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 …
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, …
What a wild Week 9, but sadly it is time to move on. I got screwed, putting up 104 Fantasy points, but still losing as I played against Ben Roethlisberger. He carried my opponents’ team, and hurt mine. So, I’m excited to move on to a new week and get ready for a wild waiver …
Playoffs are on the horizon for seasonal owners, but for those of us who play Daily Fantasy Football it is another week to go discount diving and try to make some moolah! As you have to do when you write posts like this you have to look at the calls in your previous week and …
With six teams on byes this week – the Week 9 Fantasy Football rankings are a little thinner than usual. There are plenty of interesting matchups, as well, including Peyton Manning and Tom Brady going at it again. I was on the road this past week in Atlanta to see family, so time became an …
What an exciting Sunday, I would say. There were many outstanding performances, including guys like Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Rob Gronkowski, and Arian Foster having monster games. However, there were some duds and also some injuries, which makes the Week 9 Waiver Wire extra important. Doug Martin continues to struggle, while he also injured his …
We’re just over the halfway mark of the Fantasy Football regular season, so we can take a wide view of what has happened behind us. While the Week 7 RB rankings are certainly important – who doesn’t want to be 7-0!?! – I think we also need to look at the position to see what …
In this upcoming crucial Fantasy week, I share advice on which guys you should start, and who to sit come Sunday. Enjoy the Week 4 start 'em sit 'em! Quarterbacks Start ‘Em: Matthew Stafford at New York Jets Projected Fantasy Points: 27 Stafford is coming off of a horrific performance last week, in which he …
Week 3 was great for my Fantasy squads (I know, I know NO ONE CARES) and I was able to get an interrogation of Jennifer Millman from Rotoexperts.com making it even better. I have been a follower of Jen for a while now on Twitter, and of her work on Roto Experts which is top notch. …
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 …
It's National Draft Weekend! You're getting ready to pounce on your buddies like a recently fixed cat hiding behind an ottoman! So I'm delivering to you -- my fully updated 2014 Fantasy Football Overall Player Rankings! Speaking of National Draft Weekend -- if you played SKYLLZONE instant snake drafts last season, you can go there Saturday …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Many of us have officially begun to look ahead to the next season – stupid injuries, Larry Fitzgerald and Ryan Mathews – which means it’s now officially time to start thinking about the first round of a 2013 Fantasy Football Mock Draft and 2013 Fantasy Football rankings! In a few weeks, I’ll host a #TwitMock …
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 …
Nearly every Fantasy Football season, there are at least a couple of rookie running backs that have fortified a Fantasy team’s run into the playoffs. But this Class of 2012 Rookie Running Backs is finishing up the season as one of the best. Two of these running backs are guaranteed to be drafted in the …
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. Many of them still pepper the upper tier of …
[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 each week. Yeti Vedder wants to help you, also. Don't judge him just because …
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 …
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 …
Welcome to the #TwitMock Fantasy Football Mock Draft 2012 -- where you'll be able to follow along over the better course of a week as Fantasy writers make picks. We'll also be tweeting analysis about each of our picks, and the analysis will be posted here for readers to follow along with. Here are the …
This mock draft was held in the summer of 2012, but if you want a NEWER version, then check out our 1-Man, 5-Round, 2014 Fantasy Football Mock Draft that we did this year. The year is 2014. The revolution of the cyborgs has been averted and human civilization can return to rebuilding the canopy over …
Taking Arian Foster first overall seems to be the smart pick for 2012, but what does the Fantasy Football history of the No. 1 pick suggest? Considering the No. 1 pick in Fantasy Football is more important than in any other Fantasy sport, you have to take this situation seriously! There are very few things that …
Just like that – the NFL Draft is behind us and we are left with reshaped rosters and the start of the 2012 Fantasy Football Draft season. But before you draft, consider doing a mock draft, and consider the following update as Fantasy Football rankings for the first two rounds. This actually gets updated throughout …
