The scramble is on for fantasy football players that used their first round pick on Tom Brady. The NFL's Golden Boy is done for the year with a serious knee injury, and the reality and fantasy worlds of football are saying the same thing: "What in the heck just happened?"
An injury...

I officially started my fantasy football season this week when I signed up for the first of my usual run of three of four teams. Nothing fancy, just a free league team on ESPN.com (my FFL host of choice)
I generally play free leagues because I tend to get dirty looks around the house when I drop...

I’m finally shaking off the last bits of my post-draft meditative coma and it’s high time to get my football blog on. A lot has happened since the fantasy football season ended in January. Free agents signed some deals, some big trades were made and some even bigger trades...

We've got some ugly games on the slate for this week. It's hard to get too excited for games like Dolphins-Eagles, Raiders-Vikings, Rams-49ers or Cardinals-Bengals, but that's where fantasy football comes in. Let's take a look at why these otherwise horrible games matter on the fantasy front....

This was a rough weekend for people that listened to me for fantasy advice. The Advocate's intrepid education reporter Bj Lewis asked me if he should go with LaDainian Tomlinson or Adrian Peterson in his single-RB league. I told him that he couldn't go wrong either way, but that I though...

Week 10 has some interesting fantasy match ups to offer. Can Adrian Peterson keep up his record pace against the Packers? Who's the better QB in the Philadelphia-Washington game? Where do you turn for gimme points with the Patriots on a bye? Let's take a look.
Straight Money: Yeah the Packers...

One could talk about BIg Ben Roethlisberger's five-TD night against the Ravens, or Drew Brees' 445 passing yards against Jacksonville, but those games whimper in the mighty shadow of Adrian Peterson.
Peterson ran for an NFL-record 296 yards against the Chargers, leading the Vikings to a huge...

Well I missed my preview blog due to scheduling conflicts (a.k.a. two sick kids), but they're better, which is more than can be said for the football this weekend. We had some real stinkers. I guess that whole parity thing has gone out the window.
Detroit 16, Chicago 7: This one of those game...

OK, so I'm a day late. Sue me. I'm sure all five of you that actually read this were doubled over with withdrawl pains yesterday. My combined mourning for the Texans and Monday was too soon to relive that stinkfest of a loss.
Vikings 34, Bears 31: This was a bad mark on an otherwise good...

I groaned a little when I started going through this week's games to make my picks. There are a lot of bad teams playing each other, which makes for unpredictable scenarios. It's also going to make for some interesting fantasy matchups and any true fantasy fanatic knows it's all about the...

Fantasy owners were sent into a scramble over the last couple of days with the news that both Arizona QB Matt Leinart and Carolina QB Jake Delhomme were placed on injured reserve, ending their respective seasons. There were also some less impactful injuries like Tampa Bay RB Michael Pittman...

Kickers had great games on Sunday, which means there was a lot of ugly offense going around. This could spell a loss for plenty of teams (my ACFFL squad included). So without further dealy, let's get to the ugliness.
Titans 20, Falcons 13: Let the rush to pick up Byron Leftwich begin. Leftwich...

It looks like another big-time running back is about to bite the dust. Cadillac Williams blew out his knee last week and it looks like Travis Henry is about to go away, too. A Denver TV station reported recentlythat Henry tested positive for marijuana. If that ends up being the case, Henry is...

I'll be the first to admit that most fantasy sports regulars are pretty big nerds (myself included). I'll also freely admit that some of the terminology associated with fanatasy sports can be taken the wrong way by those not in the know.
For example, my wife can walk through the room while...

Colts:
