As the 2009 season winds down, and as most leagues should be finishing up this weekend (or the next)….this will be the last Start/Sit for the 2009 season

With most fantasy teams already done for 2009, this final Start/Sit will focus mainly on those QBs who are off this week…quite a few of the good ones….like Navy QB Ricky Dobbs (photo, thanks Scout.com)….are off this week as they prepare for their real-season final games.

First, there are a few QBs who you definitely should consider sitting this week, as they face greuling matchups Read the rest of this entry →

With most fantasy leagues well into their playoffs, we will go in a slightly different direction with our From The Shotgun article this week.

By now, you have a pretty good idea whether your fantasy QBs are productive, or, are not (the latter is especially for those done with 2009 and already planning for 2010).

However, some of your top fantasy QBs may be walking into one of those late-season land-mine games….maybe not so  much as a loss for their real teams, but, one of those games where the score is closer than expected….and the stats page does not look so pretty.

Even Florida QB Tim Tebow (photo, thanks IconSMI) is not a safe lock to play this week, as his Gators travel to South Carolina… Read the rest of this entry →

The 2009 season is winding down…

A good number of fantasy owners are already in planning for 2010, because, 2009 is effectively over.  A smaller number of you have 2009 still to worry about….whether making your post-season or already in your post-season.

Fortunately, for those still around, it is a good week for the top fantasy QBs.  While there are some big contests in many conferences on the slate for this week, a few schools have easy conference matchups, or, non-conference games.

One of those non-conference matchups, yours truly will be in attendance.  Texas QB Colt McCoy (photo, thanks IconSMI) faces UCF on Saturday, in one of those late-season, somewhat inter-sectional matchups in Austin.

Oh, and play McCoy this weekend, if you have him Read the rest of this entry →

Our recipient of this week’s honor is someone who I believe will be one of the biggest fantasy producers over the next few years.  Although this week’s honoree has not had the record-setting career, yet, he did finally blow-up.

Oh, did he blow up.

North Texas redshirt-freshman QB Riley Dodge (photo, thanks Scout.com), our Fantasy College Blitz Fantasy Player of the Week, single-handedly destroyed Western Kentucky 68-49 in Saturday’s game at Fouts Field in Denton, TX.

Dodge, a blue-chip prep QB from Southlake, TX, threw for 262 yards and 4 TDs…while rushing for 70 yards and another 3 TDs….in leading the Mean Green to only their second victory of the season (just 1-11 in 2008)

The 2009 fantasy season is winding down.

For some of you, this is the last week of regular-season fantasy games….for others, it is the next-to-last game.  Whichever category you fall under, this means jockeying for playoff spots….or jockeying to stay out of the dreaded “fantasy league cellar”.

Week Nine will be an interesting one.  Although most FBS conferences are in the thick of their conference action, some notable programs (and QBs) are getting a breather this week.

If you have Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen (photo, thanks GoIrish)…you might think The Great Pumpkin was Santa Claus….for he gets a trip to San Antonio to face woeful Washington State. Read the rest of this entry →
