I know I’ve been wrapping the season with several contests, which probably isn’t exactly the kind of heavy-hitting football analysis you crave, but…well, it is Super Bowl week. I’m also in the middle of finalizing the redesign to make Fools more awesome for 2010. (If you’re sober enough, you may notice most of the changes…… Continue reading Win a 52″ LCD and a spot on Rules of the League Season 2

Jacob founded Fantasy Football Fools in 2007 as a outlet for all the fantasy football conversations he couldn't have in-person. Since then...well, it's only gotten worse.
Spice up your postseason with Buffalo Wild Wings and 10 Yards on DVD
I’ve been meaning to get to a giveaway for some time now, but wrapping up my fantasy football leagues and trash-talking the ones in which I won the championship — it’s a requirement of any champion, you know — took more of my free hours than expected last week. With the fantasy season coming to…… Continue reading Spice up your postseason with Buffalo Wild Wings and 10 Yards on DVD
And while you’re kicking yourself for not drafting these guys in the first place
Here’s a look from Sports Data Hub at the top fantasy performers at each position as of the beginning of December. [Update: Link no longer available] We all wish we could go back to the draft and change something, whether we want to draft Miles Austin or not draft Matt Forte, but looking at the…… Continue reading And while you’re kicking yourself for not drafting these guys in the first place
On the Wire: Week 17 Pickups and Holiday Leftovers
As most of you are probably riding the team that got you to the final week of the fantasy season or done for the year, there won’t be an official “On the Wire” post this week. Instead, I’ll offer up some takes from around the Web. As always, FF Librarian is another one-stop shop for…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 17 Pickups and Holiday Leftovers
Foolish Thoughts on 2009 Season: So why didn’t we all draft Chris Johnson?
It’s insanity. That’s what fantasy football is when it comes to the playoffs. Jonathan Stewart and Jerome Harrison become huge fantasy steals in the final two games, and studs that you’ve depending on all season like Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers clam up and shut down early, even in blowout wins. At least Chris Johnson…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on 2009 Season: So why didn’t we all draft Chris Johnson?
Why the Colts Won’t Win the Super Bowl
I usually don’t write these kinds of posts, the ones that look at just one particular team’s chances in the NFL playoffs, but considering the fantasy season is winding to a close, I felt compelled to share my take on one of this week’s big storylines. In the midst of a 15-10 third quarter with…… Continue reading Why the Colts Won’t Win the Super Bowl
Week 16 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: All the marbles? But can’t I just keep at least one?
I really hope that the scoring change on Kurt Warner’s touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin didn’t burn you. That has to be the worst kind of pain in the world. It’s exciting to pull out your semifinal game by just a few points, and it’s exciting to have a chance at the championship. Having that…… Continue reading Week 16 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: All the marbles? But can’t I just keep at least one?
Buzztime Fantasy Football: Fun game even during the time you aren’t buzzed
A couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to play Buzztime Fantasy Football. If you’ve never played it at your local watering hole or seen it in real life before, it’s much like the trivia games you’re used to seeing at sports bars and restaurants. In order to play, you have to get a…… Continue reading Buzztime Fantasy Football: Fun game even during the time you aren’t buzzed
On the Wire: Week 16 Pickups That You Certainly Don’t Need This Week
It’s championship week. There’s not time for taking chances, looking for sleepers, or playing around with your roster. You know who your studs are, but these select few players could sub in if you have an absolute beast of a opponent, and if you are daring enough to bench a player you’ve trusted to get…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 16 Pickups That You Certainly Don’t Need This Week
Jerome Harrison’s Week 15 Fantasy Playoff Surprise: A Tragedy in Three Parts
There’s no way someone in the fantasy football playoffs was starting Jerome Harrison this week, is there? If so, you must have just received your Christmas miracle. Did you save an old woman trying to cross the street? Donate an organ to an ill friend? Give a dollar a day to a child in a…… Continue reading Jerome Harrison’s Week 15 Fantasy Playoff Surprise: A Tragedy in Three Parts
