10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 7

I'm trying a new approach this week with this column, which is that the introductory paragraphs and the recap of last week's games are going to be combined. But don't worry! That just means I'll be writing more about how good/bad last week's bust picks were! It makes more sense to blabber on about that […]

Don’t Call It a Comeback - Second Half Rebound Candidates

Regardless of expert consensus, every year there are a slew of top ranked players that underperform.  The question half way through the year is, who’s going to rebound, and who’s going to fall flat? Paint me optimistic today, but there’s a lot of the season left, and opportunities abound. I expect many of the following […]

Week 7 Red Zone Risers/Fallers - Players With Scoring Potential

We're starting to get a sense of which players are integral parts of their team's offense, especially in the red zone. Still, injuries and bye weeks demand that we find under-the-radar players who have great opportunity to contribute as well. We always need to dig deeper to find great values at the skill positions. Just […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks

C.J. Anderson was a big, huge, fat bust last week and I totally missed on that. There, I feel better now. No, not really. While we're all trying to predict the future here and wrong quite a bit, it never feels good to be totally wrong when you're putting it out there for thousands to […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 7

Amari Cooper was a huge boom on Thursday night. Marshawn Lynch was a huge bust. The booms and busts are not letting up, especially the under-the-radar ones. With only two teams (Detroit and Houston) on bye this week, there are more under-the-radar boom/bust candidates than in previous weeks. Lucky me! Here are some under-the-radar booms […]

Beating the Waiver Wire - Adds for Week 8

It's Wednesday morning. You dropped a player last night expecting to make some moves on the waiver wire, only to wake up and find out you weren't able to get anyone you put a claim in for. What now? If you've got an open roster spot, its always a good idea to plan ahead for […]

In this week’s edition of our target risers column, we’re going to take a look at some of the noteworthy players with the […]

Going Extreme with All Bench RB in Week 7

Zero RB is a widely discussed strategy that I happen to buy into.  I love the WR position and don’t enjoy the injury risk at RB, therefore avoiding the use of my high draft capital on the position. Today I’d like to discuss a strategy that compliments Zero RB very well but can also apply […]

Week 7 Dynasty Matchup Previews

Dynasty owners don’t play week to week, they play long term. However, dynasty owners still need to analyze different aspects of weekly matchups to determine the best time to sell or buy a player. Make sure you don’t buy that hot rookie too soon and don’t sell the aging veteran too late. Each week, I […]

Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (10/21/17): NBA Advice for FanDuel, DraftKings

You don't need to be buttered up with some, "We're a few games in..." intro nonsense. We both know why you're here. I got the goods, you want the services. Uh, that sounds bad...Maybe an intro IS the best way to start these things. Well, too late now. It's an 11-game slate this beautiful Saturday, […]

Week 7 Dynasty Mailbag

Another week, another missing star for the rest of the 2017 season as all-world quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone and is slated to be out for the season. In redraft leagues this typically spells the end for any value that Rodgers would have for the season, however in dynasty formats, he certainly still […]

Daily Fantasy Basketball Lineup Picks (10/20/17): NBA Advice for FanDuel, DraftKings

NBA Friday's are once again bracing us with its presence. I think it may have something to do with the fact that, normally, Friday is a pretty weak day for sports until the NBA rolls around, but there's something special about a packed slate on a Friday night - especially when it leads into a […]

Week 7 Daily Fantasy Football Tournament Stacks

If you played in DFS contests that included Thursday night's Oakland Raiders-Kansas City Chiefs, I sure hope you played Derek Carr (417 yards, three touchdowns) and Amari Cooper (11 receptions, 210 yards, two touchdowns). If not, well ... you're probably going to face an uphill battle. The goal of this weekly column is to help […]

N-JO-KU NOW! - Why You Should Add David Njoku This Week

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 7: Floors and Ceilings

Last week, I introduced a new way to look at consistency in fantasy football based on standard deviation.

Fake News Or Real Deal? Week 7 Waiver Outlooks

We've seen a lot of fake news throughout the years. From "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq to an Ohio postal worker destroying absentee ballots cast for Donald Trump, the news is littered.

Fantasy Basketball Hype Train: Isn't the NFL Supposed to be the Brutal Sport?

It's been a rough start to the 2017-18 NBA season. It was a bad omen in the preseason when likable players started going down with injuries to start a season where they were looking at big opportunities to break out -- including Seth Curry, Dante Exum, and Slam Dunk Contest winner Glenn Robinson III. Then […]
