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: Sunday’s afternoon games

ATL @ SEA Start: Michael Turner, RB, and Roddy White, WR, Atlanta Falcons–The Seahawks haven’t been able stop top notch receivers or running back all seasons and it doesn’t look like they’ve got what it takes to stop Atlanta’s top weapons, Turner and White. Both appear to be heating up as the season ends, which [...]

Heads Up, 7 Up (Players, that is)

Value means everything in the playoffs and just your luck, we have a gift for you this holiday season–7 players who are on the up and up: Matt Schaub, QB, Houston Texans–Although Schaub started off ice cold against the Ravens on Monday night, he finished his night with 393 yards passing and three touchdowns. He’ll [...]

FF All-Matchup Team: Start These Guys in Week 15

So you survived Week 1 of the playoffs, eh? Or are you just in one of those off-putting leagues that first starts playoffs in Week 15? (Quick side note: I had to look up “off-putting” because I thought it was “off-pudding,” which in hindsight makes no sense. Why would pudding be disconcerting? Everybody loves pudding. [...]

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 [...]

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

Cleveland at Buffalo Start: Peyton Hillis–He’s a given. Though the Dolphins figured out how to slow him down last week, the Bills really pose no defensive threat except Paul Posluszny. Ryan Fitzpatrick–I also really like Ryan Fitzpatrick in this matchup. He has Lee Evans and Steve Johnson to throw to and he has hit Johnson [...]

Running Backs: Who should you start and who should you sit?

You don’t want to look like a fool, do you? Because you will if you continue to start the same dumpy RB that put up 40 something points in Week 2. I get it; he did it once, that doesn’t mean that Jahvid Best will do it again THIS season. It’s the fantasy playoffs now [...]

FF Handcuffs You Can Win With

Welcome to the week of handcuffs. You know it’s almost time for the fantasy playoffs time when players who have had little to no fantasy value suddenly become the hot names off the waiver wire. With such big names in FF suffering injuries over the weekend (Frank Gore out for season, Adrian Peterson questionable for [...]

The Fantasy Football Wishlist

Ahh, the holiday season is upon us, and with it comes all things magical. Wishes coming true, people acting out of the goodness of their hearts, miracles becoming commonplace. It’s a time for family, food and let’s face it…fantasy football. Thanksgiving was proof—three football games on, scheduled perfectly so you can watch all day. So, [...]

Start ‘em/Sit ‘em Grades–Week 11

Alright, fans of the “Start These Guys, Sit Those Dudes” post, we’re going to do a post each week grading our picks. That’s right grading. No, not like middle school with A+’s and stuff like that. But, you could think of it that way if you want. Consider a ‘10’ to be an A+ then [...]
