The Fantasy Audible

It’s time to trade both Jimmy Graham and Adrian Peterson. You can still get a ton for AD and Jimmy’s stock is taking a huge dive.  I recently traded him (Jimmy Graham) for TJ Yeldon and a 14 team PPR keeper league and I made the offer before Yeldon got injured and wanted to revoke it. I didn’t. This week he’s gotten me 25 points and Graham had 5.1 (31 yards) and I couldn’t be happier.  Peterson…

Don’t bother with Theo Riddick

Don’t bother with Theo Riddick. In fact, don’t bother with the Detroit Lions as a unit.  Let’s face it. The Lions are at the bottom of the league and will be for the rest of the season. They might even go 0-16 if Stafford can’t get his head out of his ass. The fact remains that the Lions haven’t had a good/great running back since Barry. Enter Ameer Abdullah. He was a hot commodity coming into…

Christine Michael vs. Joseph Randle

Here we go again. Christine Michael, the most talked about fantasy player (over the past 3 years) with the smallest body of work, has become a hot topic once again. His potential and pre-season highlight film from two years ago has continued to keep him in the talks of a ‘break-out’ fantasy candidate. Then, you may ask, was he dealt from Seattle to Dallas this year? If you’re a Joseph Randle…

Should you trade Devonta Freeman? Yes and No.

This is the time of year that trades happen. A lot. Trades, in my years playing fantasy football, have always been the determining factor in whether or not I win a championship. If you’re an Eddie Lacy owner, hold on to him. If you’re a Devonta Freeman owner, i’d sell high on him. His value is as high as it will ever be. I’m not suggesting that his talent isn’t elite. I am suggesting that if…

Why Daily Fantasy Football Ruins Us All

I’ve been away for quite a while. It’s been quite a while since I wrote about Fantasy Football. The point is, no matter how long I’m away, I always have something to say. I’d have to say that this year is a great year to be involved. I’m not one for these daily fantasy sites like #FanDuel or #DraftKings. I think they take away from the point of fantasy football—the skill and stats. I’m not one to…

A few weeks ago, I wrote about not taking Wes Welker in the draft. However, I ended up taking him. I took him with my 4th Round pick in my 12-team standard league (3WR) so I could closely monitor him. With that said, I also picked up Cody Latimer to stash on my bench. I think Welker will add some value for the first few weeks, but after that, I think he’s burnt toast. I have some other guys I’d…

Do Not Draft: Big Name Guys @Rotowire @JameyEisenberg #FantasyFootballBusts

Every year, a few big names fall from grace. I’m not saying that all of these will, but these are the picks for such candidacy. This season, I plan on avoiding a few people in my drafts due to one reason or another. These are who I’m avoiding.

  Wes Welker (DEN) – He was born on the same day as I was, that’s why I’m a fan. That, and he’s been good to me in the past. However, this year seems to be…

Under the radar #FantasyFootball RBs @JameyEisenberg #FantasyFootball

Latavius Murray  (OAK) – Murray is currently third on the depth chart behind Run-DMC and MJD, but let’s face it. Those two are at the end of their ropes, and while they might start the year out as the primary backs in this offense, Murray presents an interesting scenario. Murray was out his entire rookie season on IR with an ankle injury, but there’s a good chance that he could get more and more…

Ray Rice Suspended for First Two Games of Season

Adam Schefter reports that Ray Rice will be suspended for the first two games of the season. I can’t say this comes as a surprise, as Rice continues to trend down. In looking at RBs for the draft this year, Rice is someone to avoid in the earlier rounds or even 5-8. He might be worth a late round pick, but this year is Bernard Pierce’s year to shine, he’s holding all the cards. It’s kind of…

Andre Johnson to Cleveland? #FantasyFootball @Browns #FFBTalk @JameyEisenberg

There is a chance Andre Johnson could be in a different uniform next season.

The cloud of speculation that has been surrounding Andre Johnson this offseason has been quite interesting. There are a few possible destinations that have been thrown around. The most likely suitors are the Patriots, Browns, Seahawks, Panthers, Ravens, Jets and Chiefs. These are all interesting destinations for the Pro…

Markus Wheaton – Sleeper WR

The cat looks like it’s out of the bag. Everyone is starting to catch the wave of hype that surrounds Markus Wheaton, the WR for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wheaton is a great talent and has recently been compared to Randy Moss due to his ‘hands’ and his potential. I dislike comparisons like that, especially when talking about players at opposite ends of the spectrum. However, sometimes it’s…

Deep Sleeper: Richard Rodgers – TE

Every year, I find a diamond in the rough off waivers. Literally, every year. I found Willie Parker a decade ago and went on to run the table, I was the first to start DeSean Jackson as a rookie (thanks for dropping that TD ball just before the goal line in your first game) and I was along for the ride when Peyton Hillis went from zero to hero in Denver and Cleveland. I spotted Eddie Royal as a…

12-team Mock Draft – Lacy goes #4

Last night I kicked off (sorry for the pun) the NFL Fantasy preseason by drafting in two ESPN mock drafts, both 12-team leagues. I had Pick 4 in the first draft and the 1st overall pick in the second mock draft. Let’s discuss this interesting pick at 4.

Draft #1 – Pick 4:

In the first draft, the first five rounds played out as I would have expected. It is typical draft strategy at pick four to…
