Playoff Challenge Strategy: The Two-Team Gambit
Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012
Gambling on a surprise Super Bowl team? How about Andre Johnson and the Texans.
There are two basic kinds of playoff fantasy football competitions. In one kind, you can select different players each week. This article will not touch on that type of contest. The other kind, which will be dealt with here, is where you pick a team at the beginning and go with it, even if your players have been eliminated. The key difference between this type of game and standard free fantasy football leagues is that you are no longer going head-to-head. You are competing against a large group of people to have the best score. (more…)
Mondays Minings
Monday, January 2nd, 2012
Calvin Johnson could be preparing to take off in round one of the playoffs.
For the final Monday column, I’m just going to note a few facts, looking mostly for info that will help with playoff fantasy football games. I don’t think that much happened on Sunday that would affect the 2012 fantasy football rankings. We already knew Victor Cruz had a great 2011. We already know Drew Brees fills up the box score against bad defenses in domes. One more example doesn’t make that any more true. I’m not going to drastically change how I feel about players based on upon week 17 any more than I would do so based upon week eight. It’s just one game, even if it’s the last one. (more…)
Weekend Fantasy Spotlight: New York Giants

Eli Manning
As the season is fading away in both the NFL and weekly fantasy football, there is still much at stake in both of the respective leagues. If you’re the New York Giants or at least own some of the New York Giants as you make you last ditch effort to conquer the fantasy football playoffs, this week is as important as they come. The Giants will be hosting the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday to decide the NFC East crown. This week’s spotlight will dissect the Giants as they try to stave off elimination and you try to grab some glory before becoming a full-time weekly fantasy basketball player. (more…)
2012 Fantasy Football Preview – Part VI: Wide Receivers
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011
Of course Calvin Johnson is number one for 2012.
While some of us are already picking out our teams for playoff fantasy football games, there is no better time than now than to start thinking about next year. The 2012 fantasy football rankings began last week, with a look at running backs, and continued to discuss quarterbacks. Now we’ll look at receivers, a position that seems much deeper than last year, yet there are a lot fewer guys you can trust. Everyone is inconsistent so I want a couple good ones that I can play each week. I want two top wideouts in 2012, and I’m willing to spend valuable auction dollars to get them. (more…)
