The league is all shook up about Randy Moss, but there was a ton of other big news and things to learn from this week’s action. Follow me as I tell you the things that you need to know, and again, yes, Randy Moss was traded to the Vikings. You weren’t dreaming that. –In the [...]

Well, my waiver wire claim of the week finally failed to perform up to the standards that I expect. Justin Forsett, why do you choose to do this to me? Sure, you received by far the majority of the touches and you looked like you were ready to break one at any time, but that [...]

I told you guys my picks last week and my crystal ball was pretty clear. I promised you that Michael Vick wouldn’t disappoint and he didn’t. Though, admittedly, my crystal ball was a little cloudy when it came to Correll Buckhalter and Dez Bryant. Sorry if you started them as they both put up mediocre [...]

What’s the story of the NFL season thus far? Perhaps the redemption (or people forgetting that he cruelly abused animals because now he throws TDs, so it’s all good) of Michael Vick fits the bill. Regardless of what your personal feelings are for Vick, you have to admit that since he took control of the [...]

If you haven’t been paying attention to this column, then you’ve been making a grave mistake. So far, my two waiver wire claims-of-the-week (Michael Vick and Mark Sanchez) have accounted for 7 total TDs since I gave them this distinguished position. I also recently profiled Kyle Orton, who promptly went out and passed for 476 [...]

I try to stay humble, but I want to brag a little about my start/sit post last week. Almost everyone I picked did exactly what I said they would do. I did, however, recommend sitting Randy Moss who wound up decent yards and a TD, but you probably wouldn’t bench him anyway, right? There are [...]

Week 2 is in the books and it’s been a weird season. Teams everyone though would contend for the Super Bowl look awfully far off from that goal (Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings) while a multitude of perceived bottom feeders are 2-0 (Chicago Bears, Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers). So, what does this mean for [...]

You probably don’t need much advice on who to start for your fantasy leagues this week. After all, it’s still insanely early in the season (as Tony noted) and you can’t really draw any conclusions at this point. It’s my job to jump to conclusions and play fortune teller however, so don’t mind me as [...]

Let’s get right to it: –I’ll admit that I love C.J. Spiller. At Clemson, he was unstoppable. He ran fast, juked everyone out, and made impossible catches. I’ve spent way too much time watching highlights on Youtube over and over. After Thursday, I finally have a new one to watch. Spiller burst through the Colts [...]
