Nothing’s more devastating in fantasy football than watching your stud player sit out a late-season game because his coach chose to rest him up for the playoffs. It’s as if they have no idea there are fantasy championships on the line, or that - unimaginable as it seems...

Studs and Duds: Week 16

The Fantasy Football Geek Blog

Wow…I must say that last weekend did not exactly go according to plan. I promised everyone that my picks would be near perfect, but I guess I pulled an Anthony Smith in that regard, posting my worst record of the season. However, I can't be completely to blame, as bad weather...
The Wire: Week 16
December 19, 2007 by
The Fantasy Football Geek Blog

I can’t speak for everyone else out there, but the poor play of numerous fantasy stars (i.e. Antonio Gates) combined with the unexpected play of a few others (Anthony Gonzalez, Aaron Stecker, etc) has knocked me out of both of my semi-final games this past weekend. The best I...

If you’re not interested in my personal fantasy football situation, skip this post. Brandon’s got some info you can actually use in his waiver wire report for week 16. I find it easiest to get a handle on a fantasy situation I’m in when I explain it to someone else...
Sunday Wrap-up: Miami finally wins…

…and the big question is, do the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers celebrate? Or do they sink further into depression as the only winless team in NFL history? In other news, the Patriots won again (although not in the blow-out fashion that all the analysts expected) to move to 14-0...
Studs and Duds: Week 14

Going into week 14 of the NFL season, I’m assuming that this is the first round of the playoffs for most managers out there. Hopefully some of my suggestions last week were able to give you that final push to secure a playoff spot (and hopefully they didn’t cause you to...
Sunday Wrap-up: B. Marshall breaks out!

On a day when the Patriots crushed the Steelers to move to 13-0 (can we take anything Anthony Smith says seriously now?), one of my proudest (and luckiest) moments was seeing my pre-season sleeper pick, Brandon Marshall, step up and go huge in the first round of my fantasy playoffs...

…that make you tear your hair out. I’m in a second-round playoff matchup, and I’ve been dwelling over my WR3 spot for the last half an hour. OK… probably more like an hour. Reading everything I can find about the two guys I’m thinking about filling it...
Rumblin', Bumblin', Stumblin' - Fantasy Football Player Value Adjustments - Week 12

The Fantasy Football Geek Blog

Here’s a look at the guys who spent their time in week 11 doing one of three things: rumblin’ up the player value charts with big performances, bumblin’ through a rough week and making their owners nervous, or stumblin’ so badly that their fantasy value took...
Studs and Turkeys: Week 12

The Fantasy Football Geek Blog

Week 11 is in the books, and my projections ended up being fairly solid. Chester Taylor, Matt Schaub to Andre Johnson, and the Arizona passing game led the way for my stud picks. Besides Thomas Jones, the rest of the Jets offense was bad, as projected, so that went in my favor. However...

Marc Bulger has been ruled out for the Ram’s week 13 game against Atlanta. Torry Holt becomes no better than a mid-range WR2, and Isaac Bruce barely even merits consideration at WR3, if you’re desperate.Share This

Did you survive the first round of the playoffs? Are you still in contention for some consolation prize? Before I get into this weekend’s picks, let’s take a look back at how last week went. As hard as a few players tried, I still ended up with a pretty solid record. The...

Can anyone explain to me why JaMarcus Russell is not the starting quarterback for the Oakland Raiders right now?
The Raiders are 2-7, with their final games @ MIN, @ KC, DEN, @ GB, IND, @ JAX, SDG. The chance of the team winning any of those games except the Minnesota one (since...

Even though there were some sabotage attempts on the Studs/Duds predictions last week, I was able to escape the week with a better success than failure rate again. While expected to excel, Priest Holmes and Antonio Gates fell flat on their faces, while Maurice Jones-Drew, Ryan Grant...
Three Potential Shockers for Week 15
December 13, 2007 by
The Fantasy Football Geek Blog

After watching David Patten go off and validate my decision to declare him a potential shocker for week 14, I'm going with the theory that three really is a lucky number. Or maybe I'm just lazy and only feel like giving you three shocker picks instead of five, since a good...

Andrew asks: I have an opportunity to pick up 2 WR that I think might be good FA acquisitions, but like any good patient I want a second opinion. I am looking at Reggie Brown of PHI @ MIA or I could pick up Drew Bennett of STL @ SF…I play 3 WR in a 12 team league and I already...
