Week 12 Consistency Report - Floors and Ceilings

As mentioned on Twitter, today’s article is going to focus on a new statistic I created to incorporate the important aspects of a player’s weekly production and consistency.

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 […]

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.

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week 11 felt more on the “hit-or-miss” side, with several stars blowing up and several more falling flat, with few mediocre stat lines to help float our hopes and dreams.

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.

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 […]

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.
