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.

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 4 Fantasy Football Picks

Last week went much better, as the players who are supposed to be stars actually played like it, even some that we didn't expect to. As predicted in this column, Kirk Cousins went bananas, as did Kareem Hunt and A.J. Green. James White... not so much (that's what I get for trying to trust a […]

We're about to reach the quarter-mark of the 2017 NFL season and the fantasy football picture still feels unsettled. For example: is Jordan Howard going to live up to his ADP? Uhh, maybe!

Fantasy Pop Quiz - Questions for Week 4 Lineups

A friend of mine shared a Facebook post this week that I found myself relating to very differently than he intended.

When he, y'know, actually became a parent, his responses were much more comical, […]

Week 4 Do Not Drop List - Don't Panic Yet

It would be incorrect to say that fantasy football rewards patience without also noting that fantasy football just as often rewards haste.

NFL Survivor League Picks (Week 4): Survivor Pool Targets and Avoids

Week 3 was the week of the dogs. Eight of nine underdogs in the early games covered the spread and six of those teams won outright (not including Vikes because it went off as pick 'em).

Fantasy Pop Quiz - NFL Week 3

There are two types of football articles; those based in analytics, and those based in opinion.
