Week 2 Starts to Sit Well With Me: Milk Was a Bad Choice

Is your fantasy team starting to make you feel like this? http://youtu.be/2FM3Em7FIOc It’s getting a little rough out of there after only one week of play. So how about we get to a better place in Week 2? For the most part, you should stick to your guns this week and see if your team…… Continue reading Week 2 Starts to Sit Well With Me: Milk Was a Bad Choice

Turner looked slow and unable to break even arm tackles. He isn't a threat to contribute in the passing game, so you're only real hope is that he picks up enough touchdowns to stay fantasy relevant. The Falcons had eight snaps inside the Chiefs' 10 yard line on Sunday and Turner had one carry. If… Continue reading Stick a fork in Michael Turner

On that note, I'll highlight a great point he made this preseason in explaining recency bias in terms of calling players injury prone.  In many cases, our brains are fooling us. The… Continue reading Injuries are more random than your brain might think

Is Dallas Cowboys WR Kevin Ogletree 2012’s Laurent Robinson?

After 8 catches, 114 yards, and 2 touchdowns against the Giants, you might be rushing out to claim Kevin Ogletree  on the waiver wire as this year’s Laurent Robinson. Not so fast. http://twitter.com/FantasyBuddha/status/243564595195834369 While he’s certainly proven he can perform when called upon, Ogletree’s been on the Cowboys’ roster long enough and been named an…… Continue reading Is Dallas Cowboys WR Kevin Ogletree 2012’s Laurent Robinson?
