Sleeper Of The Week: Time To Crown Fantastical Champions
We all know what Week 16 means, right? It is championship time...if you are a fortuitous fantasy football player. Fantasy football championships are happening all across the interwebs. Your humble, Vicks-using, handsome writer of this post finds himself in one such championship match (and curses...
Sleepers Of The Week: Kubiak's 2-Man WR2 Looks Viable This Week
I told anyone who would listen that Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson would not disappoint for a second week in a row. Johnson finished the game with four receptions for 97 yards before leaving early with what is being described as a day-to-day hamstring injury that is not as serious as...
Sleeper Of The Week: Can We Give Andre Johnson A Mulligan?
I cannot beat around the bush. Last week’s effort is on me. I am out there battlin’ and fightin’ to put together a quality sleeper of the week pick, but I just did not execute. I didn't count on King Checkdown showing up and then getting hurt. I have had a good week of practice...
Sleeper Of The Last Six Weeks: Matt Leinart's Time To Prove Himself
"TDC," says the Battle Red Blog denizen, "Who are you fooling here? While there is always a need for Vicks products to keep us healthy, the Houston Texans are on a bye week. Thus, you handing out a Sleeper of the Week nod is pointless, aside from being able to talk about the wondrous healing...
Sleeper Of The Week: It Should Be Like Shooting Fish In A Barrel
Okay, so last week it looked like I was going to easily romp on my sleeper pick - tight end Joel Dreessen. On the opening drive, Dreessen had two catches for 27 yards (halfway to my prediction of four for 52 yards and a touchdown). Things were looking good for my Vaporubstradamus...
Sleeper Of The Week: Joel Dreessen's Turned Into A Touchdown Machine
Arrogantly, just like the arrogant franchise I follow, I must start by talking about last week's success in predicting Kevin Walter as a good sleeper. Walter's five receptions for 70 yards were a mere 18 yards off of what I predicted to mark the second consecutive week of a good pick and...
Sleeper Of The Week: Good Ol' Mr. Reliable
It’s the weekend, so the smell of VapoRub is in the air as we set out to find a sleeper or two for the week. Last week, I gave you the Houston tight ends as "sleepers" for a combined 11 catches, 115 yards, and a touchdown. I wasn’t close on catches (six), but they did go for 102 and a...
Wherein We Combine Reality-Based Strategy With Fantasy-Based Hopes
I’m lucky that I have Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers on all my fantasy teams and can rely on them for winzzzzzzz ignore my own fantasy advice because I probably would have lost all three of my games last week if I had relied on wide receiver Derrick Mason or insider linebacker Brian Cushing as...
Can Derrick Mason Make Fantastical Noise On Sunday?
Ignoring half of last week's suggestion, I think this series of posts got off to a pretty good start by suggesting Mr. Joel Dresseen as your Vicks Sleeper of the Week. Self-congratulatory pats on the back aside, I've got to follow it up as the good people at Vicks demand it if the staff wants to...
Where Does Andre Johnson's Fantasy Production Go?
[Inhales deeply] Ah, the weekend. Oh, wait, that's just Vicks VapoRub I smell. Anywho, Vicks has graciously decided to sponsor a series of posts to help you...with fantasy football.Okay, it isn't help, per se, but sage advice from a fellow who is in the top-six in all his fantasy leagues so far....
