It's been nine weeks since the season started, and three since my last posting of the top 25 fantasy football players in the game. As I mentioned last time, this list is based on a non-PPR league that Matt and I are in, which follows pretty standard scoring rules. At this point...

In a bind? This column is for those of you who, due to injuries or other circumstances, find yourselves with a gaping hole at QB, RB or WR and need a stop-gap player to plug in for one week.
Unlike our waiver-wire columns, I'm not advising you to pick these players up if you...

So it looks like the FFGeekBlog cover curse lives on as Matt Cassel and the Patriots receivers managed to fall flat on their face last weekend against the Chargers. I'm not sure what it is that causes every player I mention in the headline to go out of their way to play terribly...

In a bind? This column is for those of you who, due to injury or other circumstances, find yourselves with a gaping hole at QB, RB or WR. It's crunch time - let's head to the free agent pool and see what we can dig up! There's gotta be a few diamonds in the rough who might...
Studs and Duds - Week 6: Cassel ready to break out?

The Fantasy Football Geek Blog
| Comments
After taking a sabbatical during week four, I got back on track last week and didn't fare too badly with my predictions. Although again my title pick didn't pan out all that great (the Detroit Lions passing game did NOT rebound after the bye week!), and my pick of Clinton Portis...
Sell High, Buy Low: Trade ideas for Week 6 2008
October 08, 2008 by
The Fantasy Football Geek Blog
| Comments
Last week, I suggested selling high on Kurt Warner (who clearly saved his job for at least one more week by tearing up a dejected Bills defense) and Earnest Graham (who perfectly illustrated my point about his lack of carries being a problem by rushing for just 59 yards on ten carries...

Sell High, Buy Low: Trade ideas for Week 5 2008
October 02, 2008 by
The Fantasy Football Geek Blog

Last week I advised you to sell high on Reggie Bush, Chris Chambers and Ronnie Brown while you still could. The jury's out on Ronnie Brown since he was on a bye, but I'm going to pull an "I told you so" on Bush (38 total yards, 0 TD, and Deuce is back in action) and...
Studs and Duds - Week 5: Don't pass on the Lions
October 02, 2008 by

Well after a good set of predictions for week two, maybe I should have taken another week off before putting up my next Studs/Duds post. In week four I ended up with only a 9-6-7 (correct-incorrect-push) record as the non-existent Jacksonville rushing attack and Selvin Young did their...

What'd I tell you about Carson Palmer? He might have only thrown one TD pass, but 286 yards and a 98.9 QB rating against the Giants defense should tell you that the reports of his demise were exaggerated indeed. Just wait to see what he does this week with Cleveland in town. If...

Ronnie Brown's absolutely monstrous fantasy performance yesterday made very few people happy. If you own him, you probably didn't start him, and now you've got a fist- or head-shaped hole in the wall by your computer to deal with. If you're matched up against someone...

Have injuries or piss-poor performance left you decimated and desperate at a position? Don't feel bad, it happens to the best of us (thanks to injuries to to the WR1 and WR3 I drafted, my starting wideouts in my keeper league last week were Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meachem, and Ted...
