About halfway through the season and who would have predicted the Bucs and Packers would be 3-5, the Rams 3-4, and the Falcons and Seahawks leading their divisions?

Week 8 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2022 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets and Avoids

Why is scoring down in the NFL? Some have said it's due to better defense, but when you watch the games, it appears it's because of coaching. Jacksonville had a 4th-and-1 against the Giants on Sunday up 17-13 in the fourth quarter and Doug Pederson decides to go for it. Why not take the three […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 7) - Targets and Avoids

A near total survivor doomsday. Three of the top four most selected teams on average in pools, Bucs, Packers, Niners, all went down.

Quarterback Starts/Sits for Week 7 - QB vs. Pass Rush Matchups for Lineup Decisions

Week 7 of the NFL season is here, and I continue to understand less and less about this league.

Week 7 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

According to many, this week is yet another “Bye-mageddon” for fantasy managers, and it’s hard to argue against that point.
