Six Well-Received Dynasty Wide Receivers for 2009 Sleepers and Keepers
We started our dynasty talk with a look at the quarterbacks on benches you may have forgotten as the NFL draft approaches, but now it’s time to refresh your memory about a few receivers that could be valuable for keeper leagues and dynasty leagues. Some even have a shot at fantasy stardom in 2009.

10 Foolish Thoughts on Super Bowl XLIII
I had to wait until after the Pro Bowl to gather my thoughts about this year’s Super Bowl. Even though the Pro Bowl is full of overhyped drama and hated by many NFL fans, I love it.
Outside of a video game, the Pro Bowl is the closest thing to two fantasy teams playing against each other. [...]
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 [...]
Week 17 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: Championship Edition?
First of all, why are you guys still having your championship in Week 17? That’s like playing a game of chess for hours only to bring in toddlers to play out the final three moves. Why would you do that? And where did you get chess-playing toddlers?
This week, I absolutely love everyone involved with the [...]
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 [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 14: Game balls and last-quarter falls
I’m convinced that there is something in the water in Denver. If you’re in Colorado, don’t drink it. Just dump it down the drain and walk away. It must contain a chemical that turns your muscles into paper. How else would Shanahan lose four running backs in the same season — five if you count [...]

Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
There’s a lot of hotness this week, and many players not on a bye might have their best performance of the season for you. My favorite starts are Willis McGahee against Oakland and Chris Johnson against the Colts but even Cedric Benson might break 100 yards this week. Cedric Benson — let that sink in [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 7: Wade Phillips would make a great Mall Santa
I feel a bit like Mike Nolan this morning. A heart-wrenching, late pass to Eddie Royal caused me to lose by 0.10 points last night. A tenth of a point — seriously brutal.
My fantasy team chose Week 7 to look like the Cowboys — full of talent but not producing.
Speaking of Big D, I can’t [...]
A Fool and His Money in Week 7
This week, I wanted to educate you on two of my favorite types of bets, the parlay and the progressive parlay. With these two wagers, you can arm yourself with the tools necessary to lose money like Chadam and I do. Excited?

A parlay is when you combine several point-spread wagers into [...]
