Week 7 By the Numbers

24th of October, 2012

Arian Foster is out of this world. We’re all talking about Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees and what they’ve done over the last few weeks, but where’s the Arian love? He’s scored a touchdown in every game except for one. He’s already got 9 on the ground, which is 4 more than any other running […]

Fantasy Disappointments: Several Top Picks Off to Sluggish Starts

20th of October, 2012

Top picks are supposed to be among the elite performers in all of fantasy football. When you select a player in the first or second round, you’re expecting that guy to finish among the top players at his position. When early-round selections produce like they’re supposed to, they’re easy to take for granted. After all, […]

Current Exchange Rates: Week 7

18th of October, 2012

Week in and week out, we have no shortage of surprises. Week 6 was no different. Injuries and general craptastic or surprisingly good play all had a hand in making the week quite an interesting one. There was a good bit of shake up in the value of some players too, so let’s get right […]

Really Neat or Take a Seat: Week 7

17th of October, 2012

The word “neat” is one of the best descriptors in the entire English dictionary. “Hey, neat shirt, Thomas.” Am I being a sarcastic prick, or am I just an incredibly innocent individual trying to tell Thomas that his clothing is aesthetically enjoyable? Transfer this way of thinking to my weekly “Really Neat or Take a […]

Week 6 By the Numbers

16th of October, 2012

I love when crazy things happen in the NFL. You know, like two weeks ago when Brian Hartline went off. That‘s the kind of performance that makes me come back to the NFL and fantasy football. Those kind of games that make us scratch our heads, and sometimes, question humanity…I love them. They’re what make […]

Week 4 By the Numbers

3rd of October, 2012

I couldn’t help but smile as Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Drew Brees all put up statistically favorable numbers in Week 4. It gives those early-round quarterbackers hope. They think to themselves, “Hey, Colton (this is Colton’s head talking, by the way). You did a good job drafting Aaron Rodgers fourth overall. Go get yourself […]

Reaction Monday: Brian Hartline did what?

1st of October, 2012

I didn’t realize what Brian Hartline’s stat line looked like until he caught an 80-yard touchdown from Ryan Tannehill in the 4th quarter. And even after the touchdown occurred, I still didn’t believe it. How could Brian Hartline catch 12 passes for 253 yards and a touchdown against one of 2012’s best defenses? Better yet, […]

Really Neat or Take a Seat: Week 4

26th of September, 2012

I was wrong. Chris Johnson is not a good running back. He shouldn’t have been a first round draft pick, and he shouldn’t be someone you’re starting in your weekly fantasy lineup. I told people to draft him, and it was clearly incorrect direction. Look, you can’t be a good fantasy football manager if you […]

Week 3 By the Numbers

25th of September, 2012

Was it a catch? Was it an interception? It was an interception, idiots. I can guarantee you that when you look back at Week 3 of the 2012 NFL season, you won’t remember the three overtime games. And you won’t recall the Steelers’ defense collapsing in Oakland. You may even forget about Torrey Smith’s brilliant […]
