Week 16 Start or Sit, Photo Credit: Rick Osentoski AP

If you are still alive, I am willing bet you either had Jamaal Charles or at least didn't play against him after his historic Week 15 outburst. A lot of people are in their championship this week, while some may still have a week left. It's time to earn that championship trophy. so let's take …

Antonio Brown, 2013 Fantasy Wide Receivers Rankings

If you're still reading our Week 15 Fantasy Start or Sit column, this is good news for your Fantasy season! It's do or die time for Fantasy Football owners right now. Will you be back reading this column next week!?! One bad move and you could be looking forward to August of 2014, and I …

Rod Streater, Week 15 Waiver Wire

If you’re lucky enough to still be interested in Fantasy this time of year, I applaud you. If you’re skilled enough to have earned a bye week this week, the players below could offer some backup off of the Week 15waiver wire. Picking those players up now, before the two winners of the Week 14 …

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Miami Dolphins

It's playoff time for many of us, and we just need that one player to get us over the hump. Hopefully, I can share some Week 14 sleepers that can help you forge ahead. Some of us need to get our heads out of our rump. I played Danny Woodhead over Ben Tate last week …

It is time for the Fantasy playoffs and it is no time to joke around. Make sure your playoff run keeps on going by taking a look into every Week 14 Fantasy Football matchup. Many times, your lineup decisions come down to one or two big decisions, so we hope this weekly preview will help …

After everyone gained 10 pounds Thursday we were given a good day of football. Here is a look back at the action from week 13 and some helpful notes for your playoff run.       Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions 12:30 pm Thursday This was a really ugly game for Green Bay. Matt …

Jacob Tamme, Week 13 Sleepers

With the NFL bye weeks finished for this season, the need for players that are flying under the radar has diminished  a bit. However, many of our rosters are suffering from injuries and plain old under performance. I'm going to hone in on four Week 13 sleepers that I feel can be game changers this …

330-1tbQ3w.AuSt.55

Andy Germani takes a quick look at each game from the weekend in his Week 12 Fantasy recap. Did your players do what you expected them to do? What are we to make of some of these big games by no-names, and bad outings by some superstars? We're finally out of the woods, as this …

Week 12 Sleepers

It felt good to be back in the saddle last week looking for players to help make that final push to the playoffs. Let's see how last week's sleepers performed before we go into the Week 12 sleepers. Josh McCown threw for 216 yards and no picks. Those aren't stats that are going to make your …

Helpful Tips - Fantasy Football Playoffs

The Fantasy Football playoffs are a short sprint after a 13-week endurance run, and you have to think of them a little differently. This article was submitted as a guest piece from Andy Germani. We do like to post guest articles from writers, so if you're interested, read the bottom of this article to see …

Josh McCown, Week 11 Sleepers

With a week off to refresh my creative juices (Thank you, Mr. Gonos), I look forward to providing you with some great Week 11 sleepers. Hopefully, last week, some of you had the foresight to start a player like  Tavon Austin. I have to admit, I didn't see that coming. Not against the Colts. Brian Hartline would …

Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints 2012 Fantasy Tight End Rankings

The Fantasy Fatcast continues their midseason 2014 Mock Draft, looking ahead to what Round 2 might look like. Eric Mack of Bleacher Report and Brett Tresky, who now has over 2,000 Twitter followers, join me, SI.com's David Gonos, to talk some Fantasy Football before Week 11! We also discuss the Perfect Lineup game at DraftDay.com, …

2014 Mock Draft

The fellas take a step back to look two steps forward, as they break down what they think the first round of a 2014 Mock Draft would look like. In this podcast, Bleacher Report's Eric Mack, SI.com's David Gonos and host Brett Tresky take turns making picks for a faux first round mock in Fantasy …

Daryl Richardson, Fantasy Breakout Players

With six teams on bye weeks last weekend, and six teams on byes this week, many owners are looking for some Week 9 sleepers. Last week, many owners scraped the bottom of the barrel to fill their rosters. How did you do if you took my advice? Same as usual -- about half and half. …

