win
TEAM OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Seahawks (4-1-1) + Cardinals (3-3-1): Made a super entertaining game with a crazy OT sequence with two of the leagues best kickers missing less than 30 yard, potiential game winning field goals and generated a rare tie
Dolphins (3-4): Had a great offensive and defensive game against the Bills who were heavily favored to win their game
Colts (3-3): Battled it out to the last minute to win an important divisional game
Thanks for reading and I should have my weekly wrap-up post coming tomorrow or the next day. Thanks for reading and being so patient for me to finally post again. :)

Winners of the Week, Week 6 Edition
Hi, here is my weekly winners of the week post, my wrap-up should be coming tomorrow. Here it is:
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Giants: Odell finally had a great week. After a LOT of off-season hype about how great Odell's 3rd season would be, he has been terrible this year...at least until this week. Odell broke out with 8 catches for 222 yards and 2 TD's. 2222! :) . Anyway, Odell's scores put the Giants ahead of the Ravens in final minutes to win a VERY important game. Odell Beckham finally played like people thought he would, will it last though? By the way, that went for 32 fantasy points!
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Seattle Seahawks (4-1): WHAT A WEEK FOR SEATTLE. Coming off their BYE week, the Seahawks were winning the division by 1 game of the Rams and 1 game out of the Cardinals. If the Seahawks lost and either or both teams won, the Seahawks would be second in the division which is not great. Playing the no. 1 offense (Falcons), it looked like this would be their hardest game of the year. After taking a strong first half lead 17-3, they gave 21 points in the 3rd and 4th quarter to make the game 24-17 Falcons. The Seahawks missed a close field goal but then scored a TD to make it 24-23, then the extra point got blocked and with around 5 minutes, it looked like the Seahawks were headed to a disappointing loss. Then they struck back, Matt Ryan threw a pass to no. 1 WR Julio Jones and it was bobbled and picked off by Seahawks star safety Earl Thomas. The Hawks then put together a field goal drive to be up 26-24, the Falcons still had a chance on offense but the Seahawks forced them to a turn-over on downs and then kneeled the rest of time out. They won a must win game against one of the top teams in the league.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK Honorable Mentions:
Dak Prescott QB Cowboys: Lead 'Boys to yet another win with 3 TD's against the tough Packers
LeSean McCoy RB Bills: 140 rushing yards and 3 TD's for 32 fantasy points and a Bills win

Dak Prescott Vs. Tony Romo, The Battle Under Center
Hi, I am making a post talking about the Cowboys QB battle. Tony Romo has been really good in past years but he is getting older and he keeps getting hurt. While being hurt the first 8 weeks of this season, youngster rookie QB Dak Prescott stepped in and has lead the Cowboys to 4-1. He is looking amazing and has thrown 0 interceptions through these first games. Today I am picking a winner because so many people have been debating over it and its time for me to answer this burning question. Here is battle:
Tony Romo:
Pros: Romo knows the offense. He has been the starter for years now and has lead the Cowboys to multiple playoff appearances. He has been productive for years and he turned Dez Bryant into a great receiver. He has thrown for 34,000+ yards over the course of his career in Dallas and 247 TD's. He a favorite QB and has been a top 5, elite QB for the longest time. He's completed a little over half of the throws he's completed in his career.
Cons: Romo is getting old. He is not a very mobile QB and he does throw a lot of interceptions. Romo gets hurt a lot too and this is the 3rd or 4th time he has gotten hurt badly. Last season he broke his collarbone, came back and then re-injured it after playing 1 game which lead to one of the Cowboys most disasterous seasons in franchise history having a 4-12 year. Romo will not be able to take the Cowboys into the playoffs many more times as the Cowboys want
Dak Prescott:
Pros: Dak has been really good. Most rookie QB's aren't productive in their first year but Prescott has looked very productive. He is 4-1 as a starter and he only needs one more win to already have a better record than the Cowboys season last year. He is a few pass attempts without an interception to set a NFL record. He is a super mobile QB who also can throw very well and he is learning the offense very well. He has thrown 0 interceptions over the first few games which is super hard for rookies to do. Prescott is also very young so he has a lot of time to play and improve under a young Cowboys team.
Cons: He is only a rookie so he can probably only play SO well. He will eventually throw interceptions and show some signs that he is a rookie. He sometimes doesn't make the best descions. Rookies QBs have never lead their team to a super bowl win so it is a super long shot that Prescott could win the Super Bowl this year.
WHO WINS: Its not actually that close, I feel like Dak Prescott will win and he should win. He has more pros and less cons than Romo. He is younger, doesn't have much injury risk, and has a lot of time to work on his mistakes. It makes sense for him to stay starting QB now that he has learned the offense so well. He deserves this win and will be the future of this franchise even if he doesn't start after Romo comes back cause Romo only has a year or 2 left.
Thanks for reading, I hope you liked this post.

