It’s about time some of the fantasy studs broke out this year. This week has some matchups to watch. If you ‘bought low’ on guys like Ryan Grant and Maurice Jones-Drew, picked up Deuce McAllister or drafted Bernard Berrian for depth, this week should show you what they’re worth. For those of you who may…… Continue reading Week 6 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

A Fool and His Money in Week 5
Chadam and Nick had a rough weekend. Nick was swamped last week trying to put together a fantasy lineup that could stop my crushing force of a team in our shared fantasy football league. Unfortunately for Nick, it looks like his efforts were in vain. Chadam, on the other hand, spent the entire weekend crying…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 5
Week 5 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
I am not sure who won the VP debate last night. Both political parties seem to believe their candidate stepped up to the plate. The NFL is still pretty split in making a decision this election year. I do know that Al Davis likes Sarah Palin — mostly because he believes she’s youthful and has…… Continue reading Week 5 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Super Snags from Week 4
Was 2008 the year to have the fifth pick in fantasy football? So far this season, it would seem that the later draft picks have gone unscathed while the early drafters suffered some major blows to their studs. Owners have had to make due with their depth from the middle rounds, the true test of…… Continue reading On the Wire: Waiver Wire Super Snags from Week 4
Week 3 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Obviously, things change in fantasy football. There’s no Tom Brady, and therefore, no Randy Moss. Offenses in Seattle, Cincinnati and Cleveland are in shambles. Jacksonville keeps turning it over, and the Denver Broncos might have the most explosive offense of 2008. Shanny, we knew you had it in you. I won’t even say that I…… Continue reading Week 3 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Saviors from Week 1
A disastrous and tragic Week 1 has left plenty of teams hurting for new talent. Was there a group shot on the cover of Madden this year? Since Week 1 is always the best time to grab the waiver wire studs AND since this week was full of injuries and failures, this week’s waiver wire…… Continue reading On the Wire: Waiver Wire Saviors from Week 1
Expert League Team Retrospective: Fantasy Website Drunken Pirate Slapfight Expert League
About a month ago, I completed an expert draft with several fantasy football analysts and bloggers. The draft took almost the entire month of July because it was conducted with a 10-hour timer for each pick on MyFantasyLeague.com for those of us with day jobs. Psh, day jobs. The results of this draft, although mentioned…… Continue reading Expert League Team Retrospective: Fantasy Website Drunken Pirate Slapfight Expert League
Jeremy Shockey traded to Saints, gets fantasy bump
The Jason Taylor trade that was rumored but always “danced around” by the Dolphins seemed like it was never going to happen until it did on Sunday. Little did we know yesterday that the bigger fantasy football news was still to come this week. The other much-rumored trade of disgruntled New York Giant Jeremy Shockey…… Continue reading Jeremy Shockey traded to Saints, gets fantasy bump
The Difference Between a RB1 and RB2
When we talk about players as being RB1 or RB2 caliber, we are not trying to confuse you. Okay. Okay. Well, maybe we are just a tiny bit, but that’s a small satisfaction of mine. I have to compensate for all the spammy emails I get from Russia that make me feel “small,” okay? There…… Continue reading The Difference Between a RB1 and RB2
Drafting Your Fantasy Running Backs: The Details to Consider in 2008
If breaking down the details for this year’s fantasy running backs doesn’t make you want to take LaDainian Tomlinson first overall in your re-draft league, I don’t know what will. Seriously, people. When you’re talking fantasy running backs, what separates the vets from the noobs is consideration of a few minor factors beyond how high-powered…… Continue reading Drafting Your Fantasy Running Backs: The Details to Consider in 2008
