Week 14 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

You’re obviously starting your studs at this point. For many of you, it’s the playoffs. For others, it’s the last week before the playoffs (and you should hate that your championship game is in Week 17, where anything goes). This week, whether you are in the playoffs are about to be, is a critical one.…… Continue reading Week 14 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

Fantasy Football Fools’ Nick and Chadam pick the NFL spreads each week in “A Fool and His Money.” You don’t have to bet with them; in fact, it might be better for your wallet if you don’t. But for fantasy football players, Nick and Chadam provide a look inside the matchups from Vegas’ perspective and…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 9

Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

There’s a lot of hotness this week, and many players not on a bye might have their best performance of the season for you. My favorite starts are Willis McGahee against Oakland and Chris Johnson against the Colts but even Cedric Benson might break 100 yards this week. Cedric Benson — let that sink in…… Continue reading Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense

Who is the better Manning now? I think Peyton Manning put ex-lax in his brother’s Gatorade this week. It was time to shut up the critics. Peyton gets three touchdowns; Eli gets three picks. At least in fantasy, it looks like Peyton may have reclaimed his top spot on the Manning mantel for now. And…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 6: Last-second nonsense

A Fool and His Money in Week 6

“Just when I thought I was out…they pull me back in.” There are some crazily enticing lines this week that are making me open up my wallet again. Thanks, Vegas!

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

A Fool and His Money in Week 2

Well, my distrust in rookie QBs certainly worked out for me. I’m going back for more. No picks for the Falcons or Ravens this week either. I’ve also noted which bet is my favorite of the week, and coincidentally for Week 2, it’s the first one on the slate. Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 2

Fantasy Football Fools’ 2008 Average Joe Mock Draft

I know it’s a little late to be posting a mock draft. Believe me. I know you all drafted already — well, hopefully, you drafted already. I wish I could have gotten this one edited sooner, but the rush of preseason football and real drafts took hold of me and delayed the posting. Next time,…… Continue reading Fantasy Football Fools’ 2008 Average Joe Mock Draft

Brandon Marshall now suspended only one game, lights fantasy skyrocket

If you haven’t drafted yet, I’m sorry. Life just isn’t fair. Cry me a river and try hosting a party in a cave or under a rock so that the rest of your league doesn’t hear this news. If you have drafted, you just might be sitting on fantasy gold if you snagged Brandon Marshall…… Continue reading Brandon Marshall now suspended only one game, lights fantasy skyrocket
