Fantasy Football

Pursuing a professional football dream is a big challenge, and the road gets even tougher for those players who find themselves on the outside of the league looking in after the NFL Draft every year.Life as an undrafted free agent has no guarantees. You could never get signed by a team. You could blow out a knee and be cut immediately. You could outperform a draftee in camp, but still get let go because the team has money invested in the other guy. The success stories for undrafted players are few and far between.…

The talent disparity at the NFL level is not as wide as one would believe. Oftentimes, success comes down to teams finding coaches who can maximize talent and put players in the best positions to succeed. This often carries over into fantasy football as well.

2018 NFL Draft ProFiles: Riley Ferguson Riley Ferguson is yet another Quarterback who commands some attention in this year's NFL Draft Class. He replaced Paxton Lynch as the Memphis signal caller, and despite what you think of Lynch's pro career, the replacement has been even better than Lynch was with the Tigers.
