by Cameron Dark
As you are likely well aware, Week 7 claimed the feet, ankles, hamstrings, and other body parts of many a RB. With other RBs already out for some period of time (LeGarrette Blount, Peyton Hillis, Felix Jones, and Jahvid Best) as well as the bye weeks upon us, you were probably already runningRead the Rest…

Week 3 Wonders

by Cameron Dark
Week 3 brought us some eye popping fantasy performances from some unexpected places. Of course, most of these guys are now hot pickups on the waiver wire, as owners pick them up in hopes that they become viable fantasy options. You know how it goes. Many times, however, there’s a reason these relativelyRead the Rest…

Is Ryan Fitzpatrick For Real?

by Cameron Dark
By now I’m sure you know about Ryan Fitzpatrick, leader of the dynamic offense that is the Buffalo Bills (when was the last time “dynamic” and “Bills” were in the same sentence?!?).

Use ‘Em and Lose ‘Em

by Jared Smola
When it comes to fantasy defenses, I say screw ‘em!  They’re incredibly volatile from year-to-year, and you can almost always find a top-10 unit on the waiver wire.
That’s why we recommend waiting until one of the last couple rounds of your draft to snag a defense.  Take just one and then play theRead the Rest…
