Redeposit Bonus Expires Tonight at 11:59PM ET

Monday, October 31st, 2011

Greetings everyone,

 

Just a quick reminder to top off your accounts today before the last re-deposit bonus of 2011 expires. Click here to make a deposit at Fantazzle Fantasy Sports now and get up to $200 for free. This is our way of thanking you, for depositing with us! As usual, let’s take a look at the players who had big weeks. Keep posted on our Monday blog session if you want to stay ahead and gain an edge on the competition.
Fred Jackson and LeSean McCoy each had yet another big fantasy day. Jackson ran for 120 yards and caught 3 passes for 74 yards; no touchdowns, but still highly productive. McCoy had a huge Sunday night game carrying the ball a career-high 30 times for 185 yards and 2 scores. He also added 2 catches for 15 yards.
Adrian Peterson got loose again on Sunday and is statistically, the best fantasy running back right now. AP totaled 162 yards from scrimmage and 2 touchdowns. These three running backs are the money makers for fantasy owners right now–all leagues. Antonio Brown is always a good sneaky play this year if you need a cheap receiver in fantasy football salary cap games. In week 8, Antonio Brown tallied 9 catches, 67 yards and a touchdown. He also added 93 return yards for those of you in leagues with points in the return game.
On to injuries, Hakeem Nicks aggravated his hamstring in the second half against Miami. He came out of the game and did not return. Before leaving, Nicks finished with 6 catches for 67 yards. Percy Harvin was able to play through his nagging rib injury and managed to score a rushing touchdown. Against popular thought, Beanie Wells was able to play against Baltimore and ran for 83 yards and a touchdown. The bad news is that he said he expects his knee issue to be a lingering problem for the rest of the season. We might want to stay away from him in weekly fantasy football salary cap games.
Lastly, the Fantasy Football Freeroll presented by Scorebig.com is Now Live and you can compete for over $200 in free prizes.
As always, have a winning week!

2011 Fantasy Football: Week 7

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

The 2011 Fantasy football season continues to roll on. Drew Brees had a monster day on Sunday, throwing for 31 completions, 325 yards and 5 touchdowns. TE Jimmy Graham had another big outing, catching 2 of those touchdowns. Marques Colston had 2 touchdown catches himself as the Saints offense just continues to roll. Anyone playing Fantazzle’s weekly fantasy football salary cap games should pick any of these 3 Saints players when setting their lineups for the week. They seem to be producing great fantasy numbers at a consistent clip right now, so pick them with confidence!

Many fantasy leagues out there have byes weeks to deal with. If you started Tim Tebow at quarterback like I did for the week because of bye’s, then you were rewarded. Tebow started the game of slow, but wound up bringing the Broncos back for a win and finished the day with a solid fantasy effort. He threw for 161 yards, 2 touchdowns, a 2-pt conversion and 65 rushing yards; not bad for a bye week fill in. Demaryius Thomas, who was a hot waiver wire pick up this week with Brandon Lloyd being traded to St. Louis, salvaged his day with a touchdown catch late in the comeback win, so I guess he panned out.

DeMarco Murray also had himself one of the biggest fantasy days in week 7 rushing for 253 yards and a touchdown! That was a new Cowboys single game record. Felix Jones may have to miss some more time with that performance from Murray. I’d like to see another big game from Murray however, before I start recommending him for your weekly fantasy football games.

Moving on to injuries, Tim Hightower left the game after piling up 88 yards on the ground with a left knee injury. It looked pretty significant and he was carted off the field. If you haven’t already, grab Roy Helu and Ryan Torain. Percy Harvin also left his game early after re-aggravating his rib cage area. Hopefully, he can play next week with Chris Ponder looking formidable behind center. And in a surprising move, Joseph Addai was able to play at the last second. Most people thought he would sit out this week, but Addai ended up trying to give it a go. It wasn’t much of a go as he totaled 2 catches for 11 yards and rushed for only 8 more! The Indy backfield is just a mess.

