WELCOME TO CHINSTRAP NINJAS
The ascent to fantasy nirvana -- the collision of postseason-run fantasy baseball and fantasy football draft prep -- has begun. Rest assured that we're not tossing baseball over the rail to float off into the murky waters of oblivion, while we play with the new hotness. For us, it's football, baseball, Nirvana.

Super Bowl XLIV recap: Records, fantasy performances

While we did figure New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees would break a record yesterday, we didn’t quite nail which one. Brees tied the record for completions, hitting on 32 of 39, matching the previous record held by Tom Brady in Super Bowl 38.

In all of your Super Bowl party prep/pre-game cocktails don’t forget to set your fantasy playoff starting lineup. Who should you start this week? Let’s talk about some likelihoods and some individual offense-vs.-defense matchups that will decide the outcomes:

Week 7 waiver wire: Shonn Greene has arrived

Who doesn’t love running backs who break onto the scene like Shonn Greene did this week? I’ll tell you who, the people with crud filling their RB slots who didn’t heed my advice the last couple of weeks to get him before he had a shot to do anything. Well, with Leon Washington’s season-ending broken [...]

Fantasy football’s most targeted through Week 2

Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith leads the NFL with 28 targets, but he’s only the 20th-best fantasy football wide receiver in non-points per reception leagues through two weeks. He’s a stud receiver who’s getting plenty of opportunity, but it’s not transferring into fantasy points. What gives? Does this mean we should not place such a [...]
