Lendale White: Solid As A Rock

After trading away for Lendale White in my dynasty league, I was estatic to get such a quality player for 2 2nd round picks and a fourth rounder. The owner wanted to acquire youth/draft picks after trading for aging superstars Brian Westbrook and Ladainian Tomlinson. White was depth for him so I made a move [...]

Impressive Fantasy Players

Immediately after week 8 there’s a few fantasy players that have performed much better than I thought.
Kurt Warner - Usually he plays soft defenses, but against a Carolina D that took everything away from Drew Brees Warner came up with 400 and 2. Granted he had 2 turnovers, but he’s still Kurt Warner.
Tennessee - [...]

Fool me Once Shame on Me; What about 3 Times?

Well Marques Colston, I’m going to take you at your word. It’s not like I have a choice with Brandon Marshall on bye anyways. Here’s the horses mouth: “I fully expected to come in and pick up right where I left off, and obviously that didn’t happen for me, ” Colston said. “But I really [...]

Chad Jackson a Bronco

Remember Chad Jackson - the former second round WR of the Pats - well the Broncos just signed him headed into their bye week. This either means DJax isn’t doing it for Shanahan or their more concerned about Stokely than they let on. It’s not even medium fantasy news, but its definitely interesting.

The Frustration of Fantasy Football

The Rise and Fall of the Fantasy Football Industry

You might be surprised, but you know that big fantasy football site that you think is rolling in the cash - they’re not. Making money as a content provider is hard - I’ve chronicled this before. This wasn’t always the case. Back before the proliferation of information and the boom of fantasy football blogs such [...]
