Greeting all weekly fantasy football die hards, and welcome to lucky week 13. If you’re facing tough decisions this week, and you’d like specific advise, tweet me at unSOPable23. Here’s a quick preview of three players I’m benching or not spending my valuable money in a weekly salary cap fantasy football games, and who are the typically inferior options in which I prefer.

Peyton Hillis is back in the Browns backfield and led the team in carries last week. But with an awful offense around him, and a hungry Ravens D coming to town, Hillis shouldn’t be reinserted into your good graces quite yet. Instead, look to the Lions Maurice Morris, who will start in place of an injured Kevin Smith. Detroit figures to feature their struggling running game in an effort to keep Drew Brees on the sidelines. I’m penciling MM in for at least 85 total yards.

The Houston Texans are expected to falter, but it won’t because of their stout defense and elite running attack. With the Texans looking to run the ball every down, expect a down weak from Matt Ryan. The Falcons time of possession will be low, and he won’t have enough opportunities to outperform somebody like Carson Palmer this week. Palmer has been rock solid of late for the Raiders, and the Dolphins (while hot) are not good defensively. Oakland’s running game is a load, and Miami will be forced to cover the speedy Raiders one on one.

Things have gone downhill for the Chiefs fast, and it’ll continue this week for their lone fantasy relevant player: Dwayne Bowe. The Bears are a top notch defensive unit, and with Tyler Palko behind center, the Bears secondary may touch the ball more than Bowe. Eric Decker (yes, that Eric Decker, the one who plays with Tebow) is the better option despite playing in a run first offense. He is Tebow’s go to man, and the Vikings actually stuff the run reasonably well. Denver doesn’t win this game with 55 rushes, and odds are that most of the air attack is filtered through Decker.

As the college football season winds down, the games hold more importance, as conference championships are on the line. Here are two players that will rock  this week college fantasy football games, and carry their owners.

David Wilson (RB for Virgina Tech) – Has managed at least 132 rush yards in every road game this season, and records 20+ carries in 75% of contests. He will get plenty of chances against a Clemson defense that surrenders 27.5 points per game.

Austin Davis (QB for Southern Miss) – Will be in a shoot out with Case Keenum, and has the talent to surprise. He’s thrown for 3,052 yards and 2.4 touchdowns for every INT. Davis has accounted for at least three scores in six of his teams last nine games, and he figures to make that sever out of ten on Saturday.

Good luck to all this week in the fantasy festivities.

Hey everyone,

Why should the fantasy football playoffs have to end just because the regular season has wrapped up? At Fantazzle, we feel that owners should have the privilege to play until the very last snap of the season.

With a ton of exciting fantasy football players still very much alive and active entering next weekend, it’s only right that owners get to keep on playing.

We’re proud to announce the launch of our fantasy football playoff game that keeps owners in the action all the way through the Super Bowl! With a guaranteed payout to the Top 10 finishers, this is a great opportunity to earn some serious cash. Simply select a squad and see how they perform through the postseason–it’s as easy as that!

Don’t want to commit to the same group of players for the entire playoffs? We understand, and we have another game to satisfy that very itch. Our weekly salary cap fantasy football game provides the opportunity to pick a new roster three times: the wild card round, the division round, and then a final, two-week round for the AFC/NFC championship games and the Super Bowl.

With entry fees of $11, $50, and $100 dollars available (and of course, there’s always our free fantasy football game), there should be some serious payouts in a limited field so act quickly before your spot is snatched up by another eager owner. The prize pool increases with every entry!

Daily and Weekly Fantasy Hockey and Fantasy Basketball Games Available Every Day!

If you’re done with the fantasy football season, we suggest trying our fantasy hockey games and/or our fantasy basketball games as there are large cash prizes waiting to be won in each of those as well!

We have it all at Fantazzle, and don’t forget, we’re the only fantasy sports site that rewards you with FanStock for continuing to play with us.

Happy New Year, everybody.

Hi all,

Think the fantasy football week is over? Think again. While many fantasy owners have been handed devastating fantasy playoff losses or were eliminated 1-2 weeks ago, we’re here to remind you of our ongoing fantasy football games, both tonight, as well as all the way to the Super Bowl.

Play the Monday/Thursday night combo game tonight, and pick from players playing in the Vikings/Bears game tonight, as well as players in the Week 16 Thursday night game between the Steelers and Panthers. Simply pick a roster of 2 QB, 3 RB, 3 WR, and 2 TE to complete your fantasy roster, while remaining under a fantasy salary cap of $1 million.

If night games aren’t your thing, you can continue to play conventional weekly fantasy football for Weeks 16 and 17, and then try our two fantasy football playoff games, available for the 2010 NFL Playoffs!

Play Fantasy Basketball at Fantazzle!

While fantasy football is still going strong and will be available throughout the NFL Playoffs, we still wanted to remind you about our excellent fantasy basketball games.

Today (Monday) kicks off another week of our Weekly Fantasy Basketball Salary Cap game, while our Daily Fantasy Basketball Challenge game can also be played today and throughout the week. You can also get the week started off right by entering into the Mini SuperStakes Fantasy Basketball game, which starts on Friday and plays through Sunday night, giving fantasy owners a high stakes game at a low stakes price. The Mini SuperStakes game is just $11 to play, and has a cash prize pool that grows with user participation.

