I don’t get excited about who “won” the draft. I get excited about who I’ll draft for my fantasy football team. When it comes to fantasy relevance, the first round didn’t overwhelm us. The 2011 draft set a record for defensive linemen taken in the first round with 12, but it’s hard to say that…… Continue reading Pondering Christian Ponder: NFL Draft 2011 First Round Fantasy Football Gut Reactions

Believe it or not: Jags, DHB, LeGarrette Blount come alive while Jamaal Charles, Foster, Lloyd showoff in Week 8
There are a few head-scratchers in this mix. So don’t get too excited on the waiver wire, but here are a few of the week’s top performers. David Garrard, QB, Jaguars: 260 yards, 4 TDs, 1 fumble, 2 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD vs. Cowboys Unfortunately, you can’t trust Garrard. Ever.

Believe it or not: Brandon Lloyd, Hakeem Nicks Prove They Are Legit and More Top Scores from Week 5
This week’s top performers weren’t too surprising. A few of them we’ve heard of before, and a few of them have already been consistently working their way towards greatness over the first four weeks of the season. Then, there are the defenses. Matt Forte, Bears RB: 166 yards, 2 TDs, 2 catches for 22 yards…… Continue reading Believe it or not: Brandon Lloyd, Hakeem Nicks Prove They Are Legit and More Top Scores from Week 5
Why Jahvid Best is the Best
With a name like Best, you should have known he was going to be good, but this video might also have helped clue you in on his talent. http://youtu.be/dl6M1jSZcto You can only blame yourself for not getting a piece of this guy in your own fantasy football draft. I’ve heard people compare him to Chris…… Continue reading Why Jahvid Best is the Best
Believe it or not: Jahvid “THE” Best, Jason Snelling, LeSean McCoy, Jay Cutler and More Top Scorers from Week 2
This week was not a good week to bench Jay Cutler or Jahvid Best. I have Jay Cutler as my QB1 in two leagues, but I chose to bench him in one of the two to “play it safe” with Favre. I hate it when I play it safe. I hate it even more when…… Continue reading Believe it or not: Jahvid “THE” Best, Jason Snelling, LeSean McCoy, Jay Cutler and More Top Scorers from Week 2
Now about that Calvin Johnson catch
Was a touchdown (and, therefore, six fantasy points, which is really what we care about here) stolen from Megatron this week by the refs? I know there has been plenty of discussion this week about how goofy the rules are surrounding completing a catch in the end zone, and I agree that those rules could…… Continue reading Now about that Calvin Johnson catch
THERE IS FOOTBALL TONIGHT
I’VE BEEN TYPING IN ALL CAPS FOR THE LAST 12 HOURS. I CAN’T STOP. TONIGHT IS FOOTBALL. THE NFL IS BACK…BACK, BABY! OH, THERE IS A BUTTON TO TURN THIS OFF? Ahhhh, well, that is better. I just thought it was an adrenaline thing. Welcome to Week 1. Tonight, the Saints and the Vikings play…… Continue reading THERE IS FOOTBALL TONIGHT
Martz be crazy: Why you should draft your Bears this season
As we await the Chicago Bears debut tonight in preseason action, I can’t wait to see if their little offseason experiment worked. When it comes to offense, Mike Martz is a kamikaze. His “leap of faith” system is as likely to blow up on a game-by-game basis as it is to succeed. While respected at…… Continue reading Martz be crazy: Why you should draft your Bears this season
Brett Favre made me do it
I told myself I wasn’t going to do this. After the Saints won the Super Bowl, I wanted to take a little more time off than usual from blogging this offseason. So I decided to wait until Brett Favre had officially let his inner child back out of the bag and committed to one more…… Continue reading Brett Favre made me do it
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
