“Round Robinson”: IDP Safety Rankings (1-30) (Part 1 of 2) 2014

Our 2014 rankings move from the front end of the defense to the back-end. Thanks to the dominance of the Seahawks and others, the safety position is getting as much attention now as it ever has, and more stars are emerging each and every year. Here’s this year’s crop of the top ball-hawks in the game:

1) Harrison Smith (MIN) – Smith saw his 2013 campaign cut short due mainly to a turf toe issue…

“Mad Dog McCleese” Safety rankings 34-50 (Part 1 of 3)

I hope everyone enjoyed some fireworks on Independence Day weekend. In my neighborhood the fireworks start early in July and normally last through the second week or third week of the month. Speaking of fireworks most dogs are terrified of them but this Mad Dog absolutely loves them! I had a nice holiday break and I’m back at it this week with my safety rankings (part one of three). It is my…

“James Addiction” Week #14 Playoff Starts at D/ST

Welcome to Week 14 and the start of the fantasy football playoffs for the majority of leagues. Before we take a look at Week 14 though, let’s travel back a week. In Week 13, thirteen D/STs scored in double digits with ESPN’s basic scoring and four more teams had eight points or better. That’s over half of the league scoring eight points or more, so the good news is there are plenty of teams we…

“Alluhring Strategy” Secondary Opinion: Week 14 Defensive Backs to Activate or Avoid – Playoffs Edition

Ah, Week 14!!! Not all of us even see this week. The adulation is short-lived as we immediately turn to agonizing roster decisions that will make or break our Championship run. This is particularly nerve-racking as you don’t want to get knocked out because you lose by four points from starting Mike Evans and Tom Brady over DeAndre Hopkins and Matt Stafford this week, only to watch them put up a…

“Allurhing Strategy” Secondary Opinion: Week 10 Defensive Back Targets

Welcome to the vacation edition of Secondary Opinion. Still tastes great but less filling. Week 9 was my most consistent performance this year. No out of the park picks, but all my picks were productive to serviceable. The further in the season we go, the more difficult is becoming to find players that I haven’t promoted yet. I am still on a mission to not repeat players through the fantasy…

“Alluhring Strategy” Secondary Opinion: Week 11 DB Targets (The ‘Nothing But Cornerbacks’ Edition)

It’s now crunch time for those vying for a playoff slot. Most leagues only have 12 or 13 regular season games. Week 11 could make your break your season. IDP leagues give you the extra excitement (and stress) and getting healthy, productive players in a much deeper starting lineup. Injuries and Byes are adding up and sometimes you need that sleeper or under the radar waiver wire grab to get you a…

“James Addiction” 2017 Fantasy Football – Rookie Receivers

This year’s rookie receiver class has fewer big names than the class of a year ago.  But it will most likely out perform its predecessor. As most of you have heard or read by now there is one receiver among this years rookie class who stands out above the rest, and this is due to both skill and the landing spot. However, there are 7 to 10 receivers who have a chance to be fantasy contributors at…

“Stromme the Way”, The Dirty Dozen: 2015 Running Back Rankings, Part 6 of 6 (1-12)

There’s a saying among those who play fantasy sports that holds true every year. It doesn’t matter if you play fantasy football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, (cricket? Is that a thing?), this general rule of thumb applies.

“You can’t win your league in the first round, but you can lose it.”

Meaning, you’ll rarely win your league with your first selection of the draft. But if you take the…

“The Wizard of Goz” Top 95 Linebackers 2018 – PRIME BEEF (35-13)

You have now officially entered the PERTINENT ZONE. In effect, the common league (12-Teams) and the common LB’s (2) would equal 24 “starters.” Add to that the smart play of having a 3rd guy just in case and the players you will see in this segment and next week should be valid IDP options this year. COMMON SENSE TIP- PAY ATTENTION TO TRAINING CAMP/EXHIBITION SEASON developments (particularly…
