Fantasy Football is done. It’s finished. The 16-week sprint to glory has concluded, and with it, I hope you were able to bring home some championships and bragging rights. After all, it just isn’t fantasy football if you can’t brag about it for the next eight months until we start again....

2021 will start with Notre Dame being turned into plasma as we return to normalcy
We all look very forward to 2020 being over. 2021 won’t be unique, in that it will start with Notre Dame having their asshole pulled through their nose once again on a national stage. Other years have had that jumpstart. But it’s hard to argue that it won’t be a nice fillip for everyone after the da...

Coastal Carolina is your national champion, don’t care what anyone says
If you look at Coastal Carolina’s season, it’s almost hard to believe that it was 2020. The Chanticleers’ run was remarkable, starting with a 15-point win on the road against a Big 12 school (Kansas, but still), and then a rampage through the Sun Belt Conference, with only one postponement — and you...
Fantasy Football Semifinals: Here are the QBs and RBs to help you take the crown
So, you made it through your first round of the playoffs and you’re on to the semifinals. Congratulations!
