NFL DFS is back. I had a pretty bad experience last year due to going on a bad-streak right when the news of all the industry screw-ups hit the fan.  When DFS was outlawed in NY, it was actually a blessing.  I watched games without issue, and concentrated on my regular league, and had a great...

What's that, too early, you say? It's only mid-freaking July and training camp hasn't even started? Well, you're entirely correct of course, but I just noticed that Fanduel now has NFL games up for grabs! :excited: Not many games, but a surprising number for being almost two months away...

I wanted to start a thread dedicated to discussing some guys who we as a fantasy community have collectively "written off" before they've been given due time to develop in the NFL. Remember the 3rd year Wide Receiver breakout rule? It was one of the earlier ideas in this golden age of fantasy...

Looking for some discussion on players who you expect to break out not in 2014, but in 2015. So disqualify, e.g., Montee Ball, who appears to be the starter for the Broncos now. Other candidates for breakout in 2014 - Patterson and Rudolph on Norv's Vikings - unless you think they'll need a year...

I've heard stories of a number of teams attempting to emulate the Pats from last year and run an abnormally high number of offensive snaps. Two teams - NE and Detroit - were able to run over 1,100 offensive snaps last year. I think this could represent a genuine innovation that we haven't really...

Trying to fill a last minute vacancy in a 10-team, $200 PPR league that is going into its 5th year. Details as follows: -First place wins $1,000, Second place wins $300. Then every week 1-14, the weekly high score wins $50. -Scoring and lineups = start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 RB/WR flex, 1 TE, 1...

Nice article: http://subscribers.footballguys.com/2012/12cummings_drafttotrade.php The basic idea is to target players who have a soft SOS in the first 4-5 games of the season, hope that a few bust out of the gate, and sell high. I think it's a compelling strategy, but relies on being able to...

It's Christmas Eve! NFL training camp kicks off this week, and it's time for FBGs out there to start keeping an eye on situations across the league. If you are at a camp, reading the local beat writers, or following along via twitter, NFL Network, etc., report back here! I'll add more teams and...

The upside down draft, as popularized on FBGs by Matt Waldman (but by no means strictly attributed to him), encourages drafters to eschew early selections of RBs after the first few studs are off the board. Instead, the strategy advocates targeting 3 top WRs, then getting a solid QB and a top TE...

I couldn't help but noticing that Fox's playing calling on the first and last drive of the game was markedly different from most of the play-calling in between. Only on that first and last drive did Fox show much creativity, but in general he's a conservative and boring coach. Imagine if Tebow...

I know this is a more volatile strategy, but I find myself aiming for this in a few cash leagues I've done lately. If you hit this pair big, and have a decent team around them, you are playoff bound, and if you have a good team around them, perhaps the championship. A nice 2 TD game by the WR1...

there wasn't a thread on the first or second page about peyton hillis... and there really should be! a few points in order: -now number 2 RB overall in PPR -has a chance for 20 total TDs (on pace for 16 rushing and 3 receiving) -he looks like an x-men character when he scores a touchdown...

a few players have really started off fast, or surprised. what do you think the actual season-end numbers will be in comparison to these projections thru 3 or 4 games? and what other players do you think are noteworthy at the 1/4 mark of the season? Record Breaking: Antonio Gates 96/1544/24...

don't forget, starting at 1pm and I assume through the end of 4pm games, NFL RedZone will be available to everyone with the right cable company. You don't have to sign up or anything. If I CAN'T change the channel back to CBS/FOX, then I'll pay up the $50 for the rest of the season. Certainly...

now that we've had a chance to watch some preseason games where the starters played somewhere between a quarter and a half, i think it's safe to start making some judgements. Obviously, caution is warranted because it's only pre-season, but there are some snap judgements to be made here. the...

with so many teams using 2 or 3 RBs, drafting two RBs from the same team is tricky. the numbers are ADP from fantasyfootballcalculator. teams with 2 RBs that could both start as RB2 and RB3/flex occasionally: DWill and Stewart: 22 overall + 45 overall = 67 combined ADP. IMO too expensive to...

what's his deal? he was a regular pre-season "sleeper" for not one but at least two years because of injury.... including one matt waldman. last season was a great roller-coaster. during preseason he was beaten out by none of than Troy Williamson. after he went down in the first game, the...

in 2009 Celek had a pretty nice season, finishing with 76 catches for 971 yards and 8 TDs, good enough for TE4 in my PPR league. however there are some major differences in the 2 games he played with Kolb vs. the 14 he played with McNabb. Celek had three 100+ yard games, two of which came in...

so i was browsing the dynasty rankings of undercover brother and noticed Rice fairly high across the board. Some had him in the second tier while others had him in the first. however as a ray rice dynasty owner, i'm a bit nervous. i see Rice as a *good* running back in an amazing situation...

most mock drafts are what people think will/could/might happen come draft day. instead, this mock is the calls i would make if i were running the show in each draft room, with an admittedly fantasy football lean. im not much of an expert on many of the less-glamourous, non-skill players so i...
