Early Season Reactions: Week 1
Week 1 has come and gone, leaving a tremendous amount of fantasy overreaction in it's dust. Is Cam Newton now a Top 5 QB? It's not likely, but that doesn't make him an immediate sell, especially if you play in a Dynasty league.

Nature of the Beast - Week 6 Review

Some odd games in Week 6.  Tom Brady throws 5 Touchdowns in the 2nd quarter of a 59-0 routing of the Titans.
