Fantasy football championship week: sneaky sleepers
On the verge of Week 16 championship games, I spent a lot of time this week thinking about midrange and low-end players that can complement a starting lineup or even fill in if you are desperate.
Here is my 10-player starting lineup of potentially sneaky Week 16 plays: Tap your mouse here for more »
Pick which team will win the Super Bowl
The NFL playoffs are almost upon us, so which team is your early favorite to win the Super Bowl?
It is hard to root against the Green Bay Packers, but something about the defensively challenged New England Patriots intrigues me. While all of the playoff spots haven't been finalized, we have a pretty good idea of which teams should be there in January. For the sake of fairness, I have included every playoff-eligible team in the following poll. Tap your mouse here for more »
Thursday Thoughts: LaMichael James’ decision and a fantasy football sleeper
I probably should be writing about fantasy football right now, but the news of Oregon Ducks junior running back LaMichael James' plan to declare for the 2012 NFL Draft is on my brain. His decision is not surprising, but what might be is where this ultra-productive talent comes off the board in next April's extravaganza. Tap your mouse here for more »
Life after Greg Jennings in the Green Bay passing game
The Green Bay Packers' loss of Greg Jennings (knee) for what will likely be the rest of the regular season should send you to the waiver wire; look no further than some of his teammates.
Veteran Donald Driver should assume the role of the primary possession receiver, but that may not translate into a lot of production since there are so many short-range weapons in this offense. The old man of this group is a low-end flex play in point-per-reception leagues. Tap your mouse here for more »
The ball is in Peyton Manning’s court
Should the Indianapolis Colts try to trade the face of their franchise, none other than one Peyton Manning, this offseason?
I say yes, only if the price is right - AND the Colts have already secured the rights to selecting Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck by "earning" the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Tap your mouse here for more »
Tim Tebow just might be a real QB this week
Will Tim Tebow look like an actual quarterback this week and not just the rushing treat he has predominantly shown to be this season? I think so.
Our friends at FanDuel.com have set up a fun salary cap fantasy football challenge where you can take me on this weekend. It costs $2 to play and all you have to do is finish higher than me to land $5 in your bankroll. That is almost a lock with the way I have picked this year! Turn your minimal entry fee into $150 ... and more! There is $500 worth of prizes being dished out to the top teams, but it is limited to only 276 participants this week. Don't be left out in the cold when it comes to easy money before the holidays. Do you have what it takes? Try to beat me in Week 13!
