Brady’s Back: Now Where Should I Draft Him?
Tom Brady’s Week 1 knee injury in 2008 caused more than one owner in the world of fantasy football to collapse in front of their TV in tears before they ever even learned of Matt Cassel’s existence. It was just the kind of nightmare that fantasy owners fear when they assemble their team at the [...]
Week 16 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders: Championship Edition
At this point, you should be starting your studs. We stopped posting all the week-to-week start posts as a result, but I do have a few thoughts to throw out this week with many of you in championship or at least playoff matches.
In the Cowboy game tonight, I like Tony Romo and the Cowboys wide [...]
On the Wire: Week 14 Pickups and Playoff Late Bloomers from Week 13
Now, don’t go quitting the waiver wire on me because you are in the playoffs. You know that fifth wide receiver of yours has terrible matchups from here on out, and it’d be nice to replace him with a guy who has upside.
Even if you don’t need players, now more than ever, it’s important to [...]
On the Wire: Week 13 Pickups and Waiver Wire Reserves for the Playoffs

Week 12 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
I don’t even know why I am awake right now at 6 a.m. on Sunday.
Actually, that’s a lie. I’m awake right now because I am infused with truck stop coffee, the kind of coffee that fills you with enough energy to punch a wall with your head … twice.
Needless to say, it’s been an eventful [...]
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.
It’s bad enough that Andy Reid and the Eagles have a hard time managing the clock, but before taking the field to come away even with one of the worst [...]

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 [...]
Week 7 Hot Hands and Cold Shoulders
Technical difficulties with our Web host had us listed as questionable for Wednesday night, but as you saw Thursday, we showed up to play at game time. We aren’t wishy-washy like Wade Phillips.
If we come into the game to answer your questions on Sunday, consider it a bonus.
Hot Hands
Matt Schaub, QB Texans vs. Lions — [...]
