NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 9
Halloween. Trick or Treat. You’d think there would be a clever opening in there somewhere. Turns out Chris Berman has a copyright on all of them. That’s fine – being clever is overrated anyway. Here’s a look at last week’s picks. Time to Shine: QB Jeff Garcia, Tampa Bay: Garcia did everything but get the [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 8
Some moments in sports are simply too big to describe with mere words. Brett Favre throwing for 399 yards and four scores just hours after his father passed away. Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open with a torn ACL. Sergey Bubka shattering the world record in the pole vault using what was later learned to [...]
NFL Fantasy Start or Sit Week 7
Week five was so bad for me, I had to take some time and regroup. I knew I could still pick fantasy starters, I just didn’t know that I wanted to. But now, after several days of soul searching, I make my Favrian return to fantasy football. And since the bosses were good enough to [...]
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 [...]
