12.11.09The Marble Ryan Lock of the WeekMan, Tom Brady really sucks. I think it’s best to just spend as little time as possible on last week, with my Pats pick (and my prediction of a big game for Randy Moss) looking good early on, only to have the team fall apart in the end against what I consider to be a pretty mediocre Dolphins team. The one thing I can say is that it’s 100% Tom Brady’s fault, just like everything else that has gone wrong for me this football season. With the holidays approaching, I’m getting low on cash, and I need to start getting ...

12.10.09You Know Who You Should Sit?Jeremy Shockey (TE – NO) There was a time in his career when Shockey would complain about not seeing enough of the football, regardless of his team’s record. Putting up 12 total fantasy points’ worth of yardage over a six game stretch would send young Jeremy into a tizzy.

12.10.09You Know Who You Should Start?We’re in the home stretch this fantasy season, and in almost all leagues this week marks either the final week of the regular season or the first round of the playoffs.

12.09.09The Year of the WR My AssHeading into this year’s draft, we heard all about how 2009 would be the Year of the WR in fantasy football. The thinking here was that WRs would be the beneficiary of the NFL’s gradual shift to RB by committee approaches and increasing passing totals. But after setting your sights on grabbing some elite receivers early in your draft, you’re heading into Week 14 kicking yourself for choosing Calvin Johnson, Steve Smith 1.0, or Greg Jennings over more reliable RB options like Frank Gore, Ryan Grant, and, God forbid, Chris Johnson.

12.08.09Ten Reasons You Might’ve Missed the PlayoffsUnless you write for this site or are directly affiliated with one of its staff members, it’s likely that you’ll stop reading this weekend if your team winds up missing the playoffs. I thought I’d use this last opportunity, then, to not only bid you adieu but also to venture a few guesses as to why your guys are clearing out their fantasy lockers instead of gearing up for the playoffs. 1. You drafted Matt Forte in Round 1. This one’s pretty simple. Forte is #16 in scoring among RBs, whereas MJD, a player Forte was drafted one slot ahead of in ...
