The first season of Celebrity Big Brother comes out Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 8pm ET. on CBS, but the names of the participating celebrities didn’t really cause much of a stir. Speaking for myself, I only knew about half of the names, as some of them came from Real Housewives, etc. So it got me …
Fantasy Football is a strange topic. With most things, like real sports or politics or news, one can seek one source or one site and be informed enough to go about their business. But with Fantasy Football, people want as many sources sharing their opinion as possible. That's why following these top 66 Fantasy Football …
Why post a list of Fantasy Baseball Twitter accounts? Well, for several reasons – first of which is that Twitter is an invaluable source of information for Fantasy Baseball owners. Secondly, because these guys do great work in trying to assist nearly every owner that asks them a question. (See my post on “How to …
I’m 40 years old, which means that my formative years (from 6-15 years old) were in the perfect Saturday Morning Cartoons time period of 1977-86. Five years earlier (1971) and there would have been way fewer cartoons available to watch on Saturday (there wasn’t even any electric back then!) And five later (1991), after the …
Over the past three or four years, on Fantasy Baseball magazine has stood out above the rest – and I really don’t think it’s close. I got my digital copy of “The Fantasy Baseball Guide 2015” this week, and once again, I’m supremely impressed by the people involved, the design and – most of all …
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 …
It’s a crucial time in fantasy football, and I can only hope that you are one of the few that have survived to this point in the season. It’s either the playoffs or the last week of the regular season, and seasons are on the line. At this point, your roster is pretty much set, …
I think we can all agree to one conclusion after Week 12’s action: Odell Beckham Jr. is a beast. We witnessed him make the best catch I’ve personally ever seen. He grabbed the ball out of mid-air with just three fingers, and hauled it in for a TD, all while being interfered with; on his …
We're officially heading down the stretch, and in most leagues there are just 3 games left in the fantasy regular season. These games are crucial, and so are your roster moves at this point. Most likely, your trade deadline has passed, which means if you’re having problems at a certain position, it’s all up to …
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 …
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 …
Before we get into the Week 8 Waiver Wire, let's take a quick look back. The only word I could think of to express Week 7 is "Wow." We saw outstanding Fantasy performances from Golden Tate, Sammy Watkins, Ronnie Hillman, and many others. However, there were many brutal injuries, including Bills RB C.J. Spiller, who unfortunately …
We’re three weeks into the world of bye weeks, which means a lot of us have had to cut defenses we like in order to pick up a defense that’s not on a bye. Our Week 7 DST rankings are just two teams short this week, as the Buccaneers and Eagles will have their bye …
Time for the waiver wire! Yes, chances are you’re still licking your wounds from a Week 6 Fantasy loss, or you may be still celebrating a win whether against a stranger, a co-worker, a friend or even your boss. I hate to be the negative one here, but it’s time to move on. It’s time …
It's that time of week again! Coming off of Week 5, we saw many new players emerge to Fantasy relevance, and show great performances this weekend. As you make your Week 6 waiver wire picks, it's time to think whom you will submit a claim for. I am here to help, as I’ll give you …
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 …
First off, I'd like to say that I am honored that I will be writing my weekly Fantasy Football articles here, and I am more than excited to get started and contribute my Fantasy Football knowledge, starting with the Week 4 Waiver Wire. This week, we had many new names contributing to their respective teams, …
We learned an awful lot about the NFL running backs position in Week 1, but we also had just as many new questions arise. Our Week 2 RB Rankings hope to help solve some of those problems for you to either help you get to 2-0 or to help you get your first win … …
Do rookies perform worse after the All-Star break? My claim over this statement is nonexistent, while the original thought of its occurrence was brought to my attention by Adam Aizer on the CBS Fantasy Baseball Podcast. My judgment dissuaded, I thought that it would be worth the effort to look into the validity of the …
Managing a Fantasy Baseball team is unlike that of any other sport. It's a daily grind that drags on for seven months and requires commitment, patience and discipline. Through all of your overtime work days, family vacations and sinus infections, the fantasy baseball season trudges on. Maximizing your point potential day in and day out …
