With the NFL regular season completed, and the Heisman out of the way tonight. it is time to take a quick look at the NFL postseason awards, how I would vote and how I expect it to go.

This is Aaron Rodgers’ award by almost all accounts. He has the narrative of “the old man’s last hurrah” and the argument that the younger Patrick Mahomes has plenty of time to … Continue reading NFL Postseason Awards

NFL Draftkings Week 15

weezel32

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Single lineup this week as I plow through my to-do list and play catch up on some house/personal stuff this morning. Doing something this week you absolutely should not do: playing a bunch of high ownership guys in smaller GPP tournaments. Hilton, Mahomes, Kamara, Hockenson and Aiyuk all project to be 10-20 percent owned this week. In fact, the only low-owned guy in this lineup is probably Gallup. And yes, I paid up for the Rams, who should be the most popular defense to own as they face the Jets. Make no … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 15
