chris-collinsworth-clap-and-clipboard-flip Welcome to the Razzball streamer article!  I’m coming to you live from my brand new laptop, and let me tell you, compared to my old lap top, it’s incredible.  I feel like I went from a Ford Fiesta to a Tesla.  So I know that I have expressed my annoyance in the past with Cris Collinsworth and how he commentates on Sunday Night Football.  That will never happen again...

30_stevesmithreturn_news Steve Smith is one of my favorite wide receivers of all-time. Randy Moss is probably numero uno, but that's another article for another day. 997 receptions, 14,349 yards, 78 touchdowns, and eight seasons with over 1,000 yards. Oh, he's also taken four punts and two kickoffs back to the house and he has 387 rushing yards with two touchdowns on 57 carries. While Moss was created with a 6'4" 210 pound frame and programmed to utilize all the buttons on the Xbox controller, Smith did everything with a 5'9" 195 pound physical frame. The dude is/was a packet of M-1000s that could run, jump, catch, and pummel defenders. There are so many GIFs that I want to post but here are some of my favorites... (1, 2, 3, 4.) Smith being a local boy from LA who went to high school and community college a few miles from me, definitely adds to the allure, but my favorite story of him was how he used to punk Chad Johnson everyday when they both played for the SMC Corsairs. Enough nostalgia. Why am I choosing to highlight Smith in this week's article?

Well, that was an average result. And you know what they say about being average. I do :( Despite the lackadaisical results in Week 10, I'm proud to hoist Tehol up, as he finished fourth overall out of all experts last week. He would say it's the "Elder Gods" will, but I think it's more in line with his unending fantasy football knowledge and prowess. And that's just another example of Tehol's humble ways. Haha, okay, that one is definitely a stretch... Here are your Week 11 Rankings!
r150806_576x324_16-9 Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat. The monotony of repetition quickly bores me. For the last ten weeks I have been writing the same post. Different players, same game. Well today I'm saying f-ck it and I'm zigging when I normally zag. They've sent in a run play, but I'm calling an audible and throwing the ball down field. If I'm putting my cards on the table, the last four times I've done this I've thrown three incomplete passes and an interception. For those that are actually looking for my weekly waiver wire lineup of misfits, I'd hate to disappoint. These guys combined for 177.94 points. I was going to say that they combined for 206.24 points and see if any of you actually bothered to check my math. I'm betting that no one would have caught on.

C.J. Prosise rushes against the New England Patriots

If you played your cards right, 2016 may have been one of the best seasons ever to roll with a zero RB strategy in your draft. Not only have there been a litany of running back committees utilized across the league, but legitimate RB1s and RB2s have been emerging all year. Take a look at this list: Jordan Howard, Devontae Booker, Spencer Ware, C.J. Prosise, Robert Kelley. Those guys were all either not drafted at all or were taken later in drafts as a handcuff or dice roll option (I actually drafted Booker in one league but dropped him after a few weeks because I need the roster spot. D’oh!).
red-dead-redemption-2 Greetings! Well, well, well, what has the doctor pulled out of the musty pudenda of FantasyPros, but yet another Lord Beddict top-five finish. I do this not to gloat (NEVER!), but to enlighten you to the fact that this is all not just some game to me. I take the NFL more seriously than I now take the risk of getting and/or giving STD's, and if you've witnessed my unsheathed rapier, then certainly you'd know that it's first coated in layer of hand sanitizer, then swaddled with saran wrap, fitted in sausage casing, followed by a bubble wrapping and a blue whale magnum, all before crevice entry. But, honestly, I have loved this sport immensely for more years than I care to count, and as my hair greys and my forehead wrinkles, it gives me some (very little) peace of mind knowing that my brobdingnagian love of the sport finally paid some dividend in my life. And to think, I've been waking up in cold sweats in the middle of a nightmare where I'm just falling into nothing, screaming at the top of my lungs in terror, asking myself why I've wasted so many hours of my life on this meaningless shit. Waking up to text my therapist, begging her to help me find some purpose in this life before being hit by a semi-truck on my five thousand dollar bike or having my penis and scrotum ripped to many, many, large pieces by a great white shark. But it seems all those what I thought were useless hours, I could have spent focusing on my real job, saving relationships or just living a decent life, actually paid off in a major way. What a time to be alive. I am Tehol Beddict and this is Disgrace/Delight. Take Heed!!!

Drew Brees. (23.83 fantasy ppg in RCL scoring on Yahoo) Aaron Rodgers. Tom Brady. Matt Ryan. Ben Roethlisberger. Andrew Luck. Cam Newton. Marcus Mariota. Colin Kaepernick. Dak Prescott. (19.78 fppg)

This is the Top 10 ranking of average fantasy points per week from QBs. Solid list, but one of these is not like the other. Sure, you could argue the rookie Prescott shouldn't be in there, but we've seen for 10 weeks now that he's completely legit. Mariota? Nope, there were a lot of paths that could have ended up with him getting here. But nestled in there at #9 is Mr. Kaepernick himself. And who in their right mind would have ever thought in the everest of evers just two months ago that he'd be here? Buried behind Blaine Gabbert, and 6 feet under the scrutiny/scolding of the national media, Kaepernick was relegated to a borderline cut coming out of camp, and a for sure release after this season ends. Would he ever see the field again as an NFL QB? That was an actual question with a lot of credence in early September. Yet, after 10 weeks, the Kaep is back as a top QB option in fantasy football. Surprised? You shouldn't be.

