Can I Kick It: Week 7

16th of October, 2013

When I told people, both personally and over the world wide web, that I’d be trying to give out kicker streaming options, I was mostly met with laughter. As I’ve written time and time again, kicker is the lonely orphan of not only the fantasy football world, but of the football world at large. I […]

Can I Kick It: Week 5

4th of October, 2013

Kickerland HQ is the place to be right now. We have pizza parties, some cool segways, and bros lounging in bean bag chairs. It’s great to be a Kickerland employee with another good week in the books. The kicker position is never an easy one to predict, as it often is so reliant on situation, […]

In My Defense: Week 5

1st of October, 2013

In My Defense is a weekly feature designed to give you a little advice when it comes to streaming defenses.

Can I Kick It?: Week 4

25th of September, 2013

Over at Kicker & Kicker LLC, we are constantly crunching numbers to try and give you some tasty kicker picks. Last week was not a bad week here, as the pick analysis was mostly right. Kickers can be a frustrating thing to predict, as totally correct logic can go terribly wrong pretty easily. Teams with early […]

Can I Kick It?: Week 3

18th of September, 2013

It was not a great week for me at Kickertown HQ. A couple of could-be, woulda-been big games were foiled (mostly) by circumstance, but my picks weren’t all that bad in retrospect. You could have had Randy Bullock (and at 99% ownership in ESPN.com leagues, I’m sure some of you did). Here’s how we did […]

NHL ’94 or Sonic 2?: A Look At Best Ball League Strategy

3rd of July, 2013

What would I play with my buddy Steve? NHL ’94 was conducive to multiplayer gameplay, even though I had mastered the wraparound and rarely lost (humble brag). But Sonic 2 was so much fun. I mean, who doesn’t want to fool around with the human (hedgehog) slot machine in Casino Night for three straight hours? […]

Using Average Draft Positions to Your Advantage

10th of August, 2012

Could you imagine going to the grocery store for a gallon of milk, and paying a couple of extra bucks just for the heck of it? The price tag says “$3.50”, but you just say, “hey, I’m going to pay an extra dollar for this” when you get to the checkout line. Or let’s say […]

The Two-Quarterback League: How This Changes Draft Strategy

2nd of August, 2012

Get your quarterback early. Wait…what? Didn’t I write an entire book on the late-round quarterback strategy? I did. But in my book, I also pointed out that you need to understand your scoring structure before you make any draft decisions. For instance, if your league favors quarterbacks with 6 points per touchdown pass, then you […]
