Fantasy Football league ideas have been coming across my desk over the past 34 years of play, and many of them, I have personally instituted in some of my leagues. They're awesome! Back in my day, we had to wait until Saturday to watch cartoons. (It was inhumane!) And we'd get detention for passing notes …
Before we get too deep into our Fantasy Football 2015 Running Back Rankings, I thought it would be good to look back at some of the more interesting stories of last year and this past offseason. In other words, we have to look at some points where you’ll have to make some major decisions over. …
Every offseason, we all have a difficult decision to make. We need to decide who we’d choose with the first overall pick in 2015 Fantasy Football leagues. It’s a decision that is tantamount to naming your first child and choosing what flavor blood you’d like in your transfusion. This past week, I signed on to …
CHAMPIONSHIP has arrived and if you are in the championship congratulations and best of luck! If you are not however, like myself you will likely be looking to do some Discount Diving in DFS this week. I would normally apologize for the disastrous lineup I submitted and discount plays from last week, but I won't …
Last week by in large was a successful week for Discount Diving. Although the lineup I posted only won in one contest, I did do well in all of my other contests, using many of the same discount players. The big hitters were Justin Forsett, Roddy White, and Jason Witten performing as I projected. Jeremy Hill …
The Fantasy playoffs are less than one month away – can you believe it? These Week 11 RB Rankings will hopefully get you one step closer to getting into those playoffs. And once you get into the playoffs – well, anything can happen! But if you’re already kicking butt and you’re ready to look ahead …
Now that you’re done playing a fullbacks or a scatback in your second running back spot because of the six teams on byes or injuries or bad waiver-wire luck, you can rest a little easier in Week 5, since the Dolphins and Raiders are the only ones resting this week. The Week 5 RB rankings …
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 …
We are back with another Interrogate the Industry! I have to apologize to my regular readers for the delay between posts. Perhaps it has been so long you forgot to read my Interrogation of Rumford Johnny. Either way between the kickoff of the NFL season, Fantasy Baseball playoffs and of course family obligations time dwindled …
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 …
The Week 2 Kicker rankings are here! The Week 2 Kicker rankings are here! I know, checking these out sometimes makes you feel like The Jerk. There are just 32 kickers to choose from each week, so it’s not rocket surgery trying to figure out who you should take. But we’ll offer a few tips …
When it comes to Daily Fantasy Football each and every week is dramatically different. Players will disappoint in the biggest way (I'm looking at you Jamaal Charles) or exceed all expectations like Allen Hurns (110 yards and 2 touchdowns). Although I owned Hurns in my deep dynasty league and had to play him, I wasn't …
Every draft season, this is one of the most popular pages on my site. The 2014 Fantasy Running Back rankings shouldn’t be any different, as most people believe that running backs are the lifeblood of any championship squad. Sure, you’ll hear arguments that in this day and age, with the NFL leaning more and more …
All Star week is nearly over and with it another Interrogate the Industry. This week I was able to get Nick Raducanu (@projectroto) to answer some questions. It is hard to believe that this is the eighth one already, but with so many fantastic options in the industry to interview there could be countless more. …
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 …
The 2014 RB rankings look deeper than in recent years, but, unfortunately, that's only because there are a lot of veteran running backs that are slowly creeping backwards from 2012 and 2013. Although, I have eight different running backs getting drafted in Round 1 in my early 2014 Fantasy Football Mock Draft. The average shelf …
Is it ever too early to look at a 2014 Fantasy Football mock draft!?! We're into the new year, and we're ready to put the 2013 season behind us. Whether you won last season, finished in the playoffs or carried home your league's Toilet Bowl trophy as the worst team in the league – we're …
If you are still alive, I am willing bet you either had Jamaal Charles or at least didn't play against him after his historic Week 15 outburst. A lot of people are in their championship this week, while some may still have a week left. It's time to earn that championship trophy. so let's take …
Andy Germani takes a quick look at each game from the weekend in his Week 12 Fantasy recap. Did your players do what you expected them to do? What are we to make of some of these big games by no-names, and bad outings by some superstars? We're finally out of the woods, as this …
The fellas take a step back to look two steps forward, as they break down what they think the first round of a 2014 Mock Draft would look like. In this podcast, Bleacher Report's Eric Mack, SI.com's David Gonos and host Brett Tresky take turns making picks for a faux first round mock in Fantasy …
As I sat down and cranked out these Week 1 lineup rankings I shed a tear. I openly wept for the demise of my offseason rankings, where I dug deep, churned and stressed over. I cried for the multitudes of mock drafts that are meaningless now. I was sullen over the fact that – 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 …
I love looking back at NFL Draft history, especially as it relates to Fantasy Football. So I thought I'd look back at rookie quarterbacks and rookie running backs to see what recent seasons have produced, as well as NFL history. And hopefully, this information can help us out as we look at the 2013 NFL …
[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 …
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 …

Athletes always talk about the “pop” they hear when they tear an ACL. I’d imagine it’s like hearing, “You’re fired!” from Donald Trump on The Apprentice, or “Honey, we need to talk,” from your significant other. You get that feeling in your stomach when, just for a split second, you sincerely believe your life is …
