Share this: After spending three of the last four weeks at short tracks, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is blowing things wide open this weekend, as drivers are set to compete in Sunday’s Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. The 2.66-mile oval in Alabama is the longest on the circuit, and routinely provides entertaining and action-packed racing. From a fantasy perspective, predicting races at tracks such as Talladega and Daytona International Speedway is a little easier compared to other tracks, as there isn’t much grey area when looking at drivers’ skills at restrictor-plate races.

Eric Decker Injury: Fantasy Football Impact Of Jets Star Going To Injured Reserve
New York Jets wide receiver Eric Decker has been placed on injured reserve because of a torn rotator cuff, the team announced Wednesday.

Decker’s absence means the Jets’ top receiver, Brandon Marshall, should have an even larger role in the offense. He had 12 receptions for 2... NESN.com
