Free Agency's Fantasy Implications
Fantasy isn’t everything, I get it. Players want to get paid, coaches want insurance plans for players. But this is a fantasy article and I want to dive into some Free Agent signings that were not great for Fantasy, and some that were. Whether it be for the player or for players on the team, I’m taking into account the position players were in last year at the end of the season going into this season and comparing it the positions thy are in now.

Can Pittsburgh Survive the Cold Off-Season?
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been known to be the most dominant team to play on Sunday’s in the AFC North Division. Their symbolic steel curtain defense has won the hearts and souls of many football advocates across the American continent. To aid in their possessive type of scheme, the Steelers were one of the teams who has found a way to have a balanced offense as well. With the help of Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell and starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers have experienced more success than most NFL teams. After the long holdout of Le’Veon Bell, during the 2018 off-season, the Steelers have been facing a continuation of distractions, which ultimately showed in their on the field performances throughout the 2018 season.

Why "AB" to "Big D" Was Never Really a "Thing"
First off and before anything else is said, let's make this clear, Antonio Tavaris Brown is the best wide receiver in the NFL right now. Even at 30 years old, this is a fact, and with the way he plays the game, he should be that for at least the next three seasons. Perhaps, that's why the Raiders were so comfortable giving him three years of new money, 50 million potentially with a whopping 30 million dollars in new guarantees.

Lee Morris Is Oklahoma's Unheralded TD Tycoon
It seems Sooner Nation is ecstatic about the talent Oklahoma has on the offensive side of the football—as they should be. CeeDee Lamb is a contender for the 2019 Biletnikoff Award. Grant Calcaterra had an unforgettable one-handed TD against Texas. Charleston Rambo provided a glimpse of hope against Alabama. Jadon Haselwood, Theo Wease, and Trejan Bridges are among the most talented incoming freshmen in the country (Austin Stogner was also one of the most highly coveted tight ends in the 2019 recruiting cycle); to say nothing of Mykel Jones (2016) and Jaquayln Crawford (2018), who were highly touted four star recruits in their respective cycles. Someone is missing though ... Oh yeah, the former walk-on, no-star recruit, Lee Morris.

Antonio Brown Bids Farewell
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been a team that has been under the microscope during the 2018 season. After an ongoing contract battle with their former starting running back, Le'Veon Bell, the Steelers locker room began to crumble into pieces. For the first time in years, members of the media were able to walk out of the Heinz field locker room with quotes full of emotions and opinions that were voiced about the team’s current condition. Head Coach Mike Tomlin was put in a temporary hot seat multiples times throughout the season due to the way the team was conducting themselves before the first game even begun. After their week one tie with the Cleveland Browns was etched into the stat books, football enthusiast across the league immediately picked up on the problems brewing in the steel city.

The Alliance of American Football kicked off this past weekend, and other than the fact that they have the official backing and blessing of the "NFL," they might be here to stay. Here's why:

College Football's Talking Heads Should STFU
Troy Aikman in 85, Jeff George in 86, JJ Watt, Nick Foles, and Ryan Mallett in 07, Baker Mayfield in 14, and Kyler Murray in 15—all transferred schools with multiple years of eligibility remaining. Every year hundreds of players seek to do the same thing: Go to a new school where they can receive an education and play football. Many of these student-athletes do so after just one year at their first school (in Bru McCoy's case, MUCH less than a year). Don't tell the old-timers, but THAT'S OKAY!
