Dual Paths: Cunningham and Vick

Speed. Agility. A cannon arm. An uncanny ability to make something out of nothing. These attributes all describe one of the greatest athletes in the history of the NFL. One who had merely gotten by in the past on sheer talent alone, and then in one magical season, finally managed to combine his immense ability [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 16

A QB probably won you a championship this week or lost you one. Such is the disparity of life. Let’s review with a special QB-centric version of this week’s studs and duds. Best QB 34 points from Aaron Rodgers as he was returning from a concussion (bet you haven’t heard that line yet) and playing [...]

Week 16 Start/Sit Special Saturday Edition—Cardinals/Cowboys

Merry Christmas America! Your gift from the NFL? A meaningless, more-than-likely blowout between the offensive Cardinals (I’ve used this bad joke several times throughout the year, but whatev’s) and the Dallas Cowboys–America’s Chosen Team. Not the most exciting game out there. At least it’s fantasy relevant. So start these guys, sit these dudes, and hope [...]

Week 16 Start/Sit Special Thursday Edition—Panthers/Steelers

In last week’s Thursday start/sit column, I complained about how these Thursday night games stink a majority of the time. Well, this matchup is even worse as we, the viewing public, are supposed to watch the wretched Carolina Panthers attempt to hang with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are looking for a bounce-back win. There are [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 15

It’s Monday, we’re in the fantasy playoffs; time to review. Top Performer At one point Mike Vick had 1 fantasy point in the 2nd quarter and things didn’t look like they were going the get any better. In fact, I was in a bar with a concerned Vick owner who was losing his mind. Here [...]

Week 14 Start/Sit Special Thursday Edition—Chargers/49ers

Do you ever notice that on paper every Thursday night game looks pretty good coming into a season…and then by the mid-way point of said season, they end up being the most boring matchups possible? I guess it’s just payback for the NFL Network’s ongoing feud with cable providers everywhere that forces large amounts of [...]

FF All-Matchup Team: Stay Away From These Guys in Week 15

We did this last week…and now we’re back for more! As I wrote last week, just because a player has a bad matchup doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t start them. An example: coming into last week, Tom Brady had the second worst statistical matchup, but he excelled as his Patriots crushed the Bears. You’re just [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 14

The Brightside: Chances are that if you made it into your league’s playoff, then your matchup is likely fairly low scoring and with four teams playing tonight, you probably have a good shot to win this game. The Downside: With four teams playing tonight and some huge stars yet to go, your chances are equally [...]

Week 14 Start/Sit Special Thursday Edition—Colts/Titans

You pretty much know who you’re going to start in this game, but I might have a surprise or two for you. So let’s just get right into it, shall we? Start These Guys Peyton Manning–Yeah, he’s been turning the ball over at an alarming rate, but he’s getting enough TDs to make up for [...]