Check back with us next week for more updates on what went on in the NFL. Check us out at Fantazzle, we have great pick’em, salary cap and challenge games going on all the time.

Fantazzle 2009 Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Fantazzle Fantasy Football Games - 2009 Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings

Fantasy Football Ranking Credibility
In 2008, Fantazzle Fantasy Sports Games, was the #1 preseason fantasy football ranking site by the FSTA and Fantasy Football Librarian besting over 20 fantasy sites, including household names and leaders in sports and fantasy football.

Fantasy Football Kicker Rankings – Overall
Well, I gotta include them. I think that there is a little strategy here. Not much, but there are a couple of things I recommend. First is that you only need one kicker. NEVER waste a roster spot on two kickers. You are better served with picking up a super sleeper than having two kickers for your bye week or playing matchups. If you want to play matchups with kickers (using a kicker against a bend but don’t break defense, for example), then do it week to week, not during the draft. Secondly, I wouldn’t choose a kicker to the end of you draft. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the last pick of the draft, but it should be close. A reason why you would not pick a kicker in the last round is if you have 3 or 4 guys that are super sleepers you know will not be drafted. That way you can draft a ‘better’ kicker and still grab one of these guys. If you feel they all may be taken or you perceive one of the 3 or 4 guys to have slightly more upside, than take that guy and wait until the last round for a kicker.

I’m with most analysts in saying that its hard to predict how a kicker will do and even if you are confident one is better than the other, the point difference is usually small. That said, sometimes the difference between a win or loss is 1 or 2 pts that a kicker could get you. I did some research on kickers this year and found that there are several that you can count on to be in the ~top 10. Those guys are listed as Tier 1′s. The Tier 2′s are guys I feel have nice potential on a team that will give them opportunities AND have been consistent the past few years.

Fantasy Football Kickers Scoring
Standard. 1pt for an extra point; 3pts for a 1 to 39 yard FG; 4pts for a 40 to 49 yard FG; 5pts for a FG over 50 yards; -2pts for all misses

TIER 1 Fantasy Football Kickers
1 Jason Elam - With ATL’s offense better, a tougher schedule, and a worn down Turner, I look for Elam to have a big year.
2 Stephen Gostkowski – A solid top ~5 kicker the past few years.
3 Rob Bironas - A solid top ~5 kicker the past few years.

TIER 2 Fantasy Football Kickers
4 Robbie Gould – Already a solid kicker, Cutler should give him more chances.
5 David Akers - Philly’s O is the best in years. Akers is solid and should get more chances.
6 Mason Crosby
7 Ryan Longwell
8 Nate Kaeding – Very solid each year…except last year, but SD will be much better from start to finish.
9 Neil Rackers – You know they’ll score. If AZ regresses just a bit, then Rackers will get more FG chances.
10 Nick Folk – He’s gotta watch out for the scoreboard.
11 John Kasay
12 Lawrence Tynes – He’ll get a lot of chances and his injury last year is not a concern.

Fantasy Football Kickers – Conclusion
I like the T1s to be above the pack, but not by much. If you get them, great. If you don’t, no worries. The other guys will be fine and there won’t be a major difference. If for some reason you don’t get one of these guys or your guy is not doing very well, don’t be afraid to play the matchups. Its pretty easy research. Check out the weather reports first and foremost. If the weather isn’t a factor, look at the team your kicker is playing against and see how many Field Goals they have been giving up the past several games. I think you can count on ~20-25 kickers to be worthy of a start any given week. After that its just a matter of looking if the team they are playing against seems to give up a lot of FGs. DO NOT look at TDs given up. An extra point is nothing. I’d rather have upside of getting 3 FGs instead of 6 extra points.

Take care,

Fantazzle 2009 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Fantazzle Fantasy Football Games – 2009 Running Back Rankings

Ranking Credibility
In 2008, Fantazzle Fantasy Sports Games, was the #1 preseason fantasy football ranking site by the FSTA and Fantasy Football Librarian besting over 20 fantasy sites, including household names and leaders in sports and fantasy football.

