Steven Jackson: As consistent as they come

Steven Jackson seemed destined to be one of those great players that will never win anything. After his best season in 2006 where the Rams finished a respectable 8-8, St. Louis was a hot pick to make the next jump into the playoffs in ’07. I remember Trey Wingo liking the Rams for the Super [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 6

At the very least, this football season is interesting. No unbeatens, yet plenty of teams who appear to be among the elite one week, only to quickly fall from grace (what up Atlanta Falcons). This makes for a very interesting fantasy season, where true studs seem to be hard to come by. Thus far, there [...]

What We Learned in Fantasy Football from Week 5

These are all the fantasy facts that are fit to print, so…LET’S GO! Jacksonville Jaguars at Buffalo Bills Since Ryan Fitzpatrick took over in Week 3, he has been a fantasy stud. This last week, he had 220 yards and 3 TDs. That is 20 fantasy points from a Bills player. Note, too, that it [...]

Jamaal Charles not getting his due?

I believe that Jamaal Charles could be a Top 5 running back in fantasy football. I will even go so far as to say that I believe he could be a Top 5 overall RB in real football. Apparently the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, Todd Haley, doesn’t feel the same, however. This [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 5

Let the year of mediocrity continue. Last year, we had the Saints and Colts flirt with perfect seasons; this year we already lost the one undefeated team. I think I kind of prefer it that way, but I do miss having that one team that ESPN spends all their time talking about and I spend [...]

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 [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 4

Well, my waiver wire claim of the week finally failed to perform up to the standards that I expect. Justin Forsett, why do you choose to do this to me? Sure, you received by far the majority of the touches and you looked like you were ready to break one at any time, but that [...]

Start These Guys and Sit Those Dudes: Week 4

I told you guys my picks last week and my crystal ball was pretty clear. I promised you that Michael Vick wouldn’t disappoint and he didn’t. Though, admittedly, my crystal ball was a little cloudy when it came to Correll Buckhalter and Dez Bryant. Sorry if you started them as they both put up mediocre [...]

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 [...]

Start These Guys and Sit Those Dudes: Week 3

I try to stay humble, but I want to brag a little about my start/sit post last week. Almost everyone I picked did exactly what I said they would do. I did, however, recommend sitting Randy Moss who wound up decent yards and a TD, but you probably wouldn’t bench him anyway, right? There are [...]
