Happy Monday Hoop Heads! We have a great week ahead of us: the New Year around the corner, college bowl season in full swing, and of course, another great week of basketball. We switched things up this week, as I will be doing the daily article today. Ricky will be writing tomorrow’s piece. So for those of you who are used to Ricky, I hope I can fill that void enough until tomorrow. As for

Happy Friday Hoop Heads! I hope that everyone had a great holiday season. The New Year is right around the corner, but we are in full swing for daily play. As fellow FakeRoundball writer Ricky said yesterday, lets keep riding that wave of good vibes and get straight into fantasy advice.  Nine games are on the schedule tonight, so allons-y with the picks:   Start ‘Em Anthony Davis vs Nuggets – I haven’t been able

Now that the holidays are over, there are no gimmicks to tonight’s notes. We’re all feeling well and good after relaxing with family yesterday so let’s not kill the buzz by losing money tonight. Ride out the happy streak by following my instructions tonight and let the joy seep into the weekend. No more talk; just fantasy advice. Here we go. So without further ado, here are the guys I will have in my lineup

Five games on the NBA slate for Xmas day. Largest point spread is eight points.  Expect another competitive day of hoops. Having such close point spreads is usually music to fantasy owners ears. You want to know that your starters play all four quarters and give you 35 plus minutes a game. 35 plus minutes a game for your starters usually mean another successful night in the world of fantasy basketball. The fantasy preacher is

Merry Christmas Eve Eve. With 11 games on the slate tonight, there will be plenty of fantasy presents to choose from to provide yourself. Don’t worry about re-gifting someone like Francisco Garcia if you used him the other night because a certain someone won’t be playing again tonight (I discuss later in the article). Also, don’t be afraid to get yourself something nice even if it is a little expensive. Yes, there are plenty of

As we said in our AFC North preview, if you’re in your league’s championship game, good luck, and happy holidays!   MINNESTOA VIKINGS at Cincinnati Bengals   Matt Cassell had a huge game last week against the Bears, with 3 total scores and over 400 total yards. He should come back to earth this week, and can’t even be considered a QB2 against a Bengals defense giving up the 8th fewest points to opposing fantasy QBs.

Two simple words for you if you’ve made it this far into your fantasy season – GOOD LUCK!   Minnesota Vikings at CINCINNATI BENGALS   In the two games after his clunker against the Chargers, Andy Dalton threw for over 500 yards, 5 TDs and 0 INTs. Last week against the Eagles the Vikings defense gave up over 400 yards passing. Dalton is a legitimate top-10 option this week. This also bodes well for A.J.

Congratulations guys, you’re made it to the finals! This week I’ll try and go into a little more detail into my recommendations and the thought processes behind them. Go get that championship! Denver Broncos @ Houston Texans (Sunday 1.00pm ET) Lets be clear, this is a matchup between one of the best teams in the NFL and one of the worst. The Texans defence isn’t awful, but the Broncos have made even good defences crumble.

Congratulations guys, you’re made it to the finals! This week I’ll try and go into a little more detail into my recommendations and the thought processes behind them. Go get that championship!   Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks (Sunday 4.05pm ET) The weather could be a factor in this one, and at present (Saturday morning) there is a 60% chance of rain. If this game sees a lot of rain it is going to seriously

Nine exciting games on NBA slate tonight. Only one of the nine games have a double digit spread. Expect another night of close competitive games. In the world of fantasy basketball, you want close games so your key players don’t sit during blowouts. So when I see only one double digit spread, I know my key players will be playing quality minutes tonight. Remember what the fantasy preacher has been preaching? To win in daily

Perfection: the condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects. That definition, courtesy of Google, personifies Thursday night lineups. With so little margin for error, it pays to take the extra steps of research and rotation studying. Luckily for you, I do the work for you. The four teams playing tonight are an interesting mix: Bulls, Thunder, Spurs and Warriors. Two defensive-minded, slower-paced teams and two offensive

“You see, in this world there’s two types of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.” Oddly enough, this immortal quote from Clint Eastwood, a.k.a “Blondie”, in “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” also applies to fantasy football. You see, in our fake little world there’s two types of people: those that play IDP and those who don’t. If you find yourself getting all warm and tingly inside

Since we didn’t have an article yesterday, let me be the first to welcome you Hoop Heads to another week of fantasy basketball. The year may be starting to wind down, but we are just a quarter of the way through the basketball season. Tonight, we have five games on the schedule and all teams are form the Western Conference except for two. The Western Conference has been brutal this year, while the Eastern Conference

CHICAGO BEARS at Cleveland Browns   Jay Cutler provides an interesting dilemma for owners this week. He was impressive early on in the season, but not to the extent that Josh McCown has been. Then there’s the memory of him returning against the Cowboys, only to aggravate his injury and miss a further 4 games. If he plays a full game, he should have around 275 yards and 2 scores. Brandon Marshall should be the main beneficiary of

Chicago Bears at CLEVELAND BROWNS   Finally, Josh Gordon  has some company as a Browns player worth considering for fantasy purposes! Obviously, you’ll be starting Gordon given his superhuman performance and production this season. His current pace extrapolated over a full 16 game season would have him at 2,036 yards and 11 TDs. Gordon is our #2 ranked WR this week, and he isn’t far behind Calvin in those rankings. Jordan Cameron finally showed some signs

Arizona Cardinals @ Tennessee Titans (Sunday 4.25pm ET) Carson Palmer will lead the Cardinals out in a really tough game this week as they bid to maintain a playoff run. Palmer was hurt last week and is officially Questionable but he is expected to start. Palmer had a decent game last week but the matchup was very favourable. Those who have used Palmer to lead them to the fantasy playoffs should be warned. I think

We’re one game away from a shot at the title… Stay calm and don’t get too cute with your lineups. I’ll see you next week… Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders (Sunday 4.05pm ET)   Alex Smith threw 2 TDs to bump up his fantasy score to around the 14 mark, but don’t be too concerned as this game was over before halftime and Smith wasn’t required to throw the ball much in the second

Today is your lucky day…or maybe unlucky depending on how you look at it. Friday the 13th is here, and ironically enough we have thirteen games on the schedule for tonight. It has been a crazy week in basketball, and tonight sure doesn’t seem to disappoint. Seven games tonight have over/unders above 200 points and then there are two games with the line below 180 points.  Tonight should be such a great mix of basketball

I think this would be a week to start any Atlanta Falcons player that you have…..or at least the relevant ones. Matt Ryan plays great at home, which will only benefit the rest of his team. Super Geno (haha) heads into Carolina to take on Super Cam and the mad Panthers after their crushing loss at the hands of the Saints last week. Nice matchup of the bay teams, as the 49ers head into Tampa

So if you managed to make it this far, well done! I hope you have a few of the studs in this division as they can pay some solid dividends this week. Will we see a repeat of the Andre Johnson / TY Hilton huge games in Indy this week? Houston at Indianapolis Last time these two met, both QBs had awesome games. Things have changed recently – I would not start Case Keenum because

You know the feeling. You go out to an expensive dinner for a special occasion with your significant other and/or family. You sit down and gaze at the menu and you begin eyeing the steak. You’re just in the mood for it, and you are starving, so you assume the thick meatiness of a medium prepared filet mignon will be more than enough. Twenty minutes later, you spot your waiter heading towards you. You see

Nine games on the NBA slate tonight.  Only two of the nine games have spreads above ten points. Expect another night of close, exciting games.  The Dallas/Golden State game should be a very high scoring tilt based on their total of 210 points. I have been preaching for weeks now, the key to daily leagues is finding great value players to stack around your stud players. Wednesday nights have been my favorite and most successful
