Rest of Season Rankings for 2021 Fantasy Football: Week 7

October 19, 2021 | Rest of Season Rankings | 11 Comments

by:

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:

Dynasty League Waiver Wire Options for Week 7

Week seven will likely be a wild one. Bye weeks begin in earnest, and of course, you have the pile of injuries that continues to stack up. It will be a “last man standing” situation this week. And you want to be Bruce Willis, not Tim Allen. By the way, what pretentious title for the sitcom “Last Man Standing”. It is no wonder that the show was canceled. I know the rest of us are just a bunch of vegan, chai-sipping wussies staring at our phones, but do you think you could outlast all of us? C’mon Tim, Tool Time is over. Don’t embarrass the good folks at Binder. And with that, now on to the list.

Wright On Waivers: Week Seven

I see you there with your lone win, maybe two, and you are starting to worry. This is not at all how you thought the season was going to go when you were drafting back in August. The real fear is starting to sink in of completely missing the playoffs and having to play for your league’s last place trophy, which is probably some horrid garden ornament you must display in your home every day through the following season. I am here to tell you, there options and you guessed it, we are looking towards the silver screen for inspiration. When John Cassavetes’ acting career was in trouble in Rosemary’s Baby he reached out to his neighbors for help, but now he must help raise that baby and apparently something is wrong with his eyes. You could always see your local Godfather for some trade assistance and a deal no one could refuse, but horseheads are in short supply these days. Then again, it is probably better to buckle down and focus on fielding the best lineup you can. Allow me to be of assistance with this week’s waiver wire recommendations.

Buy/Sell for 2021 Fantasy Football, Week 7: I Ain’t Too Chicken To Buy Sanders

October 18, 2021 | Fantasy Football Buy/Sell | 33 Comments

by:

Buy Miles Sanders?! The same Miles Sanders who has just 29 carries over the past four weeks? Are you smoking crack again, Donkey Teeth? Yes, yes and not at the moment, Mr. Random Italicized voice. Here’s the thing with Miles Sanders: he’s the Eagles most dynamic and explosive weapon (or tied with Jalen Hurts) and they haven’t been giving him the ball. And they’ve been losing games. I’m no longer a rocket scientist—I quit rocket science to write dick jokes and fantasy football advice—but it seems like the Eagles just might realize that they should try giving Sanders the ball. From an opportunity standpoint, Sanders’ percentage of the offensive snaps has been on the rise each of the last three weeks, culminating in a season high of 83% this past week. So the lightbulb may have already gone on in Nick Sirianni’s head. Regardless, Sanders’ consensus fantasy value can’t get much lower and his owner in your league is probably ready to quit fantasy football altogether. He’s a risky investment depending on the cost but there’s a chance Colonel Sanders returns high-end RB2 production over the rest of the season. Anyway, here’s some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy football:

Taylorism Demonstrates Efficiency in Work: Sunday Football Recap

October 18, 2021 | Fantasy Football Strategy | 15 Comments

I just got off a Zoom call with Donkey Teeth as he was celebrating his Jonathan Taylor predictions by ziplining through the Himalayas. The first thing I asked him was: is it really safe to string up lines 20,000 feet high across treacherous political borders? The Zoom call cut out at that point, and DT must have started using a filter because his voice sounded really funny after that. DT’s such a clown. Then I asked him how he felt about the Colts’ Jonathan Taylor racking up 145 yards and 2 TDs on 14 carries. DT responded: “We really appreciate his prodigious output on such minimal attempts. We’re going to inspect his process and then implement it down the line such that Miles Sanders starts becoming relevant again. Please shop Razzball.com for your favorite merchandise and tell them Llama Mouth sent you.” Then the Zoom ended. So much for a free service! ENYWHEY.

Let’s check out the big performances from the Sunday slate in week 6 of fantasy football.

Fantasy Football Gameday: Week 6

October 17, 2021 | Fantasy Football Gameday | 26 Comments

by:

Imagine: there’s an alternate dimension out there where Drew Bledsoe stayed in the game and Tom Brady ended up signing as a backup QB with the Minnesota Vikings, where he took the field and handed off the ball on 3rd and 17 every time to line up for the optimal punt formation. At the age of 32, he retired to coach high school football in Nashville, but ultimately left football behind at age 39 because he had a chance to start a skydiving company in rural Arkansas with some college buddies. Bizarro Tom Brady is strapped to somebody’s back at 35,000 feet right now, waiting to plummet to earth. But our Tom Brady — the one that JB and MB love — is spending this Sunday getting pliable and expanding his cryptocurrency holdings after fending off the aerial assault of Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, who packed the season up already by trading away — finally! — Zach Ertz. Will Zach Ertz play today? That’s a great question! Somebody let me know down in the comments. Maybe he could play for Bishop Sycamore. Come, gather round and get ready for week 6 of fantasy football!

Week 6 Injury Report: Jabroni World

October 16, 2021 | Fantasy Football Injury Report, Fantasy Football Strategy | 9 Comments

by:

Is it me or are a lot of guys injured? Normally, I’d have some little cutsie intro to get into the carnage but sheesh, man! I don’t know about you but I’m getting killed out here! I actually sprained my right knee on a fishing boat last weekend and was listed as limited but here I am, dammit.

When I see the players I roster in person someday, I’m gonna tell them: If I can man up and type up a bunch of nonsense about fake football with a ligament injury, well then YOU GOTTA PLAY TOO, YOU BIG BABY!

As you can tell, this has been a tough week. Between my injury, all the injuries on my fantasy teams, and what’s happening to my Raiders… Well, we’ll get into that last part later.

And to add to the prevailing roster chaos we have our first bye week of the year! See you next week Jets, Falcons, 49ers, and Saints!

Let’s segue right into Sunday morning with an Intra-Florida showdown in London.

Movin’ On Up

  • Cordarrelle Patterson saw a season high 59% snap rate to go along with all of his production to start the year. 
  • Latavius Murray has lead the Ravens RBs in snaps for back to back weeks with 63% and 51%. 
  • In what went from AFC ‘Ship Preview to blowout quickly (so to speak with a rain delay in the middle of it), Zack Moss had 74% of the snaps. 
  • While Damien Williams got the score, it was Khalil Herbert that lead the Bears in snaps without David Montgomery available, and he saw 53% of the snaps in week 5. 
  • For back to back weeks, D’Andre Swift has seen higher than 70% snaps. 
  • With no Amendola, Chris Moore was the WR3 for the Texans this week at 63%. Could be something to monitor if they move Brandin Cooks.

  • With Will Fuller and DeVante Parker out in week 5, Preston Williams saw 74% of the snaps and was 2nd on the team to only Jaylen Waddle.

Brady, Fournette Lead Buccaneers over Hurts, Eagles

October 15, 2021 | Fantasy Football Daily Notes |

by:

At 44 years old, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is retired from professional boxing and Vince Carter is retired from professional basketball. Also 44 years old, John Cena and Brock Lesnar are no longer full-time professional wrestlers, making part time appearances. On the football field in this week’s Thursday Night Football game, we saw Tom Brady at 44 years old dueling it out with a quarterback who was born when Brady was in college. Brady won the battle against Jalen Hurts and the Eagles and is still out there performing at an elite level in the NFL. Arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady went out there on the national stage and methodically let the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to their 5th win of the season.
