Start These Guys and Sit Those Dudes: Week 5

Though my recommendations for starters were hit and miss last week, I did call the LT explosion. Plus, my sit recommendations were spot on, despite that Brandon Jacobs finally had an OK week. Here are the stats for my sit recommendations. Honestly, I was surprised that Portis got 7 points. Ray Rice: 2 pts Jermaine [...]

What We Learned in Fantasy Football from Week 4

The league is all shook up about Randy Moss, but there was a ton of other big news and things to learn from this week’s action. Follow me as I tell you the things that you need to know, and again, yes, Randy Moss was traded to the Vikings. You weren’t dreaming that. –In the [...]

What We Learned in Fantasy Football from Week 3

Wow, what an exciting week, and even more interesting slate of games if you had the guts to start Cleveland RB Peyton Hillis against the Ravens. There is a lot that we can learn after Week 3. We are 1/6 of the way through the season and we can start following trends that are developing. [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 3

If you haven’t been paying attention to this column, then you’ve been making a grave mistake. So far, my two waiver wire claims-of-the-week (Michael Vick and Mark Sanchez) have accounted for 7 total TDs since I gave them this distinguished position. I also recently profiled Kyle Orton, who promptly went out and passed for 476 [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 2

Week 2 is in the books and it’s been a weird season. Teams everyone though would contend for the Super Bowl look awfully far off from that goal (Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings) while a multitude of perceived bottom feeders are 2-0 (Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers). So, what does this mean for [...]

Fringe Starters for Week 2

You probably don’t need much advice on who to start for your fantasy leagues this week. After all, it’s still insanely early in the season (as Tony noted) and you can’t really draw any conclusions at this point. It’s my job to jump to conclusions and play fortune teller however, so don’t mind me as [...]

Fantasy Football Team Rundown–Preseason Edition

Unlike my colleague Alex, who doesn’t like to have more than three leagues, I chose to be a part of four fantasy leagues for the 2010 season. I originally was only going to do two, but one of those fell out and I was offered a league through my old work (The Daily Vidette at [...]

How many fantasy football leagues is too many?

Currently, I am in three fantasy football leagues, which makes me the owner of 43 different players (I’m counting the defenses as just one, and I have five players that are on more than one of my teams). Remember that there are only 11 players on the field on any given play, which gives me about four total [...]

Players I Love Vol. IV: Larry Fitzgerald

(This is part 4 of a 5-part series, check back soon for part 5 and for another edition of players I’m not so fond of…) Usually I reserve a place in this column for players who technically qualify as “sleepers,” or at the very least, mid-round picks which I believe will exceed expectations. Larry Fitzgerald [...]

Players I Love, Vol. II

(This is part 2 of a 5-part series. Check back soon for part 5 and for another edition of players I hate..) He’s one of the tallest quarterbacks in the league at 6-6. He has a rocket arm that could put a hole through the moon. He’s never completed less than 60% of his passes, [...]
