Absolutely FAABulous Week 13: A Washington Worth Picking Up

November 26, 2019 | Waiver Wire | 25 Comments

The running back stash/wheel of death continues this week; I'm sensing a trend, maybe you've noticed? Early weeks, wide receivers were the dominant adds; now, its survival of the fittest running backs. So there are three wideouts I'd bid on this week and a bunch of RBs that may or may not help. Some should've been added prior weeks. There are even a couple of Tight Ends, which if you've been reading has been really tough to pin down which TE will hit each week.

Handcuff Report: Bad Boyz of Week 13

November 26, 2019 | Handcuff Report |

by: Nic Romero

It's that time of the year, the majority of fantasy leagues are entering the last week of the regular season. Fantasy owners that have secured a playoff spot need to prepare themselves for a championship victory. One way to protect yourself through the playoffs is by grabbing your stud running back handcuff. Unless you own two top 10 QBs, there is no reason to hold two quarterbacks. There is no point wasting bench spots with players that are never going to hit your starting lineup. Nothing is worse than losing Dalvin Cook while you are in the hunt for fantasy football glory only to find that you have no shot at grabbing Alexander Mattison because of low waiver priority or min FAAB budget. Make sure you grab your insurance policy before the price increases. Chris Carson owners are learning that lesson this week. Don't get caught with your pants down and good luck as you jockey for playoff positioning.

Waiver Sherpa – Week 13: A Penny For Your Thoughts?

First, I'd like to say I hope the counsel of the Waiver Sherpa helped keep you warm during these cold nights. If you don't make it past next week, I am thankful you have chosen me to be your guide during the 2019 season. Now, onto business!

The Jaguar Slayer

November 25, 2019 | Fantasy Football Daily Notes | 4 Comments

by: Donkey Teeth

A quick google search tells me there's only three predators capable of killing a Jaguar. The first is the anaconda—that big ass snake from the Jon Voight movie. The second is the caiman—these little gator looking guys in Mexico and South America. And the third, of course, is Derrick Henry—which makes sense because he looks a lot like a Predator. In week 13 last year, Henry took 17 carries for 238 yards and 4 touchdowns. I remember that game well because I was required to attend a 2.5 hour holiday lights trolley tour on that Thursday night which, to my surprise, turned out to be much more pleasant than watching Derrick Henry destroy my fantasy hopes and dreams before the week even started. Fast forward around 12 months, if you were playing against The Predator this week then I hope you also had a long Sunday afternoon holiday light trolley tour to attend. Henry rumbled for 159 yards on 19 carries plus another 16 yards on 1 reception and 2 touchdowns—he has 10 touchdowns on the season and is now under protest by PETA for his crimes against Jaguars. Anyway, here’s what else I saw during yesterday’s late games in fantasy football:

Christ Godwin Blesses Us Again

Holiday weather is here, folks! The entire East coast was one big wind storm and it greatly affected the game play. The scores were low, kickers were missing a bunch of kicks and quarterback play was way down in that part of the country. Even Russell Wilson struggled to get anything going. We will see more and more of this as we head into the fantasy playoffs. With weather becoming more of a factor, it makes the lineup decisions a bit more complicated on a week to week basis. It helps to have drafted good running backs early in the draft. I'm talking directly to you zero RB truthers out there. Let's get to what I saw during the early games on Sunday, starting with the quickest and least exciting game of them all in Buffalo.

Week 12 NFL Sunday Primer

I'm starting this on a Friday night, which is the beginning of my 9 day vacation from my day job. I take Thanksgiving week off every year because it only costs 3 vacation days to get 9 days off. Can't beat that. Anyways, week 12 is upon us so let's see what we have on the slate. The Giants will visit Soldier Field to take on the Bears who are just trying to get to .500 to save face. They probably aren't making the playoffs and they don't have a 1st round pick this year. The Broncos will face off against the Bills and the Broncos are many people's upset pick of the week. The Raiders will travel across the country to take on the Jets before facing the Chiefs next week for control of the AFC West. The Seahawks are coming off of their bye and will face a feisty Eagles team that is trying to stay in the NFC playoff hunt. The Cowboys are visiting the Patriots and this will be the matchup that most of America would rather see neither team win. And the night cap is a good one as we see Aaron Rodgers coming home (where he grew up) to take on the 49ers for NFC supremacy. Let's get to the week 12 injuries before we get to the updated rankings.

