The Fantasy Fallout: Coming Into Week 4

This is has been the weirdest first three weeks of an NFL season I can remember. If you’ve gone 0-3 during this stretch, don’t give up hope just yet. I have a feeling these wacky weeks are going to regress back to the mean as far as consistent fantasy output from your better players. Also,

Trashman’s Garbage Grab: Week 3

Week 3 is here, and people are getting sloppy, missing junky dumpster jewels left and right. Don’t get left out on these fantasy finds that are all owned in fewer than 30% of fantasy leagues. You can use them if you’ve been hit with the injury bug, or if you’re scrounging for value in daily

Garbage Grab: Good Fantasy Players Who Aren’t Being Drafted

If I could have my own way, fantasy benches would be ten to fifteen players deep. But alas that is not the case in most fantasy leagues. There are only about six bench slots in most leagues, and the point is to maximize your potential in each given spot. That being said, I’ve noticed quite
