At exactly the moment when fantasy managers are souring on the running back position – why take someone from the most injury-prone position when we get guaranteed production from WRs like Justin Jefferson and Davante Adams? – this happens to be an extremely deep RB crop this season. We have strong plays at the top […]

Kyle Pitts was to be the next great tight end. Functionally a wide receiver with a tight end designation, he was always going to step up from his TE5 finish in 2021, right? Well most of us thought so! He was a consensus 3rd round pick, which looked like amazing value. It wasn’t. While Travis […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I gotta tell ya – last week was a grind with those 2023 free agent wide receivers. What can I say? It just wasn’t pretty. After Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady, Saquon Barkley, and Josh Jacobs got us off to a strong start in free agency at the quarterback and running back positions respectively, we were […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Here we are…Fantasy Football Championship Week. If you’re playing for all the marbles, congratulations. I’m still alive in two of my three leagues, so I can’t wait for the games to get started. The semifinals were a bear for my teams, falling behind on Thursday night in one league and the same during the early […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This final installment of the waiver wire column will be shorter than previous versions, like the Week 16 article. The main reason is that few teams are remaining…only two for each league that wraps up with the Week 17 championship matchup. A quick look back at our Week 16 recommendations: we hit with Brock Purdy […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It was 16-3. Zach Wilson (9-for-18, 92 yards, 1 INT) looked on at the field at MetLife Stadium, having accounted for 93 yards of total offense and one turnover through nearly three quarters of play. Enter Chris Streveler, certified gladiator and champion of men. Recently activated off the practice squad, the former Winnipeg Blue Bombers star instantly reinvigorated the Jets offense, producing 144 total yards — 51 more than Wilson — in just one quarter of play while not turning over the football. Newly-minted as my hero, Streveler showed heart and grit, and most importantly, that he was willing to put his body on the line and do anything for the players next to him. That’s not something we have seen Wilson do. Wilson doesn’t yet understand how to be a leader and more importantly, can’t comprehend how to read a defense. He is not a starting NFL quarterback, and never will be. Say all you want about arm strength and projectability, but it only goes so far. I have a bottle of ketchup in my fridge that has the size, shape and squirt to be an elite mustard, but what’s inside is simply never going to change. Last night should be a lesson Streveler’nd for us all. Unfortaunely, I don’t think it will be for Wilson. Anyway, here’s what else I saw in another riveting edition of Thursday Night Football.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The penultimate edition of the Target Trends article is here. If you’re still alive in the final four of your fantasy playoffs, congratulations. Don’t start coasting yet. The games get more competitive as you go, and as we all know, anything can happen. To steal a phrase from poker, all you need is a chip […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This week’s article is going to be an abbreviated one. Not because I lost Jonathan Taylor with my team on a first-round bye but because there is not much more we have to discuss. If you have been following this column, you should have your handcuffs in place and your two playoff defenses set. You […]

One wrong push of a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Can you believe the fantasy football regular season is over? As it tends to happen every year, the NFL season takes so long to get started, but once it does, it seems to go by at a blazing pace. Despite the speed, the regular fantasy season is a grind. For those reading this, you’re likely […]