Bleacher Report's Eric Mack and I join host Brett Tresky for another Fantasy Fatcast, where we discuss some trades in our leagues, some keeper decisions to make and the Week 9 matchups. But we also bring in DavidGonos.com columnist Devon Jordan to talk about his most recent article, which details RBs strength of schedule for …

Jake Locker, Week 2 QB Rankings

Before we get right into the Week 9 Waiver Wire Adds, I'd like to note; Marvin Jones should have been included in this column already. The reason he wasn't is simple. Personal attachment to Mohamed Sanu. After watching his nifty three-week stretch last season, where he scored 4 times and was pegged as a Sleeper …

Leonard Hankerson, Week 8 Sleepers

This week, I am going to mix it up a little bit and look back at some sleepers I picked early this year and see how they have been doing as well as give you my picks for this week. But before we do that, lets see how last week's group performed. If you thought …

Fantasy FatCast Podcast, 400x400

Bleacher Report's Eric Mack and I get together for another podcast, previewing the Week 8 matchups (sorta) and looking at six different Fantasy players to target for this second half. There are a couple names that should surprise you, for sure. We also help several callers with their Fantasy Football lineup issues, including two guys …

roy.helu.dg

Seven days ago, before this Week 8 Waiver Wire Adds column, I began last week's article with a list of injuries to a number of Fantasy Football's top flight talents. This week is no different. The 2013 Fantasy Football landscape has been ravaged with injuries, it is unlikely that anyone has avoided the carnage and …

Nick Foles, Eagles quarterbacks

Last week's pick were not quite as good as some of my prior picks, but I took a few chances on some very iffy players. Hopefully, my Week 7 sleepers will do even better. Tampa Bay's Brian Leonard didn't get a carry or a reception or a sniff at running back. I guess they will …

Eddie Lacy, 2013 Fantasy Rookies

The Fantasy Fatcast boys got together for their regular weekly podcast this week, and we did a quick one-round 2013 Fantasy rookies redraft, just to see what we think of this class now that we're six weeks into the season. We also previewed the Week 7 matchups, which have some interesting games on the docket, …

The injuries keep piling on, Julio Jones, Randall Cobb and DeMarco Murray will all miss time, to name a few and a number of players are emerging Fantasy Options. Personally, Andre Ellington could emerge a true Fantasy force come Playoff time and is someone to target in all formats. Additionally, if Nick Foles continues to …

Week 6 Sleepers

Before I get into the Week 6 sleepers, let's see how I did last week. In honor of the MLB playoffs, I will categorize my picks with some baseball terminology. Home Run Vincent Brown killed it for the Chargers last week -- 8 catches for well over 100 yards. That's knocking it out of the park …

Jason Avant, Week 5 Sleepers

Before we get into these Week 5 sleepers, I'm not above taking a look at how I did last week. I finally called a QB that had a good game. After lighting up Dallas, Philip Rivers is having pretty good year. As a matter of fact, I'm starting him this weekend over Colin Kaepernick. Especially …

Another week, another injury to deal with. Darren McFadden owners are cringing and Ray Rice's are wondering why he even played at all. Andre Johnson proved that sometimes all it takes is a kick in the shin to catch 9 balls for 110 yards, while C.J. Spiller, Alfred Morris and LeSean McCoy are all dealing …

Last week was interesting for my sleeper picks. That's a nice way of saying that they pretty much sucked. What gives me some hope for future prognostication prowess is that I was close. What does that mean -- and what does that mean for the Week 4 sleepers? I had Chris Ivory picked to do …

jason.snelling.dg

The Bye Week bonanza begins now, which makes your waiver wire surfing all the more important and potentially rewarding. Keep your eyes peeled for potential improvements that others are dropping, or plan your own lineup complications a week in advance to avoid over spending, or potentially losing out. But ultimately, make your moves count. If …

I write Daily Fantasy Football strategy columns for DFSEdge.com each week, and that means I usually play on several different Daily Fantasy sites each week. And in my FanDuel column on Saturday, I thought it interesting how many crazy running back situations there are this week, due to injuries and the Trent Richardson trade. So …

