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.

The fantasy football playoff games are in full swing at Fantazzle. At quarterback, once again, Drew Brees headlines our report as he  threw for 466 yards and 3 touchdowns on Wild Card Weekend. Matthew Stafford was right behind him though with 380/3/2. Most impressive was Tim Tebow’s heroic efforts against the vaunted Steelers. Tebow finished his day with 316 passing yards and 2 touchdowns. He also carried 10 times for 50 yards and a score.

Arian Foster led the playoff weekend for running backs with 153 yards and 2 scores on 24 carries. Isaac Redman is next in line for fantasy running back accolades as he ran for 121 yards on 17 touches. He would have had a touchdown, but got clipped up right at the goaline.

Calvin Johnson was a man amongst boys this Wild Card Weekend. Against the Saints, Megatron pulled in 12 catches for 211 yards and 2 TD’s. Demaryius Thomas had 4, 204 and 1, Marques Colston went 7 for 120 and Hakeem Nicks finished his day with 6, 115 and 2. It was an exciting week of first round playoff fantasy football and we can’t wait for more of the same next week.

In the world of weekly fantasy basketball games, things are popping off already. Zach Randolph has a torn medial collateral knee ligament which is going to sideline him for the next seven weeks! Marreese Speights was traded to Memphis over from Philly to help fill the void for Memphis while Randolph sits out. Speights debuted with a 17 point, 7 rebound effort Sunday against the Lakers–pick him up, Marreese Speights has proved effective when given the minutes.

If your playing weekly salary cap fantasy basketball and you need some bang for your buck, go with Ryan Anderson, power forward/center for the Orlando Magic. He’s currently the 6th ranked fantasy player and he’ll be a bit cheaper then some of the other big name forwards. He’ll get you the same type of numbers or if not better! He can hit three’s, grab rebounds and score points as his season averages are 18 pts/7.3 rebs/ 3.2 3ptm per game. Another guy I like this season is Jose Calderon. He’s fourth in the league in total assists behind Rajon Rondo, Steve Nash and Derrick Rose. Calderon is averaging 12.4 pts and 9.4 assists a game. He won’t be too expensive in the salary cap format, so make good use of him and ride him to your weekly prize money.

The NFL regular season is finally over. It seems like it ended just as soon as it started. The fantasy football season isn’t over yet however, as we still have plenty of weekly fantasy football games for you to play at Fantazzle. Don’t hesitate to try out all the fantasy football playoff games. Fantasy basketball is now in full swing, so I’ll be talking about big time stats and performers in the NBA.

If your planning on taking part in our fantasy basketball games, you’ll want to get defensive-minded players into your lineup. On Fantazzle, blocks and steals are each worth 2 points a piece. DeAndre Jordan, Emeka Okafor, Javale McGee, Marcus Camby and Dwight Howard are all guys you will want to consider. They get tons of rebounds and blocks as well!

Guys that get a lot of steals like Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo, Andre Iguodala, John Wall and Jason Kidd will also have plenty of value. Remember, steals and blocks are worth two points each, so use it to your advantage. Try and get a bunch of block guys who can also score points and grab plenty of rebounds. Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard and LaMarcus Aldridge are good examples of that. Derrick Rose is also another example of a great fantasy basketball player in that he scores points in bunches and will also provide plenty of steal numbers.

Check in with us every Monday for the sports blog to see my advice on fantasy friendly players. When there is money on the line don’t hesitate to seek out some advice on who to take. Remember, when playing in any fantasy sports games, it’s always important to check out the scoring settings before selecting your team. Also be sure to listen to our weekly fantasy sports podcast where we always have a wealth of information to give you on fantasy sports players. Just take a look to the right hand side of the screen and you will see the podcast in green. Once again, have a productive week and let’s all enjoy the never ending fantasy sports season!

Jumping right into things, Matt Ryan (22/320/4) and Tony Romo (21/321/4) led the day in fantasy points for quarterbacks. Late in the second half against Tennessee, Drew Brees salvaged his fantasy day finishing right behind Tony Romo and Matt Ryan with 36 completions, 337 yards and 2 touchdowns. Tom Brady was the 4th best fantasy QB in week 14, finishing with 22/357/3.

Mojo, Maurice Jones-Drew, was the big story among non-quarterbacks in fantasy this week. He finished with 85 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns on the ground to go along with another 6 catches for 51 yards and 2 more touchdowns–a total of 4 touchdowns on the day! Mojo is our MVP for week 14. Tight end, Rob Gronkowski was our second MVP of the day, finishing behind Maurice Jones-Drew for most fantasy points scored among non-quarterbacks. Gronkowski had 6 catches, 160 yards and 2 touchdowns. He now has 15 receiving touchdowns on the season, which is a new, NFL single-season record.

