Last week, in the process of participating in a mock draft with several other fantasy football writers from the Interwebs, I got stuck inside of a random ESPN draft outside of the one we were using for the official mock draft. After the first couple of picks, which I made as quick reactions since I…… Continue reading Random ESPN Mock Draft: Results May Vary

How about that Rundown: Things you should have known before the 2009 NFL Draft

Houshmandzadeh upgrades Seahawks, downgrades self
With the departure of Bobby Engram to free agency, Seattle was hurting for a reliable target — especially one who wasn’t also hurting like most of Seattle’s receiving corps. Playmaker Deion Branch has been too injury-prone during his time with the team, and none of the Seahawks’ young prospects showed that special spark last season when…… Continue reading Houshmandzadeh upgrades Seahawks, downgrades self

Foolish Thoughts on Week 10: Enter the tight end zone
Do yourself a favor and forget everything that happened in the first half of the season. As we’ve seen from the past two weeks, not every team is going to bow out of the season quietly. The Chiefs, 49ers and Seahawks might surprise a few top contenders before they put a nail in the 2008…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 10: Enter the tight end zone
On the Wire: Waiver Wire Winnings from Week 8
There have been many injuries this season in the NFL. Unfortunately, that’s not really anything new to this sport. Some fans might call for increased player protection, more fines or more pads, but it’s hard to see that making any difference. In truth, the waiver wire in fantasy football exists as a result of the…… Continue reading On the Wire: Waiver Wire Winnings from Week 8

It’s about time some of the fantasy studs broke out this year. This week has some matchups to watch.

For those of you who may…… Continue reading Week 6 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
These sudden, mysterious and largely unreported injuries have got to stop. Last week, Carson Palmer was a late scratch. This week, the victim was Matt Schaub, who was hit by a virus the night before the game. I normally set lineups Saturday night and then let them run, but this sudden injury plague makes me…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
