Ask the Expert Question of the Week: Assuming one draft for the entire postseason, who should be the top pick in a playoff fantasy football league? Why?

Assuming one draft for the entire postseason, who should be the top pick in a playoff fantasy football league? Why?

Aaron Rodgers. QBs generally score the most points and he could be far and away higher than any other QB as GB throws a ton and he is on fire. I see GB running the table and making the Super Bowl which means 4 games in any NFL contest with just one draft.

Introducing a military thriller from Award Winning author Sam Hendricks- Just One More...

On a fateful night in Afghanistan, a flawed NATO airstrike sets into motion a chain of events that reaches across the world, from Vancouver to Copenhagen to London. How far will one person go for revenge?

In the sleepy English countryside, an F15E Strike Eagle team gears up for a live weapons mission. Can lead pilot "Rider" keep his head in the game and overcome the demons of his past? Hundreds of lives will depend on the answer as a deadly Al Qaeda terrorist cell, and maverick CIA and MI6 agents descend on US soil in a jaw-dropping climax where anything goes.

Congratulations to the 2016 Pros vs Joes FFPC Contest Winner....Blake Pyle!

Blake Pyle, a Joe, won the 2016 Pros vs Joes FFPC Contest by a considerable margin. And I should know because Blake came from my division (Here Comes the Rain Again).

Blake won the division by 337 points finishing ahead of Pro RotoViz.com's Kevin Cole.

I was humbled after last years division win by finishing this year in last place. And 70th out of 72 in the field.

Division winner in 2012 and 2015

But you know what that is what I want. In this competition you get nothing for finishing in 2nd place in your league. So my strategy is always swing for the fences. No guts, no glory. I want to either finish first or last because I risked everything to get the Championship!

Where did the train come off the tracks this year?

Oh let me count the ways:
-AP, Kevin White, Doug Martin all injured
-Alshon Jeffrey suspended for 4 games
-Blake Bortles, Matt Jones, Travis Benjamin and Julius Thomas a no show fantasy wise

Arg!

Congratulations to SFB480 2016 Winner Rotoworld - Raymond Summerlin (@RMSummerlin)

I finished 8th out of 480 teams in the Scott Fish Bowl (SFB480) 2016 Pros and Amateurs Invitational contest. I had a 163 FP season average and 160 FP 2 week (15 and 16) average. I regret not starting Adam Theilen WR MIN in Week 16...35 points! That would have been a game changer for the championship.

Rotoworld - Raymond Summerlin (@RMSummerlin) finished in first place-he got 25 points from Dez to overtake SoCalledFantasyExperts - John LaPresto (@TheJohnLaPresto) on Monday Night.

He not only earned bragging rights, but also takes home these amazing prizes!

Ask the Expert Question of the Week: What lesser-known player will be a Week 17 fantasy MVP, and say why?

What lesser-known player will be a Week 17 fantasy MVP, and say why?

Eli Rodgers faces a CLE defense and Antonio Brown will not play in week 17. Both good reasons to expect big things from Eli. I predict 8-120-1. PIT has a playoff spot (and #3 seed) clinched. Landry Jones may even favor Rodgers a bit.

Happy Birthday Mathew Berry!

I think it is his Birthday today.
Love his book and insight on ESPN and of course his podcast.

Ask the Expert Question of the week: It is the season of Festivus, and time for the annual airing of grievances. Who has disappointed you most this year, and why?

It is the season of Festivus, and time for the annual airing of grievances. Who has disappointed you most this year, and why?

DeAndre Hopkins and Jamaal Charles. Hopkins has been mediocre at best-chalk some of that up to his QB. Charles was the big tease of 2016 and if you took a chance on him in the draft you were rewarded with a whole bunch of nothing. Either or heaven forbid both of them on your team was a recipe for disaster this year. They were huge disappointments although some of the blame should come back to me for believing in these "miracles".
