In last week’s Thursday start/sit column, I complained about how these Thursday night games stink a majority of the time. Well, this matchup is even worse as we, the viewing public, are supposed to watch the wretched Carolina Panthers attempt to hang with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are looking for a bounce-back win. There are [...]

It’s Championship Week in Fantasy Football! For many of you, this is the last week of the season. Either you are fighting for the league title or just trying to earn some pride points and net third place or another victory. And I’ll bet you’re still questioning who you should start and who you should [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Usually I write a brief introductory paragraph for this column…but I’ve basically said the same thing every week. “What a weird season/man, there just aren’t any consistent fantasy studs/I hope the Patriots don’t make the Super Bowl.” Being repetitive is real boring though, so let’s just get to it. Catchphrase: With that all being said, [...]

Here comes the difficult time of fantasy year–the playoffs. By now you probably have a pretty good idea where you stand in your league’s playoff race. You’re either a lock to be in, fighting for your life or you’re hopelessly out of it. If you fall into the final category, then this article probably isn’t [...]

I saw an actual fantasy football fantasy this week. A friend of mine (who will rename anonymous under the pseudonym “Dusty Mills”) put up 184 points in a standard ESPN league. This was an incredible feat and if you have a bottle of champagne in arm’s reach of where you are sitting, please pop one [...]
