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 …
The NFL moves into Week 14 and it is time to isolate some fantasy football picks for one day real money leagues at FanPicks.com One of the more attractive games on the card will be an AFC North division battle as the Cincinnati Bengals are home to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cincinnati has been putting up …
Before we get into my early Week 10 FanDuel lineup for 50/50s, Double-Ups and Head-to-Head games, let’s look back at last week. We had six NFL teams on byes, including the Cardinals, Ravens, Lions, Texans, Chiefs and Seahawks, which means a lot to FanDuel owners this week. In Week 10, we’ll be without just four …
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 …
It’s crazy that we have reached Week 14 already, and not only the Fantasy Football season, also the NFL season is coming down the stretch. It has been a great season, filled with excitement and surprises. However, as the season comes down the stretch, the games become more important, and the money you have spent …
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, …
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 …
Last week was very exciting. I saw my main team put up an astounding 141 Fantasy points, in a standard league, and still almost lost! My opponent was a mere nine points short of me; thus showing what a big Fantasy week it was. Hopefully, we can repeat that Fantasy success this week. I hate …
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 …
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. …
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 …
Well hopefully you are here after reading my last piece Prepping for the Prep, but even if not welcome and get ready to discuss some round by round Fantasy Football draft strategy. Now that you have a game-plan and some tools to use during your draft we can try and devise a strategy for each …
Fantasy Football owners love them some rookies! They also love them some sleepers! You put those two together, and it’s like the day someone figured out buffalo wings and bleu cheese are awesome together! So I took it upon myself to write up an article featuring some sleeper rookies for the 2014 Fantasy Football season. …
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 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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
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, …
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 …
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 …
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 …
You're ohhhhhh so close to sitting atop your Fantasy league as the 2012 champion. You're either in the Fantasy Football championship game or you are at least in the Final Four. I guess there's even a possibility you're playing for third place in a consolation game, like I am in one league .... Stupid Dennis …
The fine gentlemen over at the website DynastyLeagueFootball.com agreed to write a piece for our site that detailed what the first round of the 2013 Fantasy Rookies draft might look like. We know how much the 2012 Fantasy Rookies helped owners out, especially Robert Griffin III, Andrew Luck and Doug Martin. Paymon Shokoohi did a great job …
After being named the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Month for October, Buccaneers RB Doug Martin went out in Week 9 and blew away Raiders defenders, his Fantasy Football owners and the opponents of said Fantasy Football owners. Doug Martin in Fantasy Football was suddenly a very hot commodity. Let’s first take a quick look …
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 …
Gone are the superstars sure to take every Fantasy Football team into the playoffs, and now we get to see the third round picks, where injury questions and former stars and youngsters with upside take residence. Welcome to the #TwitMock Fantasy Football Mock Draft 2012 -- where you can follow along here and on Twitter for over …
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 …