Lamar Miller, 2013 Fantasy Football All-Risk Team

Time to take a look at some players that might be gathering dust on your roster, but this may be the week to clean 'em off and get them in the lineup. We're going to talk Week 3 sleepers! Last week my readers benefited from reasonable performances by my Week 2 Sleepers. Almost all of …

a.smith.dg

Two deep and it has been everything you've waited for since last December when your league's championship was won right? Remember it isn't time to give up on some top options. Steven Ridley will turn it around and Roddy White will get going eventually. Cam Newton started slow last season and was the best QB …

9319256289_84761f50ef

In Fantasy Football, points are important, but points relative to the position a player plays is more important. Colin Kaepernick scored 30 points last week and was the second highest second highest scorer in fantasy football, but was that performance impressive when the top twelve quarterbacks—the amount of quarterbacks played in a standard league—averaged 25 …

Jay Cutler, Week 2 Sleepers

Fantasy owners far and wide are chasing ever-elusive Week 2 sleepers -- the guy that will make the whole league gasp and wonder where he came from. It is safe to say that last week's biggest surprise was the Denver's Julius Thomas, which I gave to my readers. We won't talk about some of my …

t.pryor.dg

Week 1 is in the books, you won, you lost, you might have even notched the rare draw. Regardless, it isn't time to sit on your roster, here are your top Week 2 Waiver Wire Adds. We already looked at some potential additions this weekend, but after the action this week more have emerged. Week …

roy.helu.dg

You wont find Julius Thomas on this list. You saw enough of him Thursday night. Instead here are 5 Week 1 Free Agents to Target, even before we see anymore Week 1 games. It is unlikely that there will be an Alfred Morris type darling sitting around on Monday morning, but currently there are some available …

As I sat down and cranked out these Week 1 lineup rankings I shed a tear. I openly wept for the demise of my offseason rankings, where I dug deep, churned and stressed over. I cried for the multitudes of mock drafts that are meaningless now. I was sullen over the fact that – I …

Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers

As we look down our rosters every week, sometimes we wind up with more questions than answers when we're trying to decide who to start. There are certainly no-brainers every week, but often we will be looking at a position on our roster that is weak. We draft players every year that we hope to …

Fantasy FatCast Podcast, 400x400

Eric Mack is writing his start/sit column for BleacherReport.com, and I'm writing the Week 1 Start or Sit column for SI.com this season. We both discuss ,with host Brett Tresky, each of the upcoming Week 1 NFL matchups from a Fantasy perspective. Emack and Tresky also share their pick for the best survivor pick for …

Browns RB Trent Richardson, 2013 Fantasy Football PPR Rankings

If you’re checking out the Top 200 Fantasy Football 2013 PPR Rankings, then know that I have much respect for you. This means a lot -- and you should be proud. You are an evolved Fantasy species! By reading these 2013 PPR Rankings, you’re telling me that you are one of the 28 percent of Fantasy Football …

Randall Cobb, Week 1 WR Rankings

These 2013 Fantasy Football Rankings go 200 players deep, but you need to understand that a Fantasy owner should consider his own team needs from the top 60 or so players, rather than just go with the top-ranked player in these rankings. Or else -- you'll end up with like four quarterbacks. Once an owner …

Reggie Wayne, 2014 WR Rankings

While many think of PPR wide receiver rankings as essentially the same rankings as non-PPR leagues, there are obviously some subtle differences. In the past, we’d just aim for the slot receivers that were pulled as the team got in scoring position for an extra tight end. Or we’d target players that were on low-scoring …

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay - 2013 Fantasy QB Rankings

To say that the 2013 Fantasy Quarterback rankings is a deep and talented pool is like saying Richard Pryor had a good sense of humor. Last year, we entered our Fantasy Football drafts knowing that there were three GREAT quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Tom Brady, and a handful of very good quarterbacks …

Roger Craig, PPR Running back rankings

In every 10 Fantasy Football leagues, about three of them play in PPR leagues. For that 30 percent, getting good PPR running back rankings is essential! We aim to please this summer, as we take a look at the best PPR running backs in Fantasy. Near the end of the ‘90s, people began to understand …

