Week 13 Starts: Be thankful you made it this far

We’ll keep things short and sweet this week so you can get back to enjoying those leftovers. We didn’t cover waiver wire picks this week because turkey is distracting, but you can peruse the late additions suggested by FantasyPros, ESPN, Rotoworld, and Keepers. Buffalo Bills D/ST…oh, how I wish I could get you. When in…… Continue reading Week 13 Starts: Be thankful you made it this far

Sorry, Kolb. Michael Vick starts in Philadelphia after all

Sometimes you draft poorly. I’m told it happens. You may end up with a worthless set of running backs — guys who got too old without letting you know that you should remove them from your draft board. Maybe you ended up with a horrible corps of wide receivers — the worst of the worst…… Continue reading Sorry, Kolb. Michael Vick starts in Philadelphia after all

Foolish Thoughts: Marc Bulger and Sunday Night Sadness

Baseball stole our Sunday Night Football. How is that fair? Give it back, World Series. I demand it. I’m fine with baseball as long as I don’t have to sit through an entire game. In my opinion, it should be played in highlight form, jumping to the major parts and leaving out all the rest.…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Marc Bulger and Sunday Night Sadness

Starting Beanie Wells over Andre Johnson: Smart Play or Crazy Talk?

In a fantasy football group I participate in each week, Fantasy Football Fanatics on LinkedIn, I recommended going with Beanie Wells in a flex spot over Andre Johnson this week. Am I crazy or is this smart strategy? I’m going with the numbers here. My argument for going with Beanie: There is definitely a huge…… Continue reading Starting Beanie Wells over Andre Johnson: Smart Play or Crazy Talk?

On the Wire: Week 8 Pickups, Sleepers, Sadness and Fantasy Basketball

Another critical bye week hits us right where it hurts, in the middle of the season. At least this week provides us with a few more players that have value from now until the end of the season. If anyone was silly enough not to pick up Miles Austin after I talked about him for…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 8 Pickups, Sleepers, Sadness and Fantasy Basketball

The real concern with T.O.’s lack of production thus far

Some will say not to get rid of the superstar wide receiver, but Terrell Owens’ time to make an impact in Buffalo is running out. As the season goes on and the weather in Buffalo turns colder, the Bills’ passing game is at the mercy of the elements. For the past two years, Lee Evans…… Continue reading The real concern with T.O.’s lack of production thus far

Shameless Plugging: Surprising Receivers and Disappointing Starts

While imagining the possibilities of Vince Young returning to his starting job — Hey, it could happen… Maybe? In special packages? — I contributed to a few other articles around the Web that I just wanted to share. While a little outdated after Laurent Robinson’s injury this week, I participated in the Fourth & 1…… Continue reading Shameless Plugging: Surprising Receivers and Disappointing Starts

Foolish Thoughts: The Brady Bench, Law of Averages and Josh Johnson

Since graduating college, I’ve occasionally had a dream that I was still taking finals. In the dream, I wake up and realize that I have a final that very day, but it’s for a class that I didn’t know I was taking and haven’t attended even one day that semester. Right about the time that…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: The Brady Bench, Law of Averages and Josh Johnson

Foolish Thoughts: They aren’t who we thought they were

http://youtu.be/cDAq5tyfk9E Oh, Week 1, you cruel, cruel mistress. Just when we think we have it all figured out, the perfect team, the perfect season, you bring us back to reality. Yes, this week we had football — real NFL football. Football that counted! But we also saw how the offseason, that tricky devil that fills…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: They aren’t who we thought they were

Guest Post: 2009 NFL preview from a fantasy outsider

This guest post comes to Fantasy Football Fools from Eric Amzallag of sports pick site UnlockedSports.com. Rather than stay in our fantasy bubble this season, I thought taking a look at the playoff picks from a relative fantasy outsider would be a nice jump start to the conversation — since, inevitably, my Super Bowl and…… Continue reading Guest Post: 2009 NFL preview from a fantasy outsider
