Fantasy Week 8 Start’ems
Posted on 28 Oct 2011 by David Willow.
It's week 8 all you fantasy nuts out there. The halfway-ish point of the season, and hopefully your pushing onward to ladder half with a competitive team who won't be denied your “Manifest Destiny” as you continue towards the coasts of playoff glory. Let's look at week 8 start'ems. Quarterbacks Eli Manning – Manning had 4 missed TDs from last week to just Mario Manningham, so...

Fantasy Week 5 Start’ems
Posted on 7 Oct 2011 by David Willow.
It's every fantasy player's favorite time of the season, the week when BYE weeks begin. Okay, yes, a little sarcasm there. For most fantasy owners the start of BYE weeks mean the start of weeks of benching your better players for a back up you don't usually want to play or a having to get a stop gap player to fill the void. Let's look at week 5 Start'ems. Quaterbacks Matt Ryan – The Falc...

Fantasy Week 4 Waivers
Posted on 27 Sep 2011 by David Willow.
Another week in fantasy, another top tier player goes down. This week it is Kenny Britt. Hopefully this will slow down before we end up with M.A.S.H unit type teams in our fantasy line ups. Savvy fantasy owners plan for these types of events though, and so they scour the depths of the waivers in search of their week 4 gem. On that note, here's our week 4 waiver hot pick ups. Nate Washington ...

How Do You Get to 53?
Posted on 3 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Roster cut-down day is dreaded by NFL players – especially hopefuls wanting to make the roster. Imagine a job interview requiring you to go away for a month, live in a dormitory and participate in drills, classes and exercises then take tests to determine your value… or in a word… college. Ordinarily, there is an entire training camp to week out all of the extraneous players. A co...

Black Hole Bowl: Fourth Preseason Game (is for the Birds)
Posted on 1 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Even the most ardent football fan cannot disparage the relative inconsequence of the fourth and final preseason game. It is not as bad as it used to be when there were SIX preseason games (the Vet was very close to the Walt Whitman Bridge) but sports fans may be better served witnessing the Phillies notch another win (85 and counting) to go 40 games over .500 on September 1. The fourth NFL pre...

Another Thinking Thursday
Posted on 22 Dec 2010 by John Buffone.
Tis the season! No, not to be jolly, but to be victorious! This week is Championship week for most conventional leagues and it starts Thursday with the Panthers visiting the Steelers. Don’t ever be afraid to start someone who plays a Thursday night game but don’t be impulsive either. Here are Thursday’s dos and don’ts. Ben Roethlisberger- Although he’s tough as nails and is averaging ...

Brown vs Panthers Preview
Posted on 27 Nov 2010 by Fran Berkman.
The Browns absolutely must win this game. We have spoken all season about the improving Browns that we can see with our eyes, but eventually those improvements are going to have to start translating into wins. Enter the Panthers, who are unequivocally the worst team in the NFL this year. They'll be bringing their 1-9 record and their league worst 11.7 average points per game to Cleveland...

Posted on 24 Nov 2010 by Al Buzzelli.
It’s a short week, so let’s just get to the good stuff. Start’em in Week 12 Kevin Boss (vs. Jacksonville) No Steve Smith, no Hakeem Nicks and Boss – the Giants’ leading receiver per yards per reception (15.1) – takes on the NFL’s 28th worst pass defense in the Jaguars. Mario Manningham (vs. Jacksonville) The Giants’ No. 1 receiver for the next three weeks Danny Woodhead (@ Det...

As ‘Favre’ as it should go
Posted on 23 Nov 2010 by Al Buzzelli.
Should the soap opera in Minnesota continue with Brett Favre as lead actor? It’s irrational, self-absorbed and utterly upsetting, even for the fans sake, to keep Favre under center for the remainder of the season. In Sunday’s 31-3 laugher against rival Green Bay one bright spot was that wide receiver Sidney Rice was activated off the PUP (physically unable to perform) list and led the Vikin...

Week 11 Start’em or Sit’em
Posted on 18 Nov 2010 by Al Buzzelli.
20 Bold Predictions for the rest of the season: 1) David Garrard will finish as a top 10 fantasy quarterback. (Right now he’s 16th.) 2) Brett Favre will not finish out the season as the Vikings’ starting quarterback. 3) The San Diego Chargers will win their division. (I guess that’s not so bold.) 4) Matt Ryan won’t lose a game at home…even throu...

NFL Week 10, The Midseason: Some Like It Hot
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by Al Buzzelli.
Fantasy football, like the midseason period for NFL organizations can be a stressful time to make difficult choices. Whether to pickup Minnesota’s Sidney Rice, Tennessee’s Nate Washington or even Arizona’s LaRod Stevens-Howling can be equally as contemplative for NFL owners and coaches as they have to deal with their own dilemmas. Dallas’ Jerry Jones didn’t seem to have that tough a t...
