Disaster Recovery - Week 16's Studs Turned Duds
Coming up big in Week 16 could make a fantasy manager your fan for life. Alvin Kamara certainly won leagues and hearts all over the world with his Week 16 outing. So did Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs, Josh Allen, and others. These guys weren't under-the-radar players forced into the lineups with fingers crossed. These were... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 15's Studs Turned Duds
Week 15 could have been your league's semifinal matchup. It may have been the first half of your two-week championship. It's also possible that Week 15 was the end of a regular season that (unfortunately) utilizes Week 17 games to determine the ultimate fantasy football prize. Whatever the case, everything is on the line each... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 14's Studs Turned Duds
The fantasy football playoffs are when managers need the most luck and yet the stakes are highest. During the regular season, there is time to tinker and adjust rosters to find reliable players. By now, those players need to perform up to their standards else managers risk being bounced. That's where the luck comes in.... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 13's Studs Turned Duds
With another Tuesday contest in Week 13, we are in uncharted territory when it comes to the fantasy playoffs. Waivers and transactions are pushed back a day, games get slid around the schedule, and obviously, players keep getting sidelined due to positive tests. While one stud may finally return to fantasy lineups next week, others... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 12's Studs Turned Duds
Week 12 was a weird and uncompromising group of games in the NFL. There were unexpected upsets, blowouts, and postponements. Heck, it's Wednesday, and the slate of games isn't even over yet. Besides Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh being stuck in an endless delay loop that has pushed back and altered Week 13, we saw Denver play... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 11's Studs Turned Duds
As we head into the NFL's premiere showcase, Thanksgiving Thursday, the league standings are a massive quagmire. Week 11 did little to settle things. Miami made up no ground on Buffalo atop the AFC East. In fact, the entire division is on a losing streak. Cleveland is now ahead of Baltimore, yet the point differentials... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 10's Studs Turned Duds
Week 10 was a welcome reprieve. There was little disappointment around fantasy circles when it comes to studs coming up short. After all, it's hard to be disappointed when you've lost all confidence to begin with. Just look at the tight end position. There was no stud who came up short in Week 10 because... Read More
Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 11
The countdown to Thursday is on and this week we have a spectacular matchup. Since last week was very underwhelming for fantasy, this game couldn’t come at a better time. So far in the TNF breakdowns, I have covered games involving Brett Rypien, Nick Mullens, and Joe Flacco - I can’t tell you how excited... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 9's Studs Turned Duds
The outdated thought in fantasy was that running backs carry the top end of a team, while the depth of wide receiver allowed managers to use many more options from that position. The latter remains true, but the former no longer is. There is no top end of the running back position. In Week 9,... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 8's Studs Turned Duds
Halfway through the 2020 NFL season, things are getting repetitive. Once again, Michael Thomas doesn't play, along with nearly a dozen elite running backs. This siphoning of the RB position leaves the following people atop scoring leaderboards for the week: Giovani Bernard, DeeJay Dallas, Nyheim Hines, Jordan Wilkins, Zack Moss, Jamaal Williams, Justin Jackson, Damien... Read More
Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 8
We had the pleasure of watching tremendous matchups for both fantasy and reality in Week seven. With a multitude of tight games (Pittsburgh-Tennessee, Seattle-Arizona, Cleveland-Cincinnati) and individual fantasy explosions (Devante Adams, Tyler Lockett), last week had it all. Week eight starts with one of the best Thursday Night Matchups of the season for fantasy purposes.... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 7's Studs Turned Duds
Every week is a bad week for injuries in the NFL. As the non-Michael Thomas wide receivers finally return to lineups around the league, running backs hit the bench. Christian McCaffrey remains out. Aaron Jones, Joe Mixon, and Miles Sanders also hit the sidelines this week. They remain joined by Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb, Austin... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 6's Studs Turned Duds
Week 6 was a pretty low scoring fantasy week for the top players in the league. If not for two Monday night heavy-hitters, only three running backs would have reached 18 points in PPR this week. Even still, just five got there. (In Week 5, 14 players reached that mark. In Week 4, 16 players.)... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 5's Studs Turned Duds
As we push past the quarter mark of the 2020 NFL season, it gets harder and harder to keep track of the maturations created by COVID. Games are getting rescheduled, pushed, and canceled. Teams are being given last-minute bye weeks that alter the future schedule in half a dozen or more different ways. We gain... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 4's Studs Turned Duds
In Week 4 of the NFL season, the action on the field took a backseat to the questions and caution off it. Due to positive coronavirus tests, one game was postponed until later in the season, and another was delayed a day. Even separate from all the drastic and dramatic health and safety issues these... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 3's Studs Turned Duds
The NFL was low on studs in Week 3. The top two players in fantasy, Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley, were both out injured. Three of the top wide receivers in football, Julio Jones, Davante Adams, and Michael Thomas, were all out as well. We also were without the second-best tight end in the game... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Week 2's Studs Turned Duds
The NFL season has begun essentially without a hitch. It was a large undertaking of which many were dubious. We have a long way to go, but so far, things have been smooth. The general scope and overall execution of the league, though, is different than specific action on the field. And Week 2 on... Read More
Disaster Recovery - Stud Turned Dud
The first week of the NFL season is in the books. We weren't sure if the 2020 season would start on time. We weren't sure what the games would look or feel like. We still aren't sure if all 17 weeks will go ahead as planned and if the season will reach its normal conclusion.... Read More
There Are Some New Starting Quarterbacks. Does It Matter?
This was supposed to be the year of the quarterback. The position was deeper than it had arguably ever been, and fantasy owners who usually waited to take a quarterback were extremely excited that they could get the caliber of quarterback late in drafts that were available. But football isn't played on paper and injuries,... Read More
