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 [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 15

It’s Monday, we’re in the fantasy playoffs; time to review. Top Performer At one point Mike Vick had 1 fantasy point in the 2nd quarter and things didn’t look like they were going the get any better. In fact, I was in a bar with a concerned Vick owner who was losing his mind. Here [...]

FF All-Matchup Team: Stay Away From These Guys in Week 15

We did this last week…and now we’re back for more! As I wrote last week, just because a player has a bad matchup doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t start them. An example: coming into last week, Tom Brady had the second worst statistical matchup, but he excelled as his Patriots crushed the Bears. You’re just [...]

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 night and Monday Night games

The big key with trying to figure out the matchups in the Sunday night and Monday night games is knowing who can be counted on to play and to play well. If a guy playing Sunday night is questionable and not vital to your team, it’s not advisable to play him, even if the other [...]

Quarterbacks: Which are soaring and which are sinking?

If you’re in the playoffs in your fantasy football league, there’s likely one reason and one reason only—you’ve got a stud quarterback. Or, at least two decent quarterbacks and you’re smart enough to play the one with the best matchup. Because, just like real life, a good fantasy team is worthless without a good quarterback. [...]

Start These Guys and Sit Those Dudes: Week 13

This is it, folks. As Dexter would say, tonight’s the night. And, you know, today’s the day and tomorrow night is the night, too, and Thursday night was the night. Shut up, the reference still sticks. Anywho, this is it—the last week of the fantasy football regular season (unless you’re in a weird league that [...]

Studs, Duds and Fantasy Football–Week 12

The stretch run for fantasy playoff eligibility is in full effect and you’re either sitting pretty, have no chance, or likely to get in despite that fact that your team has sucked for the past two weeks. It’s a stressful time, especially when you consider that the majority of first round fantasy draft picks aren’t [...]

Rising and Falling: The Fantasy Stock of TEs

As the playoff push really begins to crank up in the next two weeks, perceived deficiencies in rosters become more glaring. Maybe you thought you were set at your No. 2 RB spot and then last week Ahmad Bradshaw went out and laid a goose egg. Maybe you were looking to ride Hakeem Nicks all [...]
