Don’t Kill the Messenger: Week 4 Start and Sit Review
(Coffee wasn’t loaded with fantasy caffeine, but he did the job.) After two straight weeks of tripping over my own suggestions, we finally saw some Start and Sit success in week four. If you check out the week four preview column, hopefully you took heed of some of the suggestions. After going 4-1 in the [...]
NFL Fantasy Game-Day Decision: Kevin Smith Starting, Wes Welker is Active, and more
(Barber should see less action than Tashard Choice.) Dwight Freeney Back For Colts, Bob Sanders Still Out This could mean that Julius Jones could still have a great fantasy day without Sanders around, but Freeney’s presence bot makes Seneca Wallace a shaky bye week fill-in, and also hurts Seattle’s overall pass offense. Indy has one [...]
NFL Fantasy Football Start & Sit Week 4: In a slump? A little Coffee can help
Brett Favre and Mark Sanchez further established themselves as, at the very worst, fantasy roster candidates. While normally “sure-fire” performers like Clinton Portis and Thomas Jones bombed. And what was with Willie Parker finally playing well and scoring a touchdown the very week I tell you to sit him? I swear, that guy has it [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 3 Review
This was supposed to be the week that the Washington Redskins turned it around. Well, at least in terms of offensive production in the fantasy realms. And for Jason Campbell and Santana Moss, that’s exactly what happened. However, someone forgot to tell Jim Zorn that thousands of fantasy owners around the nation were counting on [...]
NFL Fantasy Football Start & Sit Week 3: Keeping up with the Joneses
After a rough week two of bad calls and poor suggestions, I vow to bring you the best 15 plays, and at the very worst, to come out of week three with a winning record. It’s always tough to gauge if/when guys like Donovan McNabb and Matt Hasselbeck will last the game, and it’s also [...]
Fantasy Football Tier Rankings: Running Backs
As with the receivers and quarterbacks, this list is here to split up the A’s from the B’s, and let you know where to draft guys, roughly. Okay, so Adrian Peterson is your running back with the first pick. That was easy. Hell, Yahoo suggested it, right? But now what? The second round rolls around, [...]
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, [...]
Seahawks nab Jones, Cowboys fans don’t care
The Seattle Seahawks have agreed in principle with free agent running back Julius Jones. Jones agreed to a 4-year deal worth 12 million dollars. It looks like he will once again provide the lightning to someone else’s thunder, as Jones will be splitting carries in his new gig too, with big-bodied free agent running back T.J. Duckett being [...]
