As I flipped back and forth between MNF and the World Series (and thought over my fantasy baseball and fantasy football seasons), I couldn’t help but compile a mental fantasy baseball vs. fantasy football monologue in my head. Most of it probably only made sense to me in that moment, but through it I realized […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Guys Worth a Look 1. Mike “who the @#$%” Thomas-which Jaguars receiver has the most targets over the last three weeks? Holt? Wrong. Sims-Walker? Wrong. Mike Thomas lead all Jags receivers in week 8 with seven targets, comprising 14% of all offensive looks. Holt weighed in with six targets and Sims-Walker a measly three. For […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Formula: Rating = Amount of Talent (Individual + Team Support) + Opportunity Tier I Jason Witten 17 (9+8) – I know that Miles Austin is catching everything in Dallas right now but there’s no way this pace continues. Think: Steve Smith, New York Giants. I still believe in Jason Witten and his track record. Brian […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The rumors of Michael Turner’s death have been greatly exaggerated. Last night he looked like he took Marshawn Lynch’s beast mode and Spike Jonzed it onto the big screen. He’s still what he is; a big, fast, straight ahead runner who will blow a crease up into a thousand pieces. Matt Ryan: I mentioned that […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Steve Slaton has had troubles fumbling all season. Wait, he hasn’t had any trouble fumbling; he has perfected the craft which led to him being benched early on in yesterday’s win over Buffalo. Instead of Kubiak giving Slaton a second chance and a vote of confidence, he gave him directions to the bench and a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Sunday’s finally here! To start things off we have our “Matchup Savers,” players that you can start today if you’re in a pinch due to the bye week, injuries, etc. I do all of this within the context of 12 team leagues that are competitive. Often there will be more talented/valuable players than these available- […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ahmad Bradshaw has been running on a split hoof and it could crack wide open at any moment. Do you think this means he’ll get more work? Me neither. I can’t say he’ll get less work, but Jacobs has been running better than earlier in the season and they’ll want to be careful with Bradshaw. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1 O’Clock Games Houston (21st) @ Buffalo (32nd) Steve Slaton is an automatic start regardless of matchup. The Bills defense isn’t as bad as you would assume. The offense makes their job a lot more difficult because they don’t stay on the field long enough. Earlier in the season I thought that Moats might usurp […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The name of the game this week is injury management. Three members of the top tier of wide receivers (Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, and Reggie Wayne) are all dinged up heading into Week 8. Chris Cooley is out for at least a month, possibly the entire season. Jermichael Finley won’t be back for at least […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?So this week’s strategery has a new format to completely disorient and befuddle you! The first change is that I have added DVOA, which is a system developed by Football Outsiders to measure the true value of a defense. I like it to help offset the fantasy football points allowed to QBs/RBs which is easily […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Mohamed Massaquoi: in addition to having the majority of all vowels in his name (except for that elusive “Y”) Massaquoi also gets the majority of targets. This past week he was targeted 9 times (4 more than Robiskie, the next closest receiver) and had two targets inside the five yard line. By now it’s clear […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Formula: Rating = Amount of Talent (Individual + Team Support) + Opportunity Tier I Larry Fitzgerald 20 (10+10) – I have been harping on this for a few weeks. I discussed the situation extensively in Game Day Companion on Sunday. Get Larry Fitzgerald. Period. Steven Jackson 18 (9+9) – Can somebody get this guy a […]
