Who To Start, Who To Sit–Week 14

Quarterbacks

Start:  Matt Cassel, New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks. After two straight 400 yard games Cassel was unable to do anything against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13.  Of course, most quarterbacks have also struggled against Pitt.  But Cassel has had some big games against some average defenses and the Seahawks are far from average.  The Seahawks are fantasy gold for all…

Donovan McNabb–Start or Bench?

After two weeks in which he threw just one touchdown and four interceptions, Donovan McNabb came out on Thanksgiving Day and showed everyone that he wasn’t done yet.  McNabb torched the Arizona secondary for 260 yards and four touchdowns making his fantasy owners comfortable putting him back into their lineups.  However, no team has allowed more touchdown passes than Arizona (26), and if you look at the Eagles’ schedule for…

The Kid, The ‘Cane and the Old Timer Pick Week 13

Even though this post is going up after 3pm, I can assure you all of these picks were made before the games started.  Hell, the way we are picking maybe we should start picking at halftime of the game.  The Old Timer threatened to let my 2 year old daughter pick for him next week if he keeps this pace up.

Standings through 12 weeks:

Kid: Week 12: 5-8-2; Season: 74-75-7
Cane: Week…

Fantasy Football Game of the Week–Jets vs. Broncos

Welcome to the Week 13 version of the game that will most likely make and break many fantasy matchups this weekend. The New York Jets are among the highest scoring teams in the NFL and the Denver Broncos have one of the best young quarterback/wide receivers options in the entire league. There are at least six or…

On The Radar–Week 13

Derek Anderson, QB, Cleveland Browns. With the injury that will send Brady Quinn to the sideline for the rest of the season, Anderson will go back to being the starter for the rest of the season. Obviously since he was benched, Anderson wasn’t having a great season, but he did have a few great games. Perhaps now that he…

The Kid, The Cane, and The Old Timer Pick Week 12

I’ve been asked a few times over email who exactly the Hurricane is.  For those of you who might be new it is not an alum of the University of Miami, the ‘Cane is my brother Scott.  Why is he called the Hurricane?  Let me explain it this way.  Bill Cosby once had a bit where he called people who had only one child not real parents.  HIs rationale is…

Denver Broncos (vs. Oakland Raiders). It seems that there is room for the…

Fantasy Football Game of the Week–Week 12

We hit the prediction pretty solid last week as the Colts/Texans game was a high scoring affair.  This week the Fantasy Football Game of the Week will be when the New York Giants travel across the country to face the  Arizona Cardinals.  You might not think this is a great pick given the way the Giants play defense, but I think the…
