Week 2 NFL Game Picks

2018 PICKS RECORD SO FAR: 10-6-1

CHIEFS @ STEELERS

The Steelers have the Chiefs’ number in the Andy Reid era, but luckily for Kansas City the biggest part of those past Pittsburgh wins is not with the team right now. That being said, however, I still think James Connor is more than capable of having a huge Le’Veon Bell-ish day against this very porous KC defense. Throw in the deadly combination of Brown and JuJu on the outside as well, and...

This week's subject was a really tough one to take on. Let me know what you think in the comments! In the mean time I'm going to get some shut eye because I've been up for two days finishing this thing, and then I'll...

Patron-Only Q&A Session (9-10-18)

With week one wrapping up tonight, it's time to have another Patron-only Q&A! Ask me anything you want. Questions can be on different teams, players, schemes, matchups, or even the channel itself!

We have about a couple thousand more Patrons than we used to, so I certainly expect more questions than usual, but I promise that throughout the week I WILL get to everyone's question, so ask away!

2018 NFL Season Predictions

With just hours to spare before we kick off the first full Sunday slate of the 2018 season, here are all of my predictions for the year! These include all division winners, playoff seeds, the Super Bowl winner, and the various award winners like MVP, Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year, and Coach of the Year.

Let me know what your own predictions are below so that we can all ridicule each other for being horribly wrong in six months!

Week 1 NFL Game Picks

Hey everyone!

Part of the deal for being a Patron on this channel is getting all of my weekly game picks the night before the Sunday slate of games, so without further ado let's get right into it and go game by game!

BENGALS @ COLTS

I'm going to go with the Bengals on this one. Andrew Luck's return obviously makes this a much more interesting game, but I think the Cincy offense is ripe for a big comeback this season with their offensive line a...

A Furious Road: The Story of an NFL Season

With the start of a new season upon us in just a few short days, I wanted to take some time to reflect on this past year and celebrate the game we all love. The football world has certainly been through a lot since last September - from various PR nightmares, to confusing rule changes, to seemingly endless political controversies. But beneath all of the drama and all of the tension, there has also always remained that same innate magic that keeps drawing us back in every single fall.

2018 Fantasy Running Back Rankings (UPDATED 8-28-18)

Here is the latest update to my running back (PPR) rankings. There are several major changes, with round 2 getting a notable shuffle (and moving up McCaffrey), as well as the elevation of Royce Freeman, Peyton Barber, Adrian Peterson, James Connor, John Kelly, Jordan Wilkins, and Austin Ekeler, as well as the downgrade of Tevin Coleman, D'Onta Foreman, and Matt Breida. 

2018 Fantasy Wide Receiver Rankings (UPDATED 8-28-18)

Here is the latest update to my wide receiver rankings. There's a few changes in the back half of the draft, with names like John Ross, Ryan Grant, Chester Rogers, and Willie Snead moving up, while Kenny Golladay, DeVante Parker, and KeKe Coutee moved down. Nothing major, but still notable for the part of your drafts where you are filling out depth and securing high upside roster stashes.

2018 Fantasy Quarterback Rankings (UPDATED 8-28-18)

Here is the latest update to my quarterback rankings. The biggest changes are in the later rounds, with Jimmy G moving way up (again) and Andy Dalton swapping places with Derek Carr. There are still no changes among the top 12, but for those of you in 2QB leagues you might be interested in how the "round 10" tier shakes out. There are lots of very intriguing options within that group.

2018 Fantasy Tight End Rankings (UPDATED 8-28-18)

Here is the latest update to my tight end (PPR) rankings. There's a few significant changes in the later rounds, most notably O.J. Howard moving inside the top 12, and adding in Eric Ebron. For all you dynasty players, stash Howard while you can. He's going to be special.

