We've reached the end of the line. In many fantasy football leagues, Week 13 is the final week of the fantasy regular season. Some teams have already clinched a spot in the postseason tournament and are just jockeying for position and a potential first-round bye. Others still have been eliminated but are hoping to take as many folks down with them …

It’s Deshaun Watson’s world. The rest of us are just living in it. The rookie quarterback for the Houston Texans (and your 2017 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year – book it) put on yet another show in Week 8, topping 400 passing yards and tossing four touchdowns in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It was a performance that lifted any number of fantasy…

We’ve already hit Week 8 of the 2017 NFL season. The fantasy football campaign is already into the second half, and soon the stretch run for the playoffs will begin. For many fantasy owners, that makes the edict clear – win this week, or there may not be a stretch run to worry about. As usual, the NFL isn’t making things any easier for fantasy owne…

Five weeks into any season, a solid percentage of fantasy football owners are going to be anxious. Nervous. Freaking out, even. After the Week 5 we just saw go down, the percentage is probably lying somewhere between 97 and 106. It’s not just that some squads are the fantasy equivalent of the New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers and sitting at …

We’ve hit the quarter-pole of the 2017 NFL season, and with it the first fourth of this year’s fantasy regular season. And just like the three weeks before them, Week 4 was a wild one that left many fantasy owners reeling. In Week 4 alone we saw… A rookie quarterback (Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans) roll up over 300 passing yards and five tot…

We’re two weeks into the 2017 NFL (and fantasy football) season, and for every thing we know about the year there are three things we don’t. We knew that Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints and Tom Brady of the New England Patriots were going to be OK, and sure enough they rebounded in Week 2. But raise your hand if you had Trevor Siemian of the D…

Week 1 is in the books. The first week of NFL action in 2017 featured more than a few great performances. Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford threw four touchdown passes in yet another fourth-quarter comeback. Jacksonville Jaguars tailback Leonard Fournette racked up 100 rushing yards in his NFL debut. And Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Antonio…

The day of reckoning has finally arrived – almost. On Thursday night, the Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Gillette Stadium to face the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots in the season opener of the 2017 NFL season. By the time the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos finish out the weekend with the second contest of a Monday night double…

Over the last month, we here at the Feeding Frenzy have been busily getting folks ready for the 2017 season. We’ve queried the quarterbacks. Ruminated on the running backs. Wondered on the wide receivers. And theorized on the tight ends. And now, with but one big draft weekend before Week 1 of the 2017 NFL season gets underway, just one group of pl…

We’re nearing the end of August. This week teams across the National Football League will hold all their all-important “dress rehearsal” third preseason game. And there are just two big fantasy draft weekends to go before the 2017 NFL season opens at Gillette Stadium. There will be thousands of fantasy drafts this weekend, and drafters far and wide…

The beginning of the 2017 NFL regular season is drawing closer by the day. On Thursday, the second full week of the preseason will be underway. And fantasy football draft season is kicking into high gear. As fantasy enthusiasts far and wide get ready to pick their teams for the upcoming campaign, it’s time for the gang at the Fantasy Football Feedi…

We’re into the month of August. The Hall of Fame Game is in the books. And later this week the preseason begins in earnest. And with it that most wonderful time of year in fantasy football… Fantasy draft season. Last week here at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy, we discussed the quarterbacks. This week the focus of the gang at the FFFF (or 4F, …

Get your sleeping bags and s’mores makers ready – it’s camping time! OK, it’s not that kind of camping. It’s even better. It’s NFL Training Camp time, and that can mean only one thing. It’s also fantasy draft season – or will be soon. With that in mind, the guys at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy are kicking off their 2017 position previews – b…

It’s summertime. The kids are out of school. Grills are going across the country. And it’s time for an annual ritual that’s as American as apple pie. Camp. It’s time for songs around the campfire. Tasty s’mores. And padless practices where contact is a big ol’ no-no. Those things may not all be happening in the same place. It’s time for organized t…

