Without T.O., is Romo still an elite fantasy quarterback?
It’s the debate that began as soon as the Cowboys released Terrell Owens: Where does Tony Romo rank without his prized target in the passing game? I’ve exchanged emails with fellow Fools writer Chadam and several other fantasy football compatriots since my post on the release of the infamous No. 81, but I’ve been reluctant [...]
Divisional Playoffs, Part 2: Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
So the Cardinals have game — and a run game at that. Of course, who really needs a balanced attack when Larry Fitzgerald can do whatever he wants on the field and you benefit from more than five turnovers?
Looks like the Buzzsaw is bound for the next round, so who will get you there in [...]
On the Wire: Week 17 Pickups and Players Still Playing
Is it true? Do I really have to mention David Carr this week? Somehow, he managed to find his way onto a team that is so set for the playoffs that they don’t mind starting him. Punch me in the kidney.
If you’re still playing this week in Week 17, there’s not much I can do [...]
Dude… Jay Cutler
I know the Week 10 performance might have been expected from all the praise Jay Cutler had as a fantasy quarterback to begin the season, but he did fade a bit in the last few weeks. To his credit, Cutler also created huge fantasy days for four other players with his outing — Eddie Royal, [...]
Week 3 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Obviously, things change in fantasy football. There’s no Tom Brady, and therefore, no Randy Moss. Offenses in Seattle, Cincinnati and Cleveland are in shambles. Jacksonville keeps turning it over, and the Denver Broncos might have the most explosive offense of 2008.
Shanny, we knew you had it in you. I won’t even say that I called [...]
Week 2 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Don’t get all reactionary when you are setting your lineups this week. If your stud disappointed in his first showing — and there is no evidence supporting his failure, i.e. horrible line in Jacksonville and St. Louis — just forget Week 1 happened.
This week, we’ll move into more of a Q&A mode with the start-or-sit [...]
Dude… Matt Forte
Another leaving us speechless “Dude” award has to go out to Matt Forte this week.
The rookie RB laid down a breakout performance in his first NFL start and had a long run against the Colts defense. Highlights in the video.
Something tells me that the smart jackasses people who grabbed Matt Forte late in their drafts [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 1
Now that we have the explanation out of the way, let’s talk Week 1 picks.
Jacob’s Ed. Note: Note that due to some compulsive gambling this weekend, we didn’t get the Week 1 picks up before the games. If you didn’t notice, congratulations — you rock. Starting Week 2, picks should be up prior to the [...]
Dude… Brandon Jacobs
Thank New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs for our “Loss for Words Other Than…Dude” moment of the week. LaRon Landry was a brave man.
And if you are a fan of up close and personal…
Ouch. Just ouch.

Introducing Two Fools and Their Money
This football season, our highly-respected Best Bets feature (Hint: Don’t ever start betting in Week 16) will be replaced by a column we are going to call A fool and his money… where two compulsive online gamblers will go head-to-head picking the NFL spreads for the entire regular season.
These two moderately delusional individuals will include [...]
