Fantasy Focus Review: Week 16 Fantasy Football Revisited

Posted on by

Week 16 saw Josh Arsenault take the top spot again, and I’m beginning to think he’s making a run at my fantasy guru crown – not liking it one bit. Week 16 was a tough one, the finals for most fantasy leagues, and a couple key players took a seat, not caring one bit about fantasy implications. However, I mentioned some must-have pickups in my sleeper sections, and I know a couple worked out, pushing some fantasy folks to championships. Here’s the review.

Elite Starters: Guys picked early that I love this week…

1. Fred Jackson – Mr. Jackson had a really down week for a Bills team that got throttled. 6pts…  F-
2. Chris Johnson–  Him and AP tied for 4th this week. And with 26 points they were just a few out of 1st. A
3. Aaron Rodgers – Rodgers actually finished 13th amongst QBs with just 15 fantasy points. Poop. C-
4. Adrian Peterson – My man AP was 4th amongst RBs in Week 16, just 3 fantasy points out of first. A
5. Philip Rivers – Prince Philip was 7 points better than Rodgers, putting up 22, but good for just the 8th QB. B-

Solid Starters: Guys picked in middle rounds that should outplay their ranking/draft position this week…

1. Beanie Wells –15th RB in Week 16, ahead of Benson, Ray Rice, and Jones-Drew. B
2. Ricky Williams– 28th ranked RB in Week 16, I wasn’t impressed with his numbers at all. C-
3. Jason Snelling – I expected Snelling to do lots of work against the Bills, but Buffalo ganged up on the run and limited him to 7 fantasy points. 43rd ranked RB. F
4. Hines Ward – I think Hines has a great game against his favorite foes.
5. Greg Jennings – Tough season, but the upside is against Seattle on Sunday.

Sleeper Starters: Guys ranked low, drafted low or not at all, but I still like them this week…

1. Larry Johnson –Larry had just one fantasy points as I completely whiffed, I thought they’d give Benson a rest, maybe next week! Sorry… F
2. Pierre Thomas – Thomas got hurt, but before going down early, he managed 12 fantasy points. Solid. B
3. Vince Young– Vince finally tallied up a stinker, good for just 7 points and in the high twentys amongst QBs. F
4. Jon Stewart–I give you the #1 ranked fantasy running back in Week 16… Good sleeper indeed. A+
5. Fred Davis– He had just 4 fantasy points as the Redskins got throttled. F

Super Sleepers for Playoff Push…

1. Jerome Harrison – He’s still the best runner in Cleveland, and was ranked 10th getting plenty of carries in Week 16. A+
2. Quinton Ganther – Everyone should have kept sleeping when it came to picking up Ganther. 3 pts. F
3. David Thomas – Thomas had 7 fantasy points before getting hurt, not a bad day for a TE, 16th overall. C+
5. Greg Camarillo – Under 10 fantasy points for the 2nd straight week, miss. D-
6. Deon Butler – The Hawks were almost as terrible as this pick, wait, they were even worse. F

Sit ‘Em Son: I don’t care where they were drafted, I don’t like these guys starting this week…

1. Peyton Manning– There you have it, I said you’d hate or love me, and you better love me for this one. A+
2. David Garrard– 21st amongst QBs, not startable, Matt Moore, Orton, Henne, Alex Smith, and Cassel all played better. A-
3. Reggie Wayne – 63rd overall, you’re welcome for the kind advice here, hopefully it made up for bad advice earlier. A
4. Thomas Jones –Jones finished with 16 fantasy points, 13th amongst RBs, just a couple points behind… D
5. LaDainian Tomlinson– LT. Yeah, I missed on both these guys as a touchdown each certainly helped the fantasy totals. F

Fantasy Focus: Week 11 Fantasy Football Rankings

Posted on by

Alright, it’s getting a little terrible. Josh has won 2 weeks in a row, and I received his fantasy rankings this week entitled, “The Three-peat Rankings” – Puke. Not only did I get dominated last week, I set an all time low for fantasy rankings on my own site, pulling home 4th in every single category. Heartache, pain, suffering – none of that, don’t worry – I’m just downright pissed off at my inability to see the entire board lately. But I’m destined to get back to my winning ways, so why not start this week? You’ve got to believe in your stuff, and confidence has never been an issue for me. Let the games begin! It’s about time someone else started winning Arse. If you three-peat, I’ll send you a present to the darkness!

Elite Starters: Guys picked early that I love this week…

1. Maurice Jones Drew– The Bills allow more yards and touchdowns to running backs than any other team in the NFL. Yep.
2. Chris Johnson – I do actually think the Texans D will play better this time around, but so what, CJ will still do work.
3. Adrian Peterson – Big Backs kill Hawks – it’s very similarly proven to E=MC2.
4. Peyton Manning – I can’t see a better QB option this week, the Ravens secondary should prepare for the worst.
5. Ray Rice– If the Ravens want to beat the Colts for the first time in 7 games, they better feed it to Ray.

