Rumour vs. report
Not every headline deserves the same reaction. A beat reporter who covers one locker room every day is the gold standard; a national insider is usually right but occasionally carrying someone's negotiation; an aggregator quoting an aggregator is weather. Every item here links to the original outlet so you can judge the sourcing yourself — that's deliberate, and it's why the source name sits under every headline.
Act on injury news instantly — waiver value evaporates in minutes, and being an hour early on a backup running back wins weeks. Act on trade and signing rumours slowly — most die quietly, and the market overreacts both ways. If a rumour does break real, check what it means in numbers on the Rankings board before your league-mates do.
