Fantasy football: The kids are alright
As an Indianapolis Colts fan, it was brutal to watch even one millisecond of the game on Sunday night against the New Orleans Saints. However, from a fantasy perspective, I was giddy, as some of the Saints put up monster numbers against my favorite team. In week seven, there were many quarterback changes that resulted…
Fantasy football: Bye week and the waiver wire
If anything was more baffling than the post-game ruckus between the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions, it has to be how David Stern is still the commissioner of the dysfunctional National Basketball Association. In case you missed the incident, a scuffle erupted between the two teams because of the coaches. Yep, that is not…
Fantasy football: Watch your offense
Here is an unreal statistic that reflects the craziness of the NFL season: There have been 10 quarterbacks who have had a 400-yard passing game so far this season after only five weeks. The current record for an entire season stands at 13 quarterbacks reaching a 400-yard game. If you own a pass-heavy QB, it…

RotoDawg: Week 2 player watch
Wow, what a weekend of games. Who would have predicted Cam Newton would obliterate Peyton Manning’s passing record for a rookie debut? That happened on Sunday, with Newton throwing for 422 yards. I am sure there will be a flurry of activity on the waiver wire to get Newton but do not be fooled. Guys…
RotoDawg: Week 1 player watch
The season is almost here! Tomorrow the defending champion Green Bay Packers take on the Saints from New Orleans. This game matches up two contenders to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Last year the Packers did just that in winning it all while the Saints flamed out and lost to the Seahawks in…
RotoDawg Week 2: Value Picks
While I sit here in the midst of my keeper league fantasy draft, I wish there was an easier path to victory—something as simple as an Avada Kedavra spell mouthed from the lips of Lord Voldemort. Alas, it never is that easy. Fantasy football is all about capitalizing on value. Essentially, fantasy football is economics—there…
