Week 8 wasn't too bad for us here. We’ll get the bad out of the way first as we dropped a full unit on the Miami Dolphins when they blew a nine-point fourth-quarter lead and lost on a last-second field goal to the Arizona Cardinals. It looks like Arizona is a little better than most […]

The fantasy football season keeps marching forward. When I started preparing to write this column for Week 8, I was hoping we would finally have a week where there were relatively few injuries to report. Oh, how naive I was. We lost several starting quarterbacks to injury and saw a potentially serious knee injury to […]

Well, unfortunately, we failed to keep our momentum rolling and had a 0-2 record last week. The Vikings couldn't close out the Lions late and lost on a last-second field goal. We also had a tough loss with Green Bay winning but missing a cover by half a point. That’s the second time we’ve lost […]

Don’t look now, but we’re currently in the middle of October. Where has the time gone? We’re just about at the halfway point of the regular season for most fantasy leagues, so managers are running out of time to make their moves. Week 6 was a tough one for us here. We listed Daniel Jones, […]

We finally had our first 2-0 week of the season in Week 6. The Lions did their part against the fraudulent Cowboys, and the Packers took care of business at home against the Cardinals. Feels good to be back in the win column. Week 7 offers us another opportunity to keep the good vibes going. […]

Another weekend of fantasy football is over, and it was another one filled with injuries.

The NFL season marches forward, and another week of football is upon us. We have done pretty well correctly identifying boom/bust plays so far. Week 5, however, was not kind to us.
