Calvin Johnson (credits below) Let's start with a solemn goodbye to Al Davis.  In his later days he was a punchline, but no history of the NFL can exist without devoting a significant portion to Al Davis.  To put it simply, he was at times a coach, general manager, and

Ryan Fitzpatrick (credits below) QB Sit: Ryan Fitzpatrick, Buffalo Bills (Week 5: Philadelphia) Fitzpatrick has had three good games and one bad game.  The good games all came against teams that rank in the top ten of most fantasy points allowed to opposing QB’s.  The bad game came against a

Jimmy Graham (credits below) 1) JIMMY GRAHAM (@ CAR)- Graham is on fire right now posting a 10 catch 132-yard performance last week against the Jags. He also posted a TD in the contest while being targeted 14 times. Look for his success to continue as I do not see Carolina
