Unfortunately, my wife's employer is cutting her hours and she won't qualify for health insurance.  This would not be problematic if we were closer to the new year (will switch to my company) but it is a major headache to address this potential gap.  Also, we have essentially met the annual...

Indulge me with my daily thoughts on the Coronavirus: Who better to start with than the man that said "send lawyers, guns and money - the #### has hit the fan"? Stay safe

Still waiting to see one live

I don't remember this degree of transition at the QB position.  The fate of a franchise can hinge on QB play.  It seems the competitive balance of the league is being reshaped in a brief interval.  Andrew Luck shocked a franchise with his early retirement.  Philip Rivers and Tom Brady both look...

Jerry Rice, Isaac Bruce, Marvin Harrison, Antonio Brown come to mind...   WRs that dominated the game with hard work, toughness and attention to craft - a combination of production and longevity that dominated the NFL and fantasy leagues.  There have been others with incredible physical gifts...

The combination of byes and injury have left me without a TE on the field for week 5...  As you would expect, the only free agent TE that I recognize is Slim Pickens.  Looking for a grab and play one week option.  Both Gates and Swaim were grabbed during the waiver run.  The two Cincy TEs are...

In the Coleman thread, Dez made the comment "2016 draft starting to look like a train wreck for most everyone's top rated WR's Treadwell, Coleman and Doctson was most people's 1-2-3 rated WR's in some order.".   I thought this deserved its own thread since I've noticed this isn't isolated to...

I watched such an auction years ago during the heyday of the 49ers but the money involved was well above my means.  Basically, they had an uncapped auction where people could bid on and buy a play-off team.  The heavily favored 49ers would go for thousands of dollars.  As I recall, they also...

Trade deadline later this week in a deep keeper league and I'm probably a looooong shot to make the play-offs.  Thinking of trading some RB depth, which is not keeper caliber, to acquire OJ Howard or Njoku from a contender.   Owners of both are deep at TE and would probably do the deal.  Either...

I don't play in an auction bid format but, every year, I'm shocked by how many people are willing to spend all (or most) of their budget on one guy very early in (or even before) the season.  Sometimes these guys are even lower profile but suddenly given an opportunity due to injury.  And, as we...

Acquired Eifert cheaply as damaged goods last year with the thought that I could transition from the reliable Greg Olsen to Eifert in a league where I can keep a single TE. Olsen continued to be reliable - although he cooled some after a hot start.  The oft injured Eifert did nothing to shake...

Keeper League - Team acquiring Isaiah Crowell and Ty Montgomery has virtually no RBs. Expect the 1.03 to land McCaffrey, Mixon or Davis.  TE Howard probably available at 1.11. Fair trade?  Which side do you prefer?

From ESPN: The proposal, which could be voted on next week by NFL owners, moves the line of scrimmage to the 20-yard line for any touchback where the kick sails through the uprights. Touchbacks on kickoffs currently place the ball at the 25-yard line after last year's rule change.  The reason...

If the other 30 owners could vote on it (ala a crappy fantasy league), would they veto the deal?  The NFL doesn't allow trading a player for cash...  This is on that slippery slope.  Another angle is are the Browns violating the spirit of the salary cap floor? Personally, I love the...

So who was that waiver wire acquisition that made a big difference this year?  Perhaps Jordan Howard?  He was drafted in my leagues but imagine he was an early season acquisition for many.  Cameron Meredith was big for me but that is just based on his play-off run.  He certainly wasn't a guy you...

We always draft just before the season but other dynasty/deep keeper leagues draft soon after the NFL Draft.  Some even like to draft before then... Although Zeke is entrenched at the 1.01, people's draft boards probably look a lot different today than they did in April.  The receivers have...

Just saw this during Chiefs/Bears... Not sure how long this will keep him out.  Big fantasy implications from Dez to Zeke to Dak. 

My first thought is the NFL site is probably over-priced but the safest bet to avoid a hassle. But they don't appear to carry a Maclin Chiefs jersey in white. Several sites claim to be the the official site of the Chiefs. Any recommendations? I want a good quality jersey from a reputable source.

OK, we know SB Sunday is a national holiday. But what other sporting events will you make it a point to watch every year? 1) MLB All-Star Game. Before I discovered beer and girls (yes, that order), baseball was my first love. Life got too busy and I don't have time to follow it as I did when...

Texans have given AJ permission to seek a trade... They intend to release him if a trade partner isn't found. He is scheduled to make $10M next season. 34 by the start of next season, one would think he has some left in the tank a good QB could help him improve his 2014 numbers (85/936/3) Got...
