Fantasy Scrambler: AFC, NFC South Report
The AFC South division has been somewhat of a surprise so far. The Colts, at 5-2, sit on top of the division after some impressive wins against Seattle, San Francisco, and Denver. Tennessee is 2nd with a 3-4 record, followed by Houston at 2-5. Lastly, the Jags come limping into the halfway point without a […]

Fantasy Scrambler: Year of the Injury
Well, like most of you, I figured that the inordinate amount of injuries that befell our fantasy studs in the preseason would shelter us from an avalanche of injuries during the season. However, it seems that 2013 is earning the title of “Year of the Injury.” Now, more than in any point in the season […]
Fantasy Scrambler: Admitting Mistakes and Correcting Errors

Fantasy Scrambler: Sleepers and Relievers
Week two is in the books and it’s already time to start thinking about working the waiver wire. Injuries are a fantasy owner’s biggest obstacle and how we maneuver around them, be it through trades, free agent pick-ups, or with shrewd lineup manipulation, is the key to winning championships. This is the point in the […]
Weekend Recap: Monday Morning Links
A great weekend for Portland was capped by a signature win up north by Seattle. Unless you think that Portland will be getting an NFL team of our own any time soon (a much likelier possibility than getting MLB), you might as well jump aboard the Seattle ship for now. As it stands, the Ducks […]
