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!

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!

Greetings everyone,

Week 9 in the NFL was a very exciting one. Weekly fantasy football managers got to enjoy the shootout between Green Bay and San Diego. Philip Rivers had easily his best game of the season with 385 yards and 4 touchdown passes. His score of 30 would have been higher if it weren’t for his 3 picks! Vincent Jackson had a huge day as well with 7 catches for 145 yards and 3 TD’s. Whoever had that QB/receiver combo on their fantasy team this week must have surely won their game.

Aaron Rodgers had a monstrous day too, throwing 4 touchdowns on 247 yards. Julio Jones finally broke through and caught the first touchdown passes of his young career. He finished the day with 3 catches for 131 yards and 2 scores. Arian Foster, Mike Tolbert, Michael Bush and Reggie Bush also had big Sundays with over 20 Fantazzle points each.

Kevin Faulk had a solid showing in week 8, and was supposed to play in week 9, but was ruled inactive just before kick off. In a time where bye weeks are still with us, Faulk could have been a nice fill-in play. Hakeem Nicks missed game action this week with a hamstring injury. It sounds as if he should be able to play in week 10. Malcom Floyd missed his game against the Packers with an ailing hip. Too bad though, he could have been a part of that shootout, but instead all the numbers went to Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates.

Joseph Addai was active for his game against the Falcons, but didn’t record a single carry or catch. Addai is dealing with a hamstring issue himself. I wouldn’t recommend him for any weekly salary cap fantasy football games even when healthy at this point. Ahmad Bradshaw was ruled out for week 9′s game against New England as he deals with a broken bone in his foot. It won’t require surgery, yet, but is the kind of nagging injury that can limit his production for the rest of the season. Brandon Jacobs shouldered the load with 18 carries, 72 yards, a touchdown and even added 4 catches for 28 yards.

Greetings Fantazzle Community,

Today we have for you a couple quick looks at the past week and a quick review of the week ahead for college football. Remember, the Fantasy Football Freeroll presented by Scorebig.com is now available to enter for free and is awarding over $200 in prizes!

NFL Week 8 – Here is a quick look at what went right and what went wrong this week in the fantasy world.

Ray Rice led a late surge as his Ravens prevailed over the Cardinals. His 99 total yards aren’t special, but his three touchdowns should make fantasy owners giddy, as they all came from one yard out, adding yet another dimension to his game.

Brent Celek was targeted nine times against the Cowboys; a second straight week in which Mike Vick looked his way on a consistent basis. He caught seven of those passes for 94 yards, including a nice TD in the back of the end zone.

Antonio Brown had a field day against a weak Patriots secondary. He caught a team high nine passes for 67 yards and a TD. The numbers aren’t eye popping, but dig a little deeper to find the most telling statistic. Brown was targeted 15 times on Sunday, giving him 63 targets on the year (compared to Mike Wallace’s 57).

Chris Johnson disappointed fantasy owners for the third consecutive week. The big difference this week was the opponent. The harmless Colts (surrendering the second most fantasy points to opposing RB’s) allowed only 34 yards on Johnson’s 14 carries, the fifth time in seven games in which Johnson has failed to average more than 2.7 yards per carry.

DeSean Jackson caught only three balls (on six targets) for 31 yards and has proven to be the Adam Dunn of the NFL. Jeremy Maclin is the consistent producer on the Eagles, and Jackson is the one who can win/lose you weeks.

Dez Bryant visited Nnamdi Asomugha Island on Sunday night and was held to just 28 yards on three catches. The most valuable Cowboy receiver will be whoever is declared the team’s second option by their opponent.

Enter now –> College Fantasy Football Salary Cap games

NCAAF – The week ahead is a huge one for the landscape of college football. Here’s a quick look at three games involving nationally ranked teams on both sidelines. My picks are in italics.

9 South Carolina @ 7 Arkansas

The Gamecocks surrender 17.1 points per game, which doesn’t sound bad at all, but when you include the fact that they have scored 24 or less points in five of their eight games, it becomes a fine line between winning and losing. They tend to excel in ugly games, where they simply outlast inferior teams, but Arkansas doesn’t fit that description. They are 4-0 in games decided by 10 points or less, and have a QB in Tyler Wilson who they trust to win them the game. Arkansas averages only 131.8 rushing yards per game, 83^rd in the country, which could be dangerous should South Carolina find a way to slow down the ninth most effective passing game in college football.

