Deeper Sleepers Heading Into Week 7
Apologies for not telling you to add fantasy superstars Nick O'Leary, David Moore, and Brock Osweiller last week. Clearly I have failed you as a fantasy football writer. I am not worthy of your page views. I'm speaking sarcastically, of course. Those were just three of the names that make you roll your eyes and […]

Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 22% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you're a Giants fan, owner of New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, or simply follow football closely enough to know that Manning has looked horrible for most of the year, suggesting him as a waiver wire pickup seems like a questionable call. The […]
Alex Tanney (QB, NYG) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 2-QB Leagues OWNED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: To be candid, I do not know much about New York Giants quarterback Alex Tanney. Much of what we know about him comes from this video. He was a monster at D3 Monmouth College and came into the NFL a little bit older at the […]

Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 6 Fantasy Football Picks
Just like there is no such thing as an announcer jinx, the same goes for writers or analysts. To call Jay Ajayi a fantasy bust and "Zero" last week, only to see him suffer another devastating injury by tearing his ACL, isn't my fault. It doesn't feel good to see it either, especially since I […]

RB Touches and Efficiency Breakdown - Week 6 Preview
It’s frustrating. I don’t claim to be smarter than NFL executives or general managers. While that would be a dream job, I’m content right here at my computer giving my opinion.