Get into the action at Fantazzle today and start winning cash!

Hi everyone,

There has been a strong debate for some time now as to whether or not fantasy football is a distraction in the workplace. But is there really any validity behind the bias?

The emerging trend began in the early 2000′s and has really skyrocketed since that time. But to what extent have fantasy football games really affected productivity in the workplace or elsewhere? Has it been the foe that so many have made it out to be? Not so fast.

Through our committment to thought leadership in the fantasy sports industry, Fantazzle Fantasy Games has created a white paper that compiles all of the facts and figures that provide evidence against a common misconception that fantasy football has been a boon to the U.S. economy. The white paper details the net effects of fantasy sports, specifically fantasy football. After a thorough examination of reports from around the fantasy sports industry, Fantazzle has concluded that fantasy football has never been a drag in the workplace, but rather served as beneficial to the workplace atmosphere.

Not only does it build friendship, but it also provides for increased employee loyalty, and therefore can be used as a fun team-building exercise to create an enjoyable work atmosphere.

This is not specific to just fantasy football, as it can also be applied to fantasy baseball, fantasy hockey, and fantasy basketball as well. With all the great daily and weekly fantasy games available to play at Fantazzle, it only makes sense to encourage continued playing.

For more information, check out Fantazzle’s Thought Leadership section, and download the full white paper.

Hi everyone,

We are now nine weeks into the 2010 NBA season, so we thought we’d send out another reminder about our excellent fantasy basketball games. If you don’t like how your fantasy basketball team is shaping up so far, simply ditch your season league to play daily and weekly fantasy basketball games, and even take part in our special weekend fantasy basketball game!

It’s never too late to turn your fantasy basketball season around at Fantazzle, with daily and weekly opportunities to pick brand new rosters of any players you want, while also getting the chance to compete against fellow fantasy basketball fans for cash prizes!

Our Daily Fantasy Basketball Challenge game allows you to pick whoever you want, while our Weekly Fantasy Basketball Salary Cap game has you pick your fantasy roster, while remaining under a fantasy budget of $1 million. You can also take our fantasy salary cap game one step further with the weekend Mini SuperStakes Fantasy Basketball game, which runs from Friday to Sunday, and gives you a chance at winning cash out of a large prize pool!

Fantasy Football Playoffs COMING SOON!

Your 2010 fantasy football season doesn’t have to end. In addition to weekly fantasy football running through the course of the regular season, Fantazzle will be offering two new fantasy football playoff games that will be played during the 2010 NFL Playoffs.

With almost all fantasy leagues done before the regular season is even over, Fantazzle takes you to Week 17 with our weekly fantasy football games, and then keeps the magic of the fantasy football season alive, all the way to the Super Bowl!

Our Fantasy Football Playoff Challenge game will run for the entire length of the 2010 NFL Playoffs, as fantasy owners will have to pick the best lineup that can both produce points, and last as long as possible in the playoffs. Pick any 2 QB, 3 RB, 3 WR, and 2 TE to complete your fantasy roster once the playoff schedule is set, and sit back as your team accumulates points throughout the NFL Playoffs.

The Fantasy Football Playoff Salary Cap game will take the form of our usual regular season Weekly Fantasy Football Salary Cap game, only it will be offered in every single round of the playoffs. Simply pick the best possible lineup while remaining under a fantasy salary cap of $1 million, and test your fantasy skills each week against other fantasy players. If you don’t succeed during the Wild Card round, simply start over in the Divisional, Championship, and/or Super Bowl rounds! With Fantazzle, fantasy football doesn’t officially end until the 2010 NFL season has seen it’s last snap!

Good luck to all who play games this week!

Hey all,

With most fantasy owners gearing up for the fantasy football playoffs in their fantasy league or even testing their skills in our SuperStakes Sundays Fantasy Football Playoff game, we wanted to extend a bit of news we caught.

According to reports, the Minnesota Vikings stadium’s roof has collapsed due to the weight of snow, and the game that was previously scheduled for Sunday (today), will now be played on Monday at the earliest. The reason we’re posting this news on our blog is because there is still no official word or guarantee that this game is played on Monday or at all in Week 14.

If you own Minnesota Vikings or New York Giants players, this is a reminder about the situation, and a suggestion that you should follow it closely and obtain all the information you can. Whether you’re playing our fantasy football games or fighting your opponent’s in your own fantasy football league, we still would hate to see anyone lose a fantasy playoff game because some of their players weren’t available for their lineups.

If this game gets post-poned for Week 15 or beyond, most fantasy football leagues won’t award you the stats for the previous week. We’re not saying what will happen one way or the other, just merely making anyone who reads today’s blog aware of the possibility that starting a Vikings or Giants player could end badly this week.

In addition to this lineup warning, we’d like to remind you once again about our SuperStakes Sundays Fantasy Football Playoff game, which is a fantasy football salary cap game that runs from Week 14-16, and can be played for $11 or $100.

Get into the action today and compete for huge cash prizes in the fantasy football playoffs!
