The 2011-2012 fantasy football season was another great time as usual. Lots of high scores, comeback wins, devastating losses, surprise players and cash prizes. Hakeem Nicks was the star of the receiving show on Super Bowl Sunday, bringing in 10 catches for 109 yards. Eli Manning threw only 1 touchdown pass, which went to Victor Cruz, on 296 yards passing for the game.

Ahmad Bradshaw scored a rushing touchdown late in the game on top of 76 yards rushing. He almost pulled a Brian Westbrook and laid down right at the goal line, so that time would keep on ticking, but instead, at the last second, opted to fall backwards into the end zone instead.

Tom Brady threw for 276 yards, 2 touchdowns and a pick. Aaron Hernandez caught one of them and Danny Woodhead caught the other. It was a modest day offensively for both offenses, which means a lot of low scoring super bowl fantasy games.

Fantasy basketball games will be all we have now to hold us over until we get to baseball. LeBron James is currently the top ranked fantasy basketball player right now, although there are many other guys to choose from when selecting your lineup and going for the prize money. In salary cap fantasy basketball, I would have no trouble paying the high price tag for guys like Kevin Love, Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Andrew Bynum and Kobe Bryant.

When speaking of mid-level guys with mid-level type price tags, I would pay for names like Serge Ibaka, Emeka Okafor, Joakim Noah, Ty Lawson, Joe Johnson, Jrue Holliday, and Tony Parker. Lower price level guys who can still be productive lie in names like Jodie Meeks, Leandro Barbosa, James Johnson and Kenyon Martin.

Enjoy the rest of the 2012 fantasy basketball season. Weekly and daily fantasy baseball games will be here in no time. Until then, have fun grabbin’ boards and getting assists for cash prizes. As always, enjoy the week.

This was the first time I’ve ever seen the pro bowl yield fantasy results. The game of weekly fantasy sports is being taken to a new level and we are witnessing it. Brandon Marshall came from out of nowhere and stole the show with 4 touchdown catches after only scoring 6 times in the regular season. Marshall’s stat line finished at 6/176/4. Larry Fitzgerald also had himself a huge day finishing with 6/111/3.

Steve Smith showed up to play some ball as well. He had 5 catches, 118 yards and a touchdown. Jimmy Graham continued his scoring ways catching a touchdown from Drew Brees on 5 catches and 74 yards. Drew Brees was also magnificent with 246 yards and 2 touchdowns. Fantazzle will be bringing more fantasy football action once the super bowl starts, so get ready!

Weekly fantasy basketball is in full swing and Joakim Noah seems to be on a rebounding tear right now. I guess he didn’t like all the critics talking about how something might be wrong with him this year. After a slow start to the season, where he was averaging around 7 points and 7 rebounds a game (very un-Noah-like numbers), he has hit double-digit rebound totals in his last 6 games. His yearly averages are now up to 8.3 points and 9.1 boards a game, much more respectable and Noah-like, although I do expect those numbers to increase.

SUPER BOWL FANTASY FOOTBALL –> PLAY NOW!

If you missed out on the pro bowl fantasy football game, it’s not too late to join the super bowl fantasy football games. It is the first time ever we have seen this type of game format, so come and be a part of history and earn some cash prizes while your at it. As always, have a safe and productive week.

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.

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!

Greetings everyone,

Jumping right into the biggest gamers of the week, Aaron Rodgers had the most fantasy points for quarterbacks. He threw for 369 yards, 4 touchdowns and 1 pick. Cam Newton was second in line for quarterbacks going 12 completions/204 yards/1 touchdown, 54 rushing yards with 3 touchdowns and then even added in a reception for 27 yards–huge day for the rookie! Drew Brees went 26/342/3 and Christian Ponder went 29/381/3/2. Eli Manning also had another great outing throwing for 347 yards and 3 scores.

