Rookies Go SPLAT!

I hate to rub it in. But I told you so. (http://www.fantasyfootballgab.com/2010/06/15/r-is-for-rookie-thats-bad-enough-for-me/) Hardesty … done for the year. Ben Tate … done for the year. Matthews .. . hurt. Thomas … hurt. Best … looking GREAT and then BOOM hurt. (And turf toe injuries are the WORST. Don’t expect to see him playing at the [...]

Ryan Torain? Only A Shanahan Shenanigan?

Ryan Torain- seriously? I love Mike Shanahan. He will go down as one of my all time favorite coaches (with the exception of GruDog).  Only Mr. Shanahan can pull a RB who didn’t even play in the NFL last year into fantasy relevance. Torain ran for 46 yards on 7 carries (he outrushed Portis by [...]

Navigating the Injuries for Week 4

Wow. That is all I have to say about all the RB injuries this week. First off, I apologize about my Fred Taylor recommendation. However, there is no way I could have anticipated his injury. It looks like Benjarvus Green-Ellis is now the relevant NE back. Though, to be frank, I am so sick of [...]

The RB Uncertainty Flex Play

There isn’t much to report except for the gluttony of banged up RBS. This leads to some dicey flex plays this week. Moreno is down with a hammy injury (not sure which hammy but I assume it is the same one). My gut says that Buckhalter will see the majority of the carries. Although rotoworld [...]

Flukie’s Fibbets Week 3

I am all about the speculative fantasy football pickup. Trust me when I tell you Hank Baskett isn’t it! Did I pick him up for 4 hours? Yes…but then I realized the more intelligent speculative play was Chris Ivory. Ivory will be the #2 back in NO by next week and with Pierre’s injury history [...]

After Waivers…What Slop Remains?

I didn’t do a post for waivers this week because to be frank? Nothing struck my fancy. Mark Clayton should be off waivers and you should be starting him. Against my better judgement I’m starting Tim Hightower over LT. Gotta ride the hot hand and Clayton and Hightower are hotter then LT. Heck the Redskins [...]

Who Let The Dogs Out?

Brain dead Iggles fans all over the City of Brothery Love are giddy of the latest news that Michael Vick has taken over as starting quarterback. Aren’t these the same dopes who ran McNabb out of town because Kevin Kobb was the “quarterback of the future.” (* See below) Yet, three games into the season [...]

Fantasy Suicide Watch- All Is Not Lost!

It’s one of those days. I went 3-1 this week and most folks would be thrilled. I predicted Josh Freeman would have a good week (20+ pts).  I should be giddie.  I’m not most folks. I pride myself at being great at fantasy play. Fact is….I’m good but not great. I lost in my obsession league [...]
