Really Neat or Take a Seat: Week 10

7th of November, 2012

Tight ends are becoming just as mysterious as kickers. “Dude, I just picked up Dennis Pitta!” says Thomas after Week 1. “Man, I’m really excited about Scott Chandler,” mentions Thomas after Week 4. “Bro, check out my tight end I just got – Brandon Myers!” exclaims Thomas after Week 9. The tight end carousel is […]

Week 9 By the Numbers

6th of November, 2012

Jamaal Charles owners walked away from Week 8 scratching their heads. It was a matchup that looked great on paper, but Oakland was able to hold the Chiefs’ running back to just 10 total yards.  Was it a sound performance by the Raiders, or just a poor game plan by the Chiefs coaching staff? I […]

Reaction Monday: The NFL Roller Coaster

5th of November, 2012

Every Autumn Sunday is a roller coaster. You strap in (on your couch), slowly ascend up the opening hill (watch pre-game shows and go on Twitter for start/sit opinions) and then once you hit the apex of the hill (1:00PM EST), you start. It’s go time. If you follow me on Twitter, you know I […]

Playing Probability: A Mid-Season Late-Round Quarterback Report

3rd of November, 2012

I wrote The Late Round Quarterback because I wanted to share a secret. It started last October. I needed a little spark to my every day work, so I opened up a Word document and just started writing. Chapter headlines turned to actual content, and the white space in my document became crammed with tables […]

Rivers and Romo — Will Either Bounce Back?

2nd of November, 2012

Coming into the season, Tony Romo and Philip Rivers were low-end No. 1 quarterbacks in 12-team, one-quarterback leagues. Those of you who subscribe to this site’s motto — grabbing a starting quarterback late in fantasy drafts — may very well have ended up with one of these two guys. Well, there is no other way […]

Current Exchange Rates: Week 9

1st of November, 2012

Perception: How you see something given the available information. It’s probably the single most important word in talks of trades and “buy low” , “sell high” type guys. It’s amazing how our perception of a player can change on a weekly basis. I wrote about perception and overreaction over at MrFantasyFreak.com, but I’ll build on […]

Really Neat or Take a Seat: Week 9

31st of October, 2012

Doug Martin kind of ruined my weekend. No, I wasn’t playing against him. And no, I have nothing against him. He was a “take a seat” guy last week. I really thought higher of the Vikings defense. I guess I should just be mad at them then, huh? Regardless, it was a screw up; a […]

Week 8 By the Numbers

30th of October, 2012

Dallas fans had little to cheer about on Sunday. After going down 23 points to their division rivals, “America’s Team” (which clearly isn’t true) did what they’ve been doing in recent times: They gave fans hope and just flushed it down the crapper. Dez Bryant’s long hands are the reason the Cowboys lost to the […]

Value: Why Do We Lose Sight After the Season Starts?

27th of October, 2012

There’s a purpose, or objective, associated with everything you do. You go to the gas station. Why? Because you need gas. Your car won’t run without it. You slip in your Madden disc for some gaming. Why? Because you want the enjoyment of seeing your beloved Browns actually win a game. Everything you do, there’s […]

Really Neat or Take a Seat: Week 8

24th of October, 2012

Look, I really don’t like to brag. I think it’s stupid, especially with the majority of fantasy football talk. But man did my picks look good last week. I told you to start the Tampa Bay offense, Santana Moss, Josh Gordon and Chris Johnson. I reminded you that Matthew Stafford could struggle, and said the […]
