5 Reasons I Still Love Demaryius Thomas For 2016 Fantasy Football Leagues
The people have spoken. Unfortunately what they’ve said is something I strongly disagree with. Currently, the ADP of Demaryius Thomas in a 12 team PPR league is 29th overall and WR17 on Fantasy Football Calculator. This is something I truly don't understand. Thomas had some drop issues and bad quarterbacking last year and it led to […]
Peyton Manning Deserves to Walk Away a Champion
The high snap soared over his head and danced into the end zone. The first play of Super Bowl 48 resulted in a safety for the Seattle Seahawks, a foreshadowing of what was to come for Peyton Manning's Denver Broncos. In what was hyped to be the league's number one offense against the number one defense, the Broncos fell […]
Mark Sanchez Traded To Broncos
The Broncos have acquired "The Sanchize" from the Eagles for a conditional draft pick. Denver's QB situation is very muddled at the moment with the retirement of Peyton Manning, and with Brock Osweiler being signed by Houston. The Broncos understand that they don't need a star QB with their elite defense, but they are frankly […]

Week 15 NFL Recap: Injuries, Breakout Performers & Game by Game Analysis
Strangely, for as many unfortunately timed injuries as there were in week 15, most of them appear to be straight forward enough that they’re best served holding off on discussing until we get into the individual games. I will say, however, that outside of a few exceptions, most of the replacement level players won’t be […]
Top 3 Upset Picks for Week 16 of the NFL Season
Last week my picks were 0-3 straight up, but 2-1 against the spread. I really thought it would be a crazy upset week. It had that feel. Maybe this week sees a nutty upset. Recap of Picks The Giants had no business even being on the same field with the Panthers for three quarters […]
Top Three Upset Picks for Week 15 of the NFL Season
Last week I went 3-for-3 in my picks, including picking the Raiders and Broncos as the game to avoid. I am not sure how many survivor pools are still going on, but I doubt there would be many left due to the insane amount of rash upsets there have been this season. Therefore, the last […]

December is here and we're approaching that home stretch of football where we have plenty of data under our belts to work with.

Brock Osweiler Has Earned the Starting Job
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% Fleaflicker ANALYSIS: Brock Osweiler's win over the Patriots will likely keep him entrenched as the starter for the rest of the year.

Week 12 Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds: Brent Celek, Vernon Davis and Zach Miller
There are no more byes to worry about, boys and girls. All healthy tight ends will be on the field this week and ready to rack up yards and touchdowns for their fantasy owners. So combing your league’s waiver wire for a decent tight end is probably not as necessary as it has been over […]
Week 12 QB Waiver Wire Streamers: Jameis Winston, Brock Osweiler, Johnny Manziel
In Week 11, all three of my waiver wire streamers from last week's column reached double digits, but none of them really went off. I felt like Ryan Fitzpatrick really didn’t play well at all but he saved his day with a rushing score. On the opposite end, Alex Smith had a great game with […]

The Fall of a Legend: Peyton Manning
The adage goes that Father Time is undefeated, and on Sunday he claimed another victim. Peyton Manning was simply terrible against the Kansas City Chiefs.
