2018 NFL Draft: Top 3 Wide Receivers

The holidays are here, and the College Football Bowl Season has begun. The NFL Draft is within sight! The Gridiron Scholar is teaming up with the Peoplez Pen to go through some of the top players in this year's class. With the league becoming pass heavy, wide receivers are in high demand. And this year's crop boasts some high-level potential. Courtland Sutton, James Washington, and Calvin Ridley offer explosiveness we may not have seen at WR since the recently well-respected Class of 2014. Can these guys be as good, or…

Fantasy Football: Week 15 Recap

In usual fashion, running backs seemed to dominate during Week 15. Also emerging from the woodwork were a few surprise names at quarterback on Sunday, as well as a bunch of underwhelming wide receivers. We learned plenty more about the playoff picture this week, and perhaps who the frontrunners are for Fantasy Football MVP. Here's your recap: Rams/Seahawks Thumbs Up: Funny to think we once doubted Todd Gurley. His performance against the Seahawks was nothing short of remarkable, combining for 180 scrimmage yards and four…

Fantasy Football: Week 15 Quarterback Matchup Report

At the rate we’re going with QB injuries, Mitchell Trubisky will be a top-10 option in Week 17. I know I’m exaggerating a lot, but damn, every week we have someone go down. This past week, Carson Wentz was the unfortunate victim, suffering a torn ACL. It’s a real shame, too.

I’m sure I wasn’t the only person looking forward to seeing what Wentz and Deshaun Watson could do in crucial playoff games. On the…

Fantasy Football: Week 15 Running Back Matchup Report

There were a lot of exceptional running back performances in Week 14. Nine running backs eclipsed the 20-point plateau, the most in any week since Week 3 in 2016. Among those who hit that mark last week was Green Bay Packers’ rookie runner Jamaal Williams. Williams has filled in admirably following the losses of Ty Montgomery and Aaron Jones to injuries. Williams has posted three consecutive top-seven fantasy performances and is third among running backs in fantasy points over the last four weeks. It will be interesting to…

Fantasy Football: Week 15 Rankings

Just three weeks of rankings left, and we're fortunate enough to welcome Aaron Rodgers back into the fold. The quarterback rankings felt amost empty without him, and the same could be said at wide receiver. With the veteran gunslinger back, Jordy Nelson vaults back inside the Top 20 this week, as we can expect big things from the normally dynamic duo. There are also some big points to be had on defense this week. The Ravens could do big things against the Browns, while the Lions (owned in all of 57% of leagues) could also be…