After receiving some great responses from the 30-For-30 series at davidgonos.com from readers, and writers alike it was decided to form the Gonos 30-for-30 league. It would be be filled with 12 contributors to the series, including myself representing the site. It is a Rotisserie League which is 5x5 with standard scoring (Average, HR, RBI, Runs, …
As lucky and wondrous as the San Francisco baseball seasons were in 2010 and 2012, were the years 2011 and 2013 askew. Injuries, sub-par performances, and the cosmic giggle caught up with the Giants -- a team built upon pitching the last few years -- contributing to real and virtual chaos for the McGowan family and …
After suffering through baseball’s worst record from 2011–2013, the Astros and their fan base need something to look forward to. During the past three years, they are 118 games worse by record than baseball's best team, the Texas Rangers (280-206). To make matters worse, the Astros are 33 games worse over this time frame than …
Last week, I got a digital copy of my favorite Fantasy Baseball magazine, “The Fantasy Baseball Guide 2014" and once again, I come away incredibly impressed. As I've mentioned in the past, like an old character actor dropping names at a party, I worked on several Fantasy Baseball magazines in my 14 years writing about …
Last year, Fantasy Baseball owners were thoroughly disappointed by the production they got from the recently acquired B.J. Upton. With the letdown and the hole that B.J. Upton left in the lineup with his lackluster performance, other players emerged and broke on to the scene. Evan Gattis and Chris Johnson had career years and both …
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 …
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 …
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 …
I've been talking about how awesome the DraftWizard Mock Draft Simulator is, but one thing I haven't really highlighted yet is the Keeper Mock Draft Simulator part. I'm in several keeper drafts, three of which draft this week! So I've been doing a few mocks on this tool this week. What's cool is, you can …
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 …
A few months ago, after a softball game and during several beers at Maguires, our local pub, SI.com’s Eric Mack and I started talking about doing a Fantasy podcast together. After months of putting it off, thinking we’d never get our act together, and thousands of chicken wings, we finally held our first “Fantasy Fatcast” …
Writing ain't easy. And being a Fantasy Sports writer ain't easy either – in spite of what every person that has every played Fantasy Baseball or Football thinks. And while writing a book about Fantasy Sports might not be easy either, my review of Matthew Berry's book, "Fantasy Life: The Outrageous, Uplifting, and Heartbreaking World …
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 …
For Fantasy owners, the NFL Draft is usually the audition process for Fantasy Football Rookie running backs that might make their way onto their Sunday lineups. In recent seasons, owners have been able to ride the success of rookies like Doug Martin, Trent Richardson, Alfred Morris, DeMarco Murray, LeGarrette Blount and Ryan Mathews. Last year, …
The NFL Draft is nearly upon us! Fantasy owners everywhere are wondering if there’s magic in the 2013 Fantasy Football Rookie Quarterbacks class, like there has been over the past two seasons! Spoiler alert: There’s not. But there are certainly some talented players that will see some snaps this coming NFL season, which means they could …
The 2013 Tout Wars Mixed Auction was once again – fantastic. We had a great weekend, which I’ll get into more later on, but first, I just wanted to share some lessons learned about the draft and some of the people and players involved. (Here are the results in spreadsheet form for all of the …
Looking for the best Fantasy Baseball apps for your iPad and iPhone can be troublesome and time consuming. There are a lot of great ones out there, with a handful of crappy ones sprinkled in as well. Then again, I noticed that there were fewer apps out there this year, compared to last year. Or …
I recently got a digital copy of “The Fantasy Baseball Guide 2013” magazine, and I have to say I’m thoroughly impressed. During my time at CBSSports.com, we churned out several Fantasy Baseball magazines over the five years I was a writer there. So I have a soft spot for this medium, as a writer, 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 …
Many times, people get an iPad as a gift, but they don't know what to do with it or what apps to start filling it up with. To me, the iPad is kind of half-for-fun and half-for-work. There are certain apps a fella's going to want to load up on their new iPad. These iPad …
[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. Week 3 is complete, and you probably have a good idea …
A real football general manager has several assistants helping him. Heck, they have a whole front office of people trying to manage everything about the team and its players. CBSSports Fantasy Football apps offer you that same type of assistance, with several great tools that can help push your team over the top. And you know I’m …
