Joe Namath - Fantasy Football Flashback

The following fake journal was discovered by a team of fake archaeologists earlier this month. You thought Tom Brady’s knee injury made 2008 your worst Fantasy season ever? You got nothing on this guy. Welcome to a 1971 Fantasy Football Flashback!   January 1, 1970 I’m ready to put last season behind me. Heck, I’m …

What if NBC decided to cancel “Seinfeld” after just six episodes? What if the Patriots decided not to give Bill Belichick a shot after his bad tour in Cleveland? What if [insert awkward analogy that doesn’t really fit here]? That’s right, if all those things happened, we would have missed out on some greatness. As …

[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 on Mondays. Week 1 is nearly complete, and you probably …

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 …

Obviously, these rankings are a day or two late, but man, I never realized how much easier it was to do rankings after games are played than it is before! Next week, the rankings will be up on Wednesday and Thursday. Labor Day and the Democratic National Convention will be long gone by then. I …

Tony Romo, Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule

Man, it sure was nice to have real football action on Wednesday night. (Wednesday football? It’s like Christmas in July!) The Cowboys upset the Giants, who had a little Super Bowl hangover going, and it was the first time the NFL champ lost their season opener in years. (Side grumble: Remember when the Bucs won …

NFL: MAR 18 Chicago Bears Minicamp

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 …

Before the season begins, TradeDebate.com examined all 32 teams Fantasy potential, and ranked them according to their expected Fantasy output. These Fantasy power rankings are based on the rewards that the team as a whole will give the owners of whom they have drafted players.  The first half of teams examines the bottom half of …

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 …

It's safe to say that the 2012 Fantasy quarterback rankings have never looked as strong as they are this year. It's very likely that you're going to see TWO quarterbacks taken in the first round of your draft, and then see three more quarterbacks taken in the second round. We're coming off of the most …

The quarterback position has gotten a huge youth injection in recent years. While the late '90s had a nice influx of talent, with the likes of Peyton Manning, Donovan McNabb and Daunte Culpepper, Fantasy rookie QB rankings were still just an afterthought in most leagues because they were rarely worth starting in any formats. But …
