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?Garrett Wilson
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?It was yet another bizarre and dramatic week in the NFL, one highlighted by lowlights: Jimmy Garoppolo (broken foot) is out for the season; Deshaun Watson finally returned and looked absolutely awful, while Lamar Jackson picked up a knee injury that destroyed Week 13 fantasy hopes and dreams. So let’s pick up the pieces to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This DFS Flash article goes position by position, giving you my favorite pay up option and my favorite pay down or dart throw option at each position to help you build out a winning DFS lineup. I use DraftKings pricing as a point of reference to seek out some values, and the goal is to help you “double up” in a 50/50 cash game with solid plays.
Please, blog, may I have some more?As you approach your Fantasy Football playoffs (which are most likely 1-2 weeks away), it’s crunch time. Now are the times when roster decisions can make or break your season. Don’t worry. I got your back. Here are my Week 13 Fantasy Football Starts and Sits: QB Start: Trevor Lawrence @ Lions We saw an […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?My readers of the past couple of decades will tell you this wouldn’t be an authentic Frascella column unless it opened this way: MIKE WHITE, BABY! LET’S GO!! I generally open our weekly foray into target distribution with the NFL “story of the week,” and well, how can it not be my guy Mikey White? […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I’m a big fan of the Motor City Kitties. Their 40+ year continuous tank job has set the stage for many a successful Vikings team. Throughout early 2022, the Lions have given fantasy managers so many gifts, and so many headaches. On Sunday, the Detroit Lions blew past the the 7-2 New York Giants, improving to 4-6 on the year and hunting down second place in the NFC North. How’d they do it? The way we all expected: 3 touchdowns from Jamaal Williams and Justin Jackson finishing as the leading rusher. Sigh. At least we’ve got Amon-Ra St. Brown cosplaying as Scrooge with his targets. Tis the season!
Please, blog, may I have some more?What are air yards, you say? The name kind of gives it away, doesn’t it? Air yards, irreverently discussed in this air yards primer, matter because we actually get some context of how much a quarterback WANTED to get their receiver the ball, not just how often the receiver could catch it. It’s a stat […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Every time we think we’ve seen it all in the NFL, another wild week roars in and blows us away. Joe Mixon scored FIVE touchdowns in the Bengals’ convincing victory over the Panthers? Tom Brady pulled off another miracle late-game comeback in a career loaded with them? And last but certainly not least… my Jets […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome back for another exciting episode of “Target Trends.” Another round of games means we get more data to analyze. More data usually means our focus becomes a little clearer. Before we get to this week’s picks, let’s put that theory to the test and grade my Week 7 trends. If you didn’t get the […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Welcome to my first article on the football side of the house. For those who haven’t seen my work, I spent the baseball season in a locked room deep underneath the Razzball building crunching numbers and making season-long and Sunday DFS player recommendations. Grey’s minions left the door ajar one day and I was able […]
