How did your 2012 Fantasy Football season go!?! I’m going to guess it went good – especially since you’re still reading about Fantasy Football in January. Well, Fantasy Football also went good for these guys – or at least, it went good for them for at least one week. I took a look back over …
Outside of counting up and spending your winnings, the best thing about the end of the Fantasy Football season is looking back and judging. While the 2012 Fantasy Football Awards officially mean very little, it’s always nice to look back before you look forward. And in keeper leagues, it’s always nice to taunt fellow owners …
Robert Griffin III played well in his second-to-last regular season game of his rookie year, one week after he sprained his LCL, but was it enough to help you in your Fantasy Football playoffs? As he continues to rip off one huge game after another, it dawned on me that he has to be approaching …

You're ohhhhhh so close to sitting atop your Fantasy league as the 2012 champion. You're either in the Fantasy Football championship game or you are at least in the Final Four. I guess there's even a possibility you're playing for third place in a consolation game, like I am in one league .... Stupid Dennis …
Heading either into the second round of your playoffs, or into the first week of your playoffs (still doing the Week 17 championship thing, eh?), these are the days that Fantasy Football owners begin to wish they drafted a stud running back in the first round.

Did the injury to Robert Griffin III or Dez Bryant or Percy Harvin ruin your prospects for winning a playoff game in Week 15!?! Let's hope not.

We know how much the 2012 Fantasy Rookies helped owners out, especially Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck and Doug Martin. Paymon Shokoohi did a great job …
It’s time to put our Fantasy money where our heart is with the Fantasy Cares program. My buddies over at RotoExperts.com partnered up last month with a company called Snoball, to create a program called, “Fantasy Cares,” which raises money for select non-profit organizations. What does that mean to you? It means you can play …
So you've managed to navigate the wavy seas of the Fantasy Football regular season -- complete with its mandatory bye weeks, surprise injuries and variety of other pitfalls -- and made it into the playoffs. Congratulations! The real work is about to begin. The natural temptation is to simply employ the same managerial strategy that …
It comes down to this. There's just one game left for most of you, before the Fantasy Football playoffs begin. Unfortunately, for many of you, injuries are ravaging your running back corps. No more bye weeks and no more second chances. It all comes down to this! Hopefully, these Week 13 Fantasy Football RB Rankings …
Did Week 13 treat you well? With all 32 teams in action over the Turkey Day weekend, was that a good thing (Cam Newton owners) or a bad thing (Brian Hartline owners)? Hopefully, these Week 13 Fantasy Football rankings will help you make that final push to either: Secure a bye week, get into the …
There are 16 games in Week 12. That's right. SIXTEEN GAMES! OMG! LOL! MY KEYBOARD IS STUCK!!! ... OK, for real, 16 games in Week 12, and there are three -- count 'em -- three games on Turkey Day. With 16 games, that means there are 32 starting running backs to choose from for your …

After being named the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Month for October, Buccaneers RB Doug Martin went out in Week 9 and blew away Raiders defenders, his Fantasy Football owners and the opponents of said Fantasy Football owners.

It's a three-game sprint to the Fantasy playoffs, and Week 11 is special in that it's the last week of bye weeks. That means you'll be picking up a kicker or defense to replace players like Blair Walsh and Seahawks DST. But that also means that many owners will be dropping very good kickers and …
This is it! The final week of bye weeks! And with just three weeks left in the Fantasy Football regular season, you can't afford to make any mistakes. If you have a 4-6 record, you still have a shot at a three-game winning streak and making it into the Fantasy playoffs. But there is very …
Did you run out and get Marcel Reece or Chris Ivory or some other flavor-of-the-week running back? I'm not mocking, of course, but just pointing out the insanity that is the Fantasy running back position. Think of how many running backs we've ripped through, including the FOUR running backs that are barely worth anything in …
Just four games left until the end of the regular season! How did this happen!?! It was just yesterday that you thought you were going to go undefeated -- and then Week 1 happened! With a month left, we really have to tighten up! Here are the Week 10 Fantasy Football Rankings to help get …

The Week 8 Fantasy Football RB Rankings just made your late-October mid-week awesome.