Now that the 2017 NFL Draft is in the books, drafts of a different sort are cropping up all over the place. In these drafts, there won’t be a whole lot of working out – you’re more likely to see 40 ounces than 40 times. But the folks involved still take the festivities plenty seriously. It’s rookie draft season in dynasty fantasy football leagues. …

After months of waiting, tons of speculation and enough scuttlebutt to fill a missile silo, it’s finally go-time, folks. The 2017 NFL Draft is almost here. On Thursday night the focus of football fans everywhere will be on Philadelphia, as we find out the answers to a great many questions that have been asked almost since the moment Super Bowl LI c…

It’s almost go time. In just one week, the 2017 NFL Draft will officially get underway in Philadelphia. Months of speculation, scuttlebutt and mock drafts galore will finally, blissfully give way to the real deal. Last week the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy looked at the top quarterbacks and running backs in the Class of 2017. That leaves two off…

The big day is almost here! OK – days. We’re just about two weeks out from the 2017 NFL Draft in Philadelphia, when this year’s rookie class will find out where their NFL careers will begin. It’s three days that will send shockwaves across the National Football League – and the fantasy football landscape. And as such, it’s time for the gang at the …

The 2017 edition of free agency in the NFL is nearing one month old. Over a billion dollars in contracts have been awarded, and any number of players of interest to fantasy football owners have found new homes. At running back, Adrian Peterson remains unsigned, as does Jamaal Charles. The biggest name to switch teams is one of the NFL’s biggest bac…

The “Underwear Olympics” is here! This week, 330 of college football’s best and brightest will descend on Lucas Oil Stadium for the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine. There will be tests and interviews and drills galore – drills that will help determine the pecking order for the 2017 NFL draft. And with it the pecking order for this year’s rookie crop in f…

There have been 266 football games in the NFL this season. Now just one more remains – Super Bowl LI in Houston, Texas. It’s a classic “offense vs. defense” matchup, as well as a battle of youth vs. experience. In one corner, you have the NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons, making their second appearance in the Super Bowl and first in almost 20 years. Th…

The fantasy football season may be over, but the NFL season is just starting to really heat up. That’s because whether Jim Mora wants us to or not, it’s time to start talking playoffs. This weekend eight of the NFL’s 12 postseason participants will battle in the Wild Card round. And there are sub-plots galore. Will the battle of bad quarterbacks in…

It’s Week 14. The playoffs have begun in many fantasy football leagues. And that means the time for small talk is done. I could sit here and complain about the dud that New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees posted in Week 13, and how that dud killed many a fringe playoff team’s chances this year. Or I could complain about how Cam Newton of the …

It's the end of the world as we know it -- and I feel FINE. OK, so it's not the end of the world -- maybe. But it is the end of the fantasy football regular season in many leagues. By the time the dust settles in Week 13, some teams will be moving on to the postseason, while others will begin the long, slow wait for draft season 2017 next summer. F…

Hard though it may be to believe, it's Week 11 of the 2016 NFL season already. We're well into the fantasy playoff stretch run. Time flies when you're having fun, huh? At least some folks are. The ones who drafted Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans ar…

It's Week 9 of the 2016 NFL season already. And this week brings with it the bye week blues. For the second consecutive week, six NFL teams are on a bye, leaving many fantasy owners scrambling to fill a hole in their lineups. For fantasy owners who made it through Tom Brady's four-game suspension and who have been enjoying the huge numbers Brady ha…

It's the eighth week of the 2016 fantasy football season, and that means a couple of things. First, the fantasy regular season is entering the second half. That means that every week's matchups take on added importance -- especially for fantasy squads desperately clinging to hopes of making the playoffs. Second, with six teams on a bye this week an…

We've reached the halfway point of the 2016 fantasy football regular season. And for every player who has met or exceeded expectations, there's been one who disappointed. If you drafted Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, you're no doubt pleased that he's fantasy's top-ranked passer through six games this year. But if you pulled the trigger seve…

