I’ve coined a new fantasy football term this season: “getting Shonn Greened.” Sadly, it’s to describe the miserable performance of my own fantasy team. I drafted well, according to most rankings, guides, and general opinion, but my team manages, time and time again, to play down to my opponent. They underwhelm when everyone expects them…… Continue reading Week 9 Pickups coming up Cecil Shorts

Rashad Jennings is the new MJD in Week 8 Pickups
It’s horrible to watch your stud running back go down with an injury. It’s especially horrible when you don’t own his backup. But it’s incredibly joyful for all of us surfing the waiver wire. After DeMarco Murray went down last week and opened the door for two potential running back pickups Felix Jones and Phillip…… Continue reading Rashad Jennings is the new MJD in Week 8 Pickups
My Much-Too-Late 2011 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Value Picks List
I’ve been a slacker this season when it comes to posting my sleepers and value picks. I tweeted about quite a few of them throughout the offseason and preseason, but if you weren’t following me there, you might have missed out. On the plus side, the majority of my true sleepers are low on the…… Continue reading My Much-Too-Late 2011 Fantasy Football Sleepers and Value Picks List
5 Pieces to Winning Your Fantasy Football League
You’ll read a lot of fantasy football draft tips this time of year preaching that there is only one way to win, one quarterback worth grabbing in the first round, or one player that could change the outcome of your championship game. While there may, in fact, be one quarterback this season who could win…… Continue reading 5 Pieces to Winning Your Fantasy Football League
The League S02E09: Never Use Your Friend as an “Expert Witness”
We never have gotten to see the league members in their unnatural environment: their jobs. Sure, in Season 1, we saw Kevin and Ruxin negotiate a plea bargain and a trade of the No. 1 overall pick, but we never saw them in court. Pete’s been in an office, but we’ve never seen him working.…… Continue reading The League S02E09: Never Use Your Friend as an “Expert Witness”
Believe it or not, Peyton Hillis is the Juggernaut and More Scoring Leaders from Week 12
I believe it was Andrew Garda who started the #Juggernaut campaign for the Peyton Hillis’ nickname. Once again, it held true this week as Hillis ran over the Panthers for three touchdowns in brutal fashion. Nothing stops that guy. Nothing. The proof of how great a nickname this is for Hillis is in the Wikipedia:…… Continue reading Believe it or not, Peyton Hillis is the Juggernaut and More Scoring Leaders from Week 12
Believe it or not: Bad franchises, big fantasy points with Peyton Hillis, Matthew Stafford, and Jacoby Ford as Week 9 Scoring Leaders
This week’s high scores include members of teams you wouldn’t expect to produce fantasy powerhouses. The Browns? The Lions? The Raiders? Parity is the name of the game this season, as even these recently terrible franchises have produced fantasy gold. Hillis looks like a top back the rest of the way. The Raiders continue to…… Continue reading Believe it or not: Bad franchises, big fantasy points with Peyton Hillis, Matthew Stafford, and Jacoby Ford as Week 9 Scoring Leaders
On the Wire in Week 4: LeGarrette Blount, Ryan Torain Headline Best of Waiver Wire Running Backs to Stash
It’s been three weeks. Time to take a long hard look at your team and the “sleepers” you chose on draft day. If they haven’t woken up yet, chances are that they aren’t going to wake up anytime soon. On the waiver this week, there are several running backs to take a chance on, but…… Continue reading On the Wire in Week 4: LeGarrette Blount, Ryan Torain Headline Best of Waiver Wire Running Backs to Stash
Believe it or not: Austin Collie, Peyton Hillis, Lance Moore and More Top Scores from Week 3
Austin Collie, WR, Colts: 12 catches for 171 yards, 2 TDs Believe It: This was not the stat line Reggie Wayne owners wanted to see, but without Pierre Garcon, Peyton Manning locked onto Collie while Dallas Clark and Reggie Wayne got most of the attention from the Denver defense. I don’t expect Collie to get…… Continue reading Believe it or not: Austin Collie, Peyton Hillis, Lance Moore and More Top Scores from Week 3

With two weeks to gauge our free agent stock, we’re now more able to tell who’s rising to the top and who will be free agent fodder all season long. Here are a few frequently available players who caught my eye in the last two weeks. Josh Freeman, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Wow.
