With the final week and a half remaining on the MLB regular season schedule, 2011 fantasy football is kicking into full swing with week 2 now almost completely in the books after tonight’s Monday night game (Giants vs. Rams). There are a few injuries for this last week of baseball that I’ll go over. In the meantime, get ready for some more fantasy football games at Fantazzle, heading into week 3.

OF, Jason Kubel/Minnesota Twins: Currently dealing with a sprained left foot, Jason Kubel may even be shut down for the rest of the season. Even if he is not shut down, his playing time will be limited. Anyone considering Kubel for a daily or weekly fantasy game should look elsewhere for outfield help.

OF, Shin-Soo Choo, Cleveland Indians: Choo will be shut down for the remainder of the regular season with a left rib cage injury. Shin-Soo was pretty much hurt all year and only played in 84 games this season. He only hit .259 all year and probably disappointed most fantasy owners who had high hopes for him this year, considering the solid campaign he had in 2010. Look for a healthy Shin-Soo Choo to try and bounce back something serious in 2012.

3B, Kevin Youkilis, Boston Red Sox: Kevin Youkilis has missed the last three games in dealing with several nagging injuries that he has going on. His hip is bothering him and is also dealing with a case of sports hernia. Manager Terry Francona doesn’t know exactly when Youkilis will be ready to play, but just knows that he needs some down time to relax and heal up a bit. Anyone involved in the daily or weekly fantasy games at Fantazzle would be wise to shy away from Youk for the remainder of the 2011 regular season.

As always, we’ll be having our college salary cap fantasy football games going on at Fantazzle and our NFL salary cap games going on as well. Try the free games or put some money on the line and win big. You can also play pick’em games which are a lot of fun. All you have to do is pick between two players, whoever you think is going to have the bigger game–winner takes all! We talk about these kinds of things all the time anyway amongst our friends, so why not get paid something to do it?

As always, enjoy the week

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

Hey Football Fans,

We have another exciting week of Fantasy Football headed our way, and the best place to find all kinds of fantasy football games is at Fantazzle. With the NFL season about to be under way, you can find Fantasy Football games at Fantazzle available from week 1 on into the playoffs. Check out our 2011 Fantasy Football Games for weekly, monthly, and seasonal football games for the NFL with the first games kicking off at 8:30 PM EST September 8th!

We are also very excited to get into our second week of 2011 College Fantasy Football at Fantazzle. Take a look at these one-of-a-kind college fantasy football games available exclusively at Fantazzle. Games will start both on Thursday at 8 PM and Friday at 7 PM.

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!

Good Afternoon,

Many of the players who were traded right before the deadline this season are making good first impressions so far with their new teams. Michael Bourn has started off well with Atlanta, Hunter Pence is swinging a hot bat in Philly, Furcal is hitting well with the Cards and Colby Rasmus is starting to heat up with Toronto.

While the players above will continue to contribute to their fantasy owners’ success, look for these names below to be possible candidates to miss some action in the coming days or weeks:

OF, Melky Cabrera/Kansas City Royals: Melky Cabrera was pulled from Saturday night’s game because of a sore left ankle. He hurt that same left ankle earlier in the week, so he might get extended time off for the ankle to fully recover. He was scratched from Sunday’s game and whether he will play or not on Monday, against the Rays, is yet to be seen. The Royals don’t seem to be making too much of the issue, so for right now it doesn’t seem too serious. Melky is considered day-to-day for now.

C/DH, Victor Martinez/Detroit Tigers: V-mart twisted his knee while trying to avoid a tag at home plate during Saturday’s game. He was scratched from the lineup on Sunday against the Royals. Jim Leyland did say however, that Martinez looked better and was walking around comfortably at the hotel and onto the team bus, which was a very positive sign. Considering this news, look for V-Mart to miss maybe a few starts at worst or none at all. A trip to the DL would be a surprise.

SS, Jose Reyes/New York Mets: Jose Reyes left in the second inning of Sunday’s ball game against Atlanta with tightness in his left hamstring; the same hamstring that landed him on the DL in July. Whether Jose Reyes goes back to the disabled list or not, it doesn’t look like he’ll be a full go for much baseball this week anyway, so keep him on your benches for week 19 of fantasy baseball.

Remember all, the lingerie Football Fantasy League season is coming around the corner. The girls will be starting their season on August 26, 2011, at 9pm CT with the Minnesota Valkyrie facing the Green Bay Chill with the playoffs beginning  January 28, 2012. So don’t forget to play the LFL Fantasy Football game powered by Fantazzle and select your dime pieces to carry you to glory!

Fantazzle’s Game of Gurus begins again tonight and there is still a $1,000 prize waiting to be had — Compete against Baseball Reflections! On top of that there are guaranteed prizes and bonus prizes each week! We also have weekly fantasy baseball, daily fantasy baseball challenge and salary cap starting tonight at 7:05pm ET!

Enjoy your week!
