Everybody who plays fantasy football would love to be that person who drafts a come out of nowhere late rounder that surprises everyone. Not only could it help propel you to a winning season, but it also gives the impression you’re a brainiac, even if everyone knows you’re not! However intriguing the possibility, cashing in on a late round flyer is as elusive as buying that winning lottery ticket you dream about. Fortunately, there are

  courtesy of Lastangryfan.com Do you remember where you were during this game last year? I do. I was watching at a bar in Pismo Beach CA. I had DT on a few of my teams, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire second half. I witnessed Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos orchestrate one of the greatest comebacks I have personally seen live on television. I also saw Philip Rivers

In my last article I discussed a few reasons why you should dip your toes into the world of IDP fantasy football, because you’re really missing out! Since then I’ve canvassed opinion from several sources on IDP uneasiness and I’ll share the main concerns they had with you and how they may be overcome.

Welcome to another edition of Fantasy Football Sleepers. This week, my quarterback sleeper is more of a deep sleeper who is not a starting quarterback, but could potentially be taking over as the season progresses. This weeks tight end feature is a guy who I would have never thought I’d be writing about today. My wide-receiver sleeper will make Calvin Johnson happy and the running back sleeper is really short.   Well, without further ado,

If you’ve been following along with this series, you may have noticed a trend; I’m ordering them in concordance with how I feel the division will play out in the upcoming year. But for those of you not scoring at home, that means I think Arizona will indeed finish dead last in the mighty NFC West. I’m sorry I’m not sorry Cardinal fans (*cough, cough* @ReganFP). While I have no doubt the modest upgrades will

We will have our predictions posted soon, but in the meantime, please listen to our Podcast!

Marques Colston’s nickname is The Quiet Storm, and why is that you might ask? Well have you ever heard him make comments to the media? Have you heard him do a press conference? Have you ever heard the guy speak?! I’m a huge Saints fan and I can honestly say I have only heard him speak once, and that was because I went looking to see him speak in a press conference that I found

For most, mid June is a bit early to be thinking about their fantasy football drafts.  But for others, their drafts and the NFL season can’t start soon enough! The experienced player keeps tuned in year round, constantly seeking information that will help them in the upcoming season. Late in August when most training camps are ending, the inexperienced will eagerly run down and purchase their favorite fantasy football publication set upon, what they are

… Well you should! Of all the elements of fantasy football that exist today, the most underplayed and under appreciated leagues are those that feature Individual Defensive Players (IDPs), so in this article I’ll try to give the uninitiated and uneasy all the reasons they need to broaden their fantasy horizons and deepen their football knowledge in the process.    Say Watt? JJ Watt is the undoubted IDP stud of 2013. photo from www.thehotroute.com

From Richard Janvrin(@RichardJanvrin); This guy is on my “Fantasy Man-crush List”.  Traded to the Jets during the 2013 NFL Draft, the Chris Ivory fantasy value sky rocketed instantaneously.   Known for his violent style of running, Chris Ivory is built to be an every down back, in my opinion.  His only problem in recent years have been injuries, mainly knee, hamstring and foot problems.  Last season he missed one game (Week 15) due to a hamstring injury.  Buried

Below are our composite Top 50 Tight Ends Rankings (re-draft, standard scoring). Also, be sure to listen to our Top 50 Tight Ends Podcast!

Tight Ends are placed in three separate rankings, Gronk, Graham, and everyone else.  Who is #1? Which site has Gronk first? Which site has Graham first? If you are lucky enough to get one of those two guys you have no issues at the tight end spot.  But if you don’t land one all is not lost.  Those two are going in the late 1st to early 2nd rounds.*  If you are taking them that early

When I was in 7th grade I went to St. Louis. I rode to the top of the Gateway Arch. It was awesome. Mark Mcgwire  hit a ton of home runs, captivated a nation along with Sammy Sosa, and should be in the Hall of Fame. I couldn’t care less if he did steroids or not. “Greatest Show on Turf” These 3 things combined surmise my thought’s/feelings of the city refered to as “The Gateway to

Below are our composite Top 50 Wide Receiver Rankings (re-draft, standard scoring). Also, be sure to listen to our Top 50 Wide Receivers Podcast!

Everyone in the Fantasy Football community has their idea of a sleeper. This could mean they are loaded with potential, finally have a starting gig, use extrapolated statistics to predict “what could have been”, or simply a guy feeling. My idea of a sleeper is a bit of all of those. From here on until I run out, I’m going to write a weekly piece in regards to one sleeper to keep on your watch

From Richard Janvrin(@RichardJanvrin); According to reports, San Francisco 49ers WR Michael Crabtree has torn his Achilles tendon during OTA’s a few weeks ago. He has had surgery and is expected to miss 6 months.  This is a huge blow to not only the 49ers, but to Fantasy nerds, too. This affects Crabtree’s fantasy prospects as well as Colin Kaepernick, Anquan Boldin and Mr. AJ Jenkins. Who the heck is AJ Jenkins?

Wide receiver is the deepest group in fantasy football.  While the top five in standard scoring last year (Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Dez Bryant, A.J. Green and Demaryius Thomas) were a dominant group, there was less than 85 total point difference between the #6 scoring WR (Vincent Jackson) and the #40 scoring WR (Percy Harvin).  Per game that is a decent sized gap, but there is value to be had at other positions earlier in the

In fantasy football, a players’ ability will only take them so far. Take Michael Bush, who had a superb year for Oakland in 2011 but took the option of sitting behind Matt Forte in Chicago. Good player, but not a great choice in fantasy. Another indicator may be the players situation, is this guy a WR1 for his team? Is he an every-down linebacker? Is he the unquestionable #1 RB? Again, this will only get
