Week 8 Fantasy Pick'em and Survival

As always: the best way to reach me with late questions is via Twitter. Just add @godhateslosers and I'll get you all the way up to gameday. 

So, the bad news this week is that there are a lot of people already listed as "Out," meaning that there are likely a lot of backups making starting lineups this week. The good news is that because they are already Out, there are really not that many players who are Questionable this week. Lots less stress as far as picking who to play. So that's good I suppose.

One more housekeeping note... There's this exciting hurricane, "perfect storm" scenario happening off the northeast coast. This will effect mostly those playing in the Atlanta vs. Philly game and the Miami vs NY Jets game. So, I'm dropping a handful of players in my rankings. I have pulled all of my kickers who are playing there this week: Bryant, Folk primarily. Also, Matt Ryan and Michael Vick fell in my rankings. They are still pretty startworthy though. But winds of 20-30 mph should make things interesting. If you had Tannehill or Sanchez starting for you in the first place, well, may God have mercy on your team.

Onto the rankings. 12-1 last week. Swept all the Sunday daytime games. Pretty proud of myself. But, learning from recent history, that likely means I'll get roughly four game correct this week. Such is life.

Upset favorites: Goal for this week was picking mostly home teams since a lot of these seem to be toss-ups. But that wasnt the case in the end. Upset picks are Lions over Seahawks, Cowboys over Giants, Saints over Broncos. I also thought really hard about the Dolphins beating the Jets.

Locks: Survival pick goes to the Packers. Bears should also take one pretty easy. Same with the Niners.

Week 8 Fantasy Football Rankings.

Almost halfway through the season, I'm preparing to be a bit more post heavy next week as I lay out some rest-of-season stuff and some mid-year awards. Hope you all enjoy.

Here are the rankings for this week. I like a lot of wide receiver sleepers this week, who knows. I'm also kinda killing it in the quarterback rankings, for the record.

Week 7 Fantasy Pick'em and Survival


And... I follow up a great week with an awful one. I guess thats what I get for bragging. Time to get back to it. Hopefully this week is better.

As far as answering questions this weekend: Its gonna have to be through Twitter. I'll be able to answer anything you have before kickoff, as long as you send it to @godhateslosers You know what to do.

Upset favorites: I'm liking the Titans to win in Buffalo. And... thats about it. Bengals over Steelers also is a bit against the grain. I was super close to saying that the Packers lose again on the road, but I think I'll stick with them.

Locks: Giants should be a lock. Same with the Cowboys who are my survival pick. Patriots should handle the Jets, it would help if every player wasn't somehow injured though.

Week 7 2012 Quarterback Rankings

Is Mike Williams a Weekly Must-Start?


Is Dez Bryant always in your starting lineup? What about Andre Johnson? Brandon Lloyd? Antonio Brown? Steve Smith, maybe?

If you answered yes any of these questions, then I pose another to you: What do all of these players have in common?

Answer: They all have fewer fantasy points this season than Buccaneer WR Mike Williams.

As a matter of fact, Williams is tied with Miles Austin, Julio Jones, Eric Decker and Larry Fitzgerald with 9.8 fantasy points per game (standard), good for 16th at the wide receiver position. Yet, of every name I have listed so far, Williams is the only one who is not owned in 100% of all fantasy leagues. He is owned in 54%.

So now the question becomes: “Should a player tied for 16th in the NFL in points make your fantasy starting lineup?” I simply answer, “Yes, yes he should.”

Week 6 GHL Fantasy Pick'em and Predictions

Alright! Now we're on a roll picking these games. Two week in a row with more than 10 wins. I like it, I like it. Let's see if I can make it three for three.

As far as answering questions this weekend: Its gonna have to be through Twitter. I'll be able to answer anything you have before kickoff, as long as you send it to @godhateslosers You know what to do.

Upset favorites: I've got a handful of them this week. Going with the gut a lot here. I like the Rams over the Phins, Lions over the Eagles, Cowboys over the Ravens (so sue me, I never pick against my Cowboys), Chargers over Broncos... And I'm going to say that the Bills can go into Arizona and steal a win. You heard it here first.

Locks: Falcons are the big lock for me. They are my survival pick this week. I think the Bengals should win, Colts look good. And I'd call the Pats a lock this week as well.

Week 5 Pick'em and Predictions

Big leap forward last week. Feeling good about this one too. Things are starting to come along pretty nicely. Not expectedly, but at least we are figuring out what new to expect each game.

As far as answering questions this weekend: Its gonna have to be through Twitter. And you are gonna have to get them to me by early tomorrow morning. Got a couple vacation plans, going out of town and I should get them on my phone through Twitter. @godhateslosers You know what to do.

Upset favorites: Seahawks over Panthers, Chargers over Saints... embarrassingly close to liking the Titans to beat the Vikings, but I used my better judgement

Locks: Scarily, it seems like a lot of them. Giants are my pick. Then of course you have the Texans, Ravens, Packers, Bengals, Bears

GHL Week 5 Fantasy Football Rankings

New week. And its looking like things are starting to even out. Those who we thought to be good are finally playing that way. Thank God. We have a few injury concerns pushing people up and adding a lot of question marks. WR for both NY squads is something pretty exciting to look at. And Mendy will see his first action.

If you've got your questions, nows the time to ask them.

Enjoy Week Five
