It’s championship week in most leagues, so there aren’t many roster holes that need to be plugged. There are teams everywhere who rode Adrian Peterson and Drew Brees to the title game, and they aren’t too worried. But there are also teams that got this far on the backs of Russell Wilson, James Jones and […]

Fantasy Football Chameleon
With the first week of playoffs in the books for most leagues, it’s rare that contending teams need a ton of help on the Waiver Wire. Your roster is set, and you don’t want to complicate things by creating unnecessary decisions. After all, there’s nothing worse than losing a close playoff matchup by making the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Oh yeah, we talkin’ bout playoffs. Unless you’re in a league that has its Championship during a meaningless Week 17 (which I hate), or you’re in a Total Points league (which I actually like), this week marks the start of fantasy playoffs. For those who did not qualify (which includes myself in three of my […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As we head into the last week of the regular season, there are three types of teams remaining. First, the top seeds. These teams clinched the playoffs weeks ago, some even clinching byes, and they have turned their eyes towards Weeks 14-16. Next, the playoff contenders. These teams are fighting for their playoff lives, likely […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?At this point in the season, the emergence of high impact waiver-wire pickups is pretty rare. Unless of course you’re in a dynasty/keeper league, in which case I will have a special column just for you later on this week. But for the rest of us, there is limited upside to most of the players […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Week 10 of 2012 will be remembered as the Week of the D/ST. The Broncos, Cowboys, Titans, Colts and Bucs all put up huge point totals that likely swung more than a few matchups, and the Steelers have yet to face the pathetic Chiefs. I for one am against the more unpredictable aspects of fantasy […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Something I’ve always thought about, but never thought would actually happen. It began like any other day, and halfway through it still wasn’t anything special, but then everything changed. The day would go down as one of the most important of my year, and maybe even my life. I’m talking […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?For years, the thing about fantasy football that annoyed me the most was the Running Back by Committee. Belichick and Shanahan were the bane of my existence, and it always seemed like the RB I had was the one who got less carries or who got their TD vultured. I have since given up on […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This article was delayed a week because I ventured into the craziness of the Austin City Limits music festival last weekend. While most of the 70,000 people there were screaming for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I was screaming for Jordy Nelson as he single-handedly won me my matchup in a Razzball Commenter League. I […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?October is an amazing month for sports fans. The NFL is settling into its mid-season groove, the baseball playoffs are kicking off, the NBA preseason just began, and hockey fans get to familiarize themselves with terms like “court of appeals” and “negotiations stalled.” Football and basketball fans feel your pain, and we hope you enjoy […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As we all dwell on leaving Brian Hartline on our bench or Waiver Wire, let us not forget that he was playing with a rookie QB against a defense that had shut down Tom Brady and Michael Vick in back to back weeks. Let us also not forget that going into Sunday, Hartline had only […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?At about 2AM on Sunday morning, I found myself in the rare position of singing “Happy Birthday” to a 63 year-old man. Not really singing as much as screaming at the top of my lungs. And it wasn’t just me, it was me and 55,000 other people. And it wasn’t just any 63 year-old man, […]
