FFB Week 9: Twelve Takeaways

Image
This might be my personal flu game.  There’s some bad news to address right off the jump. I have self-diagnosed myself with a mild case of influenza.  In the endless pursuit of delivering expert fantasy advice to you, my loyal readers, I'm proud to announce that I'm pushing through it. I'm ignoring the river of sweat that's running down my spine and into the crevasse beneath it, I’m getting by with 2% clearance in my nasal passages, and I'm managing the productive Marlboro cough that's causing me soreness in my intercostal region.  I'm pushing through it .  We’re halfway through the NFL regular season and now feels like an appropriate time to remind you: Savor it. Even the shitty Thursday night games will be ones you’re longing for in 3 months when the weather is bleak and the sports are sparse. As a very wise country boy once said: “These’re some good times, so take a good look around, you may not know it now, but you’re gonna miss this.” -Trace Adkins 1. S

FFB Week 8: Twelve Takeaways

That's right, it's another Twelve Takeaways presented by Olive Garden.  Happy Halloween to YOU!  The best Halloween movie of all time, no debate, is  Ernest Scared Stupid.  If you don't agree with that statement, click at the top right of this window and get out.  Now.  I'm serious. You don't deserve Ernest, and you sure as HELL don't deserve Rimshot. Sorry to get aggressive there, don't leave.  It's just that here at the Fantasy Football Boys Fantasy Football Department, we pay homage to the great work done by Jim Varney over the years. May he freakin' rest in peace.  As we all know, Halloween can be a very spooky time of the year. You wanna know what's more terrifying than Halloween and all its goblins and ghouls? Having a bad fantasy football team and all your friends making fun of you. Hopefully if you've been reading this every week, your season hasn't been overly frightful, plagued by injuries and bad-luck losses. Whatever the case,

FFB Week 7: Twelve Takeaways

Welcome back, all ye loyal readers. It's Wednesday, so you know what that means.  It's Twelve Takeaway time.   We have lots to discuss.  1. Drop Patrick Mahomes. Okay, that's a bit extreme even for me. Just goofin'. It's a matter of principle that if you drafted Patrick Mahomes as high as you likely did, you shouldn't just drop him. Is he worthy of a hate-drop? Maybe. Should you do it? Probably not.  Now, should you bench Mahomes? Absolutely. He's been horrific in his last 11 games and his current fantasy output is in the dumpster.   This year, his max is 16.38 fantasy points back in week 3 and he's now scored less than 13.5 fantasy points in three straight games. The >20 fantasy points drought is now at 11 regular season games.  The only saving grace from Sunday was a bullshit run where he faked going out of bounds and nobody touched him for fear of being unnecessarily rough, which led to a long gain, and a one yard rushing TD. He still scored just

FFB Week 6: Twelve Takeaways

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
