The Top Five Picks, Why What and When
Having one of the top picks in your fantasy football draft is a privilege, not a right. This season having the first pick seems to be a more difficult decision than falling at the number two spot. But with names out there such as Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, Drew Brees and Maurice Jones-Drew, many people [...]
Percy Harvin Collapses At Practice
Percy Harvin reportedly collapsed while watching the Minnesota Vikings practice on Thursday morning, and was taken from the facility in an ambulance. Harvin has missed almost all of the preseason because of his grandmother’s death and migraine headaches. He also missed time last year because of his migraine issues. Fantasy owners should be concerned about Harvin’s [...]
Brett Favre Returns: Fantasy Impact
In case your television, internet, radio and phone/mobile device were all shut off on Tuesday, you’ve undoubtedly heard by now that ageless wonder Brett Favre has decided to come out of retirement… or, perhaps more appropriately, stay unretired for another season. After being harassed by three teammates in Mississippi on Monday, Favre flew to Minnesota [...]
Top 50 Players for the 2010 Season
It’s that time of year, knuckleheads. Fantasy football is back! You’ve surely got questions, so we here at Fantasy Knuckleheads have the answers! Since setting up fictional league settings and projecting their stats and point totals bores me, I’ll be making my top 50 list based on a combination of 2009 stats, 2010 projected stats, [...]
Favre From Over: Retirement Talk May Be Overblown
This morning the sports media outlets have all jumped on the Favre retirement bandwagon. And at the outset it seems it might be true. I’m not so sure it is. According to the Biloxi Sun Herald, a family source said this afternoon that Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre has made no decision regarding a 20th season [...]
Fantasy Football Sleeper Tarvaris Jackson
In all likelihood, it appears that Brett Favre is leaving the Minnesota Vikings. Tarvaris Jackson is now in play as a potential starter in Minnesota. In 2008, the year before Favre showed up, Jackson completed 88 of 149 pass attempts for 1,056 yards, 9 touchdowns, and had 2 interceptions. As someone who has watched Jackson [...]
Fantasy Analysis: 2010 Offensive Line Rankings
Believe it or not there is one player in fantasy football even less respected than the kicker, and that’s the offensive line. Though we do not draft these gridiron warriors, their impact on our fantasy teams may be a revelation for some. Most fantasy owners have no clue which teams boast the best offensive lines [...]
Fantasy Football Sleeper Chester Taylor
Chester Taylor has always had some median value in PPR (points per reception) leagues, as a pass-catching option out of the backfield for the Minnesota Vikings. He was targeted by Brett Favre 59 times in 2010, and turned that into 44 receptions. That’s a respectable 75% conversion ratio. Alas he had only two touchdowns to [...]
Fantasy Football Sleeper Jonathan Dwyer
Let me first acknowledge the bias card; I am a die hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, so I expect big things of all our players. Hell, It took me two seasons to give up on Limas Sweed. That said, I do have high expectations for Jonathan Dwyer and you’ll have to trust me when I say, [...]
New England Patriots Fantasy Projections
In 2009, a lot of excuses were made for the Patriots failing to make it deep into the playoffs. There was Tom’s knee, Wes’s knee, Randy’s beard, Gisele Bundchen (understandable), and Maroney’s impeccable ball security (yes, that’s sarcasm), but in 2010 no amount of excuses will suffice. The Patriots are as talented as ever and [...]
Fantasy Football 2010 Rookie RB Impact
This season several rookie running backs from this year’s draft have a chance to shine early for their teams and fantasy owners. Guys like Ryan Mathews, C.J. Spiller, Ben Tate, Jahvid Best and Montario Hardesty, should all get a chance to make a dent in 2010. Meanwhile, players like Jonathan Dwyer, Toby Gerhart, Dexter McCluster [...]
Buffalo Bills Fantasy Projections
Well, where to begin with the neglected and forgotten basement dwellers of the AFC East. In 2009 they struggled on offense, defense, special teams, cheerleading, stadium vendoring, etc. The Bills offseason needs were numerous and remained primarily unaddressed through both the draft and free agency, as if they are trying to slip into obscurity before [...]
2010 Fantasy Football Team Defense Rankings
UPDATED: August 12, 2010 Every year brings new surprises in fantasy production at all positions but especially for team defenses. It’s hard to gauge how strength of schedule, scheme changes, or player performance will ultimately impact the team’s defensive cohesiveness. In 2007, the San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots were the dominating team defenses. [...]
