In between the Covid-19 chaos we started with the Washington front seven smashing up Dallas, saw one player score two defensive touchdowns on back to back plays, a team with no quarterback manage 113 yards of total offense, Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill combine to put up more against Tampa in one quarter than most teams manage in four, Aaron Donald get back to sacking ways, Joey Bosa tear through the Bills and we finally crossed the plane to week 13 with T.J. Watt leading the charge for Mr. Sacktacular 2020.
We’ve finally reached the Thanksgiving point of the season, a holiday that as a Scot I don’t really understand. What I do understand is that it’s the week I get to watch non-Sunday football without staying up until about 3 am. The Detroit game kicks off at 5.30 pm local time for me!
By Duncan Smith and JJ Wenner Welcome to our week 5 defensive recap, the week started with Tom Brady getting sacked 3 times on Thursday night, continued with 7 individual players sacking Joe Burrow on Sunday, and finished with the first Tuesday game since Minnesota played Philadelphia in 2010, and Tennessee scoring 42 points against … Continue reading In My Defense – Week 5
Before we begin the breakdown, remember to check who your league mates dropped once waivers clear. Week 2 was brutal, and some of your competitors might not have the luxury of keeping stud IDP players on IR all year. If they can't, and you can make sure to grab them up immediately.
This weekly article serves to update you on the latest fantasy relevant injury news from around the NFL.

I'm not sure whether I'm a bigger fan of a good Pennsylvania Rye or a healthy pour of Glenlivet, so I try to keep a supply on hand to quench my thirst. In the same token, I'm not sure if you enjoy my (JJ) brand of smooth dad-joke laden IDP takes or if you prefer the Benny Hill and Oscar Wilde mash-up of Duncan Smith. Well, you are going to get a mix of both as we join forces to take a look at weekly IDP trends.

Football is a physical game, which centers around collisions. When you compound the size and strength of today’s professional athletes with the violence of the sport, it's truly a miracle that there are not injuries on every single play. While I would never wish harm upon anyone, injuries are an unfortunate reality of football, and with that comes their impact on fantasy. Check out the 2020 Preseason Injury Preview for updates on some of the big names in fantasy heading into the 2020 draft season!
