You know what’s worse than byes? Injuries. And we got a bunch of them against this week with owners losing Julio Jones and Owen Daniels. Jones obviously hurts the most as a highly drafted WR1. There are a few options to replace him, but…it just won’t be the same, you know? Matchups gets things started…… Continue reading Week 6 Starts and Sits: Anything nice to say about Chris Johnson?

Fantasy Football Trade Etiquette: Matthew Berry’s 6 Rules, When is Your Word Final?
http://youtu.be/-HV0xBeHzjM Trades can get messy. Exhibit A: this conversation about a trade taken from an ESPN message board. Matthew Berry jumped on a soapbox this week to talk about trade etiquette, and the transgressions he points out got me thinking. Most leagues really don’t talk about the rules or ethics of trading outside of whether…… Continue reading Fantasy Football Trade Etiquette: Matthew Berry’s 6 Rules, When is Your Word Final?
Week 6 Pickups: Are you Keenan on these Chargers?
Forgive me for the punny title. I didn’t get a lot of sleep this weekend, and I think I’m still operating on Oakland time. But that said…don’t you want four time slots of NFL football EVERY Sunday? Personally, I loved being able to go straight into another one after Sunday Night Football wrapped up, even…… Continue reading Week 6 Pickups: Are you Keenan on these Chargers?
Week 5 Starts and Sneaky Pickups
Yes, yes. We never got to pickups this week. But if it’s any consolation, we didn’t have much to work with. Danny Woodhead is stashed in many a league and has been mentioned previously. Rashad Jennings isn’t exactly exciting. Zac Stacy makes for a sneaky play or stash this week as he could potentially get…… Continue reading Week 5 Starts and Sneaky Pickups
Week 4 Starts: Please Pass, Pryor
As things go from sad to sadder this week, we enter into the bye week madness. Matchups has you covered with a wealth on in-depth advice on how things will play out Sunday. As Keepers explains this week, start your Cowboys versus the Chargers, and the Chiefs D. Looking at doing some trades to escape…… Continue reading Week 4 Starts: Please Pass, Pryor
Week 4 Pickups: Belated Bilal
We’re late with our pickups this week. I’m on a bit of a vacation, and travel interfered. But that said, there isn’t and/or wasn’t much to get excited about this week on the waiver wire. Josh Gordon is the darling of Week 3, but I have to assume he’s been stashed on someone’s bench since…… Continue reading Week 4 Pickups: Belated Bilal
Week 3 Starts and Sits: Poor Browns, the Vikings will destroy you
Keepers has some nice suggestions this week, so I thought I’d share the full vid of Matt Ufford’s talents. I do not agree with jumping off the Michael Vick train, though he had a rough night tonight. I’m still a believer. All aboard. But can we all be done with Ryan Mathews now? Get your…… Continue reading Week 3 Starts and Sits: Poor Browns, the Vikings will destroy you
Trent Richardson is an Indianapolis Colt
Yes, you’ve heard. The Cleveland Browns have traded Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts. When I first heard the news, I thought it was a mistake, but it seems the Browns are serious about wanting to be terrible this season. The fallout for fantasy owners is pretty obvious. The Browns now become a less threatening…… Continue reading Trent Richardson is an Indianapolis Colt
Week 3 Pickups: Eddie Royal takes the crown
It’s been another ugly week. After there wasn’t much to do on the waiver wire in Week 1 and 2, I was disappointed that we really didn’t get any more talent bubbling up the top for Week 3. I wouldn’t bet an eyebrow on any of these guys. If you didn’t get Marlon Brown last…… Continue reading Week 3 Pickups: Eddie Royal takes the crown
Week 2 Starts: What do we know now?
Week 2 gives us a little more clarity, but a number of poor showings have us concerned. I wouldn’t go betting an eyebrow on the outcome of any of your fantasy performances. My big roster question comes down to whether I can trust T.Y. Hilton to get involved this week. Despite all the matchup love…… Continue reading Week 2 Starts: What do we know now?
