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 [...]
Don’t Kill The Messenger: NFL Fantasy Start & Sit Week 1 Review
Forgive me for playing Nirvana’s “All Apologies” to the max level. But I can’t rid my shame. The guilt, dear God, the guilt. Actually, that’s a lie, but it’s not for a lack of sorrow that some of my predicted “starts” didn’t pan out. After all, I tend to follow the advice that I give [...]
NFL Quick Hits (September 11): Steelers beat Titans but lose Polamalu, McFadden named Raiders’ starting RB, and more
Steelers Troy Polamalu Possibly Out With Sprained MCL Coach Mike Tomlin wouldn’t give a definite on the injury or how much time his star saftey would miss, but it’s not looking good. This isn’t good for Pittsburgh, though, as Polamalu was all over the field before the injury, while their pass defense saw a significant [...]
NFL Fantasy Football Start & Sit Week 1: Favre’s a go, Cutler’s a no
By now, you know the basics. You looked high and low for the best draft advice, cheat sheets, scoured all the transactions, depth charts, and roster information you could find. For all intents and purpose, you’re ready. You are as prepared as you could ever possibly be. At least you were, until Maurice Jones-Drew bruised [...]
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, [...]
Playing the Odds: NFL Week 6
Guess who’s back? The last few week-plus has been extremely busy for me, as I had some other commitments to attend to, both personal and work-related, but I’m back now, just in time to make my ATS picks for Week 6 of the NFL season. I didn’t make any picks last week, but I had [...]
Playing the Odds: NFL Week 4
As was the case with my college football picks last weekend, it was a mixed bag with the first edition of my NFL against-the-spread picks, as I went 7-9 in Week 3. Obviously the big letdown was New England, who got throttled at home by Miami, but I made a few bold picks and came [...]
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, [...]
Playing the Odds: NFL Week 3
Week 3 of the NFL season offers up a lot of potentially entertaining matchups, from Green Bay and Dallas meeting in a matchup of two of the NFL’s best, to Brett Favre making his first Monday night appearance as a Jet in San Diego, and many, many more. Here’s my take on who I think [...]
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, [...]
