Sawbones’ Scribings: NFL Week 11 Injury Report

by: Andrew Nordmeier

Doc doesn’t know what gives him a bigger headache between being a sub-.500 team in the Razzball Writers’ League or all of the quarterback concussions suffered last week. This time it’s the concussions that felled Michael Vick, Jay Cutler and Alex Smith. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Week 11 Razzball FanDuel Picks and Tips

November 16, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Football, FanDuel | 1 Comment

by: Josh Carey

So a guest at the hotel I work at just called down to the front desk complaining of noise in the room above him. Since it’s 1:30 in the morning, I walked up there and checked it out. Sure enough, TV blaring, a bunch of people in the room, and when I knocked on the door somebody yelled out “Oh [expletive]” and everyone started scurrying about (also, who knew expletive had three Es in it?).

Spiller Has Rare 5/5 Vision: He Rarely Sees The Ball When His Team Is On The 5 Yard Line

Tonight was supposed to be a coming out party of sorts for C.J. Spiller. Many in the fantasy community were expecting 30 carries for 500 yards, 20 touchdowns, a signed autograph from Justin Bieber (why, fantasy community, why?) and for him to save burning orphans from space aliens…give or take.

Hard Targets: Calvin Goes Big Johnson on the Opposition

Does anyone remember those obnoxious “Big Johson” shirts? You know, the ones that featured classic slogans like “Close your eyes and stick it in,” “Rode em! Rammed em! Wrecked em!” and my personal favorite “Cocked, pumped, and ready to blow.” I assumed incorrectly that they halted production, and was rocked hard when I witnessed their website showing many new designs and a partnership with legendary weirdo, Ted Nugent.

Week 11 Rush Defense: My Vote’s Still For Bush, Not Gore

Sorry Chris Johnson owners, you’re going to have to start someone else this week. Just think of it like one of the first three weeks of the season again, only this time you know you shouldn’t start him.

If you were paying any attention to the Bears/Texans game last Sunday night, you should know The Texans are not easy to run on. Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Trade Deadline Is Nigh…Buy, Buy Buy

November 14, 2012 | 2012 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Buy/Sell | 58 Comments

by: Sky

So with this being the last buy column for the season, I felt the best way to approach the final go would be to state some generalities. Though I’ll still list some buys and sells below, I wanted to state the simple and obvious: make a trade that helps you over the last 6 weeks, not what helped the other owner for the last 10.

We’re 11 weeks into the season now and still dealing with bye weeks, but congratulations, this is finally it. The good news for many fantasy teams is you don’t have to worry about a matchup with the Seahawks. The bad news is The Titans aren’t there either. Please, blog, may I have some more?