Week 6 Fantasy Sits
Hi, here is my sits of the week. Some news that the Chargers upset the Broncos with a win tonight on Thursday night football. The Chargers are now 2-4 and the Broncos are 4-2. Here are the sits:
Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons: Over the first few weeks, Ryan has been a beast. He's scored the most fantasy points of any fantasy player over these first weeks, he's number 1 right now in the running for league MVP, and he's already landed player of the week on my blog once. He's having a star season but against the Broncos tough defense he only scored 14 which is a low end QB score and now playing another top 5 D he shouldn't be great. Make sure not to drop him though because after this week, his schedule is super easy the entire rest of the year except maybe 1 or 2 tough match-ups.
Devonta Freeman, RB, Falcons: Freeman is one of the most played players in fantasy every week but he shouldn't be spotted in your lineup this week unless you want to lose. Freeman will be up against a tough Seahawks D which especially good against the run. They will know Freeman will run it and so he will get stuffed. Not a great play this week but the other RB on the Falcons, Tevin Coleman, should for sure be in your lineup, he will not be covered much.
T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts: Even though Hilton has had a breakout year this year, don't let his no. 2 overall position rank force you into starting him. Sure, he's been good but he has had some down weeks. His worst was against the Broncos D, a quality D that held him to a mere 4 points. Going up against a good D in the Texans, he will be covered heavily by top corner Jonathan Joseph and co. Hilton is not a great play for the week. If you are a risk taker, he could be a low end FLEX.
Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots: Okay, Gronk may be the best player ever to play his position, but there are too many questions and risks about playing him. Gronk was injured most of these first games and finally is back and scored a nice 10 points this week, but partner in crime, tight end Martellus Bennett has been going OFF these past fews weeks and he will get limited playing time until he is full health and Bennett is struggling. Bennett will for sure take away a lot of Gronks snaps. Plus the Bengals will be covering the no. 1 target which is Gronk. This isn't a great week to start Gronk.
Thanks for reading and I will have new posts coming soon, I already know what I'm doing tomorrow so stay tuned!!
Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons: Over the first few weeks, Ryan has been a beast. He's scored the most fantasy points of any fantasy player over these first weeks, he's number 1 right now in the running for league MVP, and he's already landed player of the week on my blog once.

Week 6 Fantasy Starts
Hi, its time for fantasy starts, lets dive right in. Some news that Colin Kaepernick signed a new deal with the 49ers. Here it is:
Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans: Mariota had insane week last week against the Dolphins. 30 points!! This week he is playing and even worse defense playing against the winless Browns. He should have another field day and DeMarco Murray should be his prime target.
Jeremy Kerley, WR, 49ers: This is a little of a risky play vs a good Bills D, but it could pay off. Kerley has been the 49ers top receiver the last 2 weeks scoring 14 and 16 points. He is onto peoples fantasy radars and that is a good thing but it could be a bit risky playing him this week. A hard Bills D and a new QB who hasn't bonded with him yet could stop him from a good week. Play him as your FLEX or a low end WR2.
DeMarco Murray, RB, Titans: Murray has probably been the no. 1 RB in fantasy through the first five weeks of fantasy. Sorry, I lied, he has been the 2nd best, I just searched it up. He has not had a non double digit point game yet and why would he do it this week against probably the worst D in the league. He is the no. 1 RB on the Titans and he will get a lot of receiving too. He is a high end RB1!
Martellus Bennett, TE, Patriots: Most may say Martellus Bennett's good first weeks in New England may be a fluke, but I say no. Even with Rob Gronkowski back, Tom Brady should still give Bennett a bunch of targets. Sure he won't have 3 TD's this week but its looking like at least a 10 point game for Bennett. I say pick up Bennett and trade your high end tight end like Greg Olsen or Jordan Reed for another position.
Ryan Matthews, RB, Eagles: Coming off 3 double digit games, going against a terrible Redskins D should be easy money for Matthews. He is the prime workhorse RB in Philidelphia and why would he stop playing well in one of his easiest match-ups of the year. This should be yet another field day for Matthews.
Thanks for reading and I will hopefully have my sits post up before the game tomorrow night for Thursday night football, Broncos Vs. Chargers.
Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans: Mariota had insane week last week against the Dolphins. 30 points!! This week he is playing and even worse defense playing against the winless Browns. He should have another field day and DeMarco Murray should be his prime target.
Jeremy Kerley, WR, 49ers: This is a little of a risky play vs a good Bills D, but it could pay off. Kerley has been the 49ers top receiver the last 2 weeks scoring 14 and 16 points.

