Eli_Manning_SNL-2015-Quarterback-rankings

The 2015 Quarterback rankings look a little different this season than in years past, but your Fantasy Football league won’t suddenly see more quarterbacks taken in the early rounds. For the most part, it’s business as usual, just with some names swapped out for others. Last summer, just before the 2014 NFL season started, I …

Let's go Discount Diving for FanDuel once again. Sure,  it is the PLAYOFFS in seasonal formats everywhere but not on FanDuel. Every Week is new and important in daily fantasy sports and this week is no exception. Plenty of fantastic match-ups, surprise injuries, and even worse game time decisions that will make setting lineups extra …

Good grief. The running backs corps is becoming very weak in Fantasy, and once again we continue to be blindsided by sleepers having outstanding performances. Luckily, this is the last week for bye weeks, so we’ll be able to play our starters down the Fantasy stretch. But I just hope you survived this long stretch …

Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings

Let's talk Week 8 Start 'em Sit 'em! With his two TDs Sunday night, Ronnie Hillman has already outscored early Fantasy draft pick Zac Stacy. That is just one example out of many, on how this season has been the year of the waiver wire. There have been so many fantasy pickups this season that have …

[cue game show music] Welcome back for another edition of “The Up or Down Game” with the Week 8 QB Rankings!

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 …

Rob Gronkowski, 2014 Tight End Rankings

Who doesn’t love a great tight end? The Week 4 TE rankings are mixed up just a bit compared to previous weeks, as we have injuries to keep an eye out for and six teams on by weeks. That tends to change the Fantasy tight ends landscape, fo’ sho’. Two players that continue to skyrocket …

Jacob Tamme, Week 13 Sleepers

With the NFL bye weeks finished for this season, the need for players that are flying under the radar has diminished  a bit. However, many of our rosters are suffering from injuries and plain old under performance. I'm going to hone in on four Week 13 sleepers that I feel can be game changers this …

Daryl Richardson, Fantasy Breakout Players

With six teams on bye weeks last weekend, and six teams on byes this week, many owners are looking for some Week 9 sleepers. Last week, many owners scraped the bottom of the barrel to fill their rosters. How did you do if you took my advice? Same as usual -- about half and half. …

Leonard Hankerson, Week 8 Sleepers

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.

Fantasy FatCast Podcast, 400x400

Just before tonight's Fantasy Fatcast podcast, my computer decided to restart, with 11 updates. (I don't need the lectures, IT guys.) So Tresky and Emack flew solo … together. They had a caller from Chicago, Joel Henard, ask some Fantasy questions about Jay Cutler, Matt Forte and second-year wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, who Emack is …

There are all kinds of strategies to assembling a fantasy football team, but an approach I seem to find myself sticking to across all fantasy sports is ensuring to balance my high risk picks with what I consider safe and reliable options. For the purpose of this 2013 Fantasy Football All-Risk Team, players who aren't projected …

Cam Newton, One of the best Fantasy Rookie QBs ever

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 …

Eli Manning, 2015 Quarterback Rankings

When athletes host Saturday Night Live, they generally get great ratings. This happens for a couple reasons: 1. Fans love athletes and they love when they make the transition to sketch comedy well. 2. Athletes are generally not good at anything but being athletic, so when they bomb, it’s a sight to see. Strangely, it’s …
