Before the season, those that drafted Chris Johnson probably had dreams of playing for their fantasy championship. Unfortunately, the former 2,000 yard runner has been more of a nightmare thus far. Johnson has been one of the most coveted fantasy players of the past two years. After breaking out with a 2,006 yard rushing season [...]

If you drafted Titans receiver Kenny Britt, chances are you were doing well in your fantasy league. That is, until Week 3.

By ⋅ September 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Are the Bengals the Worst Fantasy Football Team?

By ⋅ September 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Sept. 8 marked the beginning of two things: the NFL season and fantasy football. While fantasy football success does not always translate to wins for NFL teams, it means there is productivity on offense.

What’s Wrong with Ichiro?

By ⋅ July 22, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Back in spring training, a buddy of mine asked me whether I thought Ichiro Suzuki would have another 200-hit season. I paused before responding, but only because I couldn’t think of the best way to explain what I expected out of Ichiro this year. My response was: “Does a bear crap in the woods?” (Note: [...]

Give Up on Adam Dunn, But Give These Three Players a Shot

By ⋅ July 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In sports, championships are won on the field and not on paper. If the names in the program were all that mattered then the St. Louis Rams would have won the 2001 Super Bowl, the New England Patriots would have shut Mercury Morris up with a 19-0 season and Vancouver might still be in one [...]
