2024 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 1

I’m so happy to have fantasy football back!

We have a fantastic class of rookie quarterbacks, and a handful will start for their teams in Week 1. There are plenty of new faces starting across the league, so make sure to study all the rosters and depth charts before finalizing your lineups this week.

The Baltimore Ravens travel to the Kansas City Chiefs to kick off the season on Thursday Night Football.

Which sleepers are you targeting this season?

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 14

This is the final week of bye weeks, so rosters should be more stable the rest of the season.

The Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles are all out on bye this week.

You could be in need of someone to replace Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle or (maybe) Patriots QB Mac Jones in deeper leagues.

Will Titans QB Ryan Tannehill bounce-back from a bad performance and have a solid fantasy outing against the Jaguars?

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 9

We saw some head-scratching performances last week. Who would have thought Jets backup QB Mike White would put up Madden-like numbers against the Bengals?

The Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Football Team are all out on bye this week.

There were a few major injuries last week that could have affected your fantasy team. You might be looking to replace Titans RB Derrick Henry or Raiders WR Henry Ruggs going forward.

Will Titans RB Adrian Peterson be worth a waive wire pickup?

2020 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 6

COVID-19 continues to be a challenge, but the NFL has been able to move games around so far. One game was cancelled last week and one was moved to Tuesday. Let’s hope this outbreak calms down since delaying games and moving games around will be more difficult later in the year.

We have a pretty good marquee game that will pit Packers QB Aaron Rodgers against Bucs QB Tom Brady. They haven’t played each other a ton in their careers, so it’s nice to see at least one more meeting before one of them call it quits.

There’s no Thursday night games this week, so you can take a couple extra days to tinker with your lineup.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 6 of the 2020 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers.

2020 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 1

Due to the pandemic, we didn’t get any NFL preseason games this year. All of our assumptions about playing time and what role a player will play on a team comes from the beat reporters, analysts and coaches. We know from experience that we will be thrown some curveballs in Week 1.

There was a game of musical chairs this offseason and there are a ton of new starting quarterbacks around the league.

Can Tampa Bay QB Tom Brady (that’s still strange to type) start the season off strong against New Orleans?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Cam Newton of the New England Patriots.

2018 Fantasy Football Rankings – Top 50 Quarterbacks

We are a month away from the start of the 2018 NFL regular season!

You are most likely a couple weeks away from your fantasy football draft, but we want to get you informed early.

The quarterback position can make or break your team. It’s hard to bounce back from a huge whiff at that position. It’s important to select a quality QB2 in case you draft a complete bust.

The 2018 NFL Draft had a handful of rookie quarterbacks selected in the first two rounds. There are a couple that have a shot of starting this season, but it would take an injury (or two) for the rest to throw a pass this season.

Is there a surprise #1 QB ranking?

How Important Are Backup Quarterbacks in the NFL?

There are many factors why a team doesn’t put ‘backup quarterback’ high on their shopping list in the offseason or for the NFL Draft. Teams can be hamstrung by the salary cap, lack of quality draft picks and limited roster spots.

If you look at the 2017 NFL season so far, 14 teams have had to use their backup quarterback on at least one drive this season. Most of those were due to injury and Houston/Cleveland/San Francisco had to change quarterbacks due to ineffectiveness.

Injuries to starting quarterbacks have also wreaked havoc on NFL betting odds for the season. Just last week there were three games that had their betting lines delayed by days due to the questions about a quarterback’s health.

How much equity (roster spot, salary, high draft pick) should an NFL team use on a backup quarterback today?

2016 Fantasy Football Rankings – Top 50 Quarterbacks

People are starting to schedule banquet halls and/or reserve a larger orders of buffalo wings at your local bar in hopes of having the best fantasy football draft of all-time. Others opt to draft online and enjoy the festivities in their boxers.

Both are awesome, but I enjoy buffalo wings a little more than being anti-social.

The quarterback position is extremely deep in fantasy football this season. If you are in a ten-team league, I predict that every team could have a legit #1 quarterback. That hasn’t been the case in many years. There’s always a team or two that ends up with what should be a fantasy backup as their starting QB.

We rank the top 50 quarterbacks and split hairs when deciding spots 40 thru 50.

2015 NFL Team Preview: Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers are a machine with Aaron Rodgers. They have won four-straight NFC North division titles and Rodgers is a perennial MVP candidate.

Green Bay was a touchdown shy of appearing in the Super Bowl last season. They bring nearly everyone back from that team. They also add B.J. Raji, who missed the entire 2014 season after tearing his biceps last preseason.

The Packers look like the table is set for them to have a monster season. Detroit and Minnesota will both battle for a playoff spot, but Green Bay is on a different level right now.

Here is the 2015 NFL team preview for the Green Bay Packers.

Suh Wins Appeal, Will Play on Sunday

Detroit Lions defensive tackle (and celebrity diver) Ndamukong Suh won his appeal and will play in Sunday’s playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Suh had his one-game suspension overturned by appeals officer Ted Cottrell. It came one day after the league suspended him for stepping on Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

His teammate Dominic Raiola was suspended one week ago for stepping on Chicago Bears defensive tackle Ego Ferguson.

Let’s hope this squashes all the conspiracy theories that the NFL was stacking the deck for Dallas to advance. The NFL will get ratings no matter which team plays.

2013 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a good week. I had some really nice hits on the marquee games and only had a few stumbles (NY Jets/Oakland). I now have a 107-74-10 record against the spread so far this season.

It’s a pretty poor slate of games this week. Many games pair two under-performing teams against each other. Last week could possibly be our final week with a full slate of competitive NFL football games. Teams will start benching players in favor of keeping them healthy and a few more teams could further quit on their coaches. There are a few games (Packers/Cowboys & Bears/Browns) that the line could drastically change mid-week depending on the health of their starting quarterbacks. Make sure to keep an eye on the NFL lines at Topbet.eu, which have up-to-date point spreads.

In December, weather reports become more important than ever. Those must be looked at before you make a decision. It is also important to look at division records. If one of the teams in a game has nothing left to play for, it could sway your decision in the right direction.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 15 of the NFL season.

2013 Fantasy Football: Top 25 Quarterback Rankings

It’s never too early to pontificate and post preseason fantasy football rankings.

As you may know, the top of the rankings are full of the usual suspects (Brees, Brady, Manning), but a few new faces pop up at the tail end of our rankings.

Colin Kaepernick is a “sexy” name for fantasy football analysts this offseason, but will he succumb to the ‘Super Bowl Runner-Up Jinx’.

Here are our Top 25 quarterback rankings for the 2013 fantasy football season. Continue reading →
