Chicago Bears D/ST Will be Fantasy Football’s Best Under Joe DeCamillis

Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports

The Chicago Bears defense/special teams (D/ST) was fantasy football’s best in 2012 by a mile. If you got lucky like me, you snagged this unit in Round 13 because you were shocked it was still available and then sat back and watch it pile up points for you all season long. Of course, that production [...]

Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday’s early games

DET @ MIA Start: Calvin Johnson You have to. If you’re in the Championship, Calvin is one of the guys that got you there. Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games.

Week 11 Start/Sit Special Thursday Edition—Bears/Dolphins

Week 10 kicked off the best part of the NFL season—Thursday night games. That means games three days a week now. The only thing better is when they start playing games on Saturday night late in the season and then four out of the seven days of the week are filled with NFL games. That’s [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 8

That was a terrible weekend of football. In all my leagues, scoring across the board was down as every NFL team basically played below their capabilities. I know this season has been filled with the term “parity,” but as weeks like this one continue to pile up, it becomes clearer that there just might be [...]

Are the Chicago Bears just pretending?

After the Bears’ improbable win Monday night, my friend Chris posted a Facebook status reading: “If I would have told you, with Big Ben suspended, that the Steelers would go 3-0 along with the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears at the start of the season, what would you have thought?” Now, I gave [...]