Week 5 Wrap-Up
Hi, its time for the weekly wrap-up here is everything:
SCORES:
Cardinals 33 @ 49ers 21
Redskins 16 @ Ravens 10
Patriots 33 @ Browns 13
Eagles 23 @ Lions 24
Bears 23 @ Colts 29
Titans 30 @ Dolphins 17
Texans 13 @ Vikings 31
Jets 13 @ Steelers 31
Falcons 23 @ Broncos 16
Bengals 14 @ Cowboys 28
Bills 30 @ Rams 19
Chargers 31 @ Raiders 34
Giants 16 @ Packers 23
Buccaneers 17 @ Panthers 13
WHAT WENT DOWN:
Lets start off with the un-defeated teams. At the beginning of the week there were 3 undefeated teams, now the league is down to its last one. The Eagles and Broncos both dropped their undefeated streaks while the Vikings blew out the Texans to stay unbeaten. Who would have thought such a banged up team without their starting QB and future hall of fame running back would be undefeated this long.
The Cardinals vs. 49ers was a big game without people knowing it. Blaine Gabbert's terrible game lead the 49ers staff to name Colin Kaepernick QB (which was announced today) David Johnson had an amazing game in the win and the Cardinals D played spot on, on the 49ers WR Jeremy Kerley played pretty well and is turning into a reliable receiver. Carlos Hyde had yet another amazing game also.
Tom Brady's return lead to a crazy game. He threw for 406 yards and 3 TD's, no rust at all. The Browns suffered more injuries. 3rd string rookie QB Cody Kessler got injured early on to leave 4th string Charlie Whitehurst in, then something happened and former QB, WR Terrelle Pryor played some snaps at QB. Martellus Bennett had an amazing game at tight end for the Patriots.
The Eagles ended their streak with a tiny loss. 1 point. The Eagles were on a comeback drive when amazing rookie QB Carson Wentz threw his first career interception to lose the game. The Lions after the game signed former Ravens RB Justin Forsett who could potientially become the starter.
In the Bears game, QB Brian Hoyer played well again and is quickly seperating himself from Jay Cutler for the starting QB. Rookie RB Jordan Howard had a great game running for 100+ yards a TD. The Colts looked great on offense. Andrew Luck to T.Y. Hilton was looking like a great duo and Hilton is having a GREAT season.
The Titans are proving to be a playoff worthy team. They are 2-3 and 1 game out of the division leader the Texans. They are playing the Browns this coming week which should be an easy W. Marcus Mariota had an AMAZING game while DeMarco Murray kept grinding and having yet another game. The Dolphins cut 3 of their O-lineman after being frusturated by their play. But the Dolphins did sign pretty good CB Ben Benwikere.
The Vikings stayed undefeated. Sam Bradford is looking amazing in Minnesota and Teddy Bridgewater should be worried about his role in Minnesota next season. Random receiver Adam Theinlan looked really good and had a TD and a bunch of yards. The defense stayed no. 1.
The Steelers are looking like the real deal, not the team who got blown out to by the Eagles. Sammie Coates is turning into a great deep threat and Big Ben looks better than ever. Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell also got a lot of receiving action. Bell didn't get much carries. The Jets are looking terrible.
The Falcons are the team to beat. They took down the Panthers and the before undefeated Broncos. Matt Ryan is looking like the early bet for MVP and the Falcons offense is looking great. They are winning their division by a lot and the Devonta Freeman/Tevin Coleman duo looked great again. They will again be put to the test playing the Seahawks in Seattle. The Broncos looked terrible without Trevor Siemian even though Paxton Lynch was not bad.
The Bengals took a surprising loss to the young Cowboys. Ezekiel Elliott had a monster game and is looking like a top bet for rookie of the year. Dak Prescott had a great passes and running game and people are really wondering if he will stay starter even when Tony Romo is back. My opinion is he should stay starter. The Bengals looked lost and the Cowboys are looking like the team they were 2 years ago.
The Bills had a big win over the Rams. The Rams losing puts them in 2nd place in the division while the Bills hope to catch up to the roaring Patriots. The Rams looked ok but the Bills looked amazing and their D is playing great and LeSean McCoy had 150 yards rushing.
The Chargers lost by a tiny bit yet again but their team played well. Phillip Rivers had a great passing game and Melvin Gordon looked great AGAIN! Rookie first round pick Joey Bosa played for the first time this season and recorded 2 sacks! CRAZY! The Raiders looked great too. Derek Carr is playing like a top 3 QB and the offense is playing great. They are tied for top of their division. The D looked great too.
The Panthers look hopeless. With or without Cam Newton they are looking like a wreck. Greg Olsen looks good but the D sucks. Jameis Winston had a decent game on the Bucs and third string RB Jaquizz Rodgers had a great game. The Bucs won it by a field goal as time expired. The Bucs have a shot at winning their division if they can catch up to the Falcons.
What a week, thanks for reading an I will have a starts and sits coming soon! :)

