For Fantasy Sake

Leonard Fournette may have finally reached the $7,000 mark but he's still far too cheap .   My journey into the journalism world began with my love of sports. Writing sports was my passion. It was what I loved to do. My life, in fact. I wanted to be known for my writing. Published everywhere. The biggest papers in the country, the largest websites and featured on the million-viewer sports analysis shows. What I've learned about journalism and media, however, as I've gotten older, is that it's not about your byline or the amount of followers you have on social media, or even the amount of words you're allotted in a publication. Rather, it's about what you do WITH those words. Making those words have real impact. Using your byline in a way that can bring attention to causes and people who aren't million-dollar athletes or NFL superstars.  No. There are things that are bigger than football. And this is one of them. Dakovion Kennedy, a soph...

It's unbelievable to have to write this down in actual words, but Josh Allen comes into Week 7 as the No. 5 highest-priced QB ($6,500). In a home game against Miami, and coming off a bye, he might be worth paying up for.  After a week that saw some of the biggest top-end scores I remember seeing on DraftKings.com , Week 6 allowed us to come back down to earth. There was only one 40-point scorer on the main slate -- Stefon Diggs of all people. The narrative that surrounded the Vikings for the past two weeks all but spelled doom and gloom for Diggs. Hearing all of the drama he had been involved in with requesting a trade, and stoking the flames more by giving some open-ended answers to reporters and cryptic social media posts. That being the long way of saying, we probably should've seen this coming. The industry was on Mike Evans a few weeks back after the price had dropped to a point where it was just obvious to play him. Now, there's no way we could've pre...

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...
