Fantasy Football Week 16 Sleepers

December 19, 2010 By

As you know, I was eliminated from the P&G-sponsored Blogger Fantasy Football League* last week. Luckily I played in six leagues this year, making the playoffs in four of them, and giving me plenty of motivation to stay up on the latest in the fantasy world.

With the carnage of Week 15 now settling in, it looks like I will have one team advancing to the championship round. While I’d like to have more than one chance at a title, if I was going to pick a league to win other than the P&G league, it would be this one. It’s the league with all my college friends that I’ve been in for close to 10 years now. Major bragging rights are on the line!

So as we look forward to Week 16, I know that there will be less of you reading these articles, but I also know that the stakes are as high as possible, so I’m not skimping on the research, recommendations, or Q&A.

Fantasy Football Week 15 Start / Sit Picks

December 13, 2010 By

Well, as I explained in this week’s waiver wire sleeper picks post, I needed another Monday night miracle to make the playoffs in the P&G-sponsored Blogger Fantasy Football League*. Barring something truly miraculous over the next hour, my season will end at the hands of Team Gunaxin.

Regardless, it has been a great experience, highlighted by the trip to New York and the draft in the NFL boardroom. That was a truly memorable experience that I’ll remember forever, and I cannot thank P&G and the NFL enough for making it reality. I would have loved to be able to enjoy this year’s Super Bowl live from Jerry World as well; but alas, it was not meant to be.

Luckily I am in many more leagues than just that one and actually had three byes this week. So fear not, dear reader! Just because my season has come to a screeching halt in the P&G league, I still have leagues with friends and family that I must win for essential bragging rights and pride. Thus, I will still be working just as hard as always to analyze the players, trends, matchups, and injuries to help myself out in my other leagues and to help you out in yours.

Let’s start analyzing.

Fantasy Football Week 14 Start / Sit Picks

December 6, 2010 By

Well, it all comes down to this.

As I put the finishing touches on this week’s Start ‘em, Sit ‘em post, I currently lead my Week 13 opponent (Brian Bassett of The Jets Blog) 61.22-36.20 in the P&G-sponsored Blogger Fantasy Football League*.

Before you get too excited for me though, take a look at who he still has left to play: QB Mark Sanchez; RB Shonn Greene; WR Danny Woodhead; TE Dustin Keller; D/ST New York Jets. Basically, if those five players average five points a piece, I’m toast.

What will make a loss burn even more is that the team I needed to lose, PUNTE‘s squad, did in fact lose. A win and I am a single game out of the final playoff spot with one week to play. I’ll have a fighting chance. A loss and I’m done, just playing Week 14 for pride.

Needless to say, I will be watching the Monday night game with great intrigue, hoping for a miracle.

Update: I don’t know how the hell it happened, but I won! Still alive baby!

Fantasy Football Week 9 Sleepers and Waiver Wire Targets

November 1, 2010 By

In Week 9, we have a similar situation to Week 8. There are six teams on bye (listed below), which means that there will plenty of lineup gaps that you need to find worthy players to fill.

Last week I highlighted names like Matthew Stafford, Steve Johnson, Mike Williams, and the Kansas City D as solid sleeper targets. Who are the guys you should be targeting on waivers this week?

Solid options at QB, RB, WR, TE, and Defense are detailed below.

Detroit Lions: Matt Millen Fired

September 24, 2008 By 1 Comment

I was just making my daily perusal of Deadspin.com and our good friends over there have a story about Matt Millen being fired late last night. All I can say is that it’s about time.

Just this season he has seen his team go 0-3 and deal with TatumBellgate, the crazy story in which Tatum Bell apparently stole Rudi Johnson’s bags while the latter was having a meeting Matt Millen.

The only real surprise here is that it has taken Matt Millen so long to get the ax. The Lions have been pathetic for years, and rumors of Millen’s imminent demise have been pretty commonplace for the past four or five years. Yet, because of his close relationship with the Ford family he has been able to keep his job despite the consistently horrid performance of his teams. It looked like the Lions might be turning a corner last year when they were 6-2, but to the dismay of Lions Nation the team fell flat on his face.