But he's not the only one, just the first. Here are the top targets to, well...target heading into Week 11!

Chicago Bears wide receiver Cameron Meredith (81) is tackled by Miami Dolphins linebacker Spencer Paysinger (42) during the second half of an NFL preseason football game in Chicago, Thursday, Aug. 13, 2015. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast) The Bears have been trash this season. Now they have a possible Jordan Howard injury and an Alshon Jeffery suspension which creates a FAAB spending opportunity. I can't say for certain whether we should pick up Bears running backs Jeremy Langford or Ka'deem Carey because I can't say whether Howard is injured. My take on whether John Fox is truthful is "Nah, he ain't ever been". I'm with Howard on this one and that means the Jeffery suspension is our primary interest. It puts at least two players in the spotlight, Cameron Meredith and Eddie Royal. Marquess Wilson is also interesting if he's going to play. Time to look at the waiver wire and spend some FAAB.
r122634_2_600x400_3-2 Well, well, well, look whose back!  It is me, your fearless Fantasy Football Goddess!  Yes, it is true that I had abandoned all of you the past few weeks.  Let this be a lesson to all of you, never, and I mean NEVER travel to Yemen with 2 kilos of hash stowed away in your hooter.  At least, not unless you have an endless supply of money to throw at the Yemeni (is that a word?) government to let you out.  So, needless to say, I am finally back in the states, hooter is back to its normal shape and size, and I am a better person for it.  All in all, it was an experience and I am happy to say that I learned that 2 kilos is 1.5 kilos too much.  So how are we all doing?  It’s been a rough few weeks in the fantasy realm, I see.  I have taken quite a beating myself (body cavity searches aside) and I am at that point in the season where I am throwing in Jose at running back.  You all know Jose.  He was the groundskeeper that I picked up last year and held onto in a lifetime keeper league.  Sure, he doesn’t put up quite the points that I would expect him to, but hey, he puts up more points than most, am I right?  Well, since I know you are all chomping at the bit to hear what gospel I have to bestow upon you this week, I will delay no more.  Here you are, my loyal horde, Week 11’s Hit it or Quit it.

National Football League, we've got a lot of problems with you, and now you're going to hear about it. In no particular order, when did the NFC North become the new AFC South? With the NFC East being a pretty good division again, does that mean I have to start wearing my 90's flannel shirts? And should we all get concussions? Afterall, according to you, it's not just a concussion, it's a cancussion. Why is it, that amidst your "Salute to Service" Sunday, that you don't mention that the taxpayers fund all the lavish patriotism we see every Sunday? What is a catch? It's like the only thing that's ever stayed a controversy in football since I was a kid. That, and John Elway probably being a secret horse in disguise. In fact, here was the first official NFL rules committee meeting to define what exactly a catch was. But most of all (just in the context of yesterday, because why trap yourself, ya know?), I’m so confused on how the Seahawks actually won. (Note: It's weird to watch a game where you end up screaming in agony when anything good happens for either team.) Admittedly, I'm not so much confused on how they actually won, that's pretty straightforward; it was some combination of an overrated New England defense getting exposed, mixed with big nights from Russell Wilson (25/37, 348 YDS, 9.4 AVG, 3 TD, 124.6 RTG and 3 CAR, 6 YDS) and C.J. Prosise (17 CAR, 66 YDS, 3.9 AVG, 10 LONG and 7 REC, 87 YDS, 12.4 AVG, 38 LONG, 7 TGTS). But how the Seahawks could win in such a karmaic (word?) fashion... I mean, talk about sh*tty calls for the last four plays of the game, almost seems familiar. Almost like it's happened before... And I'm sure the Boston media will have a field day talking about how the "non-call" on Gronk was a crime against humanity, a genocide they'll say! Well, if he didn't do such a great job blocking into the endzone on a run play to Blount that should have been the call, they might have had a case. In the mean time, I wouldn't worry to much about Patriots "nation" forming a protest to go against the result, mainly because they probably think "genocide" has something to do with the Jets...
belichick-confused Well, after that barn burner on Thursday Night Football, I'm not sure the NFL can live up to my expectations. I mean, it's not every week when you get to watch a team journey about 2,000 leagues under rock bottom, but the Browns appear to be the hero we need, not the one we deserve. And if your levels of misanthrope and despondence are running low, the Bears against the Bucs, Rams versus the Jets, and Texans at the Jags have got you covered. There are some interesting games today though, if you're into that sort of thing (really?) with the Cowboys visiting Pittsburgh and a Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and Patriots. There probably won't be any mistaken calls at the goal line involving Marshawn Lynch, but never underestimate Seattle's offense to not ef things up. They've become quite good at it, and I'm quite sure that Bill Belichick has noticed, while also trolling all the Dion Lewis fantasy owners out there. Just chewing gum and walking at the same time I suppose. Though, this is coming from a guy who endorsed a Cheetos Puff for president, so I'll consider anything he says as "dubious" for now.
