FFB Week 6: Twelve Takeaways

Image
The haters and losers (of which there are several) said that I took a week off from blogging about fantasy football. They questioned my dedication, said I was "finished" and "dumb". They even said I wasn't one of the premier fantasy football minds on the world wide internet. This is where I draw the line.   Do me a favor and take a look at any NFL schedule, then let me know if there's a bye week in there. I'll wait.   Quick note: I believe it was Daniel Day-Lewis that famously said "better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". Wise words from a bloke that's been in showbiz for a long time and knows a thing or two about stuff. He played Abraham Lincoln for heaven's sake! You think he never had haters? Think again. For the lot of you that are glad to see me back - may the sun shine down on you. Mamaw loves ye hawney pic.twitter.com/vAYLEYMDRa — Little Bubby Child (@lilbubbychild) April 21, 2

FFB WEEK 4: TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

Okay gang, we're four weeks in.  I know, I know. You're welcome. Congrats on 4-0 as a result of reading this every week. You can kick back and relax now. Just coast the rest of the way, it'll be fine.   That was a test.  Don't be insolent. We do not slow down, we do not take our foot off the gas.  If you're 0-4 or 1-3, don't fear! Read this every week and you can still climb out of the deep, dark hole.  If you're 2-2 and need to make a move on the competition? Check the waivers down below, make a trade, get after it. We got this.   Also, big shoutout to my friend and mentor, Matthew Berry, for committing to a "Ten Takeaway Tuesday" for the rest of the season. If you're asking my opinion on the matter, the more the merrier.  Matthew's a sweet boy and a friend of the Fantasy Football Boys Fantasy Football Department, just wanted to get that out of the way. However, I'm not thrilled that he stole my sponsor from last year (I'll never

FFB WEEK 3: TWELVE TAKEAWAYS

Welcome to a Wednesday edition of Twelve Takeaways. Apologies for the tardiness.   1. The Titans once again have a problem at quarterback. I said he was fit for a demotion last week , and I can't believe he wasn't benched in their loss to the Packers, but one thing's clear at this point: Will Levis is not the guy and he's not set up to succeed as a Titan. On Sunday, he was 26/34 for 260 yards and 2 TDs (hey, not bad!) but committed costly 3 turnovers (again? shit).   What else is there to say? The bad has vastly outweighed the good, his ball security and inconsistency is an issue, and any time he does takes a baby step forward he finds new and inventive ways to take multiple steps back.    I've previously referred to Levis as a "charity draft pick"  and I stand by that. In the 2023 draft, the Titans front office said "Sure, why not? Could be fun!" to a career-subpar quarterback. They could've drafted ancillary pieces and planned ahead for wha

Welcome back to this week's Twelve Takeaways.  I hope you all won your fantasy football matchups. To those of you that did: For those of you looking to right the ship, you're in the right place.  Week 2 is officially closed out, and who would've thought that Sam Darnold would be outscoring the likes of CJ Stroud, Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott, and Joe Burrow? Just like my lower back tattoo says:   ~Fantasy Football is weird~

Football. WELCOME BACK. I've missed y’all, I really have. My loyal readers. I sincerely hope everyone's been doing VERY good and prospering in our time away from one another.  Enough small talk.  Who's ready? Let's get into it. 1.  Scene: How damn dumb are the Giants?   Saquon Barkley is having one of the greatest team debuts of all time. 📺: #GBvsPHI on Peacock pic.twitter.com/Hvx7tUzGkI — NFL (@NFL) September 7, 2024 26 total touches, 132 scrimmage yards, 3 touchdowns. Your week one RB1. A casual 30+ fantasy points scored in his Eagles debut. 2. If Anthony Richardson activates “freak-nasty mode” this year, then batten down the hatches.  If he does achieve true “freak-nasty” status then he will finish the year as QB1, the ceiling is that high.  NFL players are big sweaty men that run fast, this much we know. It's gotta be an unbelievable feeling to be even bigger and faster than a lot of your peers in the NFL as a quarterback.  Anthony Richardson is the one w
