Forget Them Not: Ten Dynasty Running Backs for Keepers and Sleepers
We covered the quarterbacks and the wide receivers, but the position you really should watch closely heading into this year’s draft is running back. These runners have worked their way into the favor of their current coaching staffs and may stand a much greater chance of seeing the field than that guy that gets taken [...]
Wild Card Weekend, Part 1: Saturday’s Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Here we are in the postseason, and just because the regular season is over, that doesn’t mean your fantasy football season has to come to and end.
Before we dive into our offseason coverage on how to make you a better fantasy football player and more attractive to the opposite sex, we’ll be covering the playoffs [...]
Five Backups Worth Owning in the Playoffs
If you’re in the playoffs, your team should be pretty strong, but injuries and/or a Week 17 championship game might soon leave you hurting for some unlikely names.
Backups who haven’t seen any action this season are much more important, and you might find yourself saving your season or winning in Week 17 by getting some [...]
Foolish Thoughts on Week 11: There’s no tying in football
There’s no tying in football. None. You only get one sudden death overtime, and if no team can manage to score a single point, you’re done.

Week 11 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
I didn’t rush to publish the starts and sits before Thursday Night Football because I wasn’t planning on mentioning any of Jets or Patriots this week. It’s times like these that you should follow me on twitter for any news updates or sit/start recommendations you might need.
Last night, I expected a defensive slugfest with a [...]

A Fool and His Money in Week 2
Well, my distrust in rookie QBs certainly worked out for me. I’m going back for more.

Fantasy Football Fools’ 2008 Average Joe Mock Draft
I know it’s a little late to be posting a mock draft. Believe me. I know you all drafted already — well, hopefully, you drafted already.
I wish I could have gotten this one edited sooner, but the rush of preseason football and real drafts took hold of me and delayed the posting. Next time, I’ll [...]
The Difference Between a RB1 and RB2
When we talk about players as being RB1 or RB2 caliber, we are not trying to confuse you.
Okay. Okay. Well, maybe we are just a tiny bit, but that’s a small satisfaction of mine. I have to compensate for all the spammy emails I get from Russia that make me feel “small,” okay?

Mocking a Mock Draft? Analyzing The Hazean’s Mock Draft
Last month, fellow fantasy football blogger The Hazean ran a two-round fantasy mock draft. (Round 1 and Round 2)
