Whether you agree with the system surrounding college football or not, the hype and intensity surrounding the NCAA is very real. The Saturday night version of the game routinely produces perennial powerhouses, also rans, could have done betters and Cinderella stories. The view into the window looking at future NFL superstars growing into their future... Continue Reading →
Initial Player Rankings – The QB
From what I know and what I have learned, the absolute best way to optimize your fantasy draft and the players you pick is to create tiers. No matter the position, doing this will allow you to identify value in each round and focus your draft strategy. Break them down however you like and then... Continue Reading →
An informal look at the draft, maybe even potential bets!
As you will probably be aware if you've found this site, things happen slightly differently on the other side of the pond to over here. I think anyone who's made it this far probably has a pretty good knowledge of the game and doesn't need me dumbing it down for them. BUUUUUT just in case.... Continue Reading →
Suggested team records for next season, O/U (well, before Free agency anyway)
So as I mentioned in the previous post, Steve Fezzik - @FezzikSports (2 time winner of the Superbowl of sports betting) took the plunge and posted what he believed to be the wins/losses for all the teams for next season, let's take a look at them. (http://pregame.com/pregame-forums/f/9/t/1640859.aspx) - Also on the Ross Tucker even money... Continue Reading →
A very very early look towards next years Superbowl (yes really.)
So this is ridiculously early. But i wanted to get something down, as much for me to record what i was thinking at this time of the off seasons as anything else. Free agency is pretty much wrapped up. There's a few big name RBs still looking for teams. Jamaal Charles and AP are floating... Continue Reading →
Free Agency Roundup – @TouchdownTips
It's been 4 days since the NFL equivalent of the transfer window opened, and wow, what a hectic few days it has been! It all began at the start of last week when "legal tampering" a weird (oxymoron americanism) window opened, allowing teams to talk to players contracted to other teams and let them know...

Under the Hat – Fantasy 2016 Review. Wide Receivers @jayhatton49
So in the final part of this series of posts, the wide receiver. Much of this season was actually a disappointment for the position. Only 3 receivers scored 200 or more points which was the lowest since 2012 and only 4 players recorded 1000 yards and 10 TDs which was the lowest since 2011. The... Continue Reading →
Under the Hat – Fantasy 2016 Review. Kickers and Defense @jayhatton49
So thanks to the extra point being pushed back, the kicker has been pushed back into relevancy again. It is costing a few kickers jobs but man they are at least important again. So many games this year were lost because kickers miss an extra point, even the Patriots in the Superbowl had a usually... Continue Reading →
Under the Hat – Fantasy 2016 Review. Tight Ends @jayhatton49
The tight end position has gone through much change over the years. As the position title sort of suggests, he fits on the end of the offensive line and is both a blocker and able to release off the line of scrimmage and catch passes. They have to have strength and footwork of a 300lb... Continue Reading →
Under the Hat – Fantasy 2016 Review. Running Backs @jayhatton49
So Adam and I talked and thought it best to hold off the continuing review of the Fantasy Football season till after the Superbowl, and rightfully so because WOW. One of the best games I have ever seen and discussions about Brady as the best QB ever will continue forever. Personally I would always go... Continue Reading →
