NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 17) - Game Predictions

It only took 16 weeks for the NFL to get back on its axis. That's right, Blake Bortles threw a pick-six. It was his first of the season and 12th since 2014, most in the NFL. We also saw more teams eliminated and watched the AFC South continue to leave a horrid stench and make […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - Week 17 Lineup Questions

Before DFS became a known and popular entity in fantasy football gaming, there was Week 17. Sure, fantasy sports will always have some quality of unknown dart-throwing in it (Alvin Kamara, anyone?) but this week is sort of a horror show all its own. Did you ride a running back all the way to the […]

Week 17 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs Industry Consensus

In Week 17, you can really throw the rankings out the window. In fact, you may have to throw half your starting roster onto the bench or waivers, as many fantasy studs will find themselves resting for the playoffs. Many a fantasy owner believes that leagues with championships in Week 17 should be disbanded. I […]

Monday Football Matchups and Starts/Sits (Week 16)

I usually start this column with "another week, another Monday," but that would be inappropriate this time around.

And while we're at it, […]

Week 16 Dynasty Matchup Analysis

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.

This season, we are treated to a full slate of games on Christmas Eve in the most important fantasy week of all! (Cue inspiring holiday music set to the tune of Hank Williams Jr.'s MNF anthem).

To some extent, you can throw rankings out the window this week. Wait, keep reading! What I mean to say is that you already know who you're rolling with at nearly every position if you are playing for a championship, other than one or two flex spots. If you have a strong team at every […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 16): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

What another great Sunday of football. We saw teams like the Vikings, Rams, and Jaguars win in dominating fashion. We even saw a piece of paper used to decide a monumental fourth down. But most importantly, the game of the year actually was the game of the year. For all those people complaining about the […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - Week 16 Lineup Questions

A few weeks ago, I sorted out the two types of questions you should always be able to answer; some off the top of your head, and some dependent upon factors like date and time. It was used to basically say that come the end of November, you should know how many leagues where you'll […]

Week 16 Consistency Report - Floors and Ceilings

It amazes me that we are already at the end of December in Week 16 of the 2017 season. We spent all offseason preparing for this year and now it is all or nothing for many teams. To those of you in the championship, I congratulate you for making it, a feat in and of […]

The fantasy season is coming to a close... For many leagues, Week 16 represents the culmination of all the hard work put into offseason preparation, start/sit decisions, and waiver wire adds.

Monday Night Football Matchups and Starts/Sits (Week 15)

Week 15 Monday Night Football has more of a feeling like Thursday Night Football this week. A divisional matchup of the 8-5 Atlanta Falcons and 4-9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers has two of the most underachieving teams of 2017. With a win, Atlanta could stay alive for a playoff spot while Tampa Bay just wants to […]

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.

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 15 Fantasy Football Picks

Let's start by addressing the fluffy, pink elephant wearing a tutu and dancing on your forehead in the room, which is the fact that you're here looking for QB advice because you've ridden Carson Wentz to the playoffs and now he's gone. Poof, just like that. Rather than another diatribe about how it's the worst […]

Top Wide Receivers vs Cornerback Matchups - Week 15

Nothing is more important than matchup analyzation when it comes to fantasy football. Playing your teams’ best players on a regular basis is important, but picking apart the top matchups on a week to week basis can win you a championship, or even better, some cold, hard cash in DFS.

Week 15 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs Industry Consensus

Lose one elite QB, gain another back. There was a seismic shift in the fantasy values of several players in Philadelphia and Green Bay this week with the unfortunate injury by Carson Wentz and the joyful return of Aaron Rodgers. The rankings will reflect as much, but also must take into consideration what position each […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 15

The playoffs are in full swing now. How's it going? I'm heading into a bitter, two week showdown in one of my leagues against the guy who lets me watch RedZone on his new television every Sunday and I'm actually excited about it. As I close in on the end of my first year at Rotoballer, […]

Week 15 Consistency Report - Floors and Ceilings

Survive and advance. That is the name of the game for this week as many fantasy football leagues are in their semifinal match-ups.

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz - Week 15 Lineup Questions

Unlike last week, I think it's safe to declare that it's officially playoff time for everyone. I mean, everyone who made it (and shout-out to the people who are trying to keep the consolation bracket competitive, you're the real MVP.) If you're competing for that top spot, and maybe some slightly belated Christmas funding, you […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 15): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

Coming into Sunday, this was one of the best cards we’ve had yet. It lived up to its potential. And then some. We saw a snow game, two overtime games, an incredible Sunday night football game, but it’s all overshadowed by Carson Wentz’s injury. It's so unfortunate to see the potential MVP go down in a […]
