Fantasy players with a true allegiance to an NFL team know the feeling. Even when you destroy opponents in the fantasy arena, your Sunday is anything but fulfilled when your favorite NFL team loses. Especially when that loss comes to the Oakland Raiders. I’m still in denial. How does Ben Roethlisberger throw for 384 yards […]
Reggie Bush’s journey to fantasy stardom has resembled one of his highlight reel runs from his days at USC: long, winding and astounding. In his time as a Trojan, Bush was nothing short of remarkable. Simply put: he was one of the most electrifying running backs in the history of college football. Every time Bush […]
Oh, you didn’t start Sam Bradford last week? And you decided to bench Trent Richardson? Not to fear. This happens every year. The first few weeks of a fantasy football season are the hardest to predict because the league is so fickle. I mean, did you really have Arizona’s defense playing as well as it […]
It was clear to me that my audience didn’t understand the “You’re Doing it Wrong” articles that I had planned to post each week. While some liked the read from last week, retweeting it and letting me know it was enjoyable, others just couldn’t comprehend the cynical concept. “You’re not doing it wrong if you […]
Explaining the entire concept of my fantasy football philosophy in a few 140-character tweets just doesn’t work. That’s why I wrote a book. It’s not as though I believe I’ve created something so in depth that it just can’t be comprehended. It’s that, no matter what I say, counterarguments will be made. Especially when these […]
I’ve come to the realization that predicting Week 1 outcomes is like predicting the weather in a Midwest City. Last week was difficult. If you missed my “Really Neat or Take a Seat” column for Week 1, then you failed to see that I told you to bench Demaryius Thomas and Mike Wallace, and start […]
People like to tell me that numbers don’t tell an entire story. And while I wholeheartedly agree, I still see a huge importance in looking at numbers, especially from a football and fantasy football perspective. The whole concept of The Late Round Quarterback is based on the fact that, while quarterback fantasy play is trending […]
There was one Dallas Cowboy that blew up my Twitter feed last night. It wasn’t Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, DeMarco Murray or Miles Austin. And it wasn’t Jason Witten and his spleen. It was Kevin Ogltree. Who? If you’re a fantasy football and/or NFL nerd, you know the guy. But if you’re a casual watcher, […]
We all wish we had drafted Olandis Gary in 1999. But nobody can predict a future that, even when it becomes the past, still seems completely ridiculous. Plenty of players break into standard fantasy football discussions each year. Some are smaller, like Todd Heap in 2002, while others are massive, like Brandon Lloyd in 2010. […]
Christian Ponder is still my quarterback. But Ben Roethlisberger is my starting one. That’s right. Just one day after thinking the fantasy world was over, I landed the big-domed Roethlisberger in a lackluster deal. I gave: Jonathan Dwyer, Alex Smith, Kendall Wright I received: Ben Roethlisberger My lineup in the 16-team league is now: QB […]
