Fantasy Football Mailbag – Buy Low, Sell High
Two weeks into any fantasy season is my favorite time. No, it's not because I'm always 2-0 and vindicated by all of my amazing draft picks – but it's because now is the ideal time to buy low and sell high. Many owners are ready to hit the panic button, and this year's rash of […]

Week 3 Running Backs - Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds
We were treated to some better football this weekend with no major injuries to star players (no, anyone nicknamed Fat Rob doesn't count as a star). The downside to Week 2 was that we didn't see any major breakouts or surprises by rookies and some of last week's shooting stars seem to already have fizzled. […]

Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 3
Week 2 of the NFL season was a physical therapist's dream. Or nightmare, I guess. Either way, the amount of players that were either legitimately injured or had a scare was hard to watch. Throw in some shocking duds from superstars like Ezekiel Elliott and Brandin Cooks, and Sunday's slate had more face-palms than anticipated. […]

Top 10 Fantasy Football Lineup Busts: Week 2
Last week in this column I made this little joke: "if I tell you to bench David Johnson, you have my permission to send me mean Tweets about it." Well--ugh.

NFL Survivor League Picks - Week 2
Week 1 is in the books and it sure was a doozy. The games were mostly lopsided and dull. Only two games, the Falcons at Bears, and Chargers, Broncos came down to the final possession.* I had the Bears as an upset special and they should have won the game. Week 1 also leads to massive overreaction. […]

Monday Night Football Matchup Analysis (Week 2)
