Week 6 fantasy pickups include Harry Douglas, Zac Stacy, Rueben Randle

While we are certainly hoping for the best for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones and his injured foot, it appears likely that the former Alabama star is going to miss the remainder of the 2013 season. Fellow wide receiver Roddy White has been …

Daniel Radcliffe is a fantasy football addict, has team named ‘Barkevious Mingo’s mother’
