Fantasy Football Advice

Before we get to the strategery make sure you join our FanDuel leagues.  We still need 10 competitors for the last 2 leagues — League Two and League Three.

Rush Defense Matchups 10-13:

I sure wish there was a running back in San Diego that we could trust, but there really isn’t.  Whoever is playing the next three games for them will be worth a flex start, but you can’t count on big games even with a nice schedule.  Darren McFadden has the worst matchups for the next three games.  The Cowboys don’t have a horrible schedule against the run after their bout with the Giants.  I could see Tashard Choice throwing a good game or two in there. If Cedric Benson can capitalize in the next two weeks it looks like a perfect time to get something for him.

Rush Defense matchups Week 14-16: (more…)

Here are the updated pass defense matchups for the rest of the season.  I have separated them into the next 4 games and the last 3 games. If you are poking and scrapping to get into that last playoff spot, this first chart might be right up your alley.

Eli Manning has been good to you lately and it looks like he will continue that goodness.  Kyle Orton has a tough road until the playoffs come around. The same is true for Donovan McNabb.  If Vince Young can get healthy and get some Randy Moss help he could put up some numbers in the next few games. Michael Vick has a crazy schedule, going from easy, tough, tough, easy, easy, tough, and tough.

Here they are sorted for your fantasy playoff pleasure.  If you have secured a playoff spot, then this might be the chart for you! (more…)

Like I did for the rushing defenses, I’ve gone right ahead done for the passing defense and, at least for quarterbacks, I find these stats to be pretty helpful.  They do help for receivers and tight ends as well, but a great receiver has a good chance of grabbing a TD to make their fantasy day, but one TD doesn’t make a quarterback’s fantasy day. So let’s take a look.

If you could trust Vince Young or Matt Cassel they’d be worth an investment, but you really can’t . . . Kyle Orton comes out smelling like a rose in both the overall and playoff grid.  I’m not one to give up much for a QB, but I wouldn’t cry if he was my #1 . . . Michael Vick has had some pretty easy games so far, but it doesn’t stay that way.  Thankfully his legs keep him fantasy relevant . . . Matt Stafford has some great matchups in his first 5 games back . . . Chad Henne has a crazy split between his next 5 and his last 5 games. I’d grab Henne in 5 games.

I’ve taken the strategery rankings through week 6 and used them to look at the rest of the fantasy season.  This first graph is the average rush defense ranking of each team’s next 9-10 opponents.  This gives an overall look at how tough the remaining schedule is for running backs.  I tend to look at the extremes because I am like X-games xtreme!  Or because the extremes can show up easier in actual on the field numbers. There are a lot of teams with schedules that are all over the place. So it’s not as if the tough schedules are without nice matchups here and there.

(Note: Make sure you join our Weekly Contest and we are still looking to fill 2 of our FanDuel Leagues — Razzball League 2, and Razzball League 3)

You can see our man JC Superstar has a very nice stretch of games coming up, but then it falls off a bit . . . The rich keep getting richer with CJ2K’s nice schedule . . . Don’t throw Felix Jones on the scrap heap with his future matchups . . . Mendenhall’s team has some tough matchups, but the rush D’s they face aren’t that bad . . .
