Will Brian Robiskie prove to be a fantasy force?
By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
While studying up on Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Greg Little, I have started to take notice of Brian Robiskie. Little has been pretty good at times in training camp, but Robiskie is on the verge of having a breakout season. The Browns' new offense is wide receiver-friendly is starkly different than the ho-hum system [...]

Fantasy Football Paleontology: Unearthing Tarvarisaurus Rex
By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
Why all the hate for Tarvaris Jackson? We've seen the bad, and a little bit of good, but he is an enigma at this point. Are we just afraid of the unknown? I'm not saying you should draft T-Jax as your No. 1, but there is no reason why he can't back up a Tom [...]

As you know, this little thing called the NFL lockout has been lifted, and fantasy owners can't get enough of this stuff. Join me as I spin around the league to address interesting, and some not so, fantasy situations. Buffalo Bills I have to say, Tyler Thigpen is underrated (unless you're a Miami Dolphins fan. [...]

By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
Looking for a deep sleeper at wide receiver? So am I, and I may have found him. Second-year wide receiver Eric Decker is in a quality situation to be a profitable fantasy football gamble in all standard and deep leagues. His Denver Broncos teammate, Eddie Royal, proclaimed himself healthy after hip surgery, but wideout Demaryius [...]

By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
The Arizona Cardinals need to trade Beanie Wells ... pronto. The former Ohio State star could fetch a decent draft pick or, if all works out right, a player. Arizona needs to bolster its pass rush and offensive line, for starters. The quarterback situation is going to be addressed, and it appears as though Kevin [...]
Can Knowshon Moreno outrun the bust label in 2011?
By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
If you believe some of the damning reports of late about Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno, you may be quick to dismiss him on draft day. It is no secret Denver's new head coach, John Fox, prefers to pound the rock and favors a multi-back system. In fact, he said the team needs to [...]

Is Ryan Fitzpatrick a fantasy football stud in the making?
By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
Could the Buffalo Bills' Ryan Fitzpatrick be the breakout quarterback of 2011? He was on his way in 2010 but needs to tone down his mistakes and improve his accuracy to make the leap to the next level. The Bills' receiving corps because a hodgepodge of nobodies, and even with the emergence of Stevie Johnson, [...]
Just say no to TO!
By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
To me, this should go without saying, but every time I believe that I field a question asking why I didn't address said topic. Today's edition: Don't draft Terrell Owens, regardless of what his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, says. I hate to sound so cynical - well, actually I don't at all - but people always [...]
Daniel Thomas will be the cream of the rookie crop
By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
I can't get enough of Miami Dolphins rookie running back Daniel Thomas in my early drafts. Ricky Williams was an elite choice last time I cared about any fantasy football commodity in South Florida. At 6-foot, 230 pounds, the likely new starter in Miami is a load to bring down. Additionally, his hands are well [...]

I just can’t help myself
By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
I know you are tired of hearing about him, and I have a nearly exhausted my tolerance for writing about him, but Brett Favre may not be as done as people think. The 41-year-old "retired" legend says his arm feels as good as ever, but he doesn't want to keep putting his body through the [...]
Spicing up your football league’s scoring format
By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
One KFFL viewer recently asked a question that I felt would be great to cover, and I have even have some personal experience with the topic. The gentleman was looking for help trying to convince the fellow owners in his league to add a wrinkle to their scoring system. He wanted to see players awarded [...]

By Cory J. Bonini | Categories: Misanthropic Musings
Recently released from prison, embattled wideout Plaxico Burress will be looking for a new home in the NFL. Once capable of changing the complexion of a game, Burress will need time to acclimate himself to game speed, learn a new system, build chemistry with his teammates, and mentally adjust to life out of prison in [...]
