Well, Thursday Night the New York Giants called their primary physician to see what their status was. They're PP - I'm not touching this joke with a ten foot pole...the joke is a Giant's PP...maybe you shouldn't touch it either; might be infected - decided that because it was the NFC East that maybe they could just take another penicillin shot. I don't care how much penicillin you take at this point, the problem still exists. Tom Coughlin has been a great coach. Well, ok, a good, so-so, ok great coach. But now you're gonna talk to me about Super Bowl rings as your shining note, arncha? Well, here's some math that might calm your nerves. One of these coaches has a record of 83-67 since 2004 since the 2004 season. The other, an 84 and 64 record since the same season. Both have 3 NFC East titles at this point in history. So what's the difference? Super Bowls. Mainly, two of them. Tom Coughlin and his Giants can hang their hat on 2 SB rings while Andy Reid and the Eagles have none. Yet only one team has moved on from it's coach. Fair? Given the 0-6 start to the Giants, it doesn't matter whether it's fair. What matter is, 'what Giants are retainable vs trade-worthy' and at this point, I'm considering all the receivers as buy lows. The defense is stopping nothing at this point, no reason to think the wide outs can't benefit on some level. The RBs? Ehhhhh, not interested until Andre's back. The QB? That...that is a question wrapped within an enigma trapped inside a riddle and folded up inside a used baby diaper. It was a night only an 0-6 team could muster and I'm pretty sure Tom Coughlin's gonna be the scapegoat when this mess of a season is finally over. Is he partially to blame? Sure, his treatment of David Wilson was extremely poor given his other choices behind him. You don't play mind games with your lead running back when he's backed up by a guy nicknamed 'Frankenstein' but Coughlin isn't the only problem in New York for this extremely overdone season.

This point in the season is decision time for fantasy owners. Every team has played at least 4 games, and in the 13-week fantasy football regular season, that counts as a good enough sample size. Sleepers who haven’t panned out yet are not likely to make an impact this year, and high draft picks who have under-produced can’t be viewed the same way they were on draft day. Please, blog, may I have some more?

You’ve been patient but anxious. Excited and yet nervous. Yearning for your top TE to return but realizing when he returns it’s gonna be glorious. Well, McLovin, it looks like your moment has come. Barring any unforeseen reports of a thumbs down from Dr. Please, blog, may I have some more?
With Julio Jones likely out for the season, now might be a good time to take a gamble on Harry Douglas or make a trade for either Steven Jackson or Roddy White if you can get them. When an offensive weapon like that goes down, the surrounding cast all has to step up to the plate. They all come with question marks, but considering how disappointing Atlanta has been this year, there’s a chance you could get one of them for a relatively low price. That all being said, Atlanta is on bye this week so be sure to factor that into your decisions.
Razzball Nation! Â DraftKings is back, and if you haven't won it big in any of the bigger DraftKings contests with a big field, there's always tournaments running every Sunday with smaller prize pools and a better chance of winning. Â DraftKings has given us a contest this week for Razzballers to double up in a
$10 Double Up Contest where only 20 players enter and 10 leave with $20. Â They're obviously not making a profit on this one as it's a lot like the Razzball exclusive contests we had this past year on Baseball. Â So be sure to sign up and talk some smack come Sunday!
The course of true love never did run smooth. Some famous person said that. I can't remember who. Yes, I have google but I also have a time limit as I'm trying to get ready for work, take a shower - did you just picture me naked? - drink my coffee, feed the dog...well, you get the picture. I got shizz going on but I do my best to keep you abreast....hehe, abreast...of what's going on in the fantasy world while keeping you cultured. It's a tough task. You're not the easiest of pupil and you know that. But I digress, as stated, it truly does never run smoothly. Speaking of not running smoothly, that pretty much defines Trent Richardson and his owner's seasons to date, no doubt. Starting off the season as the main bell cow for a so-so offense, T-Rich didn't really do much with his time there, averaging 3.4 ypc netting zero touchdowns. Then when he got traded to a better offense, the people rejoiced only to see his underlying stats actually get worse (3.0 ypc and only 1 reception in 3 games). To say it's been difficult being a Trent owner would be an understatement while saying 'Fruit Of the Looms' would be an underpants statement. There's no point in there, stop looking in my underpants. The point being is that, for all his warts so far, Trent should begin trending upward and the Chargers game will and should be his break out. So check in with his owners and see if they're willing to move on from him at this point. Though I don't predict he'll be the top 5 RB I saw him to be entering the season, I still see a top 10 in there based on the offense alone and I'm sure they'll work him into the passing game a bit more as the season wears on.

