Last Second Decisions – Another Week Of Bye Murder

November 3, 2013 | Last Second Decisions | 127 Comments

Ohhhhhh man. Another week and another 6 teams on bye. That makes 20% of players gone. So it's kinda like Tehol's weekly Writer's League lineup. Luckily my one really bad team was the only one hit with terrible byes last week, but this week... Man... Lots of tough cookies. Guru is already talking smack because my 8-0 boys have James Starks at RB Eddie Royal in there in my flex. Spoiler alert! Neither are recommendations below. Slim Pickens on the wire. Plus ally of the JB world Justin Blackmon went on a Jessie Pinkman bender. It's all coming to an end. But I must maintain the faith, visualize a redonkulous upset, and hope my path to perfection stays true.

The Handcuff Report – The Tolbert Report

by: J-FOH

Tonight, we answer the question to why Mike Tolbert is relevant. How does anyone in Carolina notice when his name isn't Newton, not the cookie, the quarterback. Why do Americans love their football so much and politicans so little, tell me your thoughts at #idiots rule. Why does this only sound good in my own head when I do this in a Steven Colbert voice? Maybe it's the 6 beers and three glasses of scotch I've had. I don't know, you can watch the real Colbert Report if your are already tired of this. In the spirit of the Colbert Report we will do the Word about Mr. Tolbert. He's scored 3 on the ground and 2 through the air this year. All of those TD's came in victories for the Panthers. Like any owner of the most relevant fullback in football, we hope Señor Rivera sees this too and decides to give him a chance to score every week because Tolbert +TD = VICTORY....for them and you. He's a great bye week filler and will be someone to watch for match ups every week. I think the risk is similar to Danny Woodhead earlier in the year when we were unsure whether to start him or not for fear of touches. With the Panthers on a roll, I would go big, literally and send Tolbert out there if you have the need. He faces the Falcons this week who are competing with the Texans for biggest disappointment of the year award.

Hard Targets: Marvin Jones the Only Cure for Halloween Hangover

Let me tell you something If you took away the chicken If you took away the thongs, the celebrity references. If you took away the swingers lifestyle. And all the yayed out strippers that come with it. If you took away the chiseled body and movie star good looks. What would you have left? Everything???? Nahhh, for that is Beddict, and Beddict is I, ready to pump it up once again and feed your malnourished minds with a treasure trove of gems that are only found on Razzball. Greetings all! How did you do last week? Dropped another dud did you? Well just like Aldon Smith did, you need to take it one day at at time, and you need to find a solution. Trust in Dr. Beddict to vanquish your worriment and help snatch that league title you've been craving. Some of you, may have been in the same league for years and held title-less, and that my friends is a torturous experience I know all too well. Like a Catholic Priest who's had his Lambo repo'd and been disallowed from being 50 feet from teenage boys, it's almost like we are nothing. I Tehol Beddict, hereby challenge you to rise up and rage against the dying of the light! We shall overcome and become legends. We shall become like Marvin Jones, who went hambone on the opposition last week to the tune of 8 receptions for 122 yards with 4 Tds on 8 targets. I've privately praised Marvin now for the past 2 seasons and wondered why he wasn't starting over the barely average, if that, Sanu. Well, he's a must own in all leagues at this point and showed in last night's game he is a touchdown machine. I know it was called back by a questionable call but such is life. We witnessed Sanu dropping multiple balls and it's a certainty that his role will decrease going forward. Jones is a very nice WR3 option and possible flex option depending on byes. I'm sure he's owned now in your league and if you swooped him, you receive a big kudos from Uncle Tehol. Let's move on to some other players, some tantalizing and some disgraceful to the game. Witness.

His Name Is Gio And He Dances On The Grass

I have a 17 week season to cover and by comparison to baseball, it's usually pretty easy to come up with a title that I both feel comfortable with and feel hasn't been abused to death at the point in which I post it. But that's mainly because I rarely have to write about the same person twice as the lede within a given season. Well, tonight made that kinda hard to avoid. Welcome back to center stage, Giovani Bernard, and thank you from the multiple teams I own you on for your night. After giving you the nickname 'GOB' from Arrested Development, I realized this understood his 'Illusionist' nickname so I have decided not to rest on these known tropes. Instead, I'll forge down the Duran Duran path because...yeah, no good reason. it's a blog about fantasy sports and I'm not on the cover of Yahoo Fantasy so I do what I want to do, when I want to do it and whatever time I so choose. I'm a diva like that. But to be fair, I need to point you to this run: RIGHT HERE. That was some straight up Barry Houdini Sanders chit, y'all! Which brings me back to my nickname: The Illusionist. After GOB Bluth. Don't fight it, it's there. Let it roll of your tongue onto twitter with a #Razzball after it it and get the ball rolling! But in all seriousness, this is the guy many suggested you draft and this is why you drafted him: 104 total yards with 4 receptions and 2 TDs on a night that could've been deemed near to Fantasy Football worthless outside of defenses, Gio-B delivered and any team that doesn't own him right now is just jelly. Moving forward, I'd normally be concerned with a 'rookie wall' but I don't feel he deals with enough carries to make that a concern. The rib injury? Eh, maybe a small concern but it sounds like he avoided any major issues on that front. Moving forward, you still have yourself a cheap RB2 in both standard and PPR formats in my book.
