Uff Da.
We’re nearly at the halfway mark of the season and everyone still seems to be foundering with their picks.

Ok, I won’t be digging quite as deeply this week for my WTF guys. But still – with all the RBs who went down in week two, there were a bunch of less than well-known guys racking up stats.
Here we go:
Buy – Jordan Howard, Chicago: (more…)
This new segment will attempt each week, at least for the first eight to 10 weeks of the season, to take a look at outlier stat lines to see who might truly be a contributor to your fantasy football success and whose big weeks may be a mirage.
Buy – Quincy Enunwa:
NY Jets: It’s my intention to write this column every week, earlier in the week than Friday. So I’m cheating a bit on this one, since Enunwa has played two games already.

I had just gotten done throwing a theory out to my cousin Rich, an occasional contributor to this site, about how the 2016 Vikings bore some resemblance to the 1980 Raiders. Just then I heard a producer on 1500 ESPN radio in the Twin Cities theorize that newly acquired QB Sam Bradford may be in a similar situation as Jim Plunkett was during that season 36 years ago.
It’s not an apples-for-apples comparison. Plunkett had already been on the Raiders’ roster in 1979, though he threw just 15 passes. He was backing up Dan Pastorini, who had become Oakland’s QB when Ken Stabler was moved to Houston.

He was rookie of the year after being the top pick in 2010, but then tore up his knee twice and has since struggled to find the right fit. (He missed the entire 2014 campaign with a torn ACL, his second in as many seasons.) (more…)
