10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 9

The Houston Astros won the World Series on Wednesday night. The Houston Texans lost Deshaun Watson for the rest of the season to a torn ACL during practice on Thursday. Houston sports--something good, then something bad. The Watson injury is a big one in terms of its fantasy impact, because Watson was playing not just […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 9: Floors and Ceilings

Sometimes writing an introduction is hard. I would say it is even harder to write an introduction to a weekly article where the topic of the article remains the same every week. So, as I’m sitting here typing this in the Penn State library, I decided to write an introduction about me writing an introduction; […]

Week 9 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

You might think with six teams on bye and less players overall to consider, establishing a solid set of rankings might be a bit easier. In fact, for fantasy purposes it makes it far tougher to establish the lower value tiers because you have to wade through RB committees and WR4/WR5 types just to assess […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 9): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

Can you believe we are eight weeks through the season? It's not too far back when the Giants were Super Bowl contenders, the Jets were going to go 0-16, and the Patriots were destined for a 16-0 season. How things have changed. For those of you still left in your survivor league pools, I'm here […]

Thursday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 9)

The Dolphins have become quite the train wreck, haven't they... After suffering a 40-point blowout loss last Thursday night, it should become abundantly clear for fantasy owners that there are next to no reliable players to be found in the Miami Dolphins offense (especially with the departure of Jay Ajayi for Philadelphia). The returns of […]

Fantasy Football Mailbag – Trade Deadline Analysis

It's been a pretty crazy last few days in football land. Despite six teams on a bye week, half of this weekend's twelve games ended within one score, including the possible game of the year between Texans and Seahawks in Seattle. And if Week 8 of football wasn't enough action, the last 48 hours have […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 8 Fantasy Football Picks

Rather than reciting some of my greatest hits and misses from last week (let's just assume they were all hits and move on), I have a commentary on the fantasy football community as a whole.

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 8

There a lot of bye weeks (six!) this week, which means you have a lot more restrictions when building a lineup. I'll try to reflect that in this week's column by digging a little dip deeper on some of the bust picks, looking at some under-the-radar players who should stay under that radar. It's hard […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 8: Floors and Ceilings

It’s crazy to think we are already halfway through the NFL regular season. Now is the start of one of the busiest times of the year for fantasy owners as they ready themselves for championship runs, playoff pushes, or already moving on to 2018. For those of you in the hunt for a playoff spot […]

Week 8 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 […]

Fantasy Pop Quiz - Lineup Questions for Week 8

As all one or two of the people who read my column realized last week, I was actually off. We were putting together the finishing touches on our wedding, which was Sunday. I don't think it's a day I'll ever forget; 78 degrees right about the time we said our vows, really delicious BBQ for […]

Week 8 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

As badly as my running back picks from last week went (Latavius Murray, really?), I'd like to think my in-depth analysis on Kenny Stills made up for it if you put him in your lineup. With six teams on bye this week, it's more important than ever to sift through the waiver wire and pick […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 8): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

What a boring Sunday that was. The matchups were bad and the games even worse. I love good defensive battles, but on Sunday that wasn't even the case. The Titans and Browns combined scored 21 points on seven field goals. Three teams were blanked. Seven teams could not muster a single offensive touchdown. Once again London […]

Thursday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 8)

John Madden would be proud of how Oakland showed up to play last week... Raiders quarterback Derek Carr's 417 yards and three touchdowns through the air along with wide receiver Amari Cooper's 210 receiving yards headlined the resurgence of a deadly passing attack in a 31-30 win in the 'Black Hole'. For those wondering if […]

Happy Monday RotoBallers! Another week, another Monday. Unlike last week, tonight's Monday Night Football matchup pits together two divisional teams on the upswing.

10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 7

I'm trying a new approach this week with this column, which is that the introductory paragraphs and the recap of last week's games are going to be combined. But don't worry!

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks

C.J. Anderson was a big, huge, fat bust last week and I totally missed on that. There, I feel better now. No, not really. While we're all trying to predict the future here and wrong quite a bit, it never feels good to be totally wrong when you're putting it out there for thousands to […]

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 7): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

The stunners continued this past Sunday. None bigger than the Giants dominating the Broncos in Denver. I could not have been more wrong about it, and neither could the public. The line opened at about 9.5/10 in favor of Denver and closed at 13.5. Nobody believed in the Giants, but they finally came out and […]
