Fantasy Mad Libs: Starts and Sits for Week 6

Week 6. Can I be honest? I gave up in one league already. For most leagues, it's barely a third of the way through the season, and if you own Le'Veon Bell or Tom Brady it is far too early to cut bait on an entire team. It was my dynasty league, the one I […]

Fantasy Mad Libs - Starts and Sits for Week 5

Think fast - what’s the worst trade you’ve ever made? I’ve been playing fantasy football for more than five years at this point, and trading has always been one of my favorite aspects of playing, not exactly an uncommon feeling. We all love when our teams are good, maybe even great, but there’s not a […]

Fantasy Mad Libs - Starts and Sits for Week 4

Week 4, and it’s finally coming up Cliff Clinton. It's celebration time for those of us who spent an early round pick on Le’Veon Bell as we get to watch him tear up the field against the Kansas City Chiefs. Next week, the return of Tom Brady and Josh Gordon will feel like Christmas for owners who rolled the […]

Fantasy Mad Libs - Starts and Sits for Week 3

“So, how many guys are left on your team this week?” That was how my conversation started this week with my former roommate, who I talk to about once a week. Time zones now mean we can call before he starts his job as a restaurant manager, and as I come home from my marketing job […]

Fantasy Mad Libs: Starts and Sits for Week 2

Week 1 is officially in the books, and I don't know if I feel good. My picks were largely decent, and the games were very close. But much like the cast from the Tony Award-winning musical "Hamilton," I can never be truly satisfied. David Johnson looked great even in a losing effort, but I have to wonder […]

Fantasy Fill-Ins: Week 1

Welcome to Fantasy Fill-Ins, where each week I play a type of “Mad Libs”-style game that gives you perspective about the fantasy football landscape. The guys at RotoBallers were nice enough to let me run wild with the idea of suggesting players to go all in on, and players to avoid, in a different and […]

Player Props And What They Mean For Fantasy

Everyone’s got the $2 friend. I don’t mean a friend who is cheap, or may be considered trashy. It’s the friend who will find himself, every year, placing a buck or two on his team. He may casually bring it up at work, and say “Oh yeah, every year my buddies and I place $20 […]

Rapid Reaction - Justin Forsett Cut, Who to Add in Fantasy Football

Justin Forsett was Saturday’s surprise cut, and fantasy players who bought in late on the 30-year old RB are most likely scrambling to replace him. Staying within the Ravens, there are only two running backs worth mentioning; Terrance West and Kenneth "Boobie" Dixon. Editor's Note: Purchase a full season NFL Premium Pass (including Draft Kit + […]

Four Reasons Why Zero WR Is Not A Viable Strategy in 2016

I am one of the many fantasy writers who loves the "Zero RB" strategy. My colleague Matt Terrelle wrote a great article about how the strategy, which focuses on ignoring running backs until at least the fourth round (though the round in which it is acceptable to start taking RBs is a point of contention), […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, MIA) - 2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~160 CURRENT ADP: 172.4 ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill ranked top-five in completion percentage with over 4,000 yards passing in 2014, and many fantasy owners and analysts predicted that he, equipped with a better team, would be a slam dunk fantasy contributor in 2015. However, he began the 2015 campaign with seven touchdowns and […]

2016 Fantasy Football Sleeper - Quarterback Ryan Tannehill

It’s worth noting , for those of us stressing about our fantasy football drafts this year, quarterback is usually not the first position we worry about. In the first 47 picks, only two quarterbacks come off the board per Fantasy Football Calculator ADP. As fantasy players continue to draft quarterback later and later, Ryan Tannehill […]

My Rookie Draft Is Over in my Dynasty League. Now What?

There is no more expansive wasteland than the time in between drafting rookies in a dynasty league and the beginning of training camp. It’s the less than glorious time in your league where absolutely nothing is happening. There are classic routes you could take to pass the time; you can be the guy offering an […]
