You ever get the feeling that things are too good to be true? Like that one time that hot girl from chem class Candice invited you over because she just couldn’t figure out how she was gonna survive that Algebra test and you thought to yourself ‘she has an ‘A’ in that class, no way she’s asking me over for a study session’. So you dress up in your best Mossimo t-shirt, your cool bandana, your shell necklace, threw your jansport bag on your back and trudged over for a little ‘studying’. Then you got there and all of her friends were there, books out on the table. She had her hair in a messy bun while wearing her reading glasses and a gym shirt while everyone was arguing over what a polynomial was. There was no reason for you to think the situation was any more then what it looked like except for the fantasies racing around in your head telling you different. Well I’m here to tell you something very similar is going on with our freshly coifed friend Wes Welker and his fantasy outlook this year. So follow me as I move on from my Candice fantasies and move onto why Welker will let you down for 2013 Fantasy Football…
Please, blog, may I have some more?For a fourth straight season, Razzball will be interviewing local NFL beat writers for some actual in-depth football knowledge to shed some additional light on our fantasy football knowledge. Keep your eye out for an interview for every NFL team through the summer. This installment comes courteous of Alex Mann from leading Arizona Cardinals blog Revenge of the Birds:
Please, blog, may I have some more?First let me sum up for David Wilson owners how this feels in jpeg format. According to ESPN – who are known for their hard hitting analysis so we should trust them with our sports news forever and always [/sarcasm font] – Coughlin intends to split carries between Wilson and Andre Brown this year and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, we’re finally winding this mother down. I’ve been peppering you with my Rankings throughout June and July and now you get to see the culmination of my work in this little ditty. Keep in mind that I’ll do my best to keep my rankings with words up to date as we go along, but […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I already went over my (admittedly vague) definition of a Sleeper and Bust in the Defensive Line version of this article, but it’s worth revisiting. A sleeper is someone who will significantly outperform their draft position, allowing you to improve your team at other positions, while a bust is someone who will essentially do the opposite.

Please, blog, may I have some more?So I need to air something with you here from the get go: this was waaaaayyyy too early to be drafting. We held this on July 10th which is a good two months from real kick-off. I highly encourage you to never get that far from the start of the season. Too much can happen between now and game one of the year. We don’t know who’s hobbled other than guys with off-season surgery. I mean, first pre-season snap hasn’t even been made and we’re out here drafting like we know what’s what and in a deep league, no less. And yes, this is a deep league to an extent. It’s one thing to have 14 teams, it’s entirely another to have the standard set up plus 3 flex positions on top of them in said 14 team. Oh and one of the flex spots has a QB just to add to the fun. But enough of the blather, here’s my team for the ‘American League’ 14 team Auction draft for 2013 Fantasy Football…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Now I’ve been nice all summer long by pumping out sleeper posts. I gave you a Chris Ivory Sleeper post, a Sam Bradford Sleeper post and even a Chris Givens Sleeper post. Yes that was a clever ruse to get you to click around the site a bit. At least I’m no Bleacher Report and giving you a slideshow with every article. ‘And now let’s discuss why Mark Sanchez is bad for fantasy football. Slide 1: butt fumble, Slide 2: butt fumble.gif, Slide 3: Butt Fumble in slow motion, Slide 4:…’, eh, you get the point that I’m an internet whore but not THAT kind of internet whore. Moving on, I just wanted to say you have to sometimes take the gloves off with players. Can’t always say ‘tremendous upside’ or ‘great value pick’. Sometimes you have to point out what’s missing. So let’s discuss Hakeem Nicks and why he’s avoidable in most drafts for 2013 Fantasy Football…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well this will be my last ranking post with words on each player. I know you want to cry but hold back the tears, friends, we’ll still be with you all summer to cover any rankings updates that need updating and any Amanda Bynes news that needs ignoring. When we last left off on our rankings with the Top 80 Wide Receivers, I said we were in the ‘Veddy Interesting’ tier and that it stretched into the Top 100. Or else Puck a liar call, that still holds true. Oh and if you’re wondering where that link came from, you can click here where I’ve magically hyperlink typed Rankings or you can use all your finger strength and move up to the menu bar where it says ‘Rankings’ to find all your needs fulfilled. At this point of my rankings clearly I’m talking to deep leaguers or the completely insane (which, admittedly, can be one and the same person) so if you’re doing the regular 10 or 12 team thing with the usual roster set up, feel free to ignore. These remaining ain’t for you unless you enjoy the whimsy of my writing (and who doesn’t!). So without more delay, let’s get to the Top 100 Wide Receivers for 2013 Fantasy Football…
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well it’s bee awhile and I would personally like to thank Sky for allowing me to return after a much need break. Before you ask, I was not banished from the island of Razzball. Like a bad episode of Survivor, I was on vacation and a much needed vacation at that. Speaking of Survivor, I just joined an interesting fantasy football league that is a draft only, best ball format, but the team with the lowest points each week gets removed until there is only one left. I’ve seen lots of interesting formats but that one is above and beyond cool, looking forward to it although I will probably be out week 1, being an outcast sucks….but well enough of that, I’m writing today to bring you a perspective of a very different quarterback then that of rising star Tannehill whom I spoke of in my last post which you can find here with my Ryan Tannehill Dynasty diatribe. That player we are talking about somewhat in the hot seat is quarterback Josh Freeman of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Freeman in the hot seat?! Let’s trudge on into the ether that is the second paragraph to find out…
Please, blog, may I have some more?To quote Woody Allen, ‘my daughter is hot’. Woah, wrong quote! No, the quote I was gonna go with here was ’80 percent of life is just showing up’. That’s where all the opportunities lie, really, and this one was no different. I was minding my own beeswax on Sunday afternoon, writing in my fantasy […]
