After the big holiday weekend, many of us have that slow, bloated feeling. Nothing like a little fantasy football success to boost our spirits, eh? Well, you had to have a winning weekend like our teams had. Not that I’m gloating or anything, but here’s what I’m thankful for:
Justin Forsett’s (RB-Seattle) 22-130-2 performance against St. [...]
Yes, we’re in this era of “information overload”…but if you can’t get enough fantasy football information, here’s some websites that may help put you over the top.
www.rotoworld.com this has to be one of my favorite sites. Very timely and offers great analysis.
www.espn.com sometimes the site takes a while to load, but Matthew Berry (The Fabulous [...]
You get to this point in the season, and you might be doing well, or not. For example, our two teams; Skills, and Uncle Rico’s Team…are both 6-4…and well positioned for a possible playoff run.
From my limited experience in fantasy football, this is when the trouble can start.
Several things can happen to you as a [...]
It can be this way on Halloween even for fantasy footballers.
Take the case of Matt Forte, the running back for the Chicago Bears. We have him on Uncle Rico’s Team in the Western Mass. Conference. Just look at his numbers over the course of the season:
GAME CARRIES YARDS TD REC YARDS TD

About one third into the season, my one team, Skills, is 5-0. But my other team, Uncle Rico’s Team, is 3-2. Yet Uncle Rico’s Team has a wealth of riches at RB that anyone would envy:
Ray Rice, Baltimore
Cedric Benson, Cincinnati
Matt Forte, Chicago
Ahmad Bradshaw, New York Giants
Leon Washington, New York Jets
This weekend I’m starting Forte, Benson, and [...]
To follow up on yesterday’s “Wealth of Riches”….yes, Uncle Rico’s Team has a wealth of running backs….and yes, the team emerged victorious yesterday. But while most of the running backs did great yesterday, Matt Forte-Chicago remains a mystery/problem/worry. My top draft pick is not delivering, for me or fantasy owners across the globe. Just 2 [...]
“Fantasy fudge” has nothing to do with that great treat you get at every other store on the main drag in Lake George Village.
It’s the player who really doesn’t fit into the fantasy position he’s assigned, but has nowhere else to go.
Case in point: Josh Cribbs of the Cleveland Browns.
Cribbs is a some time [...]
Don’t get the wrong idea. Things are going pretty well. My one team named Skills is 3-0, and the other one, Uncle Rico’s Team is 1-2. But there are some players… that by this point in the season, I’m starting to worry about….
EDDIE ROYAL-WR-Denver….is the highest on my list. I actually have him on both [...]
“Taking a flier” is a familiar phrase in fantasy sports. It means taking a chance on a player that may, or may not, pan out. With my team Skills at 2-0, and Uncle Rico’s Team at 1-1, I’m satisfied through Week 2 of the NFL season, but always looking for an upgrade.
This weeks big pick?
Mario Manningham.
The [...]
Okay, first week, Skills wins behind a 50 point plus day from Drew Brees (QB-New Orleans)…while in the other league I’m in, Uncle Rico’s Team lags behind and loses thanks to lackluster performances from Eddie Royal (WR-Denver), and Matt Forte (RB-Chicago).
So the analysis, or, as my late stepfather used to say, “paralysis by analysis” continues. [...]
