I got stuck watching the New England Patriots abuse the Tampa Bay Buccaneers across the pond in London during the early games. I thought we sent this game overseas so that no one here would have to watch it? While the action was riveting, oh, so riveting, I found myself checking my fantasy football scores…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Magical phone refresh voodoo makes Vernon Davis score touchdowns

Week 7 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: LenWhale fall down, go boom
Patrick Crayton just straight up offended me by complaining that he wasn’t told that he was being replaced in the starting lineup. Seriously? But seriously? But seriously? I guess he was the last to know. I knew two weeks ago. Let’s just drop the act, Crayton. You saw Miles Austin have the best day of…… Continue reading Week 7 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: LenWhale fall down, go boom
On the Wire: Week 7 Pickups, Drops and Names to Know by Now
In what was largely a return to form for the fantasy football community, several names you probably already know popped back on the scene. Some we’ve talked about before, some we’ve neglected to mention since the preseason. Regardless, if they’ve been dropped or otherwise abandoned to the free agent pool, these guys are worth a…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 7 Pickups, Drops and Names to Know by Now
How to Get Your 0-5 Team to 1-5
It happens to the best of us. Sometimes teams don’t work out. You draft Darren McFadden higher than you should have — grumble grumble. You put the hopes of your fantasy team on a sleeper like Matt Cassel, who hasn’t panned out yet. Maybe your team is putting up mad amounts of points, but you…… Continue reading How to Get Your 0-5 Team to 1-5
On the Wire: Week 6 Pickups, Sleepers and Bye Week Saviors
He did it. I can’t believe he did it. Braylon Edwards, of stone hands fame, caught almost everything that came his way in his debut with the Jets on Monday night. It’s possible to argue that he was robbed of a second touchdown on the night when a circus catch down the sideline got reviewed…… Continue reading On the Wire: Week 6 Pickups, Sleepers and Bye Week Saviors
Foolish Thoughts: Terrible throwbacks and games to throw back
The NFL should really give all the bad teams the same bye week. Just wait until all the worst teams have shown what they are made of, take the bottom half of the league and give them a week off to heal their wounds. Hey, we could even give the Rams a whole season off.…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: Terrible throwbacks and games to throw back
Preseason Fantasy Football Product Roundup 2009
From time to time, I get emails from folks within the fantasy football community telling me about their great products, and most of them really are useful. Unfortunately, I rarely get a chance to highlight them for you, the readers, because fantasy football talk, the heart of all we do here at Fantasy Football Fools,…… Continue reading Preseason Fantasy Football Product Roundup 2009
Hair Model Mock Draft 2009: Tweaking the System
There was actually a mock draft that I participated in last week besides the one that I let the ESPN autodraft bot destroy by filling the bench with quarterbacks. The fine young hair models from Fantasy Football Writers with Hair put together a 10-team, 16-round mock draft with a few of the Fanhouse crew, reps…… Continue reading Hair Model Mock Draft 2009: Tweaking the System
Without T.O., is Romo still an elite fantasy quarterback?
It’s the debate that began as soon as the Cowboys released Terrell Owens: Where does Tony Romo rank without his prized target in the passing game? I’ve exchanged emails with fellow Fools writer Chadam and several other fantasy football compatriots since my post on the release of the infamous No. 81, but I’ve been reluctant…… Continue reading Without T.O., is Romo still an elite fantasy quarterback?
T.O. got to go: Cowboys cut controversial receiver
According to ESPN, the Dallas Cowboys just cut Terrell Owens. Not only does this defy some good logic, it also might be the best move for the Cowboys after all. Jerry Jones obviously spent a lot of time over the offseason speaking to his coaching staff and players about what went wrong in the bust…… Continue reading T.O. got to go: Cowboys cut controversial receiver
