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 [...]

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: Jon Kitna, QB, Dallas Cowboys–Kitna has excelled quietly after Tony Romo went down for the season in October. He’s put up pretty solid numbers against whichever team he’s [...]

Bills WR Steve Johnson goes Brett Favre

Buffalo Bills WR Steve Johnson had a Brett Favre moment when he accidentally sent out a Tweet with included a picture off, well, his Johnson. Johnson has been a nice discovery for the Buffalo Bills this season, scoring 10 touchdowns on 72 receptions. MediaTakeout has the photos (they are graphic) but this really begs some [...]

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

NO @ BAL This game has all the makings of being the game of the week. The Saints are on a 6 game win streak while the Ravens are fighting to get into the playoffs. The big thing that you need to know is that the Saints are going to put up points. The Ravens [...]

Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday night and Monday Night games

Things could get pretty tricky in the final two games of the Week 15 slate, with three NFC North teams involved in the week’s big contests. However, on two of them, the No. 1 QBs are both believed to be sitting due to injury (Brett Favre is out with a shoulder injury; Aaron Rodgers with [...]

7 Fantasy Players on the Downswing

In the playoffs, it is just as important to know what players to sit as it is to know who to start. In that spirit, we have listed 7 guys who you would be wise to stay away from: Kyle Orton–Denver Broncos Now we know that the Denver offense hinges on Orton. The way he’s [...]

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 [...]

Wide Receivers: You’re hot and you’re cold…

You may think that you need to have a good QB and good RBs to go into the playoffs, but chances are you are already locked in with these guys and you have been using them all season. A good boost to your team can be noting which receivers are hot and which ones are [...]

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.
