Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Jets sighting, and goodness gracious, was it something to witness on Sunday. Just like my Packers will do this weekend, with or without A-A-Ron, the Jets beat up the Bears in the rain. Our waiver recommendations for Week 12 will be littered with Jets players, and you can do […]

Everybody having leftovers of that Thanksgiving turphucken? You know, that duck stuffed inside a chicken stuffed inside a pheasant stuffed inside a turkey? Is it even possible to cook something like that without introducing massive listeria problems? How about I just write the inevitable outcome of Thanksgiving football: Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson are gonna run real hard next week because they’ve got food poisoning and need to get off the field. But for the rest of us who ate our feasts the way Yahweh intended — in the form of a takeout burrito bowl and gas station beer — we’re ready to keep chugging and plugging in players on our rosters.Â
Oh, speaking of plugging and chugging [dramatic pause for effect], Coolwhip and I are vying to make the cutline in the RazzBowl. I had this really DFS-brain idea that I would start Damien Harris to make myself different from the field. And I’m sure gonna look different after those 16-yards Harris ripped off before leaving the game on crutches and being so hurt that he couldn’t wear his pants. Me too after Thanksgiving, Damien, me too. Let me know if you’re rooting for me or Coolwhip down in the comments.Â
And a quick “change of programming” note — I’ll be doing the weekly injury report as my only article each week to finish out the season. “The season” is also somewhat flexible — sometime in the next month, let’s say. You’re always free to revisit my articles and ask questions in the comments. Between my various Razzball duties, I’ve skipped only 3 deadlines across 3 sports in the past 3 years (333…I’m half-bestial!), and I need some time to take a break. Please support any of the writers who step in during my winter hibernation and feed them apples and fish heads to show your support.Â

I am not the type to toot my own horn, but beep beep…my Week 11 Waiver Wire Add of the Week, Christian Watson significantly exceeded even this Packers fans’ expectations. The Watson recommendation certainly makes up for the Week 10 recommendation of Mecole Hardman who has not suited up since I lauded his accomplishments. Our […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?As our esteemed experts in Final Fantasy have pointed out, the Nightmare is a demonic colt that will flatten you with cloven hooves, a fiery mane, and gnashing teeth scarred from Halloween candy. A nightmare is also trying to figure out what to do with your fantasy football team now that Jonathan Taylor is out — AGAIN. Aw, Hufflepuff. The fantasy football season is halfway done, and you can barely call your usage of your top RB “fun-sized.”Â
Let’ s jump into the fray and see if there’s anything we can do to solve your injury and roster woes for the upcoming week!Â

If you did not buy your bus ticket a couple of weeks ago when I implored you to do so, then it may be too late, or the ticket price may have gone up exponentially. After six plus weeks of PUP, my Week 8 Waiver Wire Add of the Week, Gus Edwards (BAL, 43% rostered) […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What do you call it when a bunch of teams are on BYE, Christian McCaffrey is traded, and J.K. Dobbins is gonna miss half the year? I dunno. You’re gonna have to speak louder because the sounds of my sobbing are drowning you out.Â
Much like our esteemed Thursday Night Football writer Hobbs once wrote, “Fantasy football is nasty, brutish, and short.” Civilization is breaking down at the seams and we’re all in our natural state, foraging for running backs wherever we can find them.
Let’s jump in and see if we can avoid any pitfalls this week. Also, because I’m super nice, I’m going to toss in some quick take analysis on the more significant roster moves. Â

It is that time already. Time for the first round of bye weeks. We will only see 14 games this week with Tennessee, Houston, Detroit and Las Vegas all sitting this one out. So, how do those four teams resting affect your roster? Imagine having lost Eli Mitchell or Javonte Williams only to have Derrick […]

How does the squad look this morning? Are you sitting atop your league at 3-0 with a big smile? Are you lingering in the middle of the pack at 2-1 or 1-2? Or are you languishing at the bottom of the standings at 0-3? No matter the scenario, stay the course and do not panic. […]

In this article, we are going to look at how players perform the season after a major injury. The injuries in this study include ACLs, Achilles, Ankle Fractures, and Lisfranc injuries. Â For this study, we reviewed positional ADP vs. positional PPG finish to see if players returned value the year after a major injury. Furthermore, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Running backs ranked 40 thru 80 is money time for the fantasy managers looking to employ the RB Zero, RB Hero, or Wide Net approach to the position. If you can hit on a player or two from this group, they can improve your fantasy fortunes. Knowledge is the key. Not all third-string running backs are created equal. Good fantasy managers will know which backups are high-upside youngsters and which backups are aging veterans in the din of their NFL career. I recommend readers pay less attention to the rank of the players in this group, and more to their story, as the rankings from this group can be capricious. Pick out a dozen or so that you like, and make a point to get some of them.

Well, my precious goblins and ghouls, the football season is finally upon us. And naturally, with that, I have the grave responsibility to inform you fine specimens of the injuries that can and will impact your Week 1 fantasy rosters.Â
Such is life.Â
Let’s jump in and see who might be available on your waiver or can receive a bump in production from the gaps left by these poor, hurt souls.Â
Shall we?Â
The first injury to look at is… *checks notes* Oh the entire Ravens backfield. That’s not good! In just a few days the Ravens have lost their breakout star J.K. Dobbins, Justice Hill, and the most recently Gus Edwards to terrible season-ending injuries. In response, the team has signed Latavius Murray along with Le’Veon Bell and Devonta Freeman to their practice squad presumably to try to keep Lamar from having to rush approximately 10,000,000 yards per game. As of now, it looks like the Ravens are going to start the last running back left standing before the leg injury bloodbath, Ty’Son Williams, who might just have an opportunity against an uncertain Raiders pass rush under new defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and a reshaped defense. Look for Latavius Murray and Ty’Son Williams as a possible pick-up in leagues you might have had one of the injured fellows in and if you are feeling very adventurous maybe take a look at Le’Veon Bell or Devonta Freeman for a possible bounce-back campaign. I’m still not betting on that though, sorry Blair.Â
Please, blog, may I have some more?When I was younger, I was into brand-name frivolity and what amounted to living my life for other people. I was fortunate to have come from a middle-class family and been able to have well-paying jobs. While I did enjoy some five-finger discounts from time to time, most of the time, I’d spend casually since I had the resources. After I matured and met my wife…Or was it the other way around? Anyways, at some point, I did both and have become more frugal and price-conscious over the years. Having two kids accelerates the process for sure. My wife is always looking for deals and is really good from that perspective. Is it because she grew up poor or is it in her Chinese blood? Probably both but it’s rubbed off on me, especially on the fantasy streets. I love getting production at a discount and two players who stood out to me when scrolling through the NFFC ADP data were Jakobi Meyers and Gus Edwards. Let’s break it down.
