Week 4 in the NFL is already by us with the exception of Monday night’s game featuring the Buccaneers and Colts. My, how quickly the season goes on. With week 5 upon us and bye weeks sure to screw some managers over, now is the time that you will either pay for your drafting mistakes or benefit from them. Drafting a team that is deep and not just “starter heavy” is crucial to not only fantasy football success, but fantasy sports success in general. Being too “starter heavy” is when your starting roster is full of studs, but you have no talent on the bench in case of injuries and of course, bye weeks.

So, hopefully you not only drafted your team carefully, but you took the time to make certain pickups and/or trades in order to evenly balance your team out so that you are strong on all fronts and strong in case of any roster related disasters. For those who aren’t in leagues, but are playing the monthly or weekly fantasy football leagues, then it’s business as usual for you. Look to exploit certain match-ups in week 5, look for players that have been hot and on a roll and keep the big money for those big time QB’s like Drew Brees and Tom Brady.

For anyone playing our weekly and/or monthly fantasy football games, the way things have been looking so far this season, players I would generally lean toward regardless of who they’re playing on the schedule when selecting your lineups are Adrian Peterson, Fred Jackson, Vincent Jackson, LeSean McCoy, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Hakeem Nicks and Wes Welker. These guys just seem unstoppable right now, so roll them with confidence.

More salary cap fantasy football games and fantasy football challenge games will be starting at 1 o’clock as usual on Sunday, October 9th. Also, it’s still not too late to sign up and register to play Lingerie Fantasy Football powered by Fantazzle. Get in the game and watch these honeys go to battle, it’s some serious business out there, these girls are hitting, they don’t play and they’re sexy too!

2011 Fantasy baseball playoffs are also underway at Fantazzle. Didn’t have such good luck during the regular season? No sweat, try your luck in the post-season and see how you do.

As always, enjoy the week, and have some fun! Be sure to check out our weekly Fantazzle podcasts’ as well for some more fantasy football conversation and advice:

Hopefully everyone is having a great time with the fantasy games that we have to offer. Fantasy football is definitely our specialty and we’re excited about having a big and successful season. Keep on playing those games, keep on earning that fanstock and keep on winning that money. As always, Fantazzle will be offering a ton of weekly NFL and college fantasy football games.

We have updated our pick’em game as well. For example, you will now see more match-ups with the same players competing against each other in the game in real life, to be available for picking in the fantasy game. So for example, this week, the Dolphins and Browns faced off, so a match-up you might see to choose from in the pick’em game would be Daniel Thomas or Peyton Hillis. This allows for faster results in the scoring. Below is the upcoming schedule for this week’s games and their start times for the week.

Thursday:

College Fantasy Football Challenge – 8 pm EDT

College Fantasy Football Salary Cap – 8 pm EDT

Sunday:

Month Long Fantasy Football Salary Cap Game, Weeks 4-8 – start time: Oct 2, 1 pm EDT

Weekly Fantasy Football Salary Cap Game, Oct 2 – Oct 3 – start time: 1 pm EDT

Fantasy Football Challenge Game, Oct 2 – Oct 3 – start time: 1 pm EDT

The baseball season here at Fantazzle is not done yet either! We still have 2011 Fantasy baseball playoffs going on as well. Choose your team from the remaining playoff teams in the MLB. As always folks, enjoy the entire week and enjoy another week of fantasy sports here at Fantazzle.

Thanks, Fantazzle David

We finally got to enjoy a full Sunday of the NFL and fantasy football action. Leagues all over the globe were in full swing yesterday and tonight, Monday, with the Patriots facing the Dolphins, week 1 of 2011 fantasy football will be winding down to a close. There were plenty of big winners over the weekend at Fantazzle and there will be plenty more to come. Start flipping your money with your fantasy knowledge already. Throw down some money on one of the 2011 salary cap fantasy football games and see what you got–college or pros.

The MLB season is winding down to a close too. Most fantasy baseball leagues are in finals right now, so for those individuals, we’ll fill you in on those major names either coming or going for this week of fantasy baseball.

2B, Rickie Weeks/Milwaukee Brewers: Weeks has been out of game action since July 27 when he severely sprained his left ankle running and falling hard on a play to first base. In his second appearance on Sunday (first start) since being back from the DL, Weeks drew a walk and was also hit by a pitch–what a tough way to comeback. It shouldn’t take long for Rickie Weeks to find his power stroke again, but with the 2011 fantasy baseball season nearing it’s end, we might just have to wait until next year to enjoy Rickie’s stellar production lines again.

OF, Nelson Cruz/Texas Rangers: Nelson Cruz is looking to make it back to the field by sometime before Wednesday. He’s been on the DL as of late with hamstring issues. Those of you in weekly finals match-ups, you’ve got to leave him benched. Daily leaguers, just wait until further notice.

1B, Justin Morneau/Minnesota Twins: Out since Aug 28th, Justin Morneau hasn’t been cleared yet to play with his concussion symptoms. He’s hitting only .227 anyway, so even if he does get healthy and cleared to play, it’s not like he won’t be doing much for the remainder of 2011 regardless.

If you didn’t already join the festivities for week 1 of salary cap fantasy football and college salary cap fantasy football, join us for week 2. For the winners from week 1, play again, you have to play your money while your hot! Keep it rollin’. What are you going to do with one prize winning? Bet that prize money again, and flip your cake until you reach a thousand–now we’re talking.

