There are instances, like last week, where you take huge gambles with your fantasy football team. When a tiebreaker comes down to total points scored, and you’re a significant number of points behind your biggest competition, you need big play performers to take you over the edge. And if you’ve gotten over the hump and […]
You’ve developed a relationship with plenty of NFL players over the years through fantasy football. Deny it all you want, but I can guarantee you there’s someone on your team, right now, that you’d take a bullet for. You drafted Jamaal Charles in 2009. And since then, you’ve had dinners together, saw a couple of […]
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 […]
Raise your hand if you benched Matthew Stafford this week. Don’t worry, my hand is raised too. Before you destroy me for even owning Stafford, I got him in a late-round last year in a keeper league. I kept him for $4 of my $200 auction budget this season. Now that that’s out of the […]

With so much preparation, expert analysis and researching of fantasy players in August, I figured “Hey, maybe I should talk about some of the idiotic claims people are making about running backs this year.” I did this exercise about a month ago with receivers, so instead of any sort of interesting preface or introduction, I’ll […]
The concern over drafting a running back in the first round is rising. With the injury to Ryan Mathews, the knee problems with Trent Richardson and the off-the-field concerns with Marshawn Lynch…we’re scared. We don’t want to draft a player that’s not going to produce first round numbers. However, we tend to forget that every […]
Mike Brown finally gave in. He traded Carson Palmer to Oakland. 2011 marked the year that the Carson Palmer era began in Oakland. It wasn’t the prettiest quarterback performance we’d ever seen. But to be fair, he didn’t have OTAs, a training camp, or a pre-season. So should we really conclude his value by looking […]
