We expect a lot of our football players. As I detailed last week, we want players to rub some dirt on their injuries and get out there and play. Today, I’d like to talk about a different issue of expectation. There is a certain expectation that these guys play like animals from snap to whistle, then immediately turn it off in between plays. Do you know where I am going with this? I don’t condone what Ndamukong Suh did, but [...]

Each week the staff ranks their top 32 teams. Here’s how the teams placed this week:

The brothers Harbaugh met on Thanksgiving with mom & dad on hand to watch – in the end it was John & the Ravens with the win. Another slow start by the Lions offense, but their defense kept them in the game, limiting the Packers to 7 points and 86 total yards in the first half. The Packers made the necessary adjustments at half-time and had no problem winning. It took a field goal as time expired for the Cowboys [...]

Most leagues start their playoffs in week 14, so it’s time to make that final playoff push! Good owners always scour the waiver wire trying to improve their teams. You might need a player for only 1 week, and you could end up getting a player that helps you for the rest of the year. Here are six players that could help your fantasy team reach the promised land. Good luck! Fantasy Points are based on IDP Manor Scoring: Tackles: [...]

Here we sit one week away from the playoffs in most leagues, hopefully you have wrapped up your spot in the playoffs by now.

Pick the games and you are entered into a drawing for $50 and you might win free FFO gear.

 We are going to switch it up a bit this week and instead of listing a player I like a lot for the future I think with some trade deadlines coming up it is time to list the players that I don’t like for the future. Please keep in mind that making deals is contingent on your situation. If you are making a run for the championship this year, you can’t deal a key piece but if you are a middle [...]

 I love dynasty leagues and I now play almost exclusively in them. I think I am pretty good at them as well and would like to pass along a few tips to those currently playing in a dynasty and for those of you thinking about joining one. Over the past few years I have played in five main dynasty leagues against what I consider to be excellent competition and I have been fortunate enough to amass a record of 157-46 [...]

I want to wish everyone and their families a very Happy Thanksgiving! The bye weeks are over! Most leagues start their playoffs in week 14, so the next 3 weeks is the time to make that final playoff push. It’s also time to set your lineups for week 12. Here we have my Top 36 Linebackers, Defensive Backs, and Defensive Linemen for week 12. Good luck! Thanksgiving Thursday Games Alert: Make sure to get your Packers, Lions, Dolphins, Cowboys, 49ers, [...]

I have been thinking about the term “injury prone” lately. I think we as fantasy owners are somewhat unfair to football players by labeling them as injury prone or saying “if he could only stay on the field.” Let’s face it: fantasy owners are pretty selfish. We not only want our players to play through injury but to score as much as they can. I know that is the name of the game, but I don’t have to feel completely [...]
