1997 Fantasy Football Rankings Cover

Think back with me now, as you get ready for your 1997 Fantasy draft, and you’re looking over your 1997 Fantasy Football rankings from whichever magazine you grabbed that month. Think back with me about when you were wondering what the NFL was going to be like with no team in Cleveland or Houston for …

We’re just at the beginning of summer, so our links to these eight stories on Fantasy rebound candidates and deep sleepers should help you wile away the summer heat until football season arrives! Summer is a time for kids to recharge before the drudgery of another school year falls upon them, and in that spirit, …

Bo-Jackson---Bo-tterfly-Effect---Score-Football-Card

Every now and then, I’ll come across a sports story that I assume everyone around me is familiar with. Then I realize, I’m an old bastard, and the guys around me are mostly in their 20s. So then I have storytime. It’s like when your grandpa tells you about the Heidi Game. I also figured most …

Brandon Marshall, 2013 Fantasy WR Rankings

The 2014 WR rankings are a great mix of up-and-coming talents and aging veterans, passing each other on the way up and down the rankings. Over the past few seasons, with the inordinate amount of passing yards each week, we're finding that wide receivers, in some cases, are more valuable than running backs. That's the …

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 …

Peyton Manning, 2012 Fantasy Football Awards

The dust has barely settled on your 2013 Fantasy Football championship trophy, and you're already looking for 2014 QB rankings!?! You're a sicko. You're demented. You're my kind of Fantasy Football player! So we're looking at several months before we really know where all of the players end up playing in 2014, but there likely …

Rod Streater, Week 15 Waiver Wire

If you’re lucky enough to still be interested in Fantasy this time of year, I applaud you. If you’re skilled enough to have earned a bye week this week, the players below could offer some backup off of the Week 15waiver wire. Picking those players up now, before the two winners of the Week 14 …

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. …

Bleacher Report's Eric Mack and I join host Brett Tresky for another Fantasy Fatcast, where we discuss some trades in our leagues, some keeper decisions to make and the Week 9 matchups. But we also bring in DavidGonos.com columnist Devon Jordan to talk about his most recent article, which details RBs strength of schedule for …

Fantasy FatCast Podcast, 400x400

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 …

Jason Avant, Week 5 Sleepers

Before we get into these Week 5 sleepers, I'm not above taking a look at how I did last week. I finally called a QB that had a good game. After lighting up Dallas, Philip Rivers is having pretty good year. As a matter of fact, I'm starting him this weekend over Colin Kaepernick. Especially …

Another week, another injury to deal with. Darren McFadden owners are cringing and Ray Rice's are wondering why he even played at all. Andre Johnson proved that sometimes all it takes is a kick in the shin to catch 9 balls for 110 yards, while C.J. Spiller, Alfred Morris and LeSean McCoy are all dealing …

The Bye Week bonanza begins now, which makes your waiver wire surfing all the more important and potentially rewarding. Keep your eyes peeled for potential improvements that others are dropping, or plan your own lineup complications a week in advance to avoid over spending, or potentially losing out. But ultimately, make your moves count. If …

Winning Your fantasy Draft

I formulated a list in which I believe is crucial in winning your Fantasy draft. Some of these techniques and suggestions may be obvious or bizarre, but I believe it is a set of rules to help guide any Fantasy Football owner to success. With my analysis from past seasons and noted tendencies, I’ve taken …

Michael Vick, Quarterback Position Battles

The key component to any NFL franchise these days is the quarterback. Look at all of the past 10 Super Bowl champions; they all had Super Bowl-caliber quarterbacks. The teams I’ll be discussing are not Super Bowl-caliber teams. However, these quarterbacks are crucial for Fantasy production for numerous other players. I hope to clear up …

San Francisco 49ers, 2013 Offensive Line Rankings

Everyone knows that a good offensive line makes a world of difference for skill position players, so these 2013 Offensive Line Rankings should help you decipher which QBs, RBs, WRs and TEs are in for good seasons ahead. Remember that a good running back is only as good as the offensive line that blocks for …

USFL - Herschel Walker, RB, New Jersey Generals

This is part of a series of articles I’m writing that’s designed to inform people born in the ‘80s. I'm surrounded by people in their 20s and 30s, yet they are unfamiliar with a lot of great stories. My generation had to learn about the AFL and the ABA, and the current generation needs to …

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 Fantasy Football late rounds are usually filled with a bunch of kickers and defense/special teams units. This mock draft won't be much different, as most owners still need to fill those less-than-key positions. For those owners that grabbed defenses early, they'll be likely grabbing the final sleepers at running back and wide receiver in these final …

It's official. We're in the middle rounds of our Fantasy Football Experts Draft known as #TwitMock 2012! We hope you've enjoyed it so far. The experts have been leery of drafting quarterbacks and tight ends, but these next few rounds should change some of that. They'll also be looking to fill backup spots among running …
