The Browns have allowed a 46.4 QBR on throws to the right side of the offense where Ward is stationed, the best mark for any team. According to the numbers at Pro Football Reference, Ward has turned opposing quarterbacks into sub-replacement passers when they throw in his direction. ...
Fantasy outlook: Tyler Bertuzzi feels like a natural replacement for Michael Bunting on the top line and could be in for big fantasy boost with his new linemates. Bold prediction: Toronto wins two playoff rounds. 7. Dallas Stars Last season: 47-21-14, 108 points. Lost in Wes...
