With stagnant offenses, fielding a competitive team this week will be based on match-ups more than ever. Whether you are looking for a week-by-week team to draft or players to be scared of during this week, this is the place for you.

Bulls hang tough in season opener

By DANIEL PETRUCCELLI | Sep. 2, 2017

The last time the Buffalo Bulls (0-1) played a team coached by PJ Fleck, they got shut out 38-0 on national television. Fleck has now left the Mid-American Conference and is in charge of a power five school in the Minnesota Golden Gophers (1-0) and things were very different Thursday night. With five minutes left in the game, the Bulls were within seven and looked like they were going to derail the PJ Fleck hype train.
