By ⋅ November 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

So for those of you who had too much turkey and fell asleep for your annual Thanksgiving Day nap before you remembered to set your fantasy lineup for the week, I’m here to save the day. Ain’t that tryptophan a bitch sometimes!?! It’s Week 12, and while six teams have already put their games in [...]

Fantasy Fast Forward: NFL Week 5

By ⋅ October 8, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

“Everything seems to have a way of evening out for me.” About 15 years ago now on “Seinfeld,” there was an episode when Jerry had everything evening out for him. He lost a comedy gig, then five minutes later he got another one instead. Elaine threw 20 bucks out the window from Jerry’s wallet, only [...]

The next stop on the fantasy preview train brings us to the AFC South. This division has some of the best top shelf talent of them all, featuring one of the top 3 fantasy QBs in Peyton Manning, two of the top 4 fantasy RBs in Chris Johnson and Maurice Jones-Drew, two of the top [...]

TGIF: Fantasy Football Draft, 2010

By ⋅ January 9, 2010 ⋅ One comment

With the conclusion of the 2009 season, it is time to start looking ahead to the future. Although it may be too early to accurately project what the first round of the draft will be next season, it is still fun to think about. I have gotten into the habit of making my prediction for [...]

By ⋅ January 5, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

So here we are, 17 weeks of grueling combat later and the dust has finally settled. Only one man in your league’s is left standing, hopefully it was you. I can honestly tell you that I was not at the top of the mountain this season. I could list several reasons why my season ended [...]

Quarterback: A+ Tom Brady returned to his ’07 form against the Jaguars on Sunday, completing 23/26 passes for 267 yards and four touchdowns.  Brady played an almost perfect game on Sunday, as his 149.0 quarterback rating would indicate.

Pats Aim For Postseason Berth Against Jags

By ⋅ December 27, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Sure, Christmas might be over, but New England has the opportunity to give a last minute gift. An AFC East Title. The Patriots have the opportunity to win the division with a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags are fighting for a playoff spot of their own and are looking to run all over [...]

TGIF: What Has Become of Yahoo! Fantasy Football’s First Round?

By ⋅ November 20, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Now, I am focusing on just one provider of fantasy football, so the rankings may differ from other leagues. Every season, for people who are not that familiar with the game of fantasy football, we tend to lean heavily on the rankings. Even if you are a seasoned veteran, you can’t help but be influenced [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 6

By ⋅ October 20, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

I fell into one of the all-time classic fantasy football dilemmas this past week. It came in the form of two players: New England WR Wes Welker, and Denver QB Kyle Orton. In one league, I had both players starting. In another league, my opponent had both players starting. The unfortunate part was that coming [...]

TGIF: Jack Del Rio Benches Mike Sims-Walker and Screws Everyone Else

By ⋅ October 16, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

If you are one of the lucky ones to be in on the Mike Sims-Walker craze, then you have been benefiting from his fantastic play over the past few weeks. The second-year WR had hauled in 19 catches for 278 yds and 3 TD from week 2 to week 4. I myself am a Sims-Walker [...]

Fantasy Football Report: Week 3

By ⋅ September 30, 2009 ⋅ One comment

Is it just me, or does it seem like every NFL player is made of fragile porcelain? A week hasn’t gone by yet where we haven’t seen a major injury go down. Yes, football players get injured all the time, but over the last three weeks, players are suffering injuries that are causing them to [...]

TGIF: What Do You Do With the 5th Pick in 2009?

By ⋅ August 28, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

This question has been pondered by scholars and other great literary minds since…well, when player rankings came out a few months ago. Picture this scenario: you are “rewarded” with a top-5 pick in a fantasy football draft. Unfortunately, this is 2009 and you have the fifth overall pick. Let’s face it, you were banking on landing [...]

TGIF: Fun With Fantasy Football’s First Round

By ⋅ July 24, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s be honest for a moment. Trying to prep for a fantasy football draft is borderline useless. It is without question the most unpredictable of all the fantasy games (well, the major ones anyway…who cares about fantasy NASCAR?). Thanks to its small number of games and high risk of injury, attempting to project player stats [...]

Fantasy Football Focus: The Starting 11 – Top Dawgs

By ⋅ July 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been said that first impressions go a long way. You get introduced to someone for the first time and you accidentally spit on them when greeting them, they are going to remember that forever. Go on a job interview with a glob of hair gel hanging from your ear, a la Ben Stiller in [...]

Summer is just around the corner and for those interested already, the fantasy football season is upon us. Over at Yahoo! Sports, fantasy football leagues have already been forming for weeks and owners are foaming at the mouth for their chance to conduct the all important fantasy draft for the 2009 season.