We're five weeks into the 2016 fantasy football campaign -- almost halfway home. Maybe your team is 5-0 and 4-1. You've ridden the arm of Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons and the legs of David Johnson of the Arizona Cardinals. His teammate Larry Fitzgerald has continued to defy Father Time and rack up fantasy points for your team. Life, as they say…

We've made it through four weeks of the 2016 NFL season -- a month into this year's fantasy football campaign. And we've already learned a valuable lesson. We don't know nearly as much as we thought we did. Sure, we figured a quarterback from the NFC South would be the top fantasy option at his position. But very few people believed that quarterbac…

We've hit the last week of September, and by the time Week 4 has concluded the 2016 fantasy season will be a quarter of the way home. It would be great if that meant we had the fantasy landscape figured out. Far from it. There have been surprises galore at every position. Through three games, Denver Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian has more fanta…

"And lo, the carnage did spread far and wide across the land. And the runners did fall in droves. And the owners did weepeth." -- The Book of Week 2. The fantasy football landscape for 2016 was altered in a big way in Week 2, as the running back position was absolutely decimated by injuries. Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings (knee) and Ameer…

We're rolling now. Week 1 of the 2016 NFL season is in the books -- and with it another season of fantasy football has begun. There were some happenings across the NFL that we expected. We thought that New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown would have big games, and they didn't disappoint. Some…

The big day is finally here. After free agency gave way to the 2016 NFL draft, and the draft gave way to training camp, and training camp gave way to the preseason, the day that fans of both the NFL and Fantasy Football have been anxiously awaiting has arrived. Thursday the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos will meet in a rematch of Super Bowl 5…

The time has finally come. In just one week, the 2016 NFL regular season will begin, with the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos meeting in a rematch of Super Bowl 50.

The Fantasy Foo…

And here at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy, we're continuing our position-by-position look at the 2016 season. This week, it's the tight ends -- otherwise known as the Kingdom of Gronkia. There's zero doubt…

The times have changed in fantasy football. For many years, the first round was all about the RB position. That, however, is not the case in 2016. In fact, the top five in most leagues has been all about superstar wide receivers. There's Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the consensus pick as this year's No. 1 overall selection. Odell Beckh…

For years and years, running backs were the unquestioned kings of fantasy football. The first round of fantasy drafts was dominated by the position, As went the backfield, so went your fantasy squad. Now, however, the times have changed. The pass-wacky ways of today's NFL, the emergence of committee backfields and an alarming number of first-round …

The calendar has turned to July, and then can mean only one thing -- fantasy football draft season is right around the corner! With that in mind, it's time for the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy to being looking at this year's player pool in earnest. And where better to begin than at quarterback, the NFL's most important position? Of c…

It's been a few weeks since the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy gathered to do a show. Stuff happens, so they say. There were personal matters that needed attending to and all that. And besides -- it's not like early June is really an "impact" month where fantasy football is concerned. But those are coming -- soon. Mandatory OTAs have f…

We're in the midst of something of a fantasy football "dead zone." The NFL draft has come and gone, but even in dynasty formats the majority of leagues won't be holding their drafts for a few weeks. However, if you think that's going to stop the gang at the Fantasy Football Feeding Frenzy from getting together to talk shop, then you just don't know…

The 2016 NFL draft is in the books. From the Los Angeles Rams and Jared Goff at No. 1 to the Tennessee Titans and Kalan Reed at No. 253, over 250 young men now know where their NFL careers will begin. Hundreds more have signed with teams in the days since as undrafted free agents. And now that we know where top rookies like quarterback Carson Wentz…

March is giving way to April, many Pro Days are in the rearview mirror, and draft season has hit the home stretch. That means that it's time to continue our annual talks with young players preparing to make the leap from college to (hopefully) the NFL. This week Fantasy Sharks Staff Writers Gary Davenport and Walton Spurlin welcome in Central Arkan…

We're just over a week into free agency in the National Football League, and what a wild week it's been. The New York Giants spent like they can't take it with them, making defensive end Olivier Vernon the NFL's richest defensive end. The Denver Broncos now face the very real possibility of starting the 2016 season with Mark Sanchez (yes, that Mark…