1 LSU @ 2 Alabama

When the top two teams in the nation meet up on Saturday, it will be the 46^th such occurrence. The nation’s top ranked team has dominated ranked teams by a combined score of 103-35 in three games. The Tigers rank third in the country in points allowed per game (11.5). Hard to imagine, but the Crimson Tide are better, and only surrender less than a TD per game (6.9 points). When the defense isn’t scoring points, the physical Trent Richardson is their focal point. The first team to 20 points should win this colossal game, and take over the #1 spot in the next BCS poll.

Good luck all and enjoy the games!

Hi everyone,

With the news that the Sunday Night Football game between the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles would be post-poned until Tuesday night due to bad weather, we wanted to reach out and inform anyone playing fantasy football games at Fantazzle that the Tuesday night game will count for your roster’s stats this week.

If you are playing a weekly fantasy football game at Fantazzle for Week 16, all stats for players involved in the Tuesday night game will be attributed to your fantasy roster.

In addition to the stats counting for the weekly fantasy football games, we also wanted to remind our fantasy football community members about our late night game, which will combine the Monday night and Tuesday night games this week.

Simply pick your roster from the players participating in the two night games between the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons, as well as the aforementioned Vikings and Eagles.

In all, the switch from Sunday night to Tuesday night will not affect your fantasy roster whatsoever, and just as exciting, the switch provides our fantasy community with more players to pick from in the special late night fantasy football games!

Play fantasy football tonight and win cash!

Hey all,

According to NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora, San Francisco 49ers’ star running back Frank Gore is done the the 2010 NFL season with a fractured hip, and is likely to be placed on season-ending injured reserve.

Gore’s likely replacement in the starting lineup will be the ageless wonder, veteran running back Brian Westbrook, while rookie back Anthony Dixon is likely to help share some of the load.

If you own Frank Gore in fantasy football, this is terrible news, and in many leagues, could be the nail in the coffin for your fantasy team. If you’re still in the hunt with good running back depth, kudos to you, but if not, we here at Fantazzle would like to reach out and remind you of our excellent weekly fantasy football games, heading into Week 13.

With our fantasy football games, injuries don’t impact you, as you have the opportunity to draft a new fantasy lineup each and every week, and on top of this, you have the option of competing against fellow fantasy football enthusiasts for cash prizes. Check out any number of our weekly games, and look out for our SuperStakes Sundays Playoff Game, which will be running through Weeks 14-16, allowing fantasy users to compete for huge cash prize pools!

Love fantasy football, but don’t have the money to compete in a high stakes event? No problem! Just play our cheaper entry fee games that range from $5-$50, where you can win each week without putting a ton of money on the line.

And if that doesn’t meet your needs, there’s always the FREE Ray Rice Fantasy Football game, which is run every single week, while awarding cash prizes to the top three finishers each week!

Don’t let major injuries drag your fantasy season down. Take hold of your fantasy football fortunes, as many other owners have, and laugh at major injuries to Tony Romo, Dallas Clark, Ryan Grant, Matthew Stafford, and now Frank Gore. At Fantazzle, you are always in control. Simply pick your game type, league size, and entry fee, and select the roster of fantasy studs and sleepers that you think will perform the best!

Also, if you’re signed up in one of our Season Long fantasy football games here at Fantazzle, remember to adjust your lineups and take Frank Gore out for Week 13 and going forward.

Good luck to all who play fantasy football games at Fantazzle this week!

Hey everyone,

As you probably already know, we launched our first ever Fantasy Baseball Playoff Games before the 2010 MLB playoffs began, giving our fantasy baseball community two fantasy baseball games to enjoy during the playoffs. With the MLB playoffs heading into the second round, now is the time to get back into the action with the second round of our Fantasy Baseball Playoff Challenge game!

Our Fantasy Baseball Championship Series Challenge game is now live, and will officially kick off tomorrow night (Friday) when the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers get the Championship Series started at 8 pm ET. All you have to do is pick the fantasy players who you think will perform the best out of the Phillies, Yankees, Giants and Rangers.  Our fantasy baseball playoff games operate with the same roster and scoring settings as our regular season games, with the only difference being that these last two games last for the entire round, and not just one day or week.

If for some reason you can’t take part for the second round, remember, we will have the Fantasy Baseball World Series Challenge game starting as soon as the ALCS and NLCS have come to a close! Get into the fantasy baseball action now and follow your favorite remaining players during the playoffs, while giving yourself a chance at winning some cash prizes!
