It’s about time some of the fantasy studs broke out this year. This week has some matchups to watch. If you ‘bought low’ on guys like Ryan Grant and Maurice Jones-Drew, picked up Deuce McAllister or drafted Bernard Berrian for depth, this week should show you what they’re worth. For those of you who may…… Continue reading Week 6 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

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!

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?
A Fool and His Money on 2008 Futures [Win Totals and Over Unders]
Prior to the first snap this season, Chadam and Nick got together and picked a handful of teams that each compulsive gambler believed would perform above or below Vegas’ predicted win total. I locked these picks away in a vault, buried beneath the ground and protected by two very angry, alcoholic monkeys and a crafty…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money on 2008 Futures [Win Totals and Over Unders]
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
A Fool and His Money in Week 1
Now that we have the explanation out of the way, let’s talk Week 1 picks. Jacob’s Ed. Note: Note that due to some compulsive gambling this weekend, we didn’t get the Week 1 picks up before the games. If you didn’t notice, congratulations — you rock. Starting Week 2, picks should be up prior to…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 1
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
5 Reasons I Still Won’t Draft Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning has now returned to practice, but there’s still too much bad juju around old buckethead for me to consider touching him for my fantasy team. I can’t believe that I’m actually going to say it, but this season, it’s better to pass on the definition of a stud fantasy quarterback. I have my…… Continue reading 5 Reasons I Still Won’t Draft Peyton Manning
The Difference Between a QB1 and a QB2
To continue the fantasy definition series, we’ll take a look at the divisions between fantasy quarterbacks. After nailing down the difference between running backs, understanding the definition of a QB1 versus a QB2 could make or break your fantasy team. Every winning fantasy team has at least one QB1 on the roster — sometimes two.…… Continue reading The Difference Between a QB1 and a QB2
2008 Offseason NFL Fantasy Quarterback Rankings
Prompted by many an unruly quarterback (QB) ranker online these days, I’ve compiled my current top 12 list of fantasy QBs. For the most part, I base these rankings off of projected stats for 2008, but considering these top 12 are also going to be the first QBs you want to draft, reliability and consistency…… Continue reading 2008 Offseason NFL Fantasy Quarterback Rankings
