It Takes Two - A Guide to Trading in Dynasty vs. Redraft

It takes two to tango. We have all heard the saying before, and when it comes to making a trade in fantasy football, it’s no different. One attribute that has made me successful in playing fantasy sports is my ability to make trades. It never fails though, as soon as a trade is pushed through, […]

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 5 Fantasy Football Picks

Sometimes you just get that feeling... this week is going to be special.

Fantasy Pop Quiz - NFL Questions for Week 5

When I'm not phoning in my once-a-week column, I'm in digital marketing. For the most part it means I'm behind a computer working on one of dozens of things, or on a phone. But this week, I got away from the computer, and after a few years of work at a sports-related startup, I was back […]

Some anecdotes from my home league that illustrate some thought processes about a few of last week's bust picks: Two weeks ago, two teams in my league made a trade: Dez Bryant for Amari Cooper.

Deeper PPR Sleepers Heading Into Week 5

Deeper Sleepers for Standard Leagues (Week 5)

Waking up early the past two weeks for the London games has left me too drained from football to watch the Sunday night games all the way to the end--once the Seahawks opened the floodgates, I went to sleep. In theory, I like the idea of twelve-plus hours of football, but there's a reason I've […]
