Fantasy Football Podcast: Airport T-Shirt, “I Survived Vegas And Bye-mageddon”

October 28, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy |

B_Don is back from Vegas and he brought in JB Barry to fill in while DT is stuck out there paying debts off to the Vegas cashiers. I wonder what is harder, the recovery after 4 days in Vegas or surviving Bye-mageddon?

We run through positions starting with the signal callers. We talk about where we are on Tua for the rest of the season. Then, we talk about who currently falls into our QB5 spot in dynasty. On a much shorter timeline, we talk about what we’re doing with Aaron Rodgers this week sans Davante Adams and Allen Lazard.

We move on to RBs with some of the more intriguing time split situations Elijah Mitchell, Damien Harris, Kenneth Gainwell, and Myles Gaskin. We wrap up the show with some TE talk where we discuss the former Eagles duo of Dallas Goedert and Zach Ertz. Finally, we wrap up with a discussion about Mike Gesicki and what his value looks like over the ROS.

Week 8 Fantasy Football Primer

October 28, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 22 Comments

by: everywhereblair

How did the Bye-mageddon go for everybody? Or was it more of a Bye-pocalypse? Did you support the Bye-din Administration? Or did you get a bit Bye-curious and start changing up your roster? Maybe you finally addressed that Bye-polar condition you have. ENYWHEY (I ran out of Bye-related jokes). The average fantasy footballer (Hi Grey’s mom!) is nearing the playoff stretch already. How weird is that? Didn’t we just start the season? Some of those big leagues have playoffs starting in week 12. And as we all know, the most important league in the world — the RazzBowl — has that week 9 cutline. Lemme check if I’m going to pass go and collect $200…hmmm, gonna be close. My risky strategy to draft the 49ers stack (Kittle, Samuel, Aiyuk, and Lance) did not pay off. So my RazzBowl effort may be closing here soon, but I’ve got a bit of good news after the jump! Join me to celebrate!

Target Report: Week 8

October 27, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 23 Comments

by: Nic Romero

Taking inventory of target share (TS) and snap share (SS) data is a critical tool to help with start-sit decisions, and provide a framework for buy-low/sell-high trade candidates. Every Wednesday the Target Report will highlight key TS/SS data and takeaways from the weekend.

Success in fantasy football is built around opportunity, especially consistent opportunity. Don’t get caught up only chasing fantasy points. Peyton Manning focused more on what happened between endzones versus what transpired on the scoreboard. It is important not to overreact to a poor fantasy outing when the usage is still there. Or overreact to a fantasy explosion for a player that barely found the field or was barely targeted in the game. Trust the data and trust the process…

Weekly Rankings for 2021 Fantasy Football: Week 8

October 27, 2021 | Weekly Rankings | 39 Comments

by: Donkey Teeth

Each week I’ll be spending countless hours flipping coins in order to determine an order for my weekly rankings which will be published bright and early each Wednesday morning. It’s an elaborate round-robin coinflipping system for each position. Wide receivers alone take me a full Monday worth of coin flips. And I’m currently in the process of filing for workers comp due to carpal tunnel. But it’s well worth it, knowing that you, the loyal Razzball reader, appreciate my pain and sweat. Just so you know you can trust me, here’s how my coin flipping system stacked up against all of the other 149 industry analysts competing against me in the 2020 Fantasy Pros Weekly Ranking Competition:

Anyway, here’s my week 8 rankings for half PPR 2021 fantasy football that will be frequently updated by coin flip up until kickoff:

Tuesdays at Razzball Fantasy Football are going to be “lit,” as the kids say. Although I’m not sure if the kids put it in quotation marks, I’ll have to check in with VH1 on that. Regardless, we have the one and only The Joey Wright leading off every Tuesday morning with his in-depth waiver wire advice column. Then Blair spins his MNF narrative with an eloquent Monday Night Football recap and Paul Blake shares some deep league thoughts. Finally, I’ll bring it up the rear with my rest of season rankings broken down by position. Reminder, these rest of season rankings are only a very rough guideline to be used for trade formulation and other roster decisions. These are geared toward half PPR formats and should be adjusted accordingly for your particular league settings. Anyway, here’s the updated positional rankings for the rest of the half PPR 2021 fantasy football season:

*Note: Sortable rest of season rankings will be published on Thursday afternoons. Until then, check out Rudy’s sortable rest of season rankings and projections.

