NFL Value Index - Wild Card Week

While I cherish the NFL regular season, the next two weeks are some of the best sports on television. I love the first two weeks of the NFL playoffs. Two games on Saturday, then two games on Sunday. It's the most wonderful time of the year…

NFL Value Index - Week 12

A silver lining for Thanksgiving 2017 - the food was great. Football, DFS, my Dallas Cowboys? Puke. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and got their fill in food and in the DFS leaderboards. While Thanksgiving's 3-game slate was the start…

NFL Value Index - Week 11

Tuesday afternoon brought upon somewhat of a somber feel to Cowboys fans, at least those who have loved Tony Romo since the day he claimed the starting job.   If you missed it, Romo delivered one of the classiest sports speeches you may…

NFL Value Index - Week 7

Let's play a quick one-question round of football Jeopardy. Answer: Jay Ajayi, Cody Kessler, Kendall Wright, Ty Montgomery, Torrey Smith, Case Keenum and Golden Tate. What's the question? Who are the spare NFL players that unexpectedly…

NFL Offensive Tendencies – Week 6

Last week I had a “gut call” on an Amari Cooper breakout which went well (could have been even better if he could just stay in bounds) and a sneaky shootout between the Titans and Dolphins where at least the Titans lived up too, including…

I have rewritten this intro this week at least four times. I have not liked what has spewed from my fingertips, so instead let's talk about the Dallas Cowboys (where my allegiance lies0 for a moment. They are doing something pretty great,…

Injuries, injuries, injuries. That was one of the big storylines from Week 2 of the NFL season with numerous players exiting early due to some kind of ailment. While the injury bug took its toll on my Top Plays from last week it did the same…

NFL Value Index - Week 3

NFL Value Well, damn, that escalated quickly. In my season-long leagues, especially PPR leagues, I avoided taking RBs early. I knew injuries would happen and I could snag a few guys off the waiver wire. But I expected that to happen maybe…

NFL Value Index - Week 2

Week 1 is in the books and already some notable injuries will impact your Week 2 lineup construction. The biggest injury goes to Keenan Allen (are you surprised he's hurt though?) who tore up his knee against the Chiefs. I hate to see him hurt…

Offensive Tendencies - Week 12

Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday with the three “F’s” (Family, Food, and Football). The last couple of years I have added a fourth “F” to the list, Fantasy. I really enjoy building a few Thanksgiving daily fantasy football…

Offensive Tendencies - Week 11

I expect this week to be more “normal” compared to last week. This week there are a lot of evenly matched offensives and defenses, which resulted in a limited number of games with significantly increased opportunities. The two matchups that…