WHAT WENT DOWN:
Lets start off with the un-defeated teams. At the beginning of the week there were 3 undefeated teams, now the league is down to its last one. The Eagles and Broncos both dropped their undefeated streaks while the Vikings blew out the Texans to stay unbeaten. Who would have thought such a banged up team without their starting QB and future hall of fame running back would be undefeated this long.
The Cardinals vs. 49ers was a big game without people knowing it. Blaine Gabbert's terrible game lead the 49ers staff to name Colin Kaepernick QB (which was announced today) David Johnson had an amazing game in the win and the Cardinals D played spot on, on the 49ers WR Jeremy Kerley played pretty well and is turning into a reliable receiver. Carlos Hyde had yet another amazing game also.
Tom Brady's return lead to a crazy game. He threw for 406 yards and 3 TD's, no rust at all. The Browns suffered more injuries. 3rd string rookie QB Cody Kessler got injured early on to leave 4th string Charlie Whitehurst in, then something happened and former QB, WR Terrelle Pryor played some snaps at QB. Martellus Bennett had an amazing game at tight end for the Patriots.
The Eagles ended their streak with a tiny loss. 1 point. The Eagles were on a comeback drive when amazing rookie QB Carson Wentz threw his first career interception to lose the game. The Lions after the game signed former Ravens RB Justin Forsett who could potientially become the starter.
In the Bears game, QB Brian Hoyer played well again and is quickly seperating himself from Jay Cutler for the starting QB. Rookie RB Jordan Howard had a great game running for 100+ yards a TD. The Colts looked great on offense. Andrew Luck to T.Y. Hilton was looking like a great duo and Hilton is having a GREAT season.
The Titans are proving to be a playoff worthy team. They are 2-3 and 1 game out of the division leader the Texans. They are playing the Browns this coming week which should be an easy W. Marcus Mariota had an AMAZING game while DeMarco Murray kept grinding and having yet another game. The Dolphins cut 3 of their O-lineman after being frusturated by their play. But the Dolphins did sign pretty good CB Ben Benwikere.
The Vikings stayed undefeated. Sam Bradford is looking amazing in Minnesota and Teddy Bridgewater should be worried about his role in Minnesota next season. Random receiver Adam Theinlan looked really good and had a TD and a bunch of yards. The defense stayed no. 1.
The Steelers are looking like the real deal, not the team who got blown out to by the Eagles. Sammie Coates is turning into a great deep threat and Big Ben looks better than ever. Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell also got a lot of receiving action. Bell didn't get much carries. The Jets are looking terrible.
The Falcons are the team to beat. They took down the Panthers and the before undefeated Broncos. Matt Ryan is looking like the early bet for MVP and the Falcons offense is looking great. They are winning their division by a lot and the Devonta Freeman/Tevin Coleman duo looked great again. They will again be put to the test playing the Seahawks in Seattle. The Broncos looked terrible without Trevor Siemian even though Paxton Lynch was not bad.

