Drafting the top Fantasy rookies in ADP is quite the gamble! Fantasy Football rookies are like the world's grab bag -- you could end up drafting a first-year player that ends up scoring 10 touchdowns as one of the best at his position. But, sometimes just as often, you could end up with a stinker …
A Fantasy Football auction can get your blood flowing and they are much more intense than regular straight drafts. If you haven’t tried one — or if you haven’t done one in a while — get on it! Now, they even have auctions on Fantasy sites like ESPN, MyFantasyLeague.com and CBSSports.com, which we’ll get into. …
It has arrived; the Fantasy Playoffs are among us. Whether you were 10-4 in the regular season, or 8-6, the records do not matter anymore; everyone is equal game right now.

As we enter the one-third mark of the NFL season (and pretty much the halfway mark for the Fantasy Football regular season), we can start to dump the dead weight on our roster and work toward using players that are finally fulfilling potential. As young players start to figure things out, they stop thinking and …
Last week, I was asked to provide my top-five Fantasy quarterbacks for the rest of the season, so I thought I’d share it here before we get into the Week 6 QB rankings. While Andrew Luck has the most Fantasy points, I still considered Peyton Manning to be the top Fantasy QB going forward. He …
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 …

This week, I was asked by Sports Illustrated to come up with my 2014 Top 300 Fantasy Football Player Rankings for their draft prep section. They’ll combine them on their site with the other SI writers, so we’ll have a consensus ranking, so I thought I’d print my Top 300 over here. There are certainly …
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 …
With the 2014 NFL Draft just a few days away, it’s important to look back quickly to examine what the 2013 Fantasy rookie quarterbacks class did for Fantasy Football owners, and how they compared to past first-year players.

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 …
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 …
The Quarterback position is DEEP! But, is rolling with a Quarterback by Committee a realistic fantasy option? But I digressing. I went wild Saturday night. My wife was bartending, I was home with the kids and splurged. I entered an APEX Fantasy Money League. The draft was at 6pm my time, which meant it was …

Then again, you also get cynical and you …

The 2012 Fantasy Football season is officially over, but that doesn't mean we should ignore next season. Heck, it means most of us can go ahead and ignore the rest of THIS season. Earlier this week, I updated the first round of the 2013 Fantasy Football Mock Draft, and there were minor changes. I also posted my …
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 …
It’s appropriate we’re about to review the Fantasy Football rookies for 2012 in early January of 2013. It’s kind of like when you look back at whatever gifts you got last month, and you assess which ones were winners (authentic NFL helmet signed by Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson) and the which ones were losers …

Thirteen years ago, I started a Fantasy Sports website called, FantasyRef.com, then I sold it a couple years later in order to join the Fantasy staff at CBSSports.com. After writing there for five years, I joined a start-up site called OpenSports.com, where I worked a few more years. When it fell in late 2010, I …
As I mentioned in my 2012 Fantasy Rookie QB Preview, back in September, a rookie quarterback helping out in Fantasy Football play was a rare sighting. While a handful of good quarterbacks have helped Fantasy teams over the past few decades, seeing two Fantasy quarterbacks like Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck become top 12 …
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 …

Don't judge him just because …

It's safe to say that the 2012 Fantasy quarterback rankings have never looked as strong as they are this year.