Percy Harvin had the biggest day amongst non-quarterbacks, setting a career-high in receiving yards with 156. He had 8 catches, 2 touchdowns and 19 rushing yards as well. Shonn Greene had 88 yards rushing and 3 scores in easily his best game of the season for the Jets. Pierre Garcon went 9/150/2, Rob Gronkowski kept it rolling with 5/64/2 and also caught a 3rd touchdown which was ruled as a carry since he caught the ball as a lateral pass. Anybody playing weekly fantasy football games will want to get these names into their lineups again for next week!

On to injuries, Matt Forte looks to be in serious doubt for the remainder of the fantasy football season. He has a Grade 2 MCL sprain and is week-to-week. Marion Barber becomes the next hottest waiver pick up and should see an increase in carries. On Thursday night, LeSean McCoy was able to play through his toe injury and still managed to put up a 20+. Kevin Smith was able to play with his ailing knee against the Saints, but then had to leave the game once he turned his ankle. Maurice Morris shouldered the load in Smith’s absence and was productive. Kevin Smith should be able to play next week with some rest for that ankle and knee.

Everyone be sure to get on over to Fantazzle and check out all the free games and cash prize games. College fantasy football is taking off and you don’t want to miss out. Play our weekly salary cap fantasy football games and continue your fantasy season even if you didn’t make the playoffs in your regular league.

Greetings everyone,

Week 9 in the NFL was a very exciting one. Weekly fantasy football managers got to enjoy the shootout between Green Bay and San Diego. Philip Rivers had easily his best game of the season with 385 yards and 4 touchdown passes. His score of 30 would have been higher if it weren’t for his 3 picks! Vincent Jackson had a huge day as well with 7 catches for 145 yards and 3 TD’s. Whoever had that QB/receiver combo on their fantasy team this week must have surely won their game.

Aaron Rodgers had a monstrous day too, throwing 4 touchdowns on 247 yards. Julio Jones finally broke through and caught the first touchdown passes of his young career. He finished the day with 3 catches for 131 yards and 2 scores. Arian Foster, Mike Tolbert, Michael Bush and Reggie Bush also had big Sundays with over 20 Fantazzle points each.

Kevin Faulk had a solid showing in week 8, and was supposed to play in week 9, but was ruled inactive just before kick off. In a time where bye weeks are still with us, Faulk could have been a nice fill-in play. Hakeem Nicks missed game action this week with a hamstring injury. It sounds as if he should be able to play in week 10. Malcom Floyd missed his game against the Packers with an ailing hip. Too bad though, he could have been a part of that shootout, but instead all the numbers went to Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates.

Joseph Addai was active for his game against the Falcons, but didn’t record a single carry or catch. Addai is dealing with a hamstring issue himself. I wouldn’t recommend him for any weekly salary cap fantasy football games even when healthy at this point. Ahmad Bradshaw was ruled out for week 9′s game against New England as he deals with a broken bone in his foot. It won’t require surgery, yet, but is the kind of nagging injury that can limit his production for the rest of the season. Brandon Jacobs shouldered the load with 18 carries, 72 yards, a touchdown and even added 4 catches for 28 yards.

Fantasy game are as much about value as they are talent. Here are three pros and three preps who figure to outperform their current price tag.Remember, the Fantasy Football Freeroll presented by Scorebig.com is now available to enter for free and is awarding over $200 in prizes!

NFL

Shonn Greene – The Jets commitment to the ground game (63 carries for Greene in his last three games) will pay big dividends in Buffalo this week. The Jets have a chance to win this game if they control the clock, so expect another 20+ carries from Greene. With The Bills rank in the bottom half of the NFL in running points against, making Greene my sixth ranked RB for week nine.

Michael Bush – With Darren McFadden (foot) out of action this week, Bush finds himself in my top 10 RB’s. A very strong back in the red zone will get the bulk of the carries for a team with question marks in the passing game. The Raiders figure to dominate, and thus rely on Bush to take the air out of the football.

