Start’em and Sit’em: Monday night and Tuesday (??) Night games

These Sunday night and Monday night games are so important to fantasy matchups every week. Even if you’ve built a big lead, your opponent can still have some huge games left in the National spotlight and your lead can suddenly evaporate. But, of course, it can go the other way, too. You can catch up [...]

Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday’s early games

DET @ MIA Start: Calvin Johnson You have to. If you’re in the Championship, Calvin is one of the guys that got you there. Big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games. Man, I sounded like Ron Jaworski there. Brandon Marshall Same as above about big-time players. Marshall’s been having a down year, but had [...]

The Adventures of a Fantasy Basketball Novice—Week 7 recap

My teams finally started to click a little bit in Week 7. I went a combined 12-6-4 throughout the week and it was the first time both of my teams finished at .500 or above in my matchups. And that was even with a big blow to Joakim Noah, the No. 2 source of rebounds [...]

FF All-Matchup Team: Start These Guys in Week 16

It’s Championship Week in Fantasy Football! For many of you, this is the last week of the season.

The Impact of the Zack Greinke Trade

I must say, I was awfully surprised when I heard of this deal. There was obviously so much talk about Greinke possibly getting dealt, but I figured it would be to a team like the Yankees or something. Not the Brewers. And especially not without Prince Fielder in the deal. No, if you told me [...]

Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday night and Monday Night games

Things could get pretty tricky in the final two games of the Week 15 slate, with three NFC North teams involved in the week’s big contests. However, on two of them, the No. 1 QBs are both believed to be sitting due to injury (Brett Favre is out with a shoulder injury; Aaron Rodgers with [...]

The Adventures of a Fantasy Basketball Novice—Week 6 recap

Week 6 really proved my worth in both of my leagues. I was matched up against two of the top teams in my league and came away with an overall record above .500, a great sign that the moves I’m making and the lessons I’m learning are paying off. Lessons Learned Speaking of lessons, I [...]

FF All-Matchup Team: Start These Guys in Week 15

So you survived Week 1 of the playoffs, eh? Or are you just in one of those off-putting leagues that first starts playoffs in Week 15? (Quick side note: I had to look up “off-putting” because I thought it was “off-pudding,” which in hindsight makes no sense. Why would pudding be disconcerting? Everybody loves pudding. [...]

Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday night and Monday Night games

The big key with trying to figure out the matchups in the Sunday night and Monday night games is knowing who can be counted on to play and to play well. If a guy playing Sunday night is questionable and not vital to your team, it’s not advisable to play him, even if the other [...]

The Adventures of a Fantasy Basketball Novice—Week 5 recap

Week 5 in Fantasy Basketball was overall pretty kind to me. I won my matchup in each of my leagues against a tough opponent and clawed my way towards first place. Not there yet, obviously, but a step in the right direction, of course. Lessons Learned I didn’t make any mistakes this week. I was [...]
