2012 Weekly Fantasy Sports: Football and Basketball

January 23rd, 2012

It looks like we get to see the Giants and Patriots in yet another super bowl game. The 2012 fantasy football season is finally winding down to a close with the super bowl and pro bowl being the last two games of the fantasy season. Those of you in the fantasy football playoff challenge games are reaping good benefits if you chose any Patriots or Giants players.

Sunday against the 49ers, Eli Manning completed 32 passes on 58 attempts for 316 yards, 2 touchdowns and no picks. Joe Flacco tried his hardest and led the day with Eli Manning, throwing for 306/2/1. Had Lee Evans held onto that late second touchdown pass from Joe Flacco like a falling baby, then maybe we’d be seeing the Ravens and Giants on Super Bowl Sunday instead, but oh well, that’s football for you.

Victor Cruz, once again, had yet another stellar outing. He caught 10 clutch balls for 142 yards. Vernon Davis also showed up to play once again, catching only 3 passes, but for 112 yards and 2 touchdowns. He had a long of 73 yards. Finally, VD’s speed is being utilized the way we all envisioned on his draft day! Anquan Boldin tried desperately to get his team in scoring position late in the 4th quarter with several big catch and runs. He finished his day with 6 catches for 101 yards.

On to 2012 fantasy basketball, Dirk Nowitzki will miss about 4 games in order to get his so-called conditioning in check. I do think that with the shortened season, we are seeing some weird things this year. When has Dirk ever missed time due to conditioning issues? Spencer Hawes started out hot, but now is becoming somewhat of an injury nuisance. You can’t rely on players in fantasy basketball games if they’re going to be in and out of the lineup all the time. Joakim Noah is either hurt, tired, sore or not producing to his usual levels when he does play, so he’s a bit of a disappointment thus far.

I would stay away from these three guys for this week at least. Check back with us for more next week. As always, remember to get on over to Fantazzle and win money playing fantasy sports games. You can even check out our all new fantasy football pro-bowl game where you choose from only the best players in the league. Have fun and enjoy the week.

2012 Weekly Fantasy Sports Games

January 16th, 2012

Another exciting week of playoff fantasy football in the books. Tom Brady led the day with 363 yards passing on top of 6 touchdowns and 1 pick. Drew Brees was next in line for top quarterback performers. He threw for 462 yards, 4 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Eli Manning was also solid once again putting up his stat line of 330/3/1 in a win against the heavy favorites, Green Bay Packers.

Arian Foster was the lone 100-yard rusher in week 19. He ran for 131 yards and 1 touchdown on 27 carries, but it was not enough to beat the Baltimore Ravens. On the receiving end of things, there were plenty of big time players in week 19. Vernon Davis was huge in his game against the Saints and came up big, play after play. Davis finished the day with 7 catches, 180 yards and 2 scores. Rob Gronkowski was magnificent also, recording 10 receptions for 145 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Hakeem Nicks made several game changing plays, ending the night at 7/165/2. Marques Colston went 9/136/1, Darren Sproles went 15/119/1, Andre Johnson 8/111 and Jimmy Graham 5/103/2. All of these players most certainly come with a high price tag in fantasy football playoff games and this is why.

On to 2012 fantasy basketball, Kobe Bryant is the number one guy right now in terms of fantasy ranking. He has scored at least 40 points in 4 consecutive games (4 out of the last 5). I guess the guy really does still have something noteworthy left in the tank. Kevin Durant is right behind him though with LeBron James ranked third. I would say these guys are definitely worth the hefty price tag in all fantasy basketball game formats.

Be sure to check out all our cool fantasy sports games at Fantazzle. Play to win prize money or play the free games for the fun of it. As alway have a safe and productive week.

Weekly Fantasy Sports Games Review at Fantazzle

January 9th, 2012

The fantasy football playoff games are in full swing at Fantazzle. At quarterback, once again, Drew Brees headlines our report as he  threw for 466 yards and 3 touchdowns on Wild Card Weekend. Matthew Stafford was right behind him though with 380/3/2. Most impressive was Tim Tebow’s heroic efforts against the vaunted Steelers. Tebow finished his day with 316 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. He also carried 10 times for 50 yards and a score.

