10 Lineup Busts and Avoids for Week 7

I'm trying a new approach this week with this column, which is that the introductory paragraphs and the recap of last week's games are going to be combined. But don't worry! That just means I'll be writing more about how good/bad last week's bust picks were! It makes more sense to blabber on about that […]

Don’t Call It a Comeback - Second Half Rebound Candidates

Regardless of expert consensus, every year there are a slew of top ranked players that underperform.  The question half way through the year is, who’s going to rebound, and who’s going to fall flat?

Heroes and Zeroes - Week 7 Fantasy Football Picks

Going Extreme with All Bench RB in Week 7

Zero RB is a widely discussed strategy that I happen to buy into.  I love the WR position and don’t enjoy the injury risk at RB, therefore avoiding the use of my high draft capital on the position. Today I’d like to discuss a strategy that compliments Zero RB very well but can also apply […]

Week 7 Dynasty Mailbag

Another week, another missing star for the rest of the 2017 season as all-world quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone and is slated to be out for the season. In redraft leagues this typically spells the end for any value that Rodgers would have for the season, however in dynasty formats, he certainly still […]

Fantasy Football Consistency Report for Week 7: Floors and Ceilings

Last week, I introduced a new way to look at consistency in fantasy football based on standard deviation.

This week, I would like to present a new way to quantify a […]

Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

Even in today’s NFL, quarterbacks get hit to the ground rather often -- and usually, they bounce right back up.
