Fantasy Football league ideas have been coming across my desk over the past 34 years of play, and many of them, I have personally instituted in some of my leagues. They're awesome! Back in my day, we had to wait until Saturday to watch cartoons. (It was inhumane!) And we'd get detention for passing notes …
We can learn a lot about what might happen in the future, if we’re smart enough to look back to see where we’ve come. Average Draft Picks (ADP) is the perfect lens to use to look back on “what we thought,” and that will help us understand “what we should think” going forward.
The running backs position ain’t what it used to be! As you look at our 2016 Fantasy running back rankings, think back to how things have changed from just one year ago. Sure, some things look the same – Le’Veon Bell and Adrian Peterson are still near the top, although, with more question marks than …
It is now Week 10 of the NFL season and it’s time to play fantasy football picks for one day real money leagues at FanPicks.com The Green Bay Packers return home to battle the 1-7 Detroit Lions. It was a tough two game road trip for Green Bay as they dropped games at Denver and …
We’re back again for another installment of my Week 5 Fantasy rankings, but this time, we’re looking at a much thinner set of players to choose from because there are four teams on byes in Week 5. We’re happy to see the return of Tom Brady, Marcus Mariota, Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman and the rest …
Welcome to the first in a 24-part series on FanDuel lineups Strategy (give or take 19 to 20 parts of this series). My goal here is to share some of my favorite tips for Daily Fantasy Football on FanDuel, for different types of games on the site. This past summer, I joined the FanDuel Insider …
Before we get too deep into our Fantasy Football 2015 Running Back Rankings, I thought it would be good to look back at some of the more interesting stories of last year and this past offseason. In other words, we have to look at some points where you’ll have to make some major decisions over. …
I can't contain my excitement on sharing a Fantasy Football League setup known commonly as All-Play with you all.Even crazier? I have a league setup, I tried personally in my home league and it was a resounding success and fun for everyone. So, now is as good of a time as any to do it. The …
The Fantasy playoffs are less than one month away – can you believe it? These Week 11 RB Rankings will hopefully get you one step closer to getting into those playoffs. And once you get into the playoffs – well, anything can happen! But if you’re already kicking butt and you’re ready to look ahead …
It’s no secret that running backs are the lifeblood of most Fantasy Football teams, and those that went the Zero-Running Back Theory can argue all they want. Our Week 10 RB rankings are the most important rankings, once again, as we enter a six-team bye week. “But the Zero-RB Theory is brilliant,” some may say, …
Don’t worry, I know everyone was sobbing that I wasn’t able to write my Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em column last week; thus I apologize for that. However, I’m back this week with the Week 7 Start 'Em Sit 'Em and ready to help you all win your Fantasy Football matchups. Last week, we saw more …
It's that time of the week again! Bye weeks are in full swing, and some of your key players will be missing. That makes you turn toward the Week 5 waiver wire. Which players should you pick up? This is my advice on which players to snag this week off waivers. Of course, you'll want …
Six teams on bye weeks in the very first week of bye weeks? That’s ripping the Band-Aid off with one quick pull! Our Week 4 RB Rankings will definitely show how thin the position is, and how several teams in your league will be scraping the barrel for running backs this week – especially if …
Unfortunately, these Week 3 RB rankings are all over the place this week, mostly because the position has been hit with waaay more news stories than Fantasy Football owners would prefer. Whether it’s still dealing with the suspension news surrounding Ray Rice and his lawsuit to get reinstated back into the NFL, or the current …
With Adrian Peterson out after being arrested on charges of child injury, the Vikings chose to deactivate him. Our job is to figure out what that means for Week 2 Fantasy rankings, so I updated them accordingly. Both Matt Asiata and rookie running back Jerick McKinnon are expected to see a lot more action this …
Every draft season, this is one of the most popular pages on my site. The 2014 Fantasy Running Back rankings shouldn’t be any different, as most people believe that running backs are the lifeblood of any championship squad. Sure, you’ll hear arguments that in this day and age, with the NFL leaning more and more …
Interrogate the Industry has returned and this week we are back with the one and only Rumford Johnny! Johnny runs the both the site and podcast of 2 Mugs Fantasy Football Podcast along with @RyFo18. Their podcast is awesome and entertaining so if you are in need of another podcast be sure to check it …
Woooeee it has been a busy week, and as most of you likely know it will be a busy month, but never too busy for Interrogate the Industry. In fact, now is the best time to get some interviews out there. Between working on rankings over on FantasyPros, writing my Round by Round Draft Strategy …
This season, 13 NFL teams will have new offensive coordinators (or play-callers). Some big names are taking over new gigs: Norv Turner (now in Minnesota), Scott Linehan (Dallas), Gary Kubiak (Baltimore), Kyle Shanahan (Cleveland), and Hue Jackson (Cincinnati). The NFL track records of these four are readily available just about anywhere you look, and their …
With the NFL Draft finally here, I thought it would be a good idea to look at the top 60 Fantasy Football players before we have an influx of the Class of 2014 onto the rosters. There doesn’t appear to be a lot of rookies that will find their way into the first five rounds …
The 2014 RB rankings look deeper than in recent years, but, unfortunately, that's only because there are a lot of veteran running backs that are slowly creeping backwards from 2012 and 2013. Although, I have eight different running backs getting drafted in Round 1 in my early 2014 Fantasy Football Mock Draft. The average shelf …
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 …
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 …
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, …

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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
I listen to a lot of podcasts. I listen to these podcasts to pass the time and fill my head with information while I go through the monotony of everyday tasks: cooking, cleaning, driving, and doing the dishes. For me listening to podcasts is a passive activity, which allows me to gain the mental stimulation one …
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 …
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, …
So you're on the clock and you're staring at a decision of Arian Foster vs Adrian Peterson as the first overall pick of your draft. I was in this position last year and also had Aaron Rodgers to choose from. Based on how bad Rodgers torched me in 2011, I took him and finished .500 …
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 …
We're continuing our series on injured players you need to know about this offseason, and now we're at the injured wide receivers installment. We've already covered the injured quarterbacks and running backs, so let's dig right in and check out the injured wide receivers to worry about in the summer of 2013. This is just …
Injured quarterbacks are just one of the many news items you have to track during the Fantasy Football offseason. You have to know who goes where in free agency, and figure out which veterans have new competition breathing down their necks after the NFL Draft. So it's easy to understand when we miss out on …
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 …
From a Fantasy Football standpoint, 2012 was an up year for running backs! These 2013 Fantasy Football RB Rankings are obviously somewhat based on what running backs did this past season. Just like the 2011 season affected the 2012 running back rankings. I know it sounds like I’m talking in circles – but stick with …
While I call this thing a Fantasy Football Mock Draft 2013, it’s actually not a mock draft at all. It’s fo’ real. The Early Bird Fanatics League is a league set up by Shane Hallam over at DraftTV.com. This is actually a PPR, IDP league that drafts in February (right after the Super Bowl), and …
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 …
[Editor's Note: Once a week, we're going to be exposed to the inner workings of the Mind of a Yeti. Normally, his blog is found at FifthPeriodLunch.com, but he has such a love for Fantasy Football, he agreed to post some of his ramblings here on Mondays. Week 1 is nearly complete, and you probably …
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 …
