Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 12
Thursday Night Football Latavius Murray vs. Chiefs run defense Anyone out there bold enough or maybe desperate enough to be playing Raiders’ running back Latavius Murray tonight? No? Well maybe you should be. I’m writing about him because of how intriguing of an athletic specimen he is. At 223 pounds at his Pro Day in
Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 11
Before I start this week’s column…man was I terrible in Week 10. And it’s my duty to own it. A.J. Green vs. Browns? Dud. Reggie Bush back from injury at home against the Dolphins. Dud. Jay Cutler. Basically a dud. It was Jordan Matthews, not Jeremy Maclin, who had a monster game against the Panthers.
Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 10
Thursday Night Fooball Joe Haden vs. A.J. Green Much has been made of this A.J. Green vs. Joe Haden matchup, and rightfully so — these two battle it out twice a year and are among the top young players at their respective positions. Maybe there’s a little Florida – Georgia bad blood here, too. We
Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 9
Brian Hoyer vs. Buccaneers defense What are we to make of Brian Hoyer? No, really. I mean, after Week 4’s win over the Tennessee Titans (which was followed by the Browns’ dismantling of the Steelers), Hoyer was as big-time as LeBron James in Cleveland. Ok, that’s pushing it, but you get my drift. Then, an
Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 8
Wes Welker vs. Chargers defensive backs Remember this guy? Yeah, the pesky little slot receiver people in Boston used to call “Welkah.” With the emergence of Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas and speedster Emmanuel Sanders, I can’t blame you for essentially forgetting Mr. Welker who’s technically the No. 4 option in Denver’s outrageously potent offense. He’s
Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 7
Jace Amaro vs. Patriots secondary Watch out, Gronk! Jace Amaro is coming to take the tight end crown from you, bro! [shotguns beer – slaps a stranger on the ass] Ok, kidding. Amaro probably isn’t the next Rob Gronkowski, but the second-round pick out of Texas Tech has flashed a little bit this season. And,
Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 6
T.Y. Hilton vs. Texans secondary Reggie Wayne and Andre Johnson are the established, potential future Hall of Famers in this AFC South showdown, but let’s examine third-year pro T.Y. Hilton. He’ll move around in the Colts offense, and don’t be surprised to see him in the slot on occasion where there’s more room for him
Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 5
Aaron Rodgers vs. Vikings secondary We’re only a few hours away from the Packers playing host to the Vikings on the frozen — probably not frozen yet — tundra of Lambeau Field. Teddy Bridgewater’s a game-time decision, and there’s no way anyone outside of members of the Ponder family are playing Christian Ponder tonight, so
Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 4
Eli Manning vs. Redskins secondary Giants offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo went on the record saying he wanted quarterback Eli Manning to complete 70 percent of his passes this season. What?! Yeah, 70 percent. Actually, it wasn’t a crazy expectation. Sure, Manning’s never even hit achieved a 63 percent completion rate, but he’s spent his NFL
Trapasso’s Finest Fantasy Matchups: Week 3
Vincent Jackson vs. Desmond Trufant Roddy White (if he plays) and Julio Jones are the obvious, must-watch, must-have fantasy wideouts in this one, but they get more than enough (deserved) publicity. So for a change, let’s take a look at a wideout on the other side of the ball…Vincent Jackson. For the most part, the
