“I’ll never let go, Jack… I’ll never let go.” — Titanic “I wanna go home.” — Bubba dying in Forrest Gump “Brooks was here.” — Hanging in The Shawshank Redemption Which one you goin’ with? Any way we slice it, the end of the fantasy football season is as sad as a classic tearjerker on […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Target Report
After three consecutive days of gluttonous eating and drinking – yes, my family even does Christmas Eve-Eve – I’m sitting down at 11:41 p.m. EST to bring you my weekly target report. Some might call that dedication. I don’t care if it’s 11:40 at night, 1 in the morning or even freakin’ 4 in the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Countless hours of research. Long, sleepless nights. Tossing and turning in bed… start or sit? Start or sit? Moments of believing we are actual NFL general managers. All that over-exaggerated drama brings us here: The fantasy football final four. The margin of error has now decreased from slim to none. One wrong push of a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Let’s f’n go!!! It’s playoff time in the land of fantasy football, and I couldn’t be more pumped. Some quick pointers straight off the top: This is a major research week in terms of streaming tight ends and defenses. It’s been a ridiculously bad season for tight ends – unless you have Travis Kelce, Mark […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was yet another bizarre and dramatic week in the NFL, one highlighted by lowlights: Jimmy Garoppolo (broken foot) is out for the season; Deshaun Watson finally returned and looked absolutely awful, while Lamar Jackson picked up a knee injury that destroyed Week 13 fantasy hopes and dreams. So let’s pick up the pieces to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?My readers of the past couple of decades will tell you this wouldn’t be an authentic Frascella column unless it opened this way: MIKE WHITE, BABY! LET’S GO!! I generally open our weekly foray into target distribution with the NFL “story of the week,” and well, how can it not be my guy Mikey White? […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Normally, I come in hot with a BANG in this column. Some amazing Justin Jefferson catch or an improbable, incredible team comeback to headline the week’s action… but not this time. Week 11 is the time to look at the lowlights and take stock of a very important fantasy development: It’s getting colder, scores are […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Week 10 in the NFL featured two of the best games of the entire season: The Green Bay Packers saved their season by knocking off the Cowboys in overtime (31-28), while the Vikings stunned the Bills in overtime (33-30) after one of the wildest back-and-forth finishes you will ever see in your lifetime. Within those […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Week 9 is in the books, and while we didn’t see the same number of high-scoring players as last week, we saw one who probably won’t be matched for a long time. Joe Mixon scored a whopping 54 fantasy points (PPR), which included 153 yards and four TDs on the ground. He also “chipped in” […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Every time we think we’ve seen it all in the NFL, another wild week roars in and blows us away. Joe Mixon scored FIVE touchdowns in the Bengals’ convincing victory over the Panthers? Tom Brady pulled off another miracle late-game comeback in a career loaded with them? And last but certainly not least… my Jets […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Another week in the books, and what a week it was. We saw 10 players score multiple TDs, rushing or receiving. Of those, four players (Alvin Kamara, Tony Pollard, D’Onta Foreman and A.J. Brown) had three scores. We even say the NFL Swiss Army Knife, Christian McCaffrey, scores the elusive football hat trick (passing, rushing […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?If there’s anything Week 7 in the NFL taught us, it’s that most of us don’t know much about football. The Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Bucs dropped to 3-4, alongside the Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers. On the other side of the coin? Brian Daboll’s Giants are 6-1, Robert Saleh’s Jets are 5-2 and Geno […]