All-Seeing Eye – Week 12 Fantasy Matchups

November 23, 2019 | Start/Sit | 4 Comments

by: dominick

With trade deadlines in the rearview, we now turn the focus of this article to some juicy matchups, or not so juicy matchups to be aware of in hopes of garnering the playoff clinching win you need. Whether it be a wide receiver going against a terrible secondary to love, or a running back to avoid in a bad game script, we will try to find a few of these showdowns. Of course, you are not going to sit a player like Davante Adams against the 49ers even though the San Francisco pass defense is number one in the league. We are instead going to take a look at some options you might be hesitant about. A player on the cusp of the starting lineup as it were. So, with this said, let's do this.

With the fantasy playoffs only two weeks away, these next few games are going to be absolutely crucial for almost every team in any league. Even if you have a spot wrapped up, it's about getting the best possible team out there every week for a hopeful deep playoff run. And for those on the fringes, it's make-or-break time! Let's talk about some players you should start, and those you should keep on the bench.

Week 12 NFL DFS Guide

November 23, 2019 | DraftKings, FanDuel |

by: JCohn

Julio Jones is always a costly receiving option. In the past seven weeks though, he has underperformed based on his expensive price point. Three catches for 79 yards against the Saints was fine, I guess. Six catches for 91 last week would have been awesome for a DFS WR3 option. But for Julio, this just doesn't cut it for me. This is exactly the reason why I hope he doesn't get taken by the other CLUELESS daily fantasy players that don't read my almighty advice before each Sunday. Those same people that didn't read my advice on the Josh Allen-John Brown stack, or Zeke's bounce-back performance, or Kyle Rudolph's minimally-priced game last week. Sigh. Some people will never learn. Here are the top value picks, alongside Julio, for DFS this week.

Data Domination Week 12: How Good Are The Ravens?

November 23, 2019 | Fantasy Football Analysis |

by: Pat

Welp. Last week was a kick in the pants, but don’t fret I was right there taking it with you. People are saying it was the Vegas sportsbooks worst weekend of the year. Favorites went 9-4-1 ATS on the closing line, while underdogs are 87-70-4 ATS overall this year on the closing line. Finding any edges in this fake sport we all have an unhealthy obsession with is a process over the course of the season. That process has led me to a 4 pieces I found in research this week that have implication on not only this week, but the rest of the season overall.

RazzBowl Revelations: RotoViz Rides

November 23, 2019 | RazzBowl |

by: Donkey Teeth

Two weeks into the first round of the inaugural RazzBowl Playoffs and its been all RotoViz. With only one week remaining in round one, RotoViz's Hasan Rahim and Mike Beers hold the the top two spots in the RazzBowl Championship Bracket. These two competitors remind me a lot of Myles Garrett and Antonio Brown, farting in their competitor's faces and then bashing them over the head with their own helmets. Wait, where am I? What's that smell? Oh, it's just those RotoViz boys doing their thing. The RazzBowl Committee is now keeping a close eye on the actions of RotoViz as a whole, they're on double secret probation!

I'm sure you're also wondering about Team Donkey Teeth because you spend most of your spare time thinking about my fantasy teams, right? Thanks for caring! We're hanging in there — 16th place in the RazzBowl Wildcard Bracket — poised to advance on to round two in the Wildcard Bracket or maybe even make the leap to the Championship Bracket with a big week 12 performance. Anyway, since there's no more pickups, let's take a look back at some of the best bargains who were taken in the top 100 on RazzBowl Draft Day across all 15 of our leagues. Psych! First I need to mention the RazzBowl 2020 signup, which is now live! Alright, now lets look at those draft bargains . . .