Bye weeks continue to wreak havoc on our Fantasy Football lineups. With four more teams off with a bye, the Week 6 Fantasy RB Rankings look pretty thin. On your bench go running backs like Darren Sproles, DeAngelo Williams, Maurice Jones-Drew and Matt Forte. (I doubt you're going to miss Jonathan Stewart and Mark Ingram …
Did you enjoy last week's #TwitMock Fantasy Football Redraft? In case you missed it, I got 11 other Fantasy Football writers together from sites like CBSSports.com, SI.com and Yahoo! Sports, and we did a four-round mock draft as if the season started before Week 5. And now, here we are with the Week 6 Fantasy …

I need you to step into your imagination for just a little bit. I need you to close your eyes and – no, wait! DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES! You can’t read if your eyes are closed! OK, that was close. I need you to imagine you were stuck on a space station for the past …
There weren't many crazy surprises in the first couple rounds of our #TwitMock Fantasy Football Redraft 2012. While Robert Griffin III and Reggie Bush might have raised a couple eyebrows, there are still plenty of arguments to support both selections.

Just in case you've been in a coma for the past few weeks, or stuck in a Chilean mine (timely analogy!), we thought it would be good to see what the first four rounds of a Fantasy Football Redraft would look like if we started it just after Week 4 of the regular season. I …
Bye weeks are upon us like a shutdown cornerback on a cool autumn afternoon. (I paint a pretty picture, no?) With four teams off with a bye, the Week 5 Fantasy RB Rankings look thinner than ever. On your bench go running backs like Doug Martin, DeMarco Murray, Mikel LeShoure and Darren McFadden. (OK, sure, …
Things have been pretty crazy around the DavidGonos.com world, between providing SI.com with some extra content, working with the great people at DraftDay.com promoting their product and getting my company's website ready for launch, I've needed eight arms.

What if NBC decided to cancel “Seinfeld” after just six episodes? What if the Patriots decided not to give Bill Belichick a shot after his bad tour in Cleveland? What if [insert awkward analogy that doesn’t really fit here]? That’s right, if all those things happened, we would have missed out on some greatness. As …
The running backs position has already seen a few injuries, and it has even seen a few comebacks from injuries, too. There's no doubt that even in this pass-happy NFL culture, your running backs are still the backbone of your Fantasy team. We took care of the Week 2 QB/WR/TE Fantasy Football rankings yesterday. Our Week …

Obviously, these rankings are a day or two late, but man, I never realized how much easier it was to do rankings after games are played than it is before! Next week, the rankings will be up on Wednesday and Thursday. Labor Day and the Democratic National Convention will be long gone by then. I …
Man, it sure was nice to have real football action on Wednesday night. (Wednesday football? It’s like Christmas in July!) The Cowboys upset the Giants, who had a little Super Bowl hangover going, and it was the first time the NFL champ lost their season opener in years. (Side grumble: Remember when the Bucs won …
In order to save my brain from exploding, I'm going to post my weekly rankings in two sets: QB/WR/TE and then RB/K/DST. Most likely, these will be posted on Wednesdays and Thursdays respectively. It's always a relatively frustrating endeavor that's useless exactly four days later, but weekly rankings are a very important part to any …
What an amazing season turned in by Saints TE Jimmy Graham!?! He caught a position-high 99 passes for 1,310 yards, with 11 touchdowns, and an incredible 197 points! He scored more Fantasy points than any other tight end in NFL history, and he has to rank as the best at his position in the 2012 …
Welcome to the ProFootballMatchups.com breakdown of the Cowboys vs Giants game to kickoff the regular season for the NFL!

The defense was a major disappointment in 2011, allowing 343.2 yards per game, with 244.1 of those yards …
Generally, the top 60 overall Fantasy rankings should be a great guide to help you along your first few rounds. Some might want to stick to these rankings by the book, but my suggestion is that you look at them more in a fluid sense, and go off the position rankings more than just the …
When assembling the 2012 Fantasy Running Back Rankings recently, it dawned on me that we’re in a weird era. We don’t have an unquestioned No. 1 guy that has been atop the rankings for three years or so, like we did in the ‘90s with Emmitt Smith and Terrell Davis, or in the ‘00s with …
Before the season begins, TradeDebate.com examined all 32 teams Fantasy potential, and ranked them according to their expected Fantasy output. These Fantasy power rankings are based on the rewards that the team as a whole will give the owners of whom they have drafted players. The first half of teams examines the bottom half of …
The passing game has taken over the Fantasy Football world, and the 2012 Fantasy Wide Receiver Rankings should show it. But here’s the thing – it still shouldn’t change much in how you should approach your Fantasy draft. While quarterbacks are blowing up, throwing for more yardage and more touchdown passes, the wide receiver position …
It's safe to say that the 2012 Fantasy quarterback rankings have never looked as strong as they are this year.
