Posted by Scipio Tex on September 30th, 2009 under Football

Three weeks ago, I recommended some crucial waiver wire pick-ups that were available in most Yahoo leagues.

Fantasy Football: Waiver Wire Wonders

Posted by Scipio Tex on September 9th, 2009 under Football

I'm here to make you money and win you acclaim. Drafts are important, but leagues are won on the waiver wire. The NFL is a marathon, injuries are the rule rather than the exception, and without depth, your brilliant early draft picks don't really matter if you can't stitch together an answer at QB in Week 11 when your guys go down. Trust me - I won my pay league last

Leon Washington Lightens Load, Moves Up Draft Board

Posted by Vasherized on July 13th, 2009 under Football

We'll be taking a closer look at fantasy football drafting strategies in the coming weeks once Scipio returns from Rotowire's First Round Mastery! seminar in Calgary. But you might want to pencil in Leon Washington as a mid-round flier and be sure to start him on days where he goes Rorschach on the Jets locker room. "After we warm up before a game," Washington says, "I gotta take a dump. It's a huge benefit to

Fantasy Football: What We Learned

Posted by dedfischer on December 22nd, 2008 under Football

If you recall, I was toying this offseason with a spreadsheet to rank players for my fantasy drafts.  I leisurely followed my pre-rankings with how things turned out at the end of the season to test the validity.  On running backs, I failed miserably and need to study the final rankings to see if I can find any trends.  On the other hand, the wide receivers seemed to hold a little weight.  I didn't

Fantasy Strategy: Running Backs

Posted by dedfischer on September 24th, 2008 under Football

Now, we've had a little time for things to shake out and my original rankings are all over the place at this point.  Some have worked well like the WR, where I projected Brandon Marshall and Greg Jennings as the best value picks.  And some not so much, like the RB, where I wasn't so high on Frank Gore and Reggie Bush.  However, I do have some pieces to play with and I want to look

Fantasy Football WRs: The Final Big Board

Posted by dedfischer on August 28th, 2008 under Football

I used a similar format for ranking the WRs, but simply tweaked the criteria a little.  I'm not going to do the QBs, TEs, Def or Kickers.  There seems to be a level of consistency with regards to consistently good or consistently shitty and most of you know what you're getting.  You're guess is as good as mine.  Here's the WR criteria: Over 10 Points - consistency was again the most heavily weighted factor; this number was

Fantasy Football RBs: The Final Big Board

Posted by dedfischer on August 27th, 2008 under Football

Time for more Fantasy Football. Also, check out the WR's. I used a method this year of statistical analysis to eliminate some of the crapshoot picks.  It's not the Bible by any means, but it might keep you from drafting Maurice Jones-Drew as anything more than a flex back.  Here are the criteria: Games over 10 fpts/Games Played or Started - guys like Ryan Grant and Ernest Graham didn't see a lot of carries

Fantasy Football Ticker: A Look at Running Backs

Posted by dedfischer on August 3rd, 2008 under Football

I'll start off by saying I have a fucking overwhelmingly gay love for Fantasy Football.  Alright, I said it.  With the season quickly approaching, I find it useful to start a thread that allows the cumulative knowledge of the football brain trust that is  Barking Carnival to share their thoughts.  I've always been a big believer in going heavy on RBs in the early rounds.  I just got lucky last year to be playing two guys with the Romo/TO and Brady/Moss combo

Mack Brown’s Whiff All-Stars

Posted by ChrisApplewhite on March 5th, 2008 under Recruiting

The loss of Russell Shepard got me a-wonderin' about how good a team full of guys that rejected us (or vice versa) would be. So, I've done my best to make a list. Just imagine how good the team of OU or A&M misses would be. Epic.

Chasing Fantasy Role Players on Campus

Posted by BRAGGonUT on August 17th, 2007 under Football

Scipio did a fine job breaking down fantasy football for you NFL junkies. I have no aspirations of such. In fact, I gave up NFL fantasy football the year the Texans got to seven wins. Apropos, I suppose as the Texans and Charlie Casserly gave up on the NFL that same year. I am talking college fantasy football. It is a little known underground sport that only hardcore junkies who also