It was a thrilling, exciting, pant-tenting, almost sublime 30 hours of Fantasy Football binge watching. I need an afterglow cigarette. Following Sunday nights/Monday morning Raiders/Chargers late night tryst, I woke up on the bathroom floor wearing only my Ken Stabler throwback trying to piece together what exactly went down and where I left my pants. I seem to remember having visions of Al Davis shaking hands with Hitler in Hell as he bragged about drafting Terrelle Pryor and I have a hazy recollection of Tony Romo throwing for 500 yards, pooping his tighty whities and blowing up the twitterverse. Before the blackout, I remember Tom Brady and Colin Kaepernick combining for less points than Ryan Tannehill and it may have been the Red Bull/Jager combo, but was there a David Wilson touchdown? These things happened, right? As the head begins to clear, it is time to examine our fake football rosters, take a long look in the mirror and face the cold hard facts – your team sucks and I have a drinking problem. Call it a fantasy intervention of sorts, but it is time to pull yourself up off of the cool bathroom tiles, dig deep into the waiver wire bargain bin and turn this season around or you’re going to find yourself bunking with Stephen Adler on Celebrity Rehab. It’s time to jam it or cram it. Anyone have some Advil, I gotta call my sponsor.
Another big week of RCL action wrapped up in week 5, with the ranks of the undefeated dwindling down yet again.  Looking at you - me!  Woo - let's go Writer's Team! Be sure to check out the full interactive 2013-2014 RCL Standings tab up under “Leagues” that shows youÂ
how you’re stacking up against your Razzball competitors in your journey to RCL glory.
TOP SCORER:Â Congratulations to team
Makka Pakka from theÂ
Monday Morning QB’s league, who was the only RCL team to top 200 points this week!  Is Makka Pakka a Simpsons reference based on your team picture?  With a fantasy explosion of goodness from Peyton, Dez, Nicks and Blackmon, it was the Monday Night breakout from Jacquizz that vaulted Makka Pakka into the RCL spotlight with 208.56 points.  Despite the win, Pakka is still in third place with a 3-2 record, as those belovedÂ
kitchen stinks still hold onto the top spot even after getting the wrong side of that Pakka outburst. Â Great work again Pakka and enjoy your time in the RCL Sun!
As a Jets fan, I can only imagine the magic, turbulent carpet ride it's been this year. Start the year 1-0 with a nail-biter against the Bucs, then turn around and lose a similarly close game to the Pats. Follow that up with what looked like maybe a statement game against the Bills only to get trounced by the Titans in week 4. Maybe New York is just gonna have to kick back and enjoy this roller coaster ride. Either way, Geno Smith will be the person getting you set up. Are you buckled in? Is the bar secure? Ok, go! Geno finished the night with 199 passing yards for 3 TDs, and a win to go with zero INTs. The interceptions have been the biggest bugaboo so far with Geno as he came into the night with 8 INT but tonight he looked very comfortable in the pocket and was able to make his quick reads and get the ball out fast. He still needs to work on his general pocket awareness but given the Falcons' general defensive rush problems, he didn't have to worry about that as much tonight. If we're talking fantasy relevance with Geno, I think we're either talking late season or for keeper/dynasty leagues because he's still not on my pick up radar at this point but in terms of relying on him, he's slowly gaining my fantasy stream trust.

The Razzball Podcast is back!  It's great to be back in the DraftKings studio after sitting out last week, but hey it was the Panthers bye so I took a bye too.  Although to be fair, the Panthers took another bye this week and I didn't!  I'm the consummate professional!  Nick I and go over the NFC notes and what it means for your fantasy team, along with a DraftKings look-in and the RCL top scorer through Sunday.  JayWrong then dives into the AFC quick-hitters while Sky gives us the waiver-wire guys to nab.  Murph was going to call in the carnage report, but with that last shot of rum, he had to add himself to the report!  Good luck to everyone tonight if your game is hinging on Monday Night Football (looking at you Julio Jones) and good luck in week 5!
Good tidings everyone and welcome, once again, to this quickly/drunkenly-typed post of one handsome man’s observations of Sunday Night Football. Wait, what's this? There's another Football game after SNF to cover? At 11:30 PM EST? And it's called Thursday Night Football? I don't even... what? Well, despite watching football until three-in-the-morn, there was a wonderful aspect at work here. Actually, there was two. The first, we are doing a double-post special today to cover both SNF and TNF. Two-for-one is always a great deal. Especially on Pornhub. Secondly, there is ample opportunity for a lot of drinking. Like, six-straight hours worth, at epic binge-worthy proportions mind you, as watching my Chargers always requires sacrifices to whichever God's love alcoholism. But don't worry, Sunday usually involves a Trader Joe's visit, and thusly, the copious purchase of cheap red's. So, to ensure survival, in a kinda-sorta way, I decided to go with a wine/vodka combo for my viewing experience. Trust me, it tastes better than it reads. And even if it doesn't, you're way to blasted to care at the midway point.