Winners of the Week, Week 5 Edition
Hi, with my wrap-up post coming soon, I am making the winners of the week post. Sorry that I haven't posted fantasy starts and sits for awhile but I will make sure to post them this week. Im not giving any news alerts because that will come in my wrap-up post. Here are the winners of the week.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tom Brady, QB, Patriots: Wooh! Brady is back. The best QB in NFL history was fresh off his suspension and didn't show any rust at all. Brady completed 28 passes for 406 yards and 3 TD's. What a week. 400 yards is a lot and 3 TD's is great too. His receivers were super reliable and his throws were on the money. Brady is back and he started off his season by winning player of the week, we should be scared for the rest of the season.
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Atlanta Falcons (4-1):
For the 2nd straight week, the Falcons have won team of the week. This week wasn't as impressive as their historic week last week, but its up there. People thought the Falcons would snap under the pressure of playing the undefeated reigning super bowl champs with a top defense and a decent offense. NOPE! The Falcons ended their winning streak with a bang. Matt Ryan was good even with the pressure of the top secondary in the league and held Von Miller off of a huge game. Devonta Freeman/Tevin Coleman duo went off again. The defense looked really good for the first time of the season. Beating the Broncos was a huge milestone but they will again be put to the test going up against the rested Seahawks in Seattle, can Matt Ryan's gang take team of the week again next week. We'll see.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Marcus Mariota, QB, Titans: 20 completions for 163 yards and 3 TD's, 30 fantasy points
Martellus Bennett, TE, Patriots: 3 TD catches and 60+ yards, 24 fantasy points

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys: Rushed for 134 yards and 2 TD's, 28 fp
Jaquizz Rodgers, RB, Buccaneers: Rushed for 100+ yards against the Panthers good D with a tiny height of 5'6
TEAM OF THE WEEK HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Minnesota Vikings (5-0): Stayed the only undefeated team with a big win over the Texans
New England Patriots (4-1): Had a blowout game vs. Browns with Brady back

Predicting the First 5 Picks of the 2017 NFL Draft
Hi, I'm looking way into the future on which teams I think will have the top 5 picks and who they will pick. These are my opinion on how the teams will do so the order will most likely not be the same. Some quick news that the Panthers release good cornerback Bene Benwikere. Here it is:
With the first pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns Select:
DeShaun Watson, QB, Clemson:
The Browns are the only team without a win this season. They were looking good before their injuries hit. QB Robert Griffin III looked good but he's hurt yet again and so the Browns are back to their QB struggles. Its time to grab a young player who is easily the best QB in college. He's fast, he's great at passing, and he's a leader. He could finally be the franchise QB they've been waiting for.
With the second pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears Select:
Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville:
If Lamar Jackson comes out of college this year, he will be the future of the Bears QB. They have dealt with Jay Culter for too long and he used to be good but his prime time is over. The Bears will love a young, SUPER fast, heisman potiential, QB. He is probably going to win this years Heisman, he has already 14 passing TD's and 14 rushing TD's in just a few games. WHAT?! How does that work. This man is insane and he will be the Bears long term answer even if he doesn't start RIGHT away.
With the Third pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Fransico 49ers Select:
DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame:
Its time. The 49ers have 2 QB's currently. Blaine Gabbert who is overrated by the team and Colin Kapernick who deserves the start but no one gives it to him so its time for someone new. Most people are saying Kizer will be the no. 1 QB coming out of college and I think he is really good so the 49ers will be lucky to get him. He's already passed for 1500+ yards and 14 TD's and he's rushed for 600+ yards and 6 TD's in just the first few games. He is perfect combination and the 49ers will be happy to have someone new at QB.
With the Fourth pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins Select:
Myles Garrett, OLB, Texas A&M:
The Redskins are going to have another bad season and they will finally be able to get the next Von Miller right out of college to help with their terrible defense. Him and Josh Norman will headline the D and the addition of Garrett will help A LOT! He could give them a great monster season.
With the Fifth Pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers Select:
Jabrill Peppers, DB, Michigan:
With Jason Verrett hurt, he will be a question mark in the future, to have a super young corner in the mix, the 2 could grow together and be like Aquib Talib and Chirs Harris. He plays a bunch of other positions too so if they needed help in other places, they could put him there to help. He is the complete package and will totally help the Chargers in the future.
Thanks for reading and I may have picks 6-10 coming another time. Hope you liked it.
