Rare-Owned Un-Refined RB Louis Rankin - week9

Rare-Owned Un-Refined RB Louis Rankin - week9
11/07/2009 12:47 PM - Jimmy Vanderpool

The 2009 Fantasy Football Season is showing itself as one that has been extremely stingy with injuries to key RBs. Some owners employed a tactical strategy, on draft day, of waiting until the later rounds to secure high potential backup RBs and/or handcuff RBs in anticipation of the routine rash of RB injuries. In most [...]

Fantasy Radar: NFL Week 9 Waiver Wire

11/05/2009 2:05 AM - Chris Farmer

Ryan Moats- I picked him up at 4:18 pm Sunday, and he was likely gone from some waiver wires an hour or more before that. Here are my thoughts. Moats is quick and had an incredible day, 23 carries for 126 yards and 3 TDs. I am happy for him since he has been a career backup having what may go down as his best NFL memory of his life. But Steve Slaton is the starter for a reason, and I can’t see Houston leaving him on the bench to rot.

I hate Gary Kubiak so much that it stings, I went 3-7 in my 10 fantasy leagues, and I still couldn’t be more hooked on fantasy football! It is week 9 and that means it’s the last 6 team bye week, so let’s find some gems off the wire and crack open another Fantasy 6-Pack right here at FantasyFootball.com!

The Fantasyfootball.com Staff League is a league that is housed on fantasybowl.com and features 14 members of the site’s staff.  My week 8 match-up was against Brian Pearson’s Six Kings squad that featured Eli Manning, Ray Rice, Marion Barber, DeSean Jackson and Frank Gore.  Looking at then lineup compared to mine, I figured I had [...]

Wire Me This (IDP: Week 9)

Week 9 is upon us and you’re probably thinking to yourself, are there anymore viable IDP options on the wire at this point?  I am here to say….yes.  Depending on your league size, there still should be some viable options on the wire for your squad.  Pickens might be slim but, there’s always a diamond [...]

Week 8 Chop Blocks

11/02/2009 11:36 AM - MentalAcumen

It really is quite amazing what kind of withdrawals you have when you don’t have web access.  I felt totally disconnected from the world yesterday and I couldn’t login to make a lineup change, which might have cost me in one league.  But, here are my observations from around the league as week 8 comes [...]

Spencer Havner, Green Bay Packers’ TE: Bookmark Him Now

11/02/2009 2:08 AM - Chris Farmer

With Finley out again, Havner responded with a two catch, 21-yard, 2 TD performance that has to make you stand up and take notice. Not in a Chris Johnson, 24 Rush, 228 yds, 2 TDs kind of way. More like a Samkon Gado kind of way.

Week 8 Staff Pool

10/31/2009 10:56 PM - spiguy

Last week was pretty cut and dry. The only real surprise has been the downfall of the mighty Giants. Chris and Pearson continue fighting back and forth for the top spot while the rest of the pack are close behind.

IDP Match-ups (Week 8)

10/30/2009 6:38 PM - MentalAcumen

It’s Halloween weekend, so gear up and empty out your pillow cases for some trick or treating.  Don’t forget to turn your clocks back as daylight savings ends this weekend, which gives you an extra hour to agonize over your fantasy football team this Sunday.  This is going to be a shortened version of the [...]

Cardinals-Panthers Fantasy Breakdown

10/30/2009 1:56 PM - Chris Farmer

It just seems to me to be the perfect game to give Beanie a chance to breakout. He had a career high 14 carries last week and the Panthers are exploitable on the ground. These three stars should have an asterisk though; three stars for those willing to gamble. This is no lock, just a hunch.

The GM Perspective — Week 8

10/29/2009 2:18 PM - Craig Davis

Back in 2005, FantasyFootball.com senior writer Andy Pino used to write a column called “The GM Perspective”. Those of you who were inmates back in the day remember this piece. It was clearly one of the best articles we had running on the site for two straight years until Pino decided to retire to spend more time with his family. The article was a basic, weekly overview of all things fantasy, and covered players injuries, news, trends, etc. It had it all. Mr. Pino, your columns have been missed.
