11.23.09Monday Morning JerkLions-Browns. Yeah, so that happened. Week 11 brought us a fantasy orgy in the most unlikely of forms: a game between the Lions, who are so lukewarm on rookie QB Matt Stafford that they won't even fix his jersey when it gets caught beneath his shoulder pads, and the Browns, who as recently as Monday night looked like one of the worst offensive NFL teams in memory. The game, which ended with a final score of 38-37 Lions, yielded the weekend's two highest-scoring fantasy QBs, Brady Quinn and the aforementioned Stafford. Wait, what? Continue Reading...

11.20.09The Marble Ryan Lock of the WeekFor a guy on a 4-0 streak, I’m very nervous. In Week 8, I decided to discard my “Go With The Gut” approach and dug into my Lock methodology with the intensity and seriousness of a brain surgeon working on a tumor lodged next to someone’s cerebellum.

However, last week Moats went out ...

11.19.09You Know Who You Should Start?Kevin Smith (RB - DET) Like many, I wasted an early round draft pick on Silent Bob. I've watched Smith struggle to stay healthy and the Lions struggle to be competitive, a combination that only brings laughs to my opponents. I should've known better given that I was never interested in any of his movies other than Zach and Miri Make a Porno. Smith hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 4, a feat matched only by Steven Jackson -- and Smith is no Steven Jackson. Thankfully for Smith owners, though, the lowly Browns pop up on his schedule in Week 11. ...

11.17.09Playoffs?!?With only four weeks to go in the RexQB league, our standings are still a total clusterfuck. The last place team is only two games behind the league-leader. And as in most leagues, our trade deadline arrives this week, so I’m beginning to wonder which players can help me make it into the playoffs. Playoffs?!? That’s right. You better hope you can win a game before you start thinking ahead or else you won’t be playing for diddly poo.
