Jeremy Hill in London

by

Remember when London use to host NFL games? Good times. We brought back those good times with a TBT interview with former Bengals running back Jeremy Hill.

In 2016 the Bengals hosted the Washington team (formerly Redskins) in a fun filled affair at Wembley stadium. The game ended in a 27-27 tie, with Hill scoring the last TD for the Bengals.
It was the second tie of the season, which hadn’t happened previously in 1997.

We were fortunate to interview Hill at the Saracens Rugby ground in North London where we talked to him about numerous NFL things.
We chatted about the rise of Fantasy football and how players deal with it, as well as if he plays Madden, and which RB he uses in games.

Lastly we touched on the big issue…who does he think is the best player in the game.
The answer might surprise you.

We will be uploaded interviews from previous NFL in London games throughout this season, as we wipe a tear away from our eyes and think about the season that would have been here.

Which game did you think was the best of the NFL in London series thus far?

Karen Falcon

by

What happens when you anger a Karen from Atlanta? She burns all her Falcons gear and gives you an ear full that’s what.

The Falcons are off to an atrocious season, and have been victim to more cumbacks than Jenna Jameson in the 90s. Matty Ice has been playing well, despite the fact his team continues to be crippled by injuries.

Not sure why someone would spend thousands on merch only to toss it into the flames a short time later. Don’t hate the players, hate the game.

The Falcons should bounce back in week 4 when they face the…Packers. Really, the Packers? Yeah-they’re going to be 0-4 next week.
Get your jerseys ready Atlanta, red and black might be burning on Monday morning.

Broken Niners

by

Eesh, what a time to be a 49ers fan. The practise squad is on the field, and some of the top players have been sidelined for who knows how long. They were able to pull off a victory against the lowly Giants with a squad of backups, but who knows how long that will last. Luckily for them, they play the even worse NY Jets in the late Sunday game.

Looking at the list of injuries, you wonder how long it will take for them to fully recover and get back to defending their NFC title. It doesn’t look like it this year.

Jimmy Garoppolo

The broken man is broken once again. Jimmy G struggles to stay healthy every season, and ankle injuries are like foxes, once they crap in your yard, they keep coming back.

George Kittle

Sign new contract, get injured. It’s like 2020 is involved in the NFL! Kittle will rebound from his knee injury, but he’ll still need to take it slow.

Raheem Mostert

Another Niner, another ankle. San Fran is quickly speeding through their RBs, and you wonder how many of them will make it until the end of the season.

Tevin Coleman

Another RB with another ankle injury. They’re in silicon valley, surely they can just 3D print some of these parts for the team to get them back out there.

Ahkello Witherspoon

Did you know he was Reese Witherspoons son? He’s not, but Niners fans will believe anything if it gets their team back. He’s one of 2 CBs with a pulled hammy.

The 49ers are going to need to pull it together if they want to even think of contending this year. There’s always one team who takes the season injury award, and sadly this season it looks like San Fran.

 

Week 3 Upsets

by

Which losers in waiting will become upset masters in Week 3 of the NFL? Wade McElwain puts his tips together to give you a few options for Sunday.

Week 2 was full of injuries, which means week 3 has the potential for some explosive upsets. Which ones does he like the most?

In week 2 Wade said to bet on the Giants to upset the Bears (which they almost did)-so Wade decided not to bet on the Bears this week, even though he does like their chances versus the sloppy Falcons this week.

DraftKings Tips

by

Are you ready for some fantasy NFL for Week 3? The way that 2020 has been going, fantasy has been a hell of a lot better than reality. I’m here to give you some of my top tips for Sunday in the NFL.

Week 2 was a bit of a shit show, as teams were decimated by injuries to key people. While that doesn’t look good for the overall fantasy outlook, it does mean that some hidden gems could help make your DraftKings line-up this week. Here are some of my top tips to get you through week 3.

QBs

Nick Mullens $5100

Jimmy G and 40% of the 49ers squad is off this week, but it’s ok because they are playing the Giants.
I actually like the Giants to win this game, but that doesn’t matter that much in this pick. Mullens is a noodle armed backup that is surprisingly accurate in short to medium yardage. He won’t have much to throw to, but he will be able to get a few points off that crummy New York D.

Justin Herbert $5900

I really like this kid, he impressed last week and was fortunate enough not to get stabbed on the lung by the team doctor. Herbert is facing a weak Carolina D, and should be able to exploit some big holes & rack up some big points. For $5900 he’s a steal.

RBs

Jonathan Taylor $7000

This rookie has been ripping it up for the Colts, and he should find huge yardage against the garbage bag Jets. He’s well worth the $7k, as he will probably factor in at least 2 scores today.

Dion Lewis $5300

Saquon is gone, and the new guy is still getting use to the system, so look to see Lewis a lot in this game. The 49ers D is still fast enough to get to Jones, so he will need an option to toss the ball off easily.

WRs

TY Hilton $5600

Phillip Rivers and the Colts look to dismantle the Jets, so we should see TY Hilton ripping apart that ravaged secondary. At $5600 he is quite the steal.

Anthony Miller $4900

The Bears will look to exploit the big holes in Atlanta, and the speedy Miller has been a frequent target for Trubisky. This game should have a lot of points, so Miller will probably score a TD in this game.

TEs

Austin Hooper $4400

The Browns will be looking to smack up some points on Washington, and they are notoriously bad at covering the TE position. Look for Hooper to blast his way into the end zone in this game.

Hunter Henry $4800

A little pricier, but Henry will be a big target for Herbert in this game. He is a key player in redbone touches, and should factor heavily in this game.

DEF

Buccaneers $3700

These guys are fast, so when faced with an O line like that of the Broncos with a backup QB, they should factor heavily in getting to the QB. Loads of sacks in this one.

Make sure you join our DraftKings League, so that you can play for free and cash every week.