Arian Foster led the playoff weekend for running backs with 153 yards and 2 scores on 24 carries. Isaac Redman is next in line for fantasy running back accolades as he ran for 121 yards on 17 touches. He would have had a touchdown, but got clipped up right at the goaline.

Calvin Johnson was a man amongst boys this Wild Card Weekend. Against the Saints, Megatron pulled in 12 catches for 211 yards and 2 TD’s. Demaryius Thomas had 4, 204 and 1, Marques Colston went 7 for 120 and Hakeem Nicks finished his day with 6, 115 and 2. It was an exciting week of first round playoff fantasy football and we can’t wait for more of the same next week.

In the world of weekly fantasy basketball games, things are popping off already. Zach Randolph has a torn medial collateral knee ligament which is going to sideline him for the next seven weeks! Marreese Speights was traded to Memphis over from Philly to help fill the void for Memphis while Randolph sits out. Speights debuted with a 17 point, 7 rebound effort Sunday against the Lakers–pick him up, Marreese Speights has proved effective when given the minutes.

If your playing weekly salary cap fantasy basketball and you need some bang for your buck, go with Ryan Anderson, power forward/center for the Orlando Magic. He’s currently the 6th ranked fantasy player and he’ll be a bit cheaper then some of the other big name forwards. He’ll get you the same type of numbers or if not better! He can hit three’s, grab rebounds and score points as his season averages are 18 pts/7.3 rebs/ 3.2 3ptm per game. Another guy I like this season is Jose Calderon. He’s fourth in the league in total assists behind Rajon Rondo, Steve Nash and Derrick Rose. Calderon is averaging 12.4 pts and 9.4 assists a game. He won’t be too expensive in the salary cap format, so make good use of him and ride him to your weekly prize money.

PLAYOFF FANTASY FOOTBALL GAMES–>PLAY NOW

Fantasy Football Review: Week 17

January 2nd, 2012

The NFL regular season is finally over. It seems like it ended just as soon as it started. The fantasy football season isn’t over yet however, as we still have plenty of weekly fantasy football games for you to play at Fantazzle. Don’t hesitate to try out all the fantasy football playoff games. Fantasy basketball is now in full swing, so I’ll be talking about big time stats and performers in the NBA.

If your planning on taking part in our fantasy basketball games, you’ll want to get defensive-minded players into your lineup. On Fantazzle, blocks and steals are each worth 2 points a piece. DeAndre Jordan, Emeka Okafor, Javale McGee, Marcus Camby and Dwight Howard are all guys you will want to consider. They get tons of rebounds and blocks as well!

Guys that get a lot of steals like Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, Andre Iguodala, John Wall and Jason Kidd will also have plenty of value. Remember, steals and blocks are worth two points each, so use it to your advantage. Try and get a bunch of block guys who can also score points and grab plenty of rebounds. Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard and LaMarcus Aldridge are good examples of that. Derrick Rose is also another example of a great fantasy basketball player in that he scores points in bunches and will also provide plenty of steal numbers.

Check in with us every Monday for the sports blog to see my advice on fantasy friendly players. When there is money on the line don’t hesitate to seek out some advice on who to take. Remember, when playing in any fantasy sports games, it’s always important to check out the scoring settings before selecting your team. Also be sure to listen to our weekly fantasy sports podcast where we always have a wealth of information to give you on fantasy sports players. Just take a look to the right hand side of the screen and you will see the podcast in green. Once again, have a productive week and let’s all enjoy the never ending fantasy sports season!

Fantasy Football Recap

December 23rd, 2011

With the 2011 season coming ot a close, I wanted to share a few of my thoughts regarding what I think I know moving forward …

Rookie QB’s – We were blessed with a great class this year, but it would be silly to expect such production. Andrew Luck will have all of the hype, but I am not drafting him as a fantasy starter.

Cam Newton – Ca$h Newton, as I like to refer to him, is NOT a top tier QB. In fact, I am not sure he is in the top two tiers. He had a great season and is a special talent, but don’t overreact.

