Week 6 Pickups: Are you Keenan on these Chargers?
Forgive me for the punny title. I didn’t get a lot of sleep this weekend, and I think I’m still operating on Oakland time. But that said…don’t you want four time slots of NFL football EVERY Sunday? Personally, I loved being able to go straight into another one after Sunday Night Football wrapped up, even…… Continue reading Week 6 Pickups: Are you Keenan on these Chargers?
This Kevin Smith is not Too Fat to Fly in Week 12 Pickups
I can’t be certain that I covered all of this week’s best waiver wire grabs because, to be honest, after Adrian Peterson went down and rode out of the stadium on a cart, I went into shock and then into a hysterical state from which I am only now emerging. Is Twilight still a thing?…… Continue reading This Kevin Smith is not Too Fat to Fly in Week 12 Pickups

5 Reasons to Drop Sidney Rice
If you’ve stashed Sidney Rice away on your bench waiting for his triumphant return to fantasy football studliness, it’s time to drop him. Let him go.

What Randy Moss trade to Minnesota means for fantasy owners, a collection of thoughts from around the Web
Randy Moss returned to the Minnesota Vikings yesterday as the latest victim of the Patriot Way, the “get out while we can still get draft picks for you” way. After all, there is no “pay” in Patriot…err, wait, that doesn’t seem right. While there is no “I” in team, there are two in Belichick. Above all,…… Continue reading What Randy Moss trade to Minnesota means for fantasy owners, a collection of thoughts from around the Web
Brett Favre’s 2010 Vikings: You aren’t who we thought you were, yet
http://youtu.be/Ue9L9oJWxwQ In this business, nothing goes as planned. If it did, why would be play?

The Vikings hoped to avenge their playoff loss to the Super Bowl Champion Saints on the NFL’s biggest Week 1…… Continue reading Brett Favre’s 2010 Vikings: You aren’t who we thought you were, yet
Foolish Thoughts: My Beef with Fleaflicker’s Coach Rating
It’s one of the most frustrating occurrences in fantasy football. It’s not a Baltimore fan complaining about the refs or John Carney missing three kicks when just one would have won the fantasy game you lost by a point. No, the most sickening feeling in fantasy football hits you when you start the wrong guys. There’s…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts: My Beef with Fleaflicker’s Coach Rating
