Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 12

Can you believe there are only six weeks left in the NFL’s regular season? Two months ago, Mike Glennon and Brian Hoyer were starting quarterbacks, Dalvin Cook and Aaron Rodgers were healthy, and Denver and Green Bay looked like the two favorites to meet in the Super Bowl. A lot has changed since then, but […]

Week 12 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

This isn't just one of the best weeks of the year for NFL fans, it's also a great time for college football. I say this because soon we'll be talking about rookies potentially making an impact through the fantasy playoffs. Those players were in the midst of rivalry games and bowl talk this time a […]

Fantasy Football Pop Quiz: Week 12, NFL 2017

I'm thankful my Week 12 matchup is over already. I've complained a lot in this space how my teams have been doing. I won't keep repeating the main points of popularity, because there's nothing worse than a fantasy football matchup that you aren't involved in and forced to hear about, but last night was the […]

Week 12 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 […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 12

Another year of Thanksgiving games has come and gone, and I want to go on a quick rant that is only tangentially related to fantasy football, and isn't at all related to the actual premise of this column: the Dish Network and CBS dispute. I was invited to a friend's family Thanksgiving and went with […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 12): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

Bill Parcells used to say, Thanksgiving is the time when you find out which teams are for real, and which ones aren't. There is a giant cluster of teams in the hunt for the two spots in the AFC will card. It is conceivable that a 7-9 team AFC team can make the playoffs. On the other hand, […]

Thanksgiving Thursday Matchups Analysis (Week 12)

Will the real Steelers offense please stand up? It took a while, but the Pittsburgh Steelers' high-powered passing attack that we are readily used to seeing has finally shown up eleven games into the regular season. Big Ben Roethlisberger threw for 299 yards and four touchdowns, three of which going to stud fantasy wideout Antonio […]

Monday Night Football Matchups and Starts/Sits (Week 11)

Happy Monday RotoBallers! Another week, another Monday. 2017 hasn't exactly gone to plan for the Atlanta Falcons. I'll save you the details that you already know, but it all dates back to February 5th, when the Falcons ended up on the wrong side of the record books during the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history. Entering […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 11 Fantasy Football Picks

We were due for Week 10 to happen and not just in the most obvious, literal sense that Week 10 would inevitably arrive after Week 9. Sometimes up is down, black is white, and dogs and cats live and dine together in harmony. In a week where DeMarco Murray and Kirk Cousins combined for five […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 11

There is less room for error for fantasy football owners with each passing week. With under a month before the playoffs start in most fantasy football leagues, this is not the time to blow lineup decisions as badly as the Indianapolis Colts blow their draft choice decisions. The same goes for players of one-day contests […]

Week 11 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

In a week where so many picks went so wrong, it's good to know that many others were just as wrong. Sleepers Eli Manning, Bilal Powell, and Corey Davis were all big whiffs, while purported busts C.J. Beathard, Jonathan Stewart, and Emmanuel Sanders had their best games of the season. I was almost shocked that […]

Week 11 Consistency Report - Floors and Ceilings

On Thursday night, I went to the Titans-Steelers game in person and was uber excited to watch a ton of different players. I was excited as always to see my Steelers play, but also players on the Titans side like Rishard Matthews, Eric Decker, Marcus Mariota, and of course, Corey Davis. I was also very […]

Fantasy Pop Quiz - Lineup Questions for Week 11

It's nice to remind myself when I'm wrong (there's a good "haha he's married now" joke in there, but that's low hanging fruit that's even too low for me) especially as I weep over the less-than-smoldering ashes of my fantasy teams. In the pre-season, I went back through years of fantasy scoring, estimating how different […]

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 11

I planned on writing up a long introduction about this current fantasy football season, but I had computer issues the entire time I was working on this week's column, so something had to suffer due to time constraints. I don't think it would be a good idea to let the actual bust picks suffer, so […]

Thursday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 11)

Russell Wilson is making a strong case for league-MVP consideration... The play that saw him spinning and dodging on the way to a 40-plus yard completion to Doug Baldwin shows not only how prolific of an athlete Wilson is, but also how he is the spark to this entire offense. He is putting together one […]

Monday Night Football Matchups and Starts/Sits (Week 10)

Happy Monday RotoBallers! Another week, another Monday. Tonight's Monday Night Football matchup pits together two teams going in very different directions. Once 4-2 with early playoff hopes, the Dolphins now find themselves trying to avoid a third consecutive loss in as many weeks, all under the national spotlight in primetime. They'll have to do so without (former) […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 10: Floors and Ceilings

The NFL season is flying by. It feels like yesterday we were preparing for the 2017 season; redraft leagues were kicking off, articles and draft kits were being sold and promoted daily, and dynasty players were hyping up their rookies and February sleepers. Now, it is Week 10, over halfway through the season and it […]

Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 10

Oh, how time has flown by quicker than a Matthew Stafford pass. It feels like just last week that Kareem Hunt and Tyreek Hill were ravaging the New England Patriots defense, Adrian Peterson was on the New Orleans Saints and Aaron Rodgers was healthy. A lot has changed over the past two-plus months, but one […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 10 Fantasy Football Picks

I just couldn't resist the urge, so you'll have to bear with me for a few more sentences while I gloat a bit. Sometimes it feels like we are wrong more than we are right in the world of fantasy football, yet we keep coming back or more like the addicts we are. Nothing feeds […]

Defying Logic - Scrubs Over Stars for Week 10

Not only have we heard this argument on podcasts, websites and among fellow fantasy football players, but we go through it in our heads every single week. Hopefully by this point in the season, you have established a bench with some worthy starters and are afforded the privilege of even considering such a blasphemous concept as […]

We're getting closer to the end of the season--we've reached the double-digit weeks now!--which means that the decisions you make become amplified.

Week 10 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

It finally happened. I think. Ezekiel Elliott will finally come out of double-secret probation and miss an actual game. Does that mean I'm all in on Alfred Morris? Hardly. Dak Prescott on the other hand... and you may be surprised at which receiver benefits most. As an expert ranker for RotoBaller and FantasyPros, I'll put my […]