Dynasty Waiver Wire for 2021 Fantasy Football

October 26, 2021 | Dynasty Fantasy Football Strategy | 4 Comments

by: Paul Blake

Here in the midwest, the first frosty mornings are now in the books. It is an ominous sign for midwesterners (like myself) that winter is right around the corner. Work needs to be done. Much like that fantasy league you are in. There is still time to turn things around in head-to-head games, but you will have to work at it. Always remember, you do not need a record better than the top team in your league, you merely need to sneak into those playoffs and push from there, so focus on the record of the team in 4th place. Everyone could use some weapons upgrades for the cold battles that lie ahead.

It’s dangerous to go alone! Take this.

Kamara in Space: Monday Night Football Recap

Folx, it is my 100th article here on the fantasy football side of Razzball! I can’t believe that I ended up outpacing baseball with my football content. It’s like my left hand doesn’t know what my right hand is doing. ACKSHUALLY, what is my right hand doing? Oh, typing. What about? Oh yeah, there was a football game last night. Peyton and Eli decided to re-start their Monday Night Football viewing sessions in honor of my 100th article. Hey, Donkey Teeth! Can we make this article into an NFT? Maybe Peyton will buy it and I’ll finally be able to retire to Razzball Island (located near Easter Island, FYI). ENYWHEY. Let’s check out what happened on Monday Night Football:

Wright On Waivers: Week Eight

October 26, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 34 Comments

by: thejoeywright

I had my first board meeting with the Razzball executives this past week and was it a doozy. If you’re wondering what a meeting with Razzball looks like, it is all very secretive and mysterious. None of our identities are known and we all wear large teddy bear suits. We often get accused of copying the 1998 motion picture The Avengers (no not the Marvel one), but they told me we did it first. At the meeting we addressed how we should refer to the free agent acquisition budget (FAAB) percentages going forth. After two darts in the neck to teddy bears I can only assume were Skorish and JB Barry (neither returned my calls over the weekend), we decided going forth the percentages will still reflect original budget. We would like to thank all who contributed and Reddit for sending their weird bear with the crazy smile. Apparently, he had to pay extra tokens for it and we know this because he just would not shut up about it! Alas, your waivers.

Buy/Sell for 2021 Fantasy Football, Week 8: Les Paul, More Gibson

October 25, 2021 | Fantasy Football Buy/Sell | 26 Comments

*Buy, Sell, Holds released by Anime Donkey prior to week 7—Amine Donkey says ignore the Miles Sanders buy due to injury*

I’m bringing this week’s buy/sell column to you from Sin City, where I haven’t slept since I arrived Saturday afterno&*xnak;lsf. Sorry, dozed off for a minute there. I have to be on the brief side this week because every minute I sit here typing is a minute I’m losing money. They’re literally giving money away downstairs. FREE MONEY GIVEAWAY!! Do you know who else is like free money right now? Antonio Gibson. The Football Team’s lead back is getting no mainstream respect because J.D. McKissic rears his ugly head in the passing game from time to time. The past two weeks Gibson has played less than 50% of the offensive snaps which isn’t great, but that’s also been driven by heavily negative game scripts along with his shin injury. After having gone bust each of the past two weeks, now is the perfect time to acquire Gibson, who I’d expect to produce solid RB2 numbers rest of season with backend RB1 upside. Who’s ready to gamble with me? Can I get a loan? Anyway, here’s some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy football:

Burrow Buries Baltimore: Sunday Football Recap

October 25, 2021 | 2021 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Strategy | 19 Comments

by: everywhereblair

It happens every season: the reigning Super Bowl champ gets shutout in the first half of his game before getting injured in the second-half comeback attempt, while the team that — just last year — was contending for worst team in the NFL so far this young century ends up with 400 passing yards and winning by 3 touchdowns. How’s that for an opening run-on sentence? I mean, you can just call that sentence the Broncos because you can run on it all day. Speaking of unlikely outcomes, the undrafted RB making his first career start — D’Ernest Johnson — dominated Thursday Night Football like he had a controller equipped with extra turbo buttons. Hey, let’s call it Samhain Syndrome — the greats are crushed, and the crushed arise to walk the earth.

Let’s check out what else happened on Sunday in week 7 of fantasy football:

“Where is Donkey Teeth and who is this jackass in his place?” is what you are probably saying to yourself right now. Hi, I’m The Joey Wright, former Razzfan, current Razzwriter, and your Razz-fill-in for the the week while DT is getting his stable remodeled. I usually write the Monday morning waiver wire column, which we are way past by this time of the week. Today is Sunday! Time to set those lineups, make last minute add/drops, and possibly even push a trade through if your commissioner would allow it. I know I would. Over the past week, we have had amazing pieces from our entire staff of writers to help you with just those decisions.