2018 Fantasy DEF/ST Rankings (UPDATED 8-28-18)

Here is the latest update to my defense/special teams rankings. Not too many changes overall, but I did elevate the Rams after finally seeing their starting unit in action (spoiler alert - it's NASTY), and I've moved the Cowboys up as well after yet another strong performance last week. They are super underrated. 

2018 Fantasy RB Rankings (UPDATED 8-22-18)

Here is the latest update heading into week three of the preseason. Running Back saw the biggest changes of all the positions this week, with Zeke moving down a couple spots due to some offensive line health issues (Frederick especially - we have no idea when he will be back). Fournette has also looked strong this preseason, so I feel great about sliding him into the RB4 spot anyway.

McKinnon has moved down due to his injury. He's supposed to be back week one, but I still would rather sp...

2018 Fantasy WR Rankings (UPDATED 8-22-18)

Here is the latest update heading into week three of the preseason. There's really only one notable change, which is Allison and Taylor swapping positions in round nine. Taylor still has a lot of room to move up if he comes on strong yet again in week three after a great week two. He's ultra explosive, and so far Tennessee has made it a point that they want to exploit that this season. Rishard Matthews might have just lost his WR2 job permanently. 

2018 Fantasy TE Rankings (UPDATED 8-22-18)

Here is the latest update heading into week three of the preseason. Minor changes overall, as with all of the other positions. I did move Trey Burton up ahead of the other round eight tight ends because he has quickly emerged as a featured target in that Bears offense (which we all saw coming anyway), and I swapped Njoku and Kittle in round nine due to Kittle's shoulder injury. I also added Heuerman in the late round group.

2018 Fantasy QB Rankings (UPDATED 8-22-18)

Here is the latest update heading into week three of the preseason. No major movement outside of swapping a few rookie names around as late round flyers. This takes Darnold becoming the starter in New York into account (and the fact that he's played well), so for now I've got him as my top rookie QB. He'll obviously be most valuable in dynasty leagues for now, but keep an eye on him for 2QB formats as well in 2018. He's been damn good so far.

2018 Fantasy Defense/ST Rankings (UPDATED 8-22-18)

Here is the latest update heading into week three of the preseason. Very minor changes, with the Broncos seeing the most movement. Denver's front seven is still as aggressive as ever, and their secondary has performed well so far despite losing Talib in the offseason.

2018 Fantasy RB Rankings (UPDATED 8-15-18)

Here is the first update of the preseason for my fantasy running back rankings.

Injuries, camp battles, and various offensive line improvements and/or regressions have led to a ton of movement in virtually every single round, just like there was with the wide receivers.

Pay close attention to the updates I'm putting out for the RBs over the course of the next 2-3 weeks, because I guarantee you that this will NOT be the last major movement we see from many of these names.

Thank ...

2018 Fantasy WR Rankings (UPDATED 8-15-18)

Here is the first update of the preseason for my fantasy wide receiver rankings.

There have been A LOT of changes to pretty much every single round - too many to list here, in fact. Take a good look at all of the movement compared to the first release, because there have been drastic shifts all over the place. Expect even more movement as the preseason rolls on, because there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered for many of these names.

Thank you all again for the su...

2018 Fantasy QB Rankings (UPDATED 8-15-18)

Here is the first update of the preseason for my fantasy quarterback rankings. There have been several changes all over the place, including a slight drop for Carson Wentz due to his continued recovery from knee surgery which *might* compromise his week one availability, as well as a big addition/bump for Andrew Luck due to him seemingly being healthy for the first time in two years.

I've also given a bump to Jimmy G and added a bunch more names (including rookies) for those of you ...

2018 Fantasy TE Rankings (UPDATED 8-15-18)

Here is the first update of the preseason for my fantasy tight end rankings...well actually technically it's the second update, since this is an additional update AFTER the update I did specifically for the TE rankings video, but you get the idea.

There have been plenty of changes, but subtle and major. Engram and Olsen have been flipped, Mike Gesicki has shot up the board among the TE2 group at the end of the draft, and several names have been added to account for deeper leagues. I...
