Fantasy Football: Where is the Love for Marques Colston?
By Kyle Wachtel The New Orleans Saints selected Marques Colston in the 7th round of the 2006 NFL Draft. Since then he has been the epitome of consistency, yet he continues to be overlooked as a high-end wide receiver in fantasy football.

2013 2-QB Fantasy Football League Draft Strategy
In a piece by JJ Zachariason from for Rotoworld, JJ had the following to say about quarterback draft strategy: “Traditionally, the 12th quarterback in a 12-team draft gets selected in the middle of the 8th round.

XN Sports February Mock Draft: The Fall of Megatron
The Lions forcefed him in a desperate and ultimately meaningless push for the NFL receiving record, Matthew Stafford’s mechanics make him a mediocre signal caller, and, well, 2012 was a whole lot of luck: These are the reasons Calvin Johnson is inexplicably trickling out of the first rounds of fantasy football’s earliest mock drafts.

For that reason, I think it’s helpful to look at which tight ends did the most with the snaps they were given in the final eight weeks of last season, if only to give […]
Has David Wilson Been Freed? Yes. No. Maybe.
Half the fantasy world has its shovel firmly in the dirt, ready to bury that infernally regretful call to running back action, #FreeDavidWilson. The other half, of course, is prepared – giddy, even – for that hashtagged cry to the fake football deities to live on. The Giants on Wednesday afternoon released their creaky-footed longtime […]
Ray Lewis Ironic Lecture on ‘Tricks of the Devil’
SI.com broke the news of Lewis’ use of what may or may not be an effective performance-enhancing alternative to steroids, but that’s not the real story. The real story is that the mainstream media refuses to take Lewis down from his pedestal. They refuse to paint him the way he should be painted, and they […]
A Fevered Fantasy Football Brain
My eyelids flung open at 3:13 a.m., and all I could think of – with the fog of sleep swept away by the churning machine of my anxiety – was Jermichael Finley. It was the wee hours of a Wednesday during football season, which, for me and millions like me, means precisely one thing: Waiver […]