Doug Martin, 2013 Fantasy RB Rankings

Do the 2013 Fantasy Running Back Rankings even matter anymore? I mean, we've beaten you over the head recently with quotes on passing statistics, and how the NFL had a record 11 quarterbacks with over 4,000 passing yards last season. So obviously, running backs are about as useful as a Fantasy writer and skinny jeans. …

Jason Witten, PPR Tight End Rankings

Fantasy owners in PPR leagues don’t normally change their opinions, too much when they look at 2013 Fantasy Football Tight End PPR Rankings. Or at least, they don’t change their standard rankings as much as PPR Running Back Rankings or PPR Wide Receiver Rankings. Basically, when adjusting your standard rankings to PPR rankings for tight …

Brandon Marshall, 2013 Fantasy WR Rankings

As you’ve no doubt been reading over the past few months, the NFL has turned into a mega-passing league, which spills over into the 2013 Fantasy Wide Receiver Rankings. But unlike the quarterbacks position, this vertical explosion has given the wide receiver position depth in the Fantasy third and fourth strings. While the top quarterbacks …

Aaron Hernandez, 2013 Fantasy Tight End Rankings

The 2013 Fantasy Tight End Rankings are full of questions and potential and possible disappointment. You have incredible amounts of talent near the top, mixed with plenty of pitfalls and opportunities for busts. NFL offenses have become more prolific in the air than ever before, with 16 different quarterbacks throwing 500 or more pass attempts …

Matt Prater, 2013 Fantasy Kicker Rankings

Look at you! Checking out the 2013 Fantasy Kicker Rankings! You should be commended and lauded for your thirst for Fantasy knowledge and your ever-growing need to be on top of your Fantasy game at all times. Now, you must understand that kicker rankings are the easiest/toughest to assemble. We have a great idea of …

Seahawks DST, Week 2 Defense Rankings

There are a few things you should always keep in mind when you start to look at 2013 Fantasy Defense rankings on any site. Scoring systems, more than any other position, affect the rankings of defense/special teams greatly. As a matter of fact, some scoring systems don’t even use special teams in their scoring, or …

9 Last-Second Fantasy Tips -- Kenbrell Thompkins

You can only take in so many pieces of advice when preparing for your draft, so I thought I'd come up with some last-second Fantasy tips to confuse your mind further. Actually, did you know that during a speech, orators are told that listeners generally remember THREE things during that talk, so they try to …

gio.bernard.dg

To most they're simply Sleeper Picks, but I prefer the Super Sexy Secret Sleeper Pick phrase. So when you add a few 2013 Fantasy Football Sleepers to your roster feel free to add a few extra S words. Believe me, it feels good. Speaking of 2013 Fantasy Football Sleepers, who was in the know on …

Alfred Morris, Fantasy Sophomore Rankings

Last year was a great season for rookie NFL players. I can't remember a season when so many rookies impacted Fantasy Football leagues. It certainly sets up for more great production from Fantasy Football sophomores for 2013. If you only listen to the talking heads, you would think that the quarterback play of last year's …

Miles Austin, Week 3 Sleepers

The stock market is a lot like Fantasy Football. When a player’s value is at their lowest, it’s wise to invest in that stock, especially one that has nothing to lose. I have formulated a list of veterans that I believe are Fantasy value plays and whose stocks are relatively low. Some of these players …

Have you decided to dabble on the Dark Side and venture into IDP Fantasy Football? If so, here are your 2013 IDP Rankings, done by position and with a complete 195 Player Overall list. It is a tough go in these IDP Leagues though friends, there really isn't a set standard scoring system and with …

Fantasy FatCast Podcast, 400x400

Just before tonight's Fantasy Fatcast podcast, my computer decided to restart, with 11 updates. (I don't need the lectures, IT guys.) So Tresky and Emack flew solo … together. They had a caller from Chicago, Joel Henard, ask some Fantasy questions about Jay Cutler, Matt Forte and second-year wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who Emack is …

One of the biggest questions on Fantasy owners' minds this year is, "Will Adrian Peterson come close to another 2,000 yards this year?" Let's take a deep breath and realize that only seven players in the history of the NFL have rushed for 2,000 yards in a season. And no one has ever done it …

