Adrian Peterson hurt. St. Louis Rams finally win a game. These are a few of the headlines that caught my eye when I returned yesterday from a weekend trip to Culebra, a small island off the coast of Puerto Rico (with one of the best beaches in the world!) The Vikings got shut out by...

This looks like a good week to start the likes of Ahman Green, Matt Schaub, and Andre Johnson, all of whom are relatively healthy coming out of the bye week. For once. Expect them to try to show what they’re capable of when healthy and beat up on a New Orleans defense that granted...

I'm a bit ashamed to realize that the last Shocker post I did was for week 11. At least it was a decent one? I correctly predicted big games for Ronald Curry (120 yards) and his QB Daunte Culpepper (a whopping 340 yards, only 1 TD though). The picks of Northcutt, Boller, and Grossman...

Here's a look at the guys who spent their time in week 13 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' badly enough to pretty much wreck their fantasy value.

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 miss...

Did you go and start Eli Manning last weekend based on my "stud" prediction? If so, you're probably not too happy with me?but who would have known he'd throw 4 INT against the league's worst pass defense?! I did make a few solid predictions though, as Favre and...

Well, it's week 13 and in all of my fantasy leagues, that means it's the last week of the regular season. If you're in a standard Yahoo! league, then odds are that you're in the same situation. I will try to provide some suggestions on players that could help your team...

All right, we've reached week 12 of the NFL season and to be honest with you, free agent pickups are most likely not going to help your team all that much at this point. However, I'll still give you a few players that made an impact (or the headlines) this past weekend and...

Obligatory explanatory introduction for the uninitiated: If you haven't seen my previous "shocker" posts, my definition of a fantasy shocker is a player who comes out of relatively nowhere, has a gigantic, multi-touchdown game, becomes the hottest waiver commodity the...

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...

Well, it's Week 11, so the bye weeks are over and in one of my leagues a few teams have already clinched the playoffs. There is a chance that your team could be out of the running by now, or that it has secured a playoff spot and you are looking to re-enforce your roster for the...

Ask the FFGeeks your fantasy football questions, and ye shall receive actual thoughtful advice (for the most part). In this edition of ATG: A Ryan Grant vs. Selvin Young waiver-wire conundrum, a reader wonders if Michael Bush of the Raiders has any fantasy value at this point, a running...

Another decent week for the FFGeekBlog "Studs and Duds" column, as I was able to prognosticate my way to a 16-8-6 record on the week. Marshawn Lynch, Clinton Portis, Lee Evans and the Seattle passing game all lived up to their billing, while Steve McNair was absolutely horrendous...

Looks like I'm back to my winning ways, going 15-5-8 with my studs and duds picks last week. I hit on my picks of LenDale White, Brandon Jacobs and Reggie Brown, but the Brian Griese and DeShaun Wynn picks didn't work out so well. Vinny Testeverde, Quinn Gray, and most of the...
