For Fantasy Sake

This about sums up the way I felt after forgetting to swap T.Y. Hilton out of my  lineup that was about 30 points off from winning a GPP that would've been a $20,000 payday. It happened.  I had a chance to win a GPP in Week 4. One of my few tournament lineups I played scored 200.8 points, and placed me 394th out of 297,265 entrants in the $250K First Down.  Not a great win, but it's usually not a HORRIBLE position to finish in like it was for me this weekend.  After the For Fantasy Sake live show -- 10-11:30 a.m. on QCSportsNet.com at Kavanaugh's Hilltop Bar & Grill ... #ShamelessPlug -- I was rushing home so my lovely significant other could get out the door to teach a one-on-one dance solo to one of her students.  During that very same For Fantasy Sake show -- did you see the links above? you need to see the links above -- we went through the gambit of actives and inactives. During that segment, we confirmed T.Y. Hilton was, in fact...

We likely saw Cam Newton's worst game of the season in Week 1, so now is the  perfect time to go make a trade offer to buy him while he's cheap.   It's hard to not fall victim to the overreaction theater that is the NFL after just one week. You've waited so long for the season to finally be back, put in tons of hours researching and reading -- hopefully my stuff, because, let's face it, these takes are fire -- all the news on your players, so it feels like you know EVERYTHING. I'm here to tell you: You don't. So making trades after one week of action ... not always the best thing to do. But if you're itching to pull the trigger on a deal and need your trade fix, here are three options to trade FOR, and three options to trade AWAY. Trade For Cam Newton, QB, Carolina Panthers We probably saw Cam’s worst game of 2019. He didn’t look good at all. Granted, I’m not a big believer in drafting QBs high or trading much away for them, but I think...

It took a bit too long for the Bills to turn the game  over to Devin Singletary in Week 1, but once he got  action he looked good. Will he see enough volume  week to week to be a viable fantasy option? After just one week of football being behind us, it seems no team is exempt from having questions surrounding them. We've got team-by-team breakdown from all 32 teams and what their biggest storyline or concerns are after Week 1.  Arizona Cardinals: Can Kyler Murray be a season-long QB1 in 12 teams leagues? He was QB11 in Week 1 in a tie against the Lions, but it took a him half to get his feet under him. Murray threw the ball for 308 yards and two scores, but had just 13 yards rushing. I would expect the passing yards go down, but the rushing yards go up, keeping him in the conversation most of the season. Atlanta Falcons: Will the Falcons have a running game? The Vikings defense is really good, they allowed just 12 fantasy points to Devonta Freeman and...

If I told you Sammy Watkins would be the highest-scoring player on the DraftKings  main slate on Sunday, you wouldn't have believed me.  Hell, I wouldn't have even believed me. But he was.  So with an early look at DK pricing, who will be this week's Watkins? If you followed some of the Week 1 DraftKings plays suggested like, say, Sammy Watkins, Lamar Jackson and DeSean Jackson, you just won all the money. But, uh, you know, just forget about the Tevin Coleman, Cam Newton and Todd Gurley calls. Although Week 1 isn't officially in the books, the lovely people at DraftKings always put out the coming-week's pricing before Monday night games.  Every Monday, we'll have a preliminary look at the next week's DK prices and list a handful of players who stick out based on matchup, price, injury news, etc.  Again, this is for the DraftKings Sunday main slate ONLY. So don't go asking about Thursday or Monday guys. Because, guess what? Not answ...

It's finally upon us. Like, just HOURS away. The NFL season is finally back. Not only is it happening, but it's happening in big-time fashion. What do we get as the first course of the 16-course Week-1 meal? Packers. Bears. Primetime. How's THAT for a kickoff to the NFL's 100th anniversary season? Not bad ... not bad at all. It was this very same matchup that kicked off last year, with Aaron Rodgers returning from a knee injury to erase a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit by throwing three TDs to stun the Bears. Err, that should've read "with incredibly drugged-up Aaron Rodgers" ... I mean, come on, how awesome was that postgame interview? Obviously, the typical sports cliches apply here: It's a different team, it's a new season, yada, yada, yada. Yeah, those are all true, so let's get into some stuff that people actually give a crap about. Bears DAVID MONTGOMERY! That's every Bears fan. Just straight yelling about h...