Solid Starters: Guys picked in middle rounds that should outplay their ranking/draft position this week…

1. Steve Smith (NYG) – The Giants SS is good to go this week, the Falcons secondary is porous.
2. Rashard Mendenhall – Mendenhall > Kansas City Chiefs.
3. DeSean Jackson – I’m loving DeSean against the Bears secondary. That kind of speed should torch them.
4. Ricky Williams –Ricky moves up from sleeper status because of Ronnie’s injury. I’d be starting him if I had him.
5. Sidney Rice –Tough to go against Rice right now, especially with Seattle in town.

Sleeper Starters: Guys ranked low, drafted low or not at all, but I still like them this week…

1. Justin Forsett – I don’t care if the Hawks are headed up against Minnesota, this kid can find yards if he gets carries.
2. Beanie Wells – Last week I called his best week of the season, I’m going for 2 in a row.
3. Jeremy Maclin –The Bears will see a lot of passes this Sunday Night, Maclin, like Jackson, has that painful speed.
4. LeSean McCoy– McCoy has a good match-up against the Bears, a defensive front that isn’t as scary as they insist.
5. Fred Jackson– It’s a deep trick shot, for sure, but Fred should see his highest touch numbers since Lynch returned.

Sit ‘Em Son: I don’t care where they were drafted, I don’t like these guys starting this week…

1. Joseph Addai– He burned me in the 4th quarter last week, but I think I’m right this time.
2. Derrick Mason– The Pats killed the Colts secondary, but I think the Ravens run too much this week.
3. Jay Cutler – He has the talent to bust out any week, but the Eagles will feast on his mistakes if he plays like Jay Cutler.
4. Roy Williams – The Cowboys won’t have time to mess with the whole #1 receiver game, the Skins have a tough secondary.
5. Matthew Stafford– Don’t start a bad player because of a supposed good match-up, plus the Browns D is better than you think.

***No more Bye weeks, but don’t get caught starting old man Clinton Portis or older man Brian Westbrook – both are definitely out this week, and there’s other’s too! Mind the Doctor!!!

Fantasy Focus: Week 9 NFL Fantasy Football Rankings

The Fantasy Title stayed in house last week, Papa took the top spot but I finished way down at the bottom, and we all know there’s no room for that moving forward. There are some pretty stark differences in our rankings this week, so check them out and see if you can’t find something good to grab at. First thing’s first, you won’t find Jake Delhomme in anybody’s Top 5 – as for the rest, check it out below!

Elite Starters: Guys picked early that I love this week…

1. Maurice Jones Drew – He obviously needs to touch the ball more, KC wishes he wouldn’t.
2. Tom Brady – The Dolphins have a solid front 7, but Tom will be picking on that back four…
3. Larry Fitzgerald – WRs are often tough to predict, but hard not to see Fitz having a big day against the Bears.
4. Reggie Wayne– His awesome routes and great hands, Peyton’s elite accuracy, Reg is basically unstoppable.
5. Pierre Thomas– PT wasn’t a high draft pick, but the guy is a flat out stud and should have a big day against Carolina.

Solid Starters: Guys picked in middle rounds that should outplay their ranking/draft position this week…

1. Matt Hasselbeck – Had surprisingly good numbers last week for how bad the Hawks played. Enter Detroit….
2. Steve Smith (NYG) – Has lost some of that early season luster, but I bet he’s back in action against San Diego.
3. Ryan Grant – Grant should have a big time day against the Bucs, but you’re relying on the Packers actually running the ball.
4. Mike Sims-Walker – After a disappointing Week 8 against a shady pass defense, I think Mike steps back up in Week 9.
5. Ahmad Bradshaw –I like Bradshaw’s chances for big plays against San Diego’s porous defense.

Sleeper Starters: Guys ranked low, drafted low or not at all, but I still like them this week…

1. Nate Burleson – It’s killing me in a couple leagues, but Nate is a better play than T.J. Housh…
2. Julius Jones – He’s not consistent, but he’s the best option the Hawks have, and they will run on Detroit.
3. Steve Breaston – Boobs should be a great play against the Bears, I think Boldin might sit this one out.
4. Alex Smith – Risky? Maybe, but Alex should have some room to throw against the Titans secondary.
5. Jamal Charles – Here come the Jaguars and their run defense, Charles finally gets his shot with LJ out.

Sit ‘Em Son: I don’t care where they were drafted, I don’t like these guys starting this week…

1. LaDainian Tomlinson– I think Sproles will get a little more play in this one, the Giants should be tough on LT.
2. Antonio Bryant– Rookie quarterback, tough corners that play physical, bad day for Bryant.
3. Roy Williams – Still the number one receiver? Not on my fantasy team, that’s for sure.
4. Steve Smith (CAR)– Saints are smart enough to role all coverage to Steve, he should struggle for fantasy points in NO.
5. Matt Forte– Oh Matt, how do you like Jay Cutler now? Arizona’s run D is tough sledding.

***Another Big Bye in Week 9: don’t play Bills, Browns, Raiders (not that you would), Rams, Vikings, or Jets! Mind the mighty Gap!!!
