The playoffs are here to separate the real from the fake. Are you the fantasy player who sets your lineup based on ESPN projections or are you thinking for yourself and going out and grabbing your championship? I hope it’s the latter. I’m certainly going to be aggressive as hell with my rankings for the next 3 weeks. I’m going with my gut, and my gut has been mostly right for the second half of the season. Nobody is safe if they aren’t putting up the scores, ya dig?

Absolutely FAABulous Week 14: Playoff Time!

Here’s hoping you made the playoffs in all your leagues; of course the one league I didn’t make it was the one that cost the most paperclips; that’s what we call it in my work league, at least we do until the Supreme Court decides gambling is legal everywhere. So let’s thank Chris Christie (sitting front row) and the wonderful state of New Jersey for bringing this case to the Supreme Court (under the guise of State’s Rights, no less) because gambling should be legal in America. Then I thought about trips to casinos, the race track and OTBs and realize if there was one thing we need is not more places to make bets in America. I can absolutely wait on sports gambling at 7-11, McDonalds, Target, Starbucks, and everywhere in between. I’m sticking to Fantasy thank you very much.

Anyway the season has progressed rather quickly it seems, and I’m not ready for the fantasy season to be over in three weeks. So let’s do what we can to enjoy them. You guys that have been with me through the weeks know we are talking Free Agent Auction Bidding. Back in week one we started with $100; now I’m going to try something different, giving us $25 to play with. So let’s get spending!

Waiver Wired, Week 14: Hooking Up with Garoppolo

December 5, 2017 | 2017 Fantasy Football, 2017 Waiver Wire | 20 Comments

Like my old baseball coach used to tell us when working on turning double-plays at second base, “You gotta get one to get two.” Fantasy football playoff time is finally upon us and you’ve gotta get one win to get two (and then most importantly, three.) Below you’ll find some of the hottest adds of the week to help your team maintain their dominance and get the first “one” in round one of your playoffs.

Let me know what you’re looking at on your waivers in the comment section and I’ll let you know what I think Tuesday evening.

Gordon Might Bake Up A Kizer Roll

Good morning Razzball readers. I’m glad all of you made the playoffs because of our excellent advice site-wide. Maybe some of you won’t lock your playoff spot until your last-minute push from Monday Night Football, that’s fine too, because you’re going to make it. There’s a lot a couple of different things that need to happen for me to make it through to the playoffs in the Industry Duds league. It didn’t help that a certain writer, who obviously doesn’t write for this site, didn’t set his lineup and a team ahead of me who doesn’t deserve a win might get a win. I hope this fantasy karma follows him throughout the playoffs in the leagues that he cares about. Selfishness doesn’t get you anywhere, buddy.

I liked the way that this article came out last week, so I want to do it again. It’s playoff season, we don’t need to wade through the bullshit anymore. Let’s talk about the players who are going to help us win every championship that we can. Let’s have fun waiving our fingers at the players who are going to sit on the bench because they can’t cut it in must win games. How about some stats? Do you like trends? I love trends. They’re trendy. So hot right now. Can you tell I’m just trying to eat up words right now? It’s really taking up more of your morning bowel movement than necessary. Enough already! Give me the juicy stuff MB. What did you see on the red zone channel? Tell me what you saw in the box scores MB. TELL ME WHAT YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT. Don’t even bother with the stuff you missed, it’s not important and it makes you look dumb. You’re not dumb, MB. Just give me your thoughts.

We’re Going Streaming!, Week 13: Playoff Precipice

“EasyE doesn’t lose contests. He wins them. Or quits them because they are unfair” – Me right now, probably. And I’m sure many of you are in this same boat. Hopefully it’s more of the former and less of the latter (though the hypothetical situations and whining over small details that would have made someone victorious is what fantasy is all about). Win and you’re in? Playing spoiler? The NFL playoff hunt is getting real just as our fantasy one culminates. So much excitement this time of year and it’s another beautiful day to talk pigskin. Let’s clinch some playoff spots shall we? And how are we going to go about doing that?? .. We’re going streaming!! As always, I look at Yahoo ownership percentages after the waivers run on Thursday morning and focus on guys owned in less than 65% of leagues. I know you’re ready Snoop-a-loop. And you’ve already got the green hat. Marvelous.

It’s playoffs time for many of you, and if not this week, then the next few. I’d throw in a jab-like Chargers-Playoffs (weird) joke here normally, but I’m not sure what to do anymore. Drink more? Drink less? Eat the bottle? Why not all three at the same time? Regardless, all of us at Razzball Football are here to get you through these perilous and inebriated times, and with a strong bounce back week accuracy-wise (Rudy is having a fantastic year too!), I look forward to bringing my all the next month to get you to the championship. Now excuse me while I go eat some bourbon for breakfast while staring at a Philip Rivers GIF…

Pants unzipped.

Our Week 13 Rankings for Standard, Half-PPR, PPR and IDP leagues are right after the jump! (And our Rest of Season rankings have been updated and can be found here!)

Handcuff Report, Week 13: Love the Drake

November 29, 2017 | 2017 Fantasy Football, 2017 Handcuff Report | 12 Comments

by:

If I could, I would focus on Alvin Kamara in this space every week. Is it just me, or does he look more impressive every week? He never goes down, keeps his balance, and keeps moving forward. Really, really impressive. It seems like the Saints are finally taking note, too:

Anyway, welcome back from Thanksgiving break. I hope you remembered to set your lineups and didn’t end up sitting there eating turkey with that feeling that you forgot to do something, then lost your matchup and knocked yourself out of the playoffs. I know there’s at least one of you out there.

Week 12 was a bit of a handcuff special. Injuries led to Jamaal Williams getting the call in Green Bay, and he delivered with two touchdowns and over 130 total yards. A 54-yard reception and run for a touchdown made his numbers look a lot better than they would have otherwise been, but the points still count. Going forward, on the other hand, I wouldn’t count on getting similar production from Jam-Will (just made that up mid-sentence). 

It is looking like Aaron Jones will be out for at least another week, but Ty Montgomery could be back this week. If Montgomery is back, he is going to be the starting back over Williams. At the very least, he will eat into enough of the touches to render Williams worthless. It probably isn’t safe to start Montgomery this week if you are in a must-win for the playoffs, but if you have to start a Green Bay back (a Green Bay Backer, one might say…), he should be the guy over Williams.

Elsewhere on the handcuff landscape, Tevin Coleman proved once again to be one of the more valuable handcuffs as he played for the injured Devontae Freeman for the second week in a row. He was a top-5 running back this week, piling up nearly 100 rushing yards and punching in two touchdowns for the Falcons. Freeman should be back this week, but the timeshare isn’t very clear. With Coleman’s success and Freeman coming back from a fairly serious concussion, the Falcons could turn to a more 50-50 share as opposed to the previous setup that featured Freeman more prominently. Heck, they could decide to roll with the hot hand and lean 60-40 or more on Coleman. They are, however, going up against a Vikings defense that won’t make things easy on them…
