Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 12 Fantasy Football Picks

Be honest, what's better: Thanksgiving dinner on the night itself or enjoying the leftovers the next day? The former might seem like the obvious answer but think about it - how much do you really get to enjoy the meal itself when you're obligated to sample Aunt Edna's brussel sprouts or your cousin's gluten-free stuffing that […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 12

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

The byes are almost done, except that the two teams missing from this week's slate account for half of the starting lineups of the most successful fantasy teams. If anything, this might be a chance for fringe contenders to gain a leg up on their league's powerhouse teams that are missing their Rams and Chiefs. […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks

Hopefully, all my loyal readers got the joke last week that the picks were actually reversed and did the complete opposite of what was suggested! Nelson Agholor has apparently not morphed into toast, at least not yet. Week 10 was just one of those weeks that was filled with blowouts and upsets, or in the case […]

Time To Move On From Tom Brady?

Sunday of Week 10 was not a good day for Tom Brady and the Patriots offense. They could not get anything going against an admittedly strong Titans defense. However, the ineptitude of the way the Patriots offense played made the Dallas Cowboys performance against the Titans look somewhat heartening. Now the whole offense was an […]

Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups - All Positions

We're almost done with bye weeks, but Week 11 is another big one. Six teams will be on break which should again limit the number of waiver options available. It should but it won't, as this week will see several of the bottom dwellers in the league sitting out, namely the AFC East. This gives […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks

The playoffs are coming... but not yet. With all the talk of trade deadlines and ROS prep, we should keep one thing in mind - you have to get there first. I've seen teams sell high and buy low right out of contention because they forgot to actually win games in the process of preparing […]

Dez Bryant Joins The Saints - Fantasy Impact

With the news Wednesday that Dez Bryant was signed by the New Orleans Saints, there are many questions which need to be answered. First, what does this mean for Bryant himself? Is he about to become a fantasy superstar in an explosive offense, or is he just a distraction for defenses on the field while […]

Fantasy Winners and Losers - NFL Trade Deadline

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and it was a doozy this year. In a league where deadline deals used to be incredibly rare, Tuesday was a breath of fresh air. It was almost like we were watching the NBA or MLB trade deadline happen. Here's a quick summary of the deals from […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 8 Fantasy Football Picks

If there's one thing I've learned in fantasy football over the years, you have to set your bias aside. The largest and most prominent of these (for me at least) is the homerism and hero/villain effect. We all want our hometown players to succeed and that goes for college alma maters too. It isn't always […]
