Every fantasy draft has a moment where everything is turned upside down with a pick that makes everyone go "HUH?" In my league it came in the fourth pick of a ten team draft. The guy picking third, who consequently fell into Adrian Peterson thanks to a similar "WOW" m...

So after winning my league Super Bowl following the 2006 season, I quit playing Fantasy Football these last two seasons. Honestly, I must say I have NOT missed it. It’s nice to enjoy football for what it is, and not end up screaming at the TV and ruining a Sunday over s...

These tips are mainly for point-only leagues in Yahoo. Rule 1: Stat values have got to be set fairly to attract players. No one is going to stay in your league if you have 1 point per yard assigned to every position. QB's have astronomical yards compared to RB's. D...

If you're still in the fantasy football playoffs, then that means you've made it all the way to the championship game. Congratulations! Now get your head on straight so you can make out your final (and best) fantasy lineup. Weeks like this sometimes involve more than...

It’s pretty hard to find a fantasy football diamond in the rough this late in the season. That said, sometimes fortune will smile on discerning fantasy owners, especially in leagues with a relatively high number of teams or a relatively low number of ignorant competitor...

Yeah, I said it. The Atlanta Falcons' Harry Douglas is a waiver-wire hero. In fact, he may be the epitome of a discerning fantasy waiver-wire acquisition. Coming off an electrifying Week 12 performance that saw him score two touchdowns (including a 61-yard punt return)...

It's the stretch run in fantasy football and some participants have mailed it in because they know there's no hope of making the playoffs. Others, meanwhile, are right in the thick of a race for the postseason in their respective leagues. The key to positioning yourse...

Before trashing this writer’s fantasy football prowess for even suggesting that one should pick up Minnesota Vikings quarterback, consider how consistent Gus Frerotte has been since being inserted into the starting lineup in September. Frerotte has thrown for a touchdo...

With half the NFL season (and perhaps even more in the fantasy game) more or less gone, a great number of us, thanks to injuries to key players, can now surrender their chances in 2008 fantasy football and thus invest the weekly hours of toil and research into something...

Miami Dolphins starting quarterback Chad Pennington has delivered some impressive feats since arriving in South Florida in August. He picked up the offense in roughly a week or two, despite joining the team midway through the preseason. In the regular season, he’s helpe...

New England Patriots reserve running back Kevin Faulk is well-respected in NFL circles because of his knack for making big plays in crucial spots. Sadly, his success in real-life football hasn’t transferred into the realm of fantasy football. Or has it? On Sunday, tak...

Fantasy football success is often tied to timely waiver-wire acquisitions. This is especially true for owners who don’t have a top-tier defense on their roster. When analyzing your options at 'DST', it’s often as important to scout the opposing offense as it is to brea...

Despite backing up starter Willis McGahee, Baltimore Ravens running back Le’Ron McClain managed to make discerning fantasy football owners very happy in Week 5. The second-year pro rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown on just 11 carries, also catching two passes for 12 y...

Fantasy football owners who were savvy enough to grab wide receiver Lance Moore off the waiver wire last week are likely dancing a jig today. That's because the little-known New Orleans Saints wideout had a career game Sunday playing in place of the banged-up David Patt...
