NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 4: Whose time is it to Shine, Who should Ride the Pine?
Before we get started on our week four projections, I’ve got a bone to pick with Matthew Berry a.k.a. “The talented Mr. Roto” who works over at ESPN. While I will admit that he’s probably better at this than I am, he does just about everything I hate when it comes to his “Love ‘em, [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 3: Whose time is it to shine, who should ride the pine?
What a difference a week makes. After an unbelievable week one, my prognosticating skills took a nose dive in week two. In reality, though, it looks worse on paper than it really was. Three plays turned three pretty awful days into three pretty decent days. I had so many close calls not go my way, [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 2: Whose time is it to shine, who should ride the pine?
Week one is always a bit of a crapshoot when it comes to predicting the NFL, so I’ll try not to get too full of myself when scoring my starts and sits from Opening Weekend. That being said, if I picked lottery numbers like I picked fantasy players, I would own an island in the [...]
Dan’s Fantasy Dream Teams: Who makes the cut?
ESPN does it. So does FOX Sports. And VH1, E!, Travel Channel, and Food Network. “Best of” lists are everywhere and cover just about everything. And while we couldn’t get “A” list celebrities like Gilbert Gottfried to make clever comments about our choices, we have managed to put together a few fantasy lists for your [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 1: Whose time is it to shine, who should ride the pine?
I’ll admit, I’ve never been a huge fan of articles that try to predict who should start and sit on my fantasy team. There are so many scoring systems and sizes of leagues one man’s start can easily be another man’s sit. So why read this one? Three reasons: 1. I won’t waste your time [...]
We’ll Be Back After These Messages – A Fantasy Guide to Kickers and Defenses
While commercials are thought of as nuisances for the most part, they can sometimes be so memorable that they become part of our national fabric. Years after we’ve forgotten what the ad was for, we remember the catch phrases that made them great. Defenses and kickers are the commercials of fantasy football. In many cases, [...]
Listen to the Music: A Fantasy Draft Guide to Receivers and Tight Ends
Music is something we often take for granted. Like a good referee, if music is doing its job, you rarely notice its presence. But take it away and you realize just how important it is. In the world of fantasy football, receivers and tight ends can be a lot like music. They don’t get the [...]
At The Movies: Fantasy Football Quarterbacks for 2008
Welcome back to our 2008 fantasy football preview. If you read last week’s installment, you know that running backs are the sitcoms of the 1980’s. Like a sitcom, a running back is essential to any good lineup. You can’t win a fantasy league without a solid running game, and you can’t win sweeps week without [...]
NFL Fantasy Draft Guide: Breaking Down the Running Backs 80s Sitcom Style
There comes a time in every man’s life when he is forced to ask himself one simple question: If an NFL player were a 1980’s sitcom, which sitcom might that be. When such questions arise, there can be no rest until they are answered. Plus, since fantasy football drafts are just a few short weeks [...]
Between a rock and a Favre place: Where does Favre’s uncertainty put Aaron Rodgers and the Packers?
Replacing an iconic quarterback is never easy, just ask Brian Griese or Jay Fiedler. Yet despite some unfortunate comments made in Sports Illustrated, Aaron Rodgers seemed to be in a position to win over his teammates and fan base alike. That is until Brett Favre got an itch that all the Calamine lotion in the [...]
