Just as in the NFL, the optimal way to build your fantasy team is through the draft. It is never too early to start researching the next batch of players that can help you rebuild your moribund franchise or help you maintain your standing as a top dog in your league. To that end, I […]

For most leagues, this is the final week of their fantasy football regular season. A few may be starting the playoffs already and others start in Week 14, but either way, this is officially the beginning of the end of the 2016 fantasy football season. It’s been a fun ride and hopefully our Start &

As the season winds down it’s time to start looking to the offseason for those teams who will not make it to the playoffs this season. Towards that end, I’ve highlighted five “sell high” candidates at the Running Back position. Note: I’d only “sell” these players if I was paid a premium for them otherwise

So, here we are. 12 weeks in the books. Most fantasy leagues have one more week of the regular season left, but many larger leagues will be starting the playoffs this week. Hopefully our waiver suggestions have been a help to you through the season and we were able to help you get into the

Well, well, well, here we are, with only 2 weeks remaining in most fantasy league’s regular season. It seems like most people I’ve talked to are still in it this late in the season which is nice. Seems like there is a lot of parity in the fantasy football universe this season and even teams

This season started out with a few high profile injuries but it seemed the injuries died down a bit as the season wore on, at least in terms of significant injuries to major players. Whelp, so much for that as Week 11 turned into a bloodbath. Multiple high profile players were lost for the season,

Playoff season is now only a few weeks away and it’s time to lock up one of those final spots or solidify your strangle hold on a top seed. If it appears you’ll be missing the playoffs, I have some thoughts for helping build your roster looking to next season as well. Contender vs. Pretender:
After the 2014 season, the Bears decided it was time to move on from their primary offensive weapon. Matt Forte, their second all-time leading rusher and second most receiving tds as a RB, was let go after 8 solid seasons in Chicago. Forte wasn’t too happy with the decision by management and showed his

Well, Week 11 is already upon us and the fantasy playoff picture is coming into focus in most leagues. Hopefully you’ve already locked a spot up or are still in the mix. If not, this is prime-time to become a spoiler, especially in your home leagues. Maybe I’m just a hater, but knocking one of

So here we are, a few weeks out from the start of the fantasy playoffs. With few, if any, significant injuries occurring this week now is a good time to take a look at your roster(s) and start focusing on what is going to help you in the playoffs (if you’re going to be in)

A little bit of a busy week for several of us so I’ll keep my usual rambling to a minimum this week and try to keep this as concise as possible. The crazy bye weeks are behind us, although we still have 4 teams on the bye this week and next. As always our usual

It’s a well-known trope that tight ends typically take several years to develop into productive members of the fantasy football community. There are outliers to this truism such as Gronk, Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates and Greg Olsen, who just happen to be the four greatest tight ends to play during my lifetime. They all broke

Welcome to Week 10! With the fantasy regular season drawing to a close in 3 weeks, it’s time to fine tune your roster for the playoffs. If you’ve been holding a roster spot for a guy you hope breaks out, especially in redraft leagues, it’s time to cut the line and set them free. Grab

In this semi-weekly column during September and October, due to my high school coaching commitments, I will be spitting out some quick thoughts on this year’s rookies. This will have a few high profile guys, some lesser known players, as well as a few IDP’s thrown in from time to time. WR Tyler Boyd, Cincinnati

The NFL season has basically reached its midway point with Week 8 now behind us. Most fantasy leagues only have another 5 weeks of regular season action to look forward to.
