Fantasy Football thoughts and opinions heading into NFL Week 1. New Orleans 34, Green Bay 42 I think the NFL should have used this version of an American anthem to kick off the season. Pierre Thomas, not Darren Sproles, was the running back in the first part of the two minute drill. Head coach […]

Packers and Saints Fantasy Fallout
September 9, 2011 | 2011 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Daily Notes | 13 Commentsby: JB Gilpin
The Saints/Packers opener was one of the best season debuts I can remember. Coming down to the final yard, both offenses put up huge numbers for us fantasy guys, both defenses/special teams made big plays, and we actually found out some usable information for some fake roster changes: Saints Backfield – Ingram’s the Guy: Even […]

The Fantasy Smash Back
September 9, 2011 | 2011 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Daily Notes | 18 Commentsby: Jeff Brubach
So much for the one game NFL appetizer to get us ready for the weekend, huh? That was like crushing 12 pounds of calamari with a 24 ounce Porterhouse on the way. Lots to chew through for a single game but there were a few pieces in there that could help you gain an advantage […]

Yes, we are officially on regular season time! Thank the football Gods the NFL is back! Sadly one of the best in the game will be out for a while, but we’ll talk more about that later. Tonight we get a matchup that could be a preview of the NFC Championship game. The Packers and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There’s a sweet smell in the air this time of year. But it’s not tailgates, beer and highly-paid men in pads pummeling each other. It’s actually the smell of full-grown men (and women?) hunched over their laptops, researching, adding, dropping and trading their way to glory. Yes, friends, fantasy football season is upon us. And […]

September 7, 2011 | 2011 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Daily Notes | 29 Commentsby: Doc
I did a draft at the site RotoBowl the other day in hopes that I can win some big money and thought I’d take a look see at my team out here in the light of day. I’m always afraid of what I might see! Before we get on with the show I’m also doing […]

In an attempt to help determine which quarterback, wide receiver, and/or tight end to start in week one we have sliced and diced some statistics. The stats we are using are the last six games of last season. With numerous off season moves there are some inaccuracies with using the data to predict 2011 outcomes. […]

(I suggest printing this out to read in the bathroom, or on your next transatlantic flight in lieu of Ambien.) . . . More than a decade ago, […]

September 5, 2011 | 2011 D/ST Matchups, 2011 Fantasy Football, Fantasy Football Daily Notes | 45 Commentsby: Doc
As many of you know I am a proponent of streaming fantasy defenses all season long. Of course there are always some glitches in your plans due to teams already being owned, especially if your opponents are streaming as well. I try not to look too far ahead because I am a short-sighted sloth? No, […]

September 5, 2011 | 2011 Fantasy Football | 12 Commentsby: JB Gilpin
Back before James Cameron was pumping out epic movie crap like Avatar and Titanic, he actually made some quality films. Terminator 2 obviously comes to mind, but I really like The Abyss, a movie a lot of people haven’t seen or heard of. Cameron’s resume is a good metaphor for fantasy players. Everyone knows the […]
