Today’s matchups treat us to a battle of two defenses and a battle of two different styles of offense. Baltimore Ravens at Tennessee Titans This game is all about the defense. I wouldn’t want to bet on many of the offensive stars being a factor, but there are a few players who should have an…… Continue reading Divisional Playoffs, Part 1: 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

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…… Continue reading Week 8 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
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,…… Continue reading Foolish Thoughts on Week 7: Wade Phillips would make a great Mall Santa
Dude… Steven Jackson
I usually try to stray from the obvious guys, but Jackson’s performance yesterday is too hard to ignore. Even rated as a top-five running back going into the season, Jackson had a lot of hate from fantasy analysts this preseason (including the Fools). He finally had his breakout day against…my Cowboys. *sigh* While he may…… Continue reading Dude… Steven Jackson
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
Fantasy Football Fools’ 2008 Average Joe Mock Draft

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,…… Continue reading Fantasy Football Fools’ 2008 Average Joe Mock Draft
