Our fourth divisional fantasy preview takes us to the NFC North, a division that features heated rivalries and is filled with top notch fantasy talent.

“To be or not to be; that is the question.” – Hamlet “To retire or not to retire; that is the question.” – Brett Favre For the third consecutive year, Old Man Favre is at it again. Two years ago, he retired from the Packers after they didn’t want to put up with this from [...]
Check your calendar. No, it’s not one of our April Fools Day posts. No, I’m not making a poor play on words and calling Brett Favre an old guy.

With just one week left before the playoffs are set, this is the final installment of the NFL’s weekly playoff hypotheticals.

The pieces are starting to fall into place. Five of the eight divisions have been officially clinched. Once powerful contenders (Giants, Broncos, Steelers) and teams that once had high expectations (Titans, Falcons, Panthers) are faltering, while newcomers (Saints, Bengals) are making headlines. In the NFC, only the Giants are on the outside looking in, while [...]
Just three weeks left until the playoffs are set. Speaking of three, only three teams have guaranteed themselves a playoff spot.