And if you lose everything, so what? All you lose is your initial investment which I’m sure you can probably get back rather easily somehow. Deposit again, and this time hope for a win. Fantasy sports is very streaky. The name of the game is to cash in on those times when you are hot, that is when there is money to be made.

Enjoy the week

With tonight’s game between Maryland and Miami (FL), the first week of college fantasy football for the first time ever at Fantazzle will be winding down to a close. As expected, it sure was an exciting first week as we saw many high scores in all of the money games. So now this is business as usual.

For week 2 of salary cap college fantasy football, we will be having the same games available for entry, so be sure to join up and play. Like I always say, there’s a lot of money to be made out there. For those of you still in 2011 fantasy baseball leagues who have playoffs to worry about, check out some key names who are either coming or going with injuries for this new week.

OF, Carlos Quentin/Chicago White Sox: As of August 21, Carlos Quentin has been on the 15-day DL with a sprained left shoulder. He was eligible to come off today, but will most likely be kept on the DL because he is too far from a return and his shoulder is not yet ready for big league action. Consider Quentin down and out for at least the next two weeks.

OF, Cameron Maybin/San Diego Padres: Cameron Maybin has missed a string of 8 games because of a sore right wrist. He was hitting well up until that point and was also providing fantasy owners with good speed on the base paths too. He is penciled in for today’s game against the Giants, so we will see if he can step right in and continue to rake at the plate, or if he will need a few games to get his stroke back under him. Based on the season he’s having so far, I don’t think it will take him too long to get re-adjusted. Look for Maybin to have a solid week’s output beginning today–Monday.

SP, Stephen Strasburg/Washington Nationals: Stephen Strasburg is scheduled to make his first start of this season on Tuesday night, at home, against the Dodgers. Hopefully all will go well for him, so that potential fantasy owners for next year can be excited for what this kid has to offer. Having Tommy John surgery pretty much ruined Strasburg’s rookie year and most of his sophomore year, so next year, which will be his third, should be a coming out party for the flame thrower.

Remember to be a part of all the 2011 salary cap college fantasy football excitement at Fantazzle. This is the first year that we are doing it, so we’ll be sure to kick things off the right way as you saw in week 1 with the free roll, $100 prize. Entry fees and prizes may change on a week to week basis, but you get the point, either way you go, there is still plenty of money to be won off of what you know in this world of sports!

The NFL regular season is also starting this Thursday at 8pm, with the Saints taking on the Green Bay Packers, so be sure to get your lineups in for week 1 of 2011 NFL fantasy football action as well. We have weekly fantasy football games and monthly ones too, so choose your strategy and pick which ever one works best for you. As always take care, enjoy the week, and go make that money!

Hello everyone,

We have another exciting week for you going on @ Fantazzle.  NFL football’s 2011 regular season is just about two more weeks away. The 2011 lingerie fantasy football game powered by Fantazzle has already started sign ups. If you haven’t submitted your lineup already, no worries, there will be weekly sign ups moving forward, so you still have time to play.The grand prize winner of the Lingerie fantasy game will get an all expenses paid trip to Las Vegas for the Lingerie Bowl, so don’t miss out on this one!

Also, 2011 fantasy baseball playoffs are either here for this week, or will be here next week, so lets go over some key baseball injury reports for those of you who are in your fantasy baseball playoffs. This is the time of year that we all play for, the playoffs! Make sure to set your best lineup, because you never know, this may be your final time doing it for this season if you lose.

SS, Jose Reyes/New York Mets: Reyes has already played two minor league rehab games over the weekend. He even hit a home run on Friday, so things are looking good for our speedster. Look for him to be inserted back into the major league lineup at some point early on in this new week. It is safe to roll him and with it being fantasy playoff time, considering how good he’s been playing all season long, it would be a risk worth taking to start Jose Reyes.

3B, Adrian Beltre/Texas Rangers: Beltre will be out for a little longer than Reyes, but is still expected back during this week. His first rehab appearance is scheduled for today, Monday and then a second one on Tuesday. If all goes well, we could see Adrian Beltre back by maybe Thursday or Friday. If you are in desperate need of his bat, you can take a risk and play him in your weekly lineup, but if you have  a better back up option I would use it.

OF, Shin-Soo Choo/Cleveland Indians: Choo was taken out of Saturday night’s game because of general soreness on his left side. This sounds like a very minor thing and I doubt he misses much time because of it. Choo was scratched from Sunday’s game in order to get some rest, so he should be ok going forward into this week. He’s been ripping up at the plate as of late, so I don’t suspect he will miss too much time, if any, going forward for this week. Roll him with confidence.

Also folks, college fantasy football games are now available @ Fantazzle for the first time ever, so be sure to check that out and be amongst the first to experience our new game at the site. The first round of college games will be kicking off with a bang on Thursday, September 1 at 6:05 pm, so be there and be sure to take advantage and go for the big cash prizes.

Just when you thought we had fantasy games out the frame, we go and add another one, welcome to fantasy heaven! On Thursday, September 8, the weekly NFL salary cap game will be starting, so be sure to get your entry fees in for that as well. As always, there is much going on @ Fantazzle, you can only come along and be a part of it while making some money while your at it. Take care and good luck