Winning Your fantasy Draft

I formulated a list in which I believe is crucial in winning your Fantasy draft. Some of these techniques and suggestions may be obvious or bizarre, but I believe it is a set of rules to help guide any Fantasy Football owner to success. With my analysis from past seasons and noted tendencies, I’ve taken …

Le'Veon Bell, 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie RB Rankings

The NFL Draft is behind us, training camps are around the corner, and now we can step back and look at rankings for the top NFL Fantasy Football Rookies for 2013. Last year's set of rookies was one of the best in NFL history, so it's going to be interesting to see what this group …

Robert Woods, 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie WR Rankings

The 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie WR Rankings aren’t exciting and spectacular, filled with superstar college wide receivers like we had in recent years. In 2012, we were all atwitter over the arrival of Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon joining Jacksonville. And the year before that, we had Georgia’s A.J. Green having us drool with …

Marcus Lattimore, 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie RB Rankings

Checking the 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie RB Rankings is always a good idea, especially throughout training camp. Unfortunately, most Fantasy Football owners will be looking for a player like Doug Martin and Trent Richardson, only to be disappointed they took a rookie runner higher than the third round in their draft. It’s true, last year’s …

Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati - 2013 Fantasy Rookie TE Rankings

Nearly every year, we end up hearing a lot of hype surrounding some rookie tight end. This year, however, the 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie Tight End rankings are topped off by a player that is joining a team with a pretty good pass-catching tight end already. More on him in a bit! Last year, we …

Calvin & Hobbes, What’s the Best Draft Spot

Let’s figure out the best draft spot! One of the great features of using the Draft Wizard by FantasyPros.com is that you can not only mock for free – but you can mock to your heart’s content! So I decided to do 12 different Fantasy Football mock drafts this morning, and using their post-draft analytics, …

On Tuesday night, I took part in a 2013 PPR Mock Draft held on MockDraftCentral.com by FantasyTrade411.com for their upcoming Fantasy Football draft guide. I was quite unhappy with my draft, as I chose to pick in the 12th spot, hoping to see what kind of advantages I could make for myself, having back-to-back picks …

Fantasy Football Mock Draft

Some argue whether a Fantasy Football mock draft will help multiple people figure out what to expect in their upcoming drafts, but I don’t think anyone will argue how helpful doing a mock draft yourself really is. It’s one of the only exercises in the world that people just flat out enjoy. If only mock …

There are all kinds of strategies to assembling a Fantasy Football team, but an approach I seem to find myself sticking to across all Fantasy Sports is ensuring to balance my high risk picks with what I consider safe and reliable options.

Julio Jones, Fantasy Football Keeper Rankings

Over the past decade or so, we’ve seen some great wide receivers, especially compared to the couple decades that preceded them. That means the 2013 Fantasy Wide Receiver Keeper rankings have a little more weight to them than they did 15 years ago. With PPR, FLEX and 3-WR leagues sprouting up everywhere, this position has …

Ryan Tannehill, Fantasy Quarterback Keeper Rankings

Doing up a set of Fantasy Quarterback Keeper rankings is always a fun exercise. You no longer see has-beens and old vets that should be put out to pasture, and instead you see promise in young quarterbacks, hoping they’ll fulfill their potential after being high draft picks. Then again, you also get cynical and you …

Michael Vick, Quarterback Position Battles

The key component to any NFL franchise these days is the quarterback. Look at all of the past 10 Super Bowl champions; they all had Super Bowl-caliber quarterbacks. The teams I’ll be discussing are not Super Bowl-caliber teams. However, these quarterbacks are crucial for Fantasy production for numerous other players. I hope to clear up …

Kyle Rudolph, Tight End Keeper Rankings

Depending on how many players you’re allowed to keep in your league, you might be considering these 2013 Fantasy Tight End keeper rankings a little harder. (I already took a look at the QB Keepers, RB Keepers and WR Keepers.) In general, if you are only allowed two or three keepers, then unless you have …

