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!

Hey all,

Week 14 of the 2010 NFL season has arrived, and with the Thursday game already in the books, we wanted to take a second to remind you about one of our greatest fantasy football games of the year.

In the spirit of the fantasy football playoffs, Fantazzle is now offering the SuperStakes Sundays Fantasy Football Playoff Game, which gives our fantasy football community members a great football game for the 2010 fantasy football playoffs. This game allows you to play high stakes fantasy football with our $100 entry fee game, or play the cheaper $11 entry fee game. Both games have amazing cash prize pools and give any fantasy owners who didn’t make their fantasy league’s playoffs a chance at playing some playoff fantasy football, along with a shot at some really great cash prizes!

Our SuperStakes Fantasy Football Playoff game is a fantasy football salary cap game that requires you to select 2 QB, 3 RB, 3 WR, and 2 TE to complete your fantasy roster, while remaining under a fantasy budget of $1 million. Simply mix your fantasy lineup with fantasy sleepers and studs to gain an advantage over your opponent each week.

On top of the games and prizes, both entry fee games will be offered for three consecutive weeks, through Weeks 14-16 of the NFL season, making this an awesome three week event for the fantasy football playoffs.

In addition to this great fantasy football playoff atmosphere, Fantazzle is going to keep the fantasy football playoffs rolling by offering two fantasy football playoff games during the 2010 NFL Playoffs, when almost every other fantasy football league has called it a season. Keep an eye out for those games when the NFL Playoffs start, and compete in the SuperStakes games over the next three weeks!

Play Fantasy Basketball at Fantazzle!

If fantasy football isn’t your game, we’d also like to take a second to remind you about our excellent Daily and Weekly Fantasy Basketball games, while also telling you about our Mini SuperStakes Fantasy Basketball game, available every weekend, starting on Fridays.

If you ever miss out on the weekly fantasy basketball game or don’t like to play the daily games, you can always play our weekend fantasy basketball salary cap game and compete against other fantasy basketball users for a great cash prize pool. The field is limited, so be sure to act now and get into the action!

To get things rolling for this weekend’s games, we wanted to reach out to our fantasy community and offer a free ticket to our Mini SuperStakes Fantasy Basketball game. Simply email your Fantazzle username to tickets@fantazzle today, and earn a free seat into one of these great games. We’re giving FIVE tickets away to tonight’s Mini SuperStakes Basketball game, so be one of the first to email in for your chance at playing in the game!

Be sure to check out all of our high stakes games and ongoing fantasy promotions, and good luck to all who play games this week!

Hi all,

Based on several NFL events these past few days along with additional fantasy football rankings research some changes were made to the 2010 fantasy football rankings for the QB fantasy rankings and RB fantasy rankings. The 2010  QB fantasy rankings didn’t change that significantly. The 2010 RB fantasy football rankings did have several major changes which are described below. Fantazzle’s Fantasy Football rankings are due to the FSTA and FFLibrarian before the Thu night game so today and early tomorrow we will be cleaning up TE and WR and look to make a 2008 fantasy football ranking impact instead of the 2009 impact….FORTE! Tellin’ ya, never again will I trust a player with an accent aigu.

QB Fantasy Football Rankings

The biggest movers (and really only significant ones at all) were moving Flacco up two spaces and Brady down two spaces. I like moving Flacco up with the addition of Housh as I don’t see how this don’t because a complete passing team except down by the goal line. Don’t get me wrong, Ray Rice is too good not to use him running, but I believe there will be more passing plays with Housh, especially around mid season when he really has the system down, and at the same time dump offs to Ray Rice. Not too bad a safety valve to have eh? Brady was hard to move, but its really hard to read up in NE right now with Welker not fully healed and Randy Moss doing Randy Moss things. That may become a major problem soon. I may be putting Edelman on my WR top 50 as he may get more playing time because of R Moss pouting it up and Bellichek not putting up with it.

ATTENTION - Why read another fantasy football site that posts 2010 fantasy football rankings?

Because in 2008, Fantazzle Fantasy Football Games was recognized as the #1 fantasy football player ranking site among the top names in the fantasy football industry. The award was given by the Fantasy Sports Trade Association, FFLibrarian and the NYTimes fantasy football blog is where you can see the results. There were over 20 fantasy football sites in the contest and those sites are widely known as the best sources for fantasy football advice and projections.

2010 Fantasy Football Rankings

As described above in  2008 Fantazzle won a major fantasy football award according to the NYTimes. Fantazzle at the time was five months old. We went up against over twenty (20)  of THE best fantasy sports sites (you all ever hear of YaCPN or ESBShoo?) or straight no messin’ around fantasy football sites period (which all seem to have roto in their name, which according to Wikipedia means broken). I gotta believe you all may have come across these sites along with just a ‘few’  fantasy football magazines over the past few years. I think the number of available fantasy magazines this year FINALLY surpassed the tattoo/motorcycle/wave runner segment, a major victory for the fantasy football industry. Now who’s just a fad?

Now to be fair, this was in 2008 (I can’t believe we are not mentioned anywhere on that link). In 2009? We would rather say we didn’t get our picks in time, but we did and they included Matt Forte among other high profile Bears names classified as under-rated. Let’s just say if the Chicago Bears didn’t ever exist, we would have done pretty well. So we got that going for us… Last year, some compamy called ESBShoo won, wait I got that wrong, it was CBS (congrats!) who probably weren’t so high on Forte, Matt 22 RB (CHI). We will be back on the map this year so we don’t become Michael Clayton (WR)…. who reminds me a lot of Matt Forte last year. What makes it worst is I knew better. Never trust a dude w/ a accent aigu…this isn’t only a fantasy rule, but a life rule that I live by day to day.

Nevertheless – 2008. Created Fantazzle, a daily and weekly fantasy football game company and won the fantasy ranking award. A great start for Fantazzle and just the beginning of more things to come. Just this year, we were invited to be a pro fantasy football player in a great fantasy football game in its 2nd year – RapidDraft. It’s free this year so what do you have to lose, what ~20-30min? I know what you have to win – over $150,000! The great thing about RapidDraft and Fantazzle’s fantasy games are that it is not a random contest with a name drawn out of a hit, they are games which allow your skills determine your outcomes. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather have my skills determine if I win or lose rather than a lucky number.

Enough! Lets get on with it. So, the projections below will be Fantazzle’s submission to the 2010 Fantasy Football Accuracy Challenge award. The point system is simple and we are only looking at QB/RB/WR/TE. No points per reception (PPR) and four points for a QB TD. And with that, please enjoy the rankings through agreement or whole heartedly ‘Youuuuu IDIOT!!!!’ I will respond to all comments that are not spam, personally!

2010 NFL Pro Bowler and Baltimore Raven RB Ray Rice is the new official sponsor of Fantazzle. With football season just around the corner, look for exciting fantasy football game promotions featuring Ray Rice to appear.

This is not the first time that Fantazzle has teamed up with a NFL player. In 2009, Steve Smith of the New York Giants joined the Fantazzle team and offered special fantasy football promotional games. Weekly fantasy football games had winners receiving autographed prizes from Smith. We also gave away a Pro Bowl trip for two if Fantazzle members voted for Steve Smith to reach the Pro Bowl.

Expect many similar games this upcoming football season with Ray Rice. We will be offering weekly fantasy football games that will include Ray Rice autographed materials and cash prizes. Expect other Ray Rice related games throughout the season as well.

Rice is poised to improve on his 2009 fantasy numbers when he was one of the top backs in the NFL. With an improved offense, Rice is projected to be a top back in the league yet again. Be sure to draft him in your 2010 fantasy football league.