Shonn Greene had 129 yards on the ground with a touchdown and 3 catches for 58 yards, while Marques Colston continued to stay hot with 7/105/2. Larry Fitzgerald went 7/149/1 and on Thursday night, Antonio Brown was the man, finishing with 5/151/1. If your still playing weekly fantasy football, roll all of these guys with confidence.

On to major injuries, Greg Jennings is the headline for week 14. Against Oakland, Jennings may have torn his MCL, which would take about 2-6 for recovery. That means that he’ll probably be done for all 2011 weekly fantasy football games. Look for Donald Driver to try and step in and fill the void. Ben Roethlisberger suffered a high left ankle sprain on Thursday night football, but was able to return to the game in the second half. If he was able to come back in the game on Thursday, then the long week of rest will get him ready for his next game against San Francisco on Monday night.

Adrian Peterson missed his third straight game with that bum ankle, but plans to play in week 15 against New Orleans. Nate Washington was able to tough out his ankle injury and was able to put up a 6/130/1 line against the Saints. Mario Manningham returned from a knee injury suffered in practice a couple weeks ago and was back to his old ways of dropping Eli’s perfect looking touchdown passes.

Everyone be sure to check out all our cool games over at Fantazzle. We feature brand new college fantasy football games and would love for you to give them a try. The 2011 fantasy basketball season will also be getting underway during Christmas day, so be sure to come over and get your prize money lineups set! As always, enjoy the week.

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.

Week 12 is almost behind us. It came as fast as it’s going to leave and week 13 will be here before we know it, so let’s get moving. Tom Brady had the biggest day for quarterbacks, tossing 24 completions for 361 yards and 3 scores. Ryan Fitzpatrick finally broke out and gave owners the big game they’ve been looking for, going 24/264/3. That’s fantasy for you! Who would have thought Fitzpatrick would go off against the Jet pass defense like that?

Mark Sanchez surprised everyone by throwing 4 touchdown passes on 180 yards and Matt Ryan threw 3 touchdown passes too. Vince Young also had a big day against the Patriots throwing for 400 yards and a touchdown. Wes Welker had the biggest day for non-quarterbacks. He caught 8 balls for 115 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Johnny Knox had the second biggest day in fantasy amongst non-quarterbacks catching 4 passes for 145 yards and score. He also added 133 return yards. This was Knox’ second productive game in a row. Could this be a trend? Watch Johnny Knox in week 13 closely to see what happens. He could be a bargain in weekly salary cap fantasy football games.

Laurent Robinson is next in line for our big game performers for week 12. He went 7/79/2. Percy Harvin did what he does and gave his owners 8/95/1 to go along with 104 return yards. He would have had a touchdown on his long kick return, but got knocked down right at about the 3 or 4 yard line, bummer! Beanie Wells rushed for a career-high 228 yards and a touchdown against St. Louis. Roy Helu was also big on Sunday. Helu went for 108 rushing with 1 TD and caught 7 passes for 54 yards against the Seahawks. Helu was definitely a weekly fantasy football steal.

Moving on to injuries, Andre Johnson finally came back this week after missing 6 games with a hamstring injury. He might have some rust to shake off as justified by his 2 catch, 22 yard performance. Either that, or Matt Leinart could have had something to do with that. Fred Jackson was placed on IR a couple days before Sunday’s game, so C.J. Spiller got the bulk of the work. He ran for 55 yards and added 3 catches for 15 yards.

LT missed another game for the Jets dealing with that knee. Julio Jones missed his game with the Vikings because of his hamstring, leaving all the work for Roddy White (10/120/1) and Adrian Peterson was held out as expected because of that high ankle sprain. We’ll see if he can’t give it a go next week.

As always, be sure to get on over to Fantazzle and check out all the weekly fantasy football games we have for you over there. We feature college fantasy football games and pickem games too! You can either play for free, or try and play the money games for cash prizes. I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving week, now, it’s time for Christmas!

What’s up fantasy nation? Hopefully you’re ready for a Thanksgiving filled with great food and family time, not to mention some great football.

Fantazzle is honoring Thursday’s holiday with a “Turkey Day Special”, and I am here to help you select your roster for this fantasy football event. With three great games in the NFL and a rivalry that features two Texas teams in college football, there is no shortage of fantasy studs in action. Here are three players to include on your Thanksgiving day roster, and three players to avoid.

