For senior John Mahoney, walk-on safety and current president of the Notre Dame Walk-On Players’ Union — or “WOPU Nation,” as it is affectionately known — community has been an integral part of his football experience at Notre Dame. “The one thing I can really take from the experience is the WOPU Nation; it’s just

We’re getting down to the nitty gritty as the trade deadline approaches throughout fantasy football leagues. Coming off yet another massively entertaining weekend of NFL action — whether that entertainment came via Tom Brady and the Buccaneers getting embarrassed or from the Jets possibly taking an intentional dive to increase their chances of drafting Trevor

Sam Ouhaj Must start: T.J. Hockenson, TE, Detroit Lions George Kittle and Zach Ertz are both hurt and are out presumably till the end of the season.

Sam Ouhaj Must play: Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers Justin Herbert has been on a tear since taking over the starting role in LA. My favorite to win OROY, Herbert perhaps is having the best rookie quarterback season we have seen since Patrick Mahomes (2018) and Dak Prescott (2016). While Herbert’s success has not

Week 2 of the NFL was filled with great comebacks, questionable play calls and unfortunately, a vast amount of injuries. In just Week 2 alone, there was a record-setting seven ACL tears in one day and a vast amount of other injuries. These injuries affected the likes of star running backs Christian McCaffery and Saquon

The first week of the NFL has concluded and with that, the first week of Fantasy Football. We saw great performances in players such as Ezekiel Elliott and Cam Newton, and not-so-great performances in players like Saquon Barkley and Michael Thomas. Granted, this is the first week of football and there are still fifteen games

The NFL Season begins this Thursday with the Chiefs against the Texans. In a world that we have seen decimated by COVID-19, football and other sports leagues are seen as a glimpse of happiness in these unprecedented times. The return of sports also leads to the return of Fantasy Sports! Drafts are occurring across the
