data-mm-id=”_gp4y7d3nw”>LeBron James says a lot of things. Everything he says is heavily scrutinized. There might be a big buzzer that goes off in Skip Bayless' house when the Los Angeles Lakers star does something controversial so the little guy can slide down a fire pole and tweet about it. Even LeBron's most ardent supporters would admit that he's a BSer. An aggrandizer. A somewhat unreliable narrator. Remember when he was asked to provide any detail about the Godfather movies, which he claimed to be watching on a weekly basis?James sends some odd messages out into the world and sometimes those come on wine nights. He can be corny and cringeworthy and all the other things a dad can be. So with all of that as background, let's dive into his late-night claim that h…

We are here to dig into the toughest decisions you may be facing for your fantasy matchup this week and give you answers. Some of those answers may even be right! Presenting our Week 3 start 'em, sit 'em calls. D'Andre Swift, RB, Philadelphia Eagles Swift has long been a fantasy trap because he is a dual-threat back with big-play ability. Yet he has consistently disappointed as injuries, coaching decisions, and some subpar vision have all contributed to a falling fantasy stock in recent years. He did nothing in his first game with the Philadelphia Eagles and we thought it would be another year of the same thing for Sw…

data-mm-id=”_izfq7192k”>Marquez Valdes-Scantling has been the poster child for the Kansas City Chiefs' issues at wide receiver this season. The 29-year-old was plagued by drops and not performing when his team needed it the most.

The Chiefs faced third-and-9 from their 46-yard line while leading the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 with 2:19 remaining in the fourth quarter.