Arian Foster – He can run with the best of them. He wasn’t a fluke in 2010, and should be a top 5 pick in 2012.

Justin Blackmon – The 6’1″ wide receiver is a stud in the making. He will have a better rookie season than Julio Jones. In fact, sign me up for a better 2012 than Jones as well.

Jimmy Graham – He is the NFL’s best TE. Gronkowski is great, don’t get me wrong, but next year, I’ve got Graham. He has an equal at QB, but he doesn’t have another capable TE on his team. Aaron Hernandez will cut into Gronk’s production a bit more next year, making Graham the top option.

Percy Harvin – He is a special talent, but Christian Ponder isn’t going to lead you to the promise land. Harvin is on the cusp of being a top 10 WR this year, but won’t be top 20 next season.

As mentioned, we introduced their all new limited challenge format and they are going to implement in their daily and weekly fantasy basketball games. On top of the limited challenge you can also find salary cap and pick’em games available all year long at Fantazzle.com.

Play $20 (10-person leagues), $35 (unlimited with 5 entries allowed per user) and $200 (4-person leagues) season-long fantasy basketball games.

Just because the NFL season is coming to an end, your fantasy world doesn’t have to stop spinning. I am a big fantasy hoopster and will continue to post regularly on blogs headed by Fantazzle. They offer some great Fantasy Basketball Salary Cap Games.

Top sleeper in NBA – Greg Monroe (will finish as top 10 C)

Fantasy Bowl Games Heating Up, Fantasy Basketball Games Starting and NFL Fantasy Football Playoff Info

December 23rd, 2011

Happy Holidays Everyone,

 

With college football bowl season already under way Fantazzle has already provided its community with a special free game awarding cash prizes and several bowl season-long games as well as weekly games. For the remainder of the bowl season Fantazzle Fantasy Sports will be holding daily, weekly, and BCS-only games, in their salary cap, pick’em and all new limited challenge formats.

The college football limited format allows users to choose which player from each group will score the most fantasy points. The first group of every position is considered elite, whereas each group thereafter has shown slightly less production throughout the college fantasy football season. The College Fantasy Football Limited BCS Only Game has players like LaMichael James and Montee Ball in the first group of running backs while players like Stepfan Taylor and Andre Ellington are in the second group. While Fantazzle’s salary cap format allows the serious college football fans to compete against others in the most competitive way, the new limited game at Fantazzle allows fans of all levels to compete on an even playing field.

->Play College Fantasy Football Bowl Games Now<-

2011 Fantasy Football: Week 15 Review

December 20th, 2011

Week 15 in the NFL held plenty of action for weekly fantasy football games. Again, Drew Brees was atop the scoring action with 5 touchdown passes on 412 yards. Matthew Stafford was next in line with 4 touchdown passes on 391 yards. Among non-quarterbacks, Calvin Johnson had the biggest day going for 9/214/2.

C.J. Spiller also had a huge game with 91 yards on the ground, 2 total touchdowns and 9 catches for 76 yards. Who would have thought he would have put together a game like that against the tough Miami defense? Another example of how sometimes the stats do lie and going with your gut feeling instead, can prove successful. There is always much to learn in the world of salary cap fantasy football.

Adrian Peterson finally returned to action this week after missing 3 games with an ankle. He ran for 60 yards on the ground. James Starks missed his second straight game after aggravating his bum ankle. Greg Jennings also missed the game against Oakland leaving all the work to Donald Driver, James Jones and Jordy Nelson.

Be sure to play our weekly salary cap fantasy football games, college fantasy football and now 2011 weekly fantasy basketball over at Fantazzle! The basketball season will be kicking off on Christmas day, so be sure to get your lineups in for the special. As always, enjoy your week and make it a productive one!

Fantasy Football | Playoff Picks

December 14th, 2011

What’s going on fantasy fans. Hope your fantasy playoffs have started off on the right foot; I am here to help bring the championship home. I have no bias, so my picks can offer up a objective view to the week ahead. Eliminated from your playoffs? No worries, we’ve got plenty of weekly fantasy football at Fantazzle.

