Under-the-Radar Booms/Busts: Week 12

Can you believe there are only six weeks left in the NFL’s regular season?

Dynasty owners don’t play week to week, they play long term. However, dynasty owners still need to analyze different aspects of weekly matchups to determine the best time to sell or buy a player.

Bill Parcells used to say, Thanksgiving is the time when you find out which teams are for real, and which ones aren't. There is a giant cluster of teams in the hunt for the two spots in the AFC will card. It is conceivable that a 7-9 team AFC team can make the playoffs. On the other hand, […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Week 11 felt more on the “hit-or-miss” side, with several stars blowing up and several more falling flat, with few mediocre stat lines to help float our hopes and dreams.

Week 11 Rankings Analysis - Pierre Camus vs. Industry Consensus

In a week where so many picks went so wrong, it's good to know that many others were just as wrong. Sleepers Eli Manning, Bilal Powell, and Corey Davis were all big whiffs, while purported busts C.J.

It's nice to remind myself when I'm wrong (there's a good "haha he's married now" joke in there, but that's low hanging fruit that's even too low for me) especially as I weep over the less-than-smoldering ashes of my fantasy teams. In the pre-season, I went back through years of fantasy scoring, estimating how different […]

Well, we finally have some closure with the Ezekiel Elliott situation.
