Scott’s Fantasy Football All-Star Team

It’s been a weird fantasy season in some ways. We had the usual surprise RBs that jumped to the top of the heap (and will subsequently be over-drafted next fantasy season), but we also had those REALLY surprising performers. Since I’m in a reflective mood, I decided to compile an all-star fantasy team. Here’s a [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 17

The fantasy season is now officially over. Hopefully you walked away with a championship. If you didn’t (like me) then there’s plenty of people to be angry at. Let’s review. The Champion Well Arian Foster certainly knows how to finish. After opening this season with a 41-point explosion, he closes it with a 31-point outburst. [...]

Why your fantasy league should not go into Week 17

There are three things in this world that we as Americans can count on without fail: Death, taxes, and the uselessness of Week 17 of the NFL season. While the first two are obviously more important in the grand scheme of things, Week 17 of the NFL season has to be one of the most [...]

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 [...]

Start’em and Sit’em: Monday night and Tuesday (??) Night games

These Sunday night and Monday night games are so important to fantasy matchups every week. Even if you’ve built a big lead, your opponent can still have some huge games left in the National spotlight and your lead can suddenly evaporate. But, of course, it can go the other way, too. You can catch up [...]

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. Man, I sounded like Ron Jaworski there. Brandon Marshall Same as above about big-time players. Marshall’s been having a down year, but had [...]

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

SD @ CIN Start: Philip Rivers, QB, San Diego Chargers–Despite the Chargers’ poor record, Rivers has put up outstanding numbers all season long, even without some of his top playmakers available. Well, now that most of his playmakers are back, he has an atrocious Bengals’ defense on the menu. Vincent Jackson, WR, San Diego Chargers–It’s [...]

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 [...]

7 Fantasy Players on the Downswing

Even if you are playing in the consolation bracket, there is no excuse for failure. If you drafted Ryan Mathews in the second round, lost Jermichael Finley and drafted Kevin Kolb, there is no reason to give up now. So, these are the guys you should stay away from in these last weeks of fantasy [...]