The late season in fantasy football is more about playing the right match ups than it is being loyal to your high draft picks. Following that logic, you must bench Mike Vick. He opposes the solid Jets pass defense, and is much less than 100%. His cracked rids slowed him last week, and the Jets aren’t a defense to get healthy against. Instead, roll with Joe Flacco against the Chargers. He’s playing better than Vick right now (100+ QB Rating in 3 of past 4 games) and faces a middle of the road pass defense.

I realize you likely drafted Rashard Mendenhall as an every week back, but I’m following standard operating procedure and benching running backs that play San Fran. Not only do the 49ers have the leagues best run defense and play this huge game at home, but Mendenhall has underwhelmed this season, averaging only 3.8 yards per carry. On the exact flip side, we’ve got a rested Felix Jones taking on the leagues worst run defense in Tampa Bay. The Cowboys have no depth at RB, and with Murray out for the year, look for Jones to produce in a big way.

Fantasy Football is more of a “what can you do for me now” than it is a “what have you done for me lately” type of game. Julio Jones made his owners jump for joy with two late touchdowns last week, one of which was a 75 yard strike from Matt Ryan, but don’t over rate the Falcons rookie. He has been up and down this year, and doesn’t deserve a spot in your lineup against the Jags on Thursday. Jacksonville’s boasts a stingy defense and runs the ball effectively, limiting Atlanta’s time with the ball. In fact, there is a “JJ” I would rather this weekend: James Jones. Greg Jennings will be sidelined for the remained of the regular season, but the Packers won’t stop passing the ball. Jordy Nelson moves  into Jennings role, and I like Jones to become the teams second option.

2011 Fantasy Football: Week 14 Review

December 12th, 2011

Jumping right into things, Matt Ryan (22/320/4) and Tony Romo (21/321/4) led the day in fantasy points for quarterbacks. Late in the second half against Tennessee, Drew Brees salvaged his fantasy day finishing right behind Tony Romo and Matt Ryan with 36 completions, 337 yards and 2 touchdowns. Tom Brady was the 4th best fantasy QB in week 14, finishing with 22/357/3.

Mojo, Maurice Jones-Drew, was the big story among non-quarterbacks in fantasy this week. He finished with 85 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground to go along with another 6 catches for 51 yards and 2 more touchdowns–a total of 4 touchdowns on the day! Mojo is our MVP for week 14. Tight end, Rob Gronkowski was our second MVP of the day, finishing behind Maurice Jones-Drew for most fantasy points scored among non-quarterbacks. Gronkowski had 6 catches, 160 yards and 2 touchdowns. He now has 15 receiving touchdowns on the season, which is a new, NFL single-season record.

Shonn Greene had 129 yards on the ground with a touchdown and 3 catches for 58 yards, while Marques Colston continued to stay hot with 7/105/2. Larry Fitzgerald went 7/149/1 and on Thursday night, Antonio Brown was the man, finishing with 5/151/1. If your still playing weekly fantasy football, roll all of these guys with confidence.

On to major injuries, Greg Jennings is the headline for week 14. Against Oakland, Jennings may have torn his MCL, which would take about 2-6 for recovery. That means that he’ll probably be done for all 2011 weekly fantasy football games. Look for Donald Driver to try and step in and fill the void. Ben Roethlisberger suffered a high left ankle sprain on Thursday night football, but was able to return to the game in the second half. If he was able to come back in the game on Thursday, then the long week of rest will get him ready for his next game against San Francisco on Monday night.

Adrian Peterson missed his third straight game with that bum ankle, but plans to play in week 15 against New Orleans. Nate Washington was able to tough out his ankle injury and was able to put up a 6/130/1 line against the Saints. Mario Manningham returned from a knee injury suffered in practice a couple weeks ago and was back to his old ways of dropping Eli’s perfect looking touchdown passes.

Everyone be sure to check out all our cool games over at Fantazzle. We feature brand new college fantasy football games and would love for you to give them a try. The 2011 fantasy basketball season will also be getting underway during Christmas day, so be sure to come over and get your prize money lineups set! As always, enjoy the week.
