2017: Full Disclosure

By |2020-10-21T20:50:41-04:00December 31st, 2017|archive|

With all the hard work and research that goes into the fantasy season, every analyst usually feels good about their season projections/rankings. Obviously we can’t predict the future (although we would like to think we could), and sometimes things don’t work out the way we thought they would. Sometimes it’s injury, and sometimes it’s coaching or just bad performance. There's no question that 2017 was the most difficult season to [...]

What Do We Do With…Andrew Luck

By |2020-10-21T20:52:44-04:00September 23rd, 2017|archive|

Here we are. Week 3 of the NFL season. Depending on when you held your fantasy draft, you drafted Andrew Luck anywhere from the 4th to 10th round, assuming you would have a top fantasy quarterback in your lineup at some point.

By |2020-10-21T20:54:39-04:00August 26th, 2017|archive|

Another preseason game and another devastating injury to a key fantasy producer.  We'll work under the notion that Julian Edelman's reported knee injury is indeed the dreaded torn ACL, as being reported by ESPN's Adam Shefter. Patriots suspect Julian Edelman tore his ACL, but do not definitely know, per source.

Running Back Handcuffs

By |2020-10-21T21:14:48-04:00July 5th, 2017|archive|

A handcuff is the insurance policy for the star running back on your fantasy team. Usually it is the player that is #2 on teams depth chart. Owning your running back’s handcuff has been the thing “to do” in fantasy football as fantasy football as evolved over the years. Injuries are evident. It’s just that type of game.

The wide receiver position is arguably the most difficult position to make the transition from college to pro [...]
