Week 4 Lineup Questions - Fantasy Football Pop Quiz

We are officially in the BYE week zone. Yes, three weeks in, we're reminded that the NFL tends to structure it's BYE weeks somewhat unevenly, and just as harshly, we've probably built our teams unevenly as well.

Week 4 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Well, last week's bust broke the trend of having a quarterback totally destroy my thinking, as Philip Rivers ended up being very good but not, like, astronomically so like when I predicted a Week 1 bust by Patrick Mahomes and a Week 2 bust by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Anyway, y'all -- it's already Week 4. For […]

How to Trade in Fantasy and Win at Life

One of the greatest, yet underutilized tools of roster management is trading. There are teams in every league with varying strengths, weaknesses and records and therefore unrealized trade opportunities to be had. But trading is infrequent in most leagues and I implore we join together as a powerful community of nerds to change the paradigm. […]

Should We Adjust Expectations for the Giants Offense?

This was the year the New York Giants were supposed to rebound on offense, Eli Manning was going to have one of the best seasons of his career, and the offensive line was going to create holes for the running game and protect Eli. With the trio of Odell Beckham Jr, Sterling Shepard, and Evan […]

Battle of the Rookie Quarterbacks

The 2018 NFL draft is part of football history. The reason that the 2018 draft will always be remembered is that it marked just the third time in NFL history that at least five quarterbacks were selected in the first round in the modern era (since 1960). 1983 and 1999 are the other draft classes […]

Which Lion is King of the Jungle?

It’s not often that an NFL offense can produce enough volume to make three wide receivers all fantasy relevant, each and every week. Luckily for us owners, the Detroit Lions have established themselves quite a stable of pass catchers. I’m of course talking about Marvin Jones, Golden Tate, and Kenny Golladay. Neither of these three […]

Death of the Workhorse RB

In a time, not too long ago, defense was king of the NFL. Pulverizing hits weren't just legal, they were glamorized. The rules of the game itself were slightly slanted in favor of those on the defensive side of the ball, and in order to find success, teams were forced to wear down the opposition […]
