A look back at the week that was in preseason football, and the fantasy football implications. Jets 17, Giants 3 – Eli Manning’s preseason struggles continued against the Jets. It’s not unreasonable to wonder if losing Steve Smith and Kevin Boss is going to be more of an issue than previously thought. Both Giants running […]
Arian Foster is going to get all of us fantasy writers fired. After all, none of us can provide you with first-hand injury information quite like the athletes themselves. Imagine if on Sundays, instead of reading The Fantasy Huddle for injury updates, all you had to do was follow Tom Brady, LeSean McCoy and the […]
We’re in the heart of fantasy draft season, when pieces are moving up and down your board constantly.

You can say it’s ‘only the preseason,’ but you can’t say the New England Patriots ‘only scored 78 points’ in their first two games this August. No, Tom Brady didn’t play the first game, a 47-12 beating of the Jaguars. And teams are using the preseason to audition tons of players trying to play catch […]