Fantasy Football Running Backs – Overall
Running back strategy has shifted. You have heard it before and I’ll repeat: if you don’t have one of the first 4 overall picks, you’re taking a chance at this position. In the first round you want a sure thing and running backs just don’t offer that anymore. Split time, injury concerns, inconsistency, you name it. If I’m in the bottom half of the draft order, I’m picking WRs with my first two picks and stacking up on RBs with upside starting in round 3 through 6 (depending on how the draft goes, ONE of those picks may be for a QB or WR if certain guys fall to you).

Running back is by far the hardest position to rank. As of August 28th, there are 7 to 8 teams that haven’t given a clear position of who the starter is or how much time the named starter will play. For all other positions, you know who is starting and in most cases, you know these guys will play 90-100% of snaps. At running back, there is no guarantee that someone like Addai or Barber or even DeAngelo will play as much as expected. Thats why you can’t count on these guys and should stockpile in later rounds. You want as much a sure thing as possible in the first couple rounds.

Fantasy Football Running Backs Scoring
Standard. 6pts TD; 1pt every 10 yards; -2pts fumble (no points for receptions)

RUNNING BACKS TIER 1
1 Adrian Peterson — #1 in non-PPR leagues.
2 Matt Forte — #1 in PPR leagues.
3 Maurice Jones Drew
4 Michael Turner

RUNNING BACKS TIER 2
5 LaDainian Tomlinson
6 DeAngelo Williams — Hard schedule; Overrated.
7 Frank Gore
8 Chris Johnson
9 Brandon Jacobs — If he plays all 16 games, he can be ~#5.
10 Marion Barber — F Jones will help, rather than hurt ranking.
11 Clinton Portis

RUNNING BACKS TIER 3
12 Brian Westbrook — Really hard to rank given his injury history. I’m not drafting.
13 Steven Jackson — See BW…only he plays for a much worse team. I’m not drafting.

RUNNING BACKS TIER 4
14 Kevin Smith — No RBBC here. Big potential.
15 Steve Slaton
16 Julius Jones — Value Pick.
17 Ryan Grant
18 Ronnie Brown
19 Pierre Thomas
20 Larry Johnson — High-risk, high-reward
21 Derrick Ward — Value Pick.
22 Darren McFadden

RUNNING BACKS TIER 5
23 Marshawn Lynch — Top 15 if no suspension.
24 Thomas Jones — I’m staying away.
25 Joseph Addai
26 Jonathan Stewart
27 Ray Rice
28 Cedric Benson
29 Willie Parker
30 Knowshon Moreno — Who knows….
31 Reggie Bush — Always a disappointment.
32 Chris ‘Beanie’ Wells

RUNNING BACKS TIER 6
33 Willis McGahee
34 Felix Jones
35 James Davis
36 Michael Bush
37 Rashard Mendenhall
38 LenDale White
39 Donald Brown
40 LeShon McCoy — Major upside
41 Ahmad Bradshaw
42 Kevin Faulk — Not drafting any NE RBs.
43 Tim Hightower
44 Earnest Graham — I think D. Ward is going to produce.
45 Jamal Lewis — Not drafting even if its round 16
46 Fred Jackson
47 Correll Buckhalter
48 Darren Sproles
49 Glen Coffee
50 Shonn Greene — Helluva keeper league pick.

Fantasy Football Running Backs – Conclusion
The tiers are incredibly important. If you don’t have a top 4 pick, then stay away from RB. Look at Tier 2. How many of those guys do you feel 99% confident on? Tier 3, do you feel 50% confident they’ll be healthy? There are no sure things in Tier 4 or 5, but if you grab 3 or 4 of these guys and 1 or 2 Tier 6 (and free agent pickups), your bound to get two RBs you start week to week. Don’t risk your top picks with guys you can’t fully feel confident on. Go for a guy you can count on in another position.

Good luck to you all! QB and TE coming Sunday. WR shortly after.
