Week 6 Match-ups To Avoid and Exploit ~ By the Numbers
The majority of my articles are based on my experience at playing fantasy sports and an in depth knowledge of how players are performing. Last week I decided to start a column based solely on the statistics. I gave you the numbers, and let you decide if you trust what those numbers predict. So let’s [...]
Week 5, Your Starters are hurt, Now What?
ATLANTA FALCONS at SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS K Jason Elam (left hamstring) has been limited part of the week, but is probable for Sunday’s game. If he’s your kicker, you might want to pick someone else up. RB Ovie Mughelli (hamstring) is probable. Everyone else of significance is ready to play on this big [...]
Patriots Injury News – Fantasy Impact
On Friday, the New England Patriots announced that Fred Taylor will need surgery on his ankle and will miss between six and eight weeks. Meanwhile, linebacker Jerod Mayo practiced Friday and is expected to start this weekend against the undefeated Denver Broncos. What does this mean for Sunday? And beyond? Losing Taylor is a serious [...]
Week 5 Match-ups To Avoid and Exploit ~ By the Numbers
Unless you’re a stats geek with too much time on your hands, you probably don’t look too deeply at weekly match-ups, beyond this team is good, and that one stinks. Quite often, that is all you need. For those of you who want a more accurate look but don’t have the time to invest, that’s [...]
Week 5 Team Defense Rankings: Start Sit and Game Predictions
The Monday Night, Favre vs. Green Bay match up turned out to be all we could have hoped for and more, with Favre and the Vikings coming out on the winning end. The game might have panned out differently had TE Donald Lee managed to hang onto that ball in the endzone, when the packers [...]
2009 Fantasy Football Team Defense ~ 1st Qtr Update
With one quarter of the 2009 fantasy season behind us, it seemed like a good idea to take a fresh look at Team Defenses. This time we will rank them according to actual performance to date, rather than mere speculation. The biggest surprise so far is the complete fantasy collapse of the Pittsburgh Steelers vaunted [...]
Week 4, Your Starters Are Hurt, Now What?
You really have to feel for the guy who was second in MVP voting last season throwing 3,653 yards and 19 TDs vs. 7 ints. He turned the Dolphins around to help them earn their first division title since 2001 and an 11-5 record after a 1-15 season. By far the most unfortunate incident on this list. BALTIMORE RAVENS at [...]
Fantasy Update: Week 4 ~ Tight End Rankings and Start Sit
Tight end probably ranks next to kicker as most obnoxious position to fill and maintain. Even the best tight ends often score no more than a decent defense or top kicker. In PPR leagues they might do a bit better, but the options are fairly limited. Who wants to spend a high pick on a [...]
Week 4 ~ Start and Sit Team Defense and IDP
What a wickedly weird and wacky week in the NFL, and subsequently, fantasy football. I ended the week going 13-3 again. My upset of the week, the Bucs over the Giants, turned out to be my worst call through three weeks. The other two I missed were the Jags nipping the Texans, and the Steelers [...]
Week 3 ~ Start and Sit ~ Team Defense and IDP
The surprises and shake ups continue as we roll into week three. Last week I went 11-5 in my picks, though I did make some bold predictions. I really thought the Lions had a chance. I did go against my Pittsburgh Steelers, calling for a Chicago Bears upset, which was provided off the foot of [...]
Week 3 ~ Start and Sit Offense and Predictions
Drew Brees has nine touchdowns through two games, Tom Brady’s been shut out by the Jets, the top running back in New Orleans is third stringer, Mike Bell, and first round running back picks Maurice Jones-Drew, Michael Turner, Matt Forte, Steve Slaton, LaDainian Tomlinson, Steven Jackson and Brian Westbrook are not even in the top [...]
Anthony Gonzalez is out for the Colts – Week 2 Official Injury Reports for all 16 Matchups
With Tomlinson’s injury and the Chargers upcoming matchup vs. the stingy Ravens defense, you might want to stay away from a RB pick for the Bolts. If you’re a risk taker, play the 5’6″ 185-pound speedy Darren Sproles who will get the bulk of the carries this week. The NFL injury reports have added some talented players this week. [...]
Week 2 ~ Start and Sit ~ Team Defense and IDP
Last week I went 13-3 in my picks. I lost on the Panthers upset I predicted: Delhomme flat out stank it up. I missed the Jets-Texans call, and thanks to the last minute fluke play by the Bronco’s Brandon Stokely, I missed the Denver-Cincy game. Not bad for a week one full of odd surprises [...]