Julio Jones – His return from a hamstring injury couldn’t come at a better time, it’s Colts week for the Falcons. Jones is far too athletic for the Colts secondary, and should see single coverage as the Colts focus on Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez.

NCAA – College Fantasy Football Salary Cap games

Zach Line – The junior RB for the Southern Methodist Mustangs is matched up a Tulane defense that surrenders 35 points per game. Line is sixth in division one with 14 rushing TD’s and averages 6 yards per carry.

Stephen Hill – The nation’s leader in yards per catch (30.4) is a great bet when filling out your roster. One of every five catches for Hill winds up in six points, so he needs very few targets to make noise.

Nick Foles – Senior QB’s at home are always favorable, especially when that QB throws more than all but one division one QB. His Wildcats battle a Utah team that was gashed by a much less efficient pass game in Brock Osweiler and the Arizona State Sun Devils.

Greetings Fantazzle Community,

Today we have for you a couple quick looks at the past week and a quick review of the week ahead for college football. Remember, the Fantasy Football Freeroll presented by Scorebig.com is now available to enter for free and is awarding over $200 in prizes!

NFL Week 8 – Here is a quick look at what went right and what went wrong this week in the fantasy world.

Ray Rice led a late surge as his Ravens prevailed over the Cardinals. His 99 total yards aren’t special, but his three touchdowns should make fantasy owners giddy, as they all came from one yard out, adding yet another dimension to his game.

Brent Celek was targeted nine times against the Cowboys; a second straight week in which Mike Vick looked his way on a consistent basis. He caught seven of those passes for 94 yards, including a nice TD in the back of the end zone.

Antonio Brown had a field day against a weak Patriots secondary. He caught a team high nine passes for 67 yards and a TD. The numbers aren’t eye popping, but dig a little deeper to find the most telling statistic. Brown was targeted 15 times on Sunday, giving him 63 targets on the year (compared to Mike Wallace’s 57).

Chris Johnson disappointed fantasy owners for the third consecutive week. The big difference this week was the opponent. The harmless Colts (surrendering the second most fantasy points to opposing RB’s) allowed only 34 yards on Johnson’s 14 carries, the fifth time in seven games in which Johnson has failed to average more than 2.7 yards per carry.

DeSean Jackson caught only three balls (on six targets) for 31 yards and has proven to be the Adam Dunn of the NFL. Jeremy Maclin is the consistent producer on the Eagles, and Jackson is the one who can win/lose you weeks.

Dez Bryant visited Nnamdi Asomugha Island on Sunday night and was held to just 28 yards on three catches. The most valuable Cowboy receiver will be whoever is declared the team’s second option by their opponent.

Enter now –> College Fantasy Football Salary Cap games

NCAAF – The week ahead is a huge one for the landscape of college football. Here’s a quick look at three games involving nationally ranked teams on both sidelines. My picks are in italics.

9 South Carolina @ 7 Arkansas

The Gamecocks surrender 17.1 points per game, which doesn’t sound bad at all, but when you include the fact that they have scored 24 or less points in five of their eight games, it becomes a fine line between winning and losing. They tend to excel in ugly games, where they simply outlast inferior teams, but Arkansas doesn’t fit that description. They are 4-0 in games decided by 10 points or less, and have a QB in Tyler Wilson who they trust to win them the game. Arkansas averages only 131.8 rushing yards per game, 83^rd in the country, which could be dangerous should South Carolina find a way to slow down the ninth most effective passing game in college football.

1 LSU @ 2 Alabama

When the top two teams in the nation meet up on Saturday, it will be the 46^th such occurrence. The nation’s top ranked team has dominated ranked teams by a combined score of 103-35 in three games. The Tigers rank third in the country in points allowed per game (11.5). Hard to imagine, but the Crimson Tide are better, and only surrender less than a TD per game (6.9 points). When the defense isn’t scoring points, the physical Trent Richardson is their focal point. The first team to 20 points should win this colossal game, and take over the #1 spot in the next BCS poll.

Good luck all and enjoy the games!