SALARY CAP FANTASY FOOTBALL: TURKEY DAY SPECIAL–> PLAY NOW!

Running Back

Yes, Reggie Bush has been solid of late, and you likely missed out on a week or two of production because you were skeptical. But don’t let that affect your decision making, as he isn’t worth starting this week against a top 5 run defense in Dallas. Instead, I advise taking a flyer on the Packers Ryan Grant. James Starks is banged up and appears to be on the wrong side of questionable, meaning Grant will get a solid workload. This is Rodgers team, but Detroit struggles to stop the run, and the Pack to look to establish Grant.

Wide Receiver

I’m not a Dolphins hater, but I am down on Brandon Marshall as well on Turkey Day. Dallas gives up the seventh fewest points to opposing wide receivers, and Marshall figures to be their main concern. Davone Bess would be the better value this week than Brandon Marshmellow (stay in the food theme with the holiday). I also like Laurent Robinson, who has recorded a score in four straight game, for as long as Miles Austin is sidelined.

Tight End

Vernon Davis is a tough match up, but Baltimore’s defense typically shows up in marquee games. I think they keep him out of the end zone, and hold him to under 80 yards. Brandon Pettigrew will outperform Davis in what figures to be a high scoring game against the Packers. Green Bay gives up the second most fantasy points to opposing TE’s: that combined with a hot Stafford works in Pettigrew’s favor.

As for the lone college game on the schedule, Texas and Texas A&M square off. One name jumps out from this game as potential game breakers: receiver Ryan Swope from A&M. With the teams stud RB Cyrus Gray highly questionable, I expect more of an aerial attack, with Swope being the teams top option. Since October 15, Swope is averaging 1.5 touchdowns per game. He has at least eight catches in all but one of those games, and should be heavily targeted on Thanksgiving.

For updates, fantasy line-up help, fun conversation on who to sit and start, key match-ups and guys we like to have big, productive weeks or down weeks, listen to our WEEKLY FANTASY FOOTBALL PODCAST presented by Fantasy Football Sportal, or you can just look over to the right hand side and listen to them right there from the green podcast box.

Wishing a happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

Week 10 in the NFL gave us yet another exciting day of football. There were plenty of big performances and of course, lots of injuries to go around. Let’s take a look at which players either helped or hurt their owners the most this week in 2011 weekly fantasy football games. Laurent Robinson filled in admirably for the ailing Miles Austin by grabbing 3 catches for 73 yards and 2 touchdowns. That’s his third straight game with at least one touchdown catch and will get the start again next week against the struggling Redskins.

Rob Gronkowski is playing like he’s the best tight end in the league right now. On Sunday night against the Jets, Gronkowski was targeted often and early en route to an 8 catch, 113 yard, 2 touchdown game. The guy is fast, big, can catch and Tom Brady loves going to him, so I wouldn’t bet my chips on anyone else right now at the TE position.

Arian Foster got loose on the Tampa Bay Bucs for 2 touchdowns on 186 total yards and 4 receptions. What else is new? Tony Romo had easily one of his best games of the season with a 148.4 passer rating against the Bills. He completed 23 passes for 270 yards and 3 touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald also had a huge day in week 10, catching 7 passes for 146 and 2 scores. Demarco Murray also had another highly productive game. He ran for 135 yards, 1 touchdown and caught 6 passes for 36 yards. Roll these guys with confidence for your fantasy football salary cap games in week 11.

As for injuries, Knowshon Moreno tore his ACL in the first quarter against Kansas City. Consider him done for the year! Lance Ball should make for a worthy add, as he ran for 96 yards on 30 carries against K.C. Miles Austin is slated to miss two more weeks with that hamstring, so make sure to add Laurent Robinson for the time being–all leagues. Jermaine Gresham returned to action after missing his last two games with a bum hamstring and went 4/23/1. Andre Johnson missed his 6th game this week even though he had been running for most of the week in practice. Jacoby Jones and Arian Foster were the beneficiaries. Kevin Walter kept on run blocking.

GUARANTEED CASH PRIZE TOURNAMENT–>PLAY NOW

As always, make sure to get on over to Fantazzle and set your lineups for the weekly salary cap fantasy football contests and/or fantasy football pickem games. We have college fantasy football too!  At Fantazzle, we’re always having promotions and we’re always having fun, don’t miss out.

Enjoy the week
