Players I Love, Vol. III

(This is part 3 of a 5-part series, check back soon for Part4 and for another edition I’m not so fond of…) Do you remember that period in the last decade when the Seattle Seahawks were a lock to win their division every year? For a while, they were mentioned in the same breath as the [...]

Rising and Falling RB’s

Running backs are the first players taken in your fantasy football draft. On Sunday morning, you check a running back’s fantasy point total before any quarterbacks or receivers. They’re your team’s bread and butter. They’re the backbone to the entire operation. When you win it’s because of them, and when you lose it’s because of [...]

Rant Sports’ Top 200 Lists

Tony’s Prelude to his list: As you can tell, the front of the list is very RB heavy, as it should be. With rushing and receiving stats readily available, it makes the most sense as in every league format, RBs likely garner the most points. QBs were pretty simple to rate, as the top 20 [...]

Last weekend, I found myself lucky enough to be attending the first preseason game for both the Rams and Vikings. Now, as I’ve previously [...]

Rookie ‘Cruz’ing to fantasy stardom?

OK. So, anybody watching the 2010 season’s first edition of Monday Night Football HAD to have noticed Victor Cruz on the Giants. What first drew me to the little fireball was his jersey number: 3. And therein lies the problem. Cruz is not No. 10-19, nor is he 80-89, meaning his chances of truly making [...]

Players I Love, Vol. II

(This is part 2 of a 5-part series. Check back soon for part 5 and for another edition of players I hate..) He’s one of the tallest quarterbacks in the league at 6-6. He has a rocket arm that could put a hole through the moon. He’s never completed less than 60% of his passes, [...]

Rising and Falling QB’s

From the eyes of a fantasy manager, there are two different types of players in football: the rising and the falling. Most players eventually fall into one of these two categories every year, but it’s difficult to determine where they will end up when the season is yet to begin. Success and failure in football [...]

Joey Votto is a man (but he’s not 40).

Yes, every once and a while I’m going to spend a post simply gushing man-love all over one of the star players on my teams. Today, that player is Joey Votto. First off, I can’t believe there is a top player in baseball commonly known as “Joey”. What a weak sounding name. Are there any [...]
