Well, folks, we have finally reached the Conference Championship games. Sunday’s games will decide who competes in Super Bowl LII. Only one of the four teams still standing finished above .500 a season ago. That, of course, would be the New England Patriots, who won last year’s Super Bowl and are favored to repeat this year. The Patriots will host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Sunday’s first game.The Jacksonville Jaguars won just three games last season. Their incredible turnaround has been kickstarted by the continued…

The Minnesota Vikings have clinched the NFC North and are poised to earn a first-round bye in the playoffs. Their offense has survived multiple injuries, and players have really stepped…

Stop me if you have heard this before, but Alvin Kamara was the overall RB1 in fantasy last week. Last week was his league-leading seventh straight weekly RB1 performance.
