A lot of the action already went down on Thursday, but there are still a few sneaky starts and player concerns this week. Here are a few players that might help or hurt you in staking your claim for a playoff spot on this fine Sunday. Hot Hands Chad Pennington, QB Dolphins vs. Rams –…… Continue reading Week 13 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders

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…… Continue reading Week 11 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Foolish Thoughts on Week 10: Enter the tight end zone
Do yourself a favor and forget everything that happened in the first half of the season. As we’ve seen from the past two weeks, not every team is going to bow out of the season quietly. The Chiefs, 49ers and Seahawks might surprise a few top contenders before they put a nail in the 2008…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 10: Enter the tight end zone
A Fool and His Money in Week 8
Editor’s Note: This week might be the lowest point in the life de Chadam. I’m pretty sure I walked in on him and Terrell Owens having a group cry. He’s really gone off the deep end. If you like what he puts out there this week or just want to kick a man while he’s…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 8
Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
These sudden, mysterious and largely unreported injuries have got to stop. Last week, Carson Palmer was a late scratch. This week, the victim was Matt Schaub, who was hit by a virus the night before the game. I normally set lineups Saturday night and then let them run, but this sudden injury plague makes me…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 5: And another three bite the dust?
A Fool and His Money in Week 5
Chadam and Nick had a rough weekend. Nick was swamped last week trying to put together a fantasy lineup that could stop my crushing force of a team in our shared fantasy football league. Unfortunately for Nick, it looks like his efforts were in vain. Chadam, on the other hand, spent the entire weekend crying…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 5
Foolish Thoughts on Week 4: Postgame reactions to the week that fantasy forgot
Where did that Carson Palmer injury come from on Sunday morning? I lucked out played against him this week, but I didn’t hear a word about it until I saw him putting up zero points heading into halftime. Enough with the quiet injuries already. I’m still shocked there was an Ocho Cinco sighting without Palmer…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 4: Postgame reactions to the week that fantasy forgot
A Fool and His Money on 2008 Futures [Win Totals and Over Unders]
Prior to the first snap this season, Chadam and Nick got together and picked a handful of teams that each compulsive gambler believed would perform above or below Vegas’ predicted win total. I locked these picks away in a vault, buried beneath the ground and protected by two very angry, alcoholic monkeys and a crafty…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money on 2008 Futures [Win Totals and Over Unders]
A Fool and His Money in Week 3
Last week, Nick and I were on fire. We had identical picks for 12 of the 15 games, and in those games, the two of us went 8-3 with one push. Sadly, I lost the three picks on which we disagreed. After a sterling 11-3-1 record in Week 2, Nick is now up by three…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 3
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…… Continue reading Week 3 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