Albert Morris, 2013 Fantasy Running Back Keeper Rankings

There is no more important position for keeper leagues than running backs, and these 2013 Fantasy Running Back Keeper Rankings should be the most important set of rankings you read on this site. My god, man, your Fantasy life depends on it! (Earlier this week, we previewed the 2013 Fantasy Quarterback Keepers.) First, though, I …

While we have control over what kind of toppings we have on our pizza and what kind of beer we drink—hopefully you enjoy strong IPAs, otherwise I have very little respect for you—there are many, more important structures in our lives that we have no control over: the laws of the cities we live in, …

Geno Smith, 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie QB

When looking through the 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie QB Rankings on your favorite sites, you’ll no doubt be affected by the recent seasons put forth by players like Andy Dalton, Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson. Unfortunately, having visions of those stellar rookie seasons in your head will do you no …

San Francisco 49ers, 2013 Offensive Line Rankings

Everyone knows that a good offensive line makes a world of difference for skill position players, so these 2013 Offensive Line Rankings should help you decipher which QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs are in for good seasons ahead. Remember that a good running back is only as good as the offensive line that blocks for …

Nate Burleson, Wide Receiver Fantasy Steals

We’re going to give you six very good passing teams that have non-committal wide receiver positions. And we're going to tell you which guys to look out for in your Fantasy drafts that can potentially help you win your league. Everyone loves wide receiver Fantasy steals! This will also make the receiver depth for each …

Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, Fantasy-Strength-of-Schedule

Most Fantasy Strength of Schedule (SOS) rankings utilize data points from the previous seasons defensive fantasy points allowed to determine who will have the easy or hard schedule in the upcoming season. This gives you a decent baseline, but obviously you need to apply some human intervention to the purely stat-based rankings to come up …

There are all kinds of strategies to assembling a fantasy football team, but an approach I seem to find myself sticking to across all fantasy sports is ensuring to balance my high risk picks with what I consider safe and reliable options.

Heath Miller, Week 2 Tight End Rankings

Over the past few weeks, we've taken a closer look at some of the different injuries Fantasy owners should be aware of as the Fantasy Football draft season approaches. We talked about injured quarterbacks, injured running backs and injured wide receivers in recent weeks. And today, we're wrapping up this series with a look at …

Ben.Tate.cc

Who are the top 2013 running back handcuffs? A great question indeed, but with all the running back committees in the league, perhaps the real question is who exactly is a true handcuff these days? You know, the type Michael Turner was in his Lightning Bolt days, or Maurice Morris was behind Shaun Alexander before …

Best Fantasy Football Rankings

Everyone wants to find the best Fantasy Football rankings. There may be no greater task than compiling your own rankings -- it is tough stuff man. As I've been plugging away on my rankings recently, I thought it'd be a good idea to go out on the road -- or surf the net, if you're …

NFL: NOV 15 Jaguars at Jets

Once again, we know how important it is to keep up to date on injured running backs, especially since many of these guys will be picked in the earlier rounds. Never fear, as we check out the medical charts on a couple dozen injured running backs. You should also understand that you don’t always have …

Today we will conclude our list of 2013 NFL coaching changes. In Fantasy Football, a player’s playing time and usage is essential when we evaluate their value. A good player that never plays is not as good as an average player that gets a large workload (i.e. every owner that had Michael Turner when he …

Sean Payton

There were eight 2013 NFL coaching changes. "Wait," you say, "there were eight coaching changes? I thought there were only seven?" Don’t worry. You’ll see. The question "How will a coaching change impact a player’s Fantasy value?" is a complex one. Daniel Kahneman says, "If a satisfactory answer to a hard question is not found …

Robert Griffin III, Best Fantasy Rookie QB Ever?

Tuesday, we broke out the first round of The Usual Suspects 2013 Fantasy Football Mock Draft and today it is on to Round 2!  Last season, the top 2 rounds were filled with teams that likely got mixed up in back-to-back picks as notorious as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne.

peterson.adrian

When you think of a 2013 Fantasy Football Mock Draft, you rarely picture the opening scene of "The Usual Suspects", where a flaming matchbook is used to lite a wounded man's smoke. And then a gasoline trail, which races by a corpse while a dude in a trenchcoat takes a whizz. As the suspenseful score …
