Beginner's Luck: Selling Rookies Who Could Regress
When I say "dynasty fantasy football," one of the first things you probably think is "young players!"

The rookie class is great for receivers in 2020. At least this is what we have been told. Until we can see them in action, I will hold judgment. It was only a few years ago when the same was said for Corey Coleman, Laquon Treadwell and Josh Doctson. So, color me skeptical until it... Read More
