The Prognosticator - Week 13
Tony Holm, The Prognosticator
Dec 1, 2011 |
|
|
It's really anyone's game but the scales tip the Vikings way a hair due to their run stop D being better, the fact that Christian Ponder can actually throw a football from the quarterback position, unlike the Broncos, and the Vikings have those nutty Viking horns cheering them on in front of their own crowd. But even with all that said, and the advantages the Vikings will enjoy, the Vikings are playing against Tim Tebow, the most magical mythical creature on this planet and when you're playing against unicorns and fairy dust, anything can happen.

Against the Odds - Week 14 (regular edition)
Vinnie, Caribbean Affiliate
Dec 11, 2011 |
|
|
| Underestimating what the Cleveland Browns run defense would be capable of, playing for a national television audience Thursday night, Vinnie fell several points shy of getting his early pick to pan out. Of course, Pittsburgh losing a pair of its better linemen in the early going didn’t help either. Time to focus on Sunday’s games, though. Vinnie really likes the line on two games in particular, both of which feature a team that exceeded expectations in Week 13. |

Late season injuries are always tough on your fantasy squad, but they also present opportunity for owners who squirreled away the likes of Felix Jones and Donald Driver to reap the benefits. There are some very strong plays this week to help you advance in your league as the New Orleans Saints, New York Giants and Washington Redskins pile up big yards in the air while the Oakland Raiders, Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals get it done on the ground. |

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, whatever you want to be merry or happy about, be it, because at the heart of it, that's what it's really all about anyway, regardless of what you believe. The holiday season is a time when kindness is celebrated and I for one will get in that line.

Start/Bench: Week 16
Ron Anish, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Dec 21, 2011 |
|
|
| It’s Week 16. Crunch time. Remember what got your fantasy team to this point. Don’t over-think your decisions. If you have Jordy Nelson, play him. Do not worry about Green Bay resting players this week. The NFC East will be plentiful with passing yards while the Denver Broncos, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers will lead the way on the ground. Good luck this week and Happy Holidays! |

Waiver Wire Wonders
Doug Coutts, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Dec 20, 2011 |
|
|
| For the first time in a while, nothing significant happened this past week to a major player affecting the fantasy world, so nothing in the way of new depth chart movement to discuss. A quartet of wide outs that are owned in around 50% of on-line leagues are discussed, as well as a sprinkling of players from other positions. Something for everyone this week. |

Nick Pagliuca, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Dec 20, 2011 |
|
|
| The Giants have let many down this season, as they fell to the Redskins at home, which was their third loss at home to a team with a losing record. The Bengals were able to pull away from the Rams while the Cardinals squeaked one out against the Browns. Just two weeks remain in the regular season. Keep an eye on teams that may rest their players in Week 17. Check out the Week 16 game-by-game breakdown. |

Thomas Casale, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Dec 20, 2011 |
|
|
| The fantasy championships are finally here for most of us. Congratulations if you’ve made it this far. At this time of year, some guys you may not have started all season could help lead you to fantasy gold. This week I will look at five players who were an afterthought on draft day but could be the deciding factor in you winning or losing your league. |

IDP Waiver Wire: Week 16
Gary Davenport, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Dec 20, 2011 |
|
|
| Week 16 of the fantasy football season has arrived, which means that it’s Title Game time in most IDP leagues, which means that congratulations are in order if you’ve guided your squad this far in 2011. With that in mind I've got a few players that should be available on many IDP waiver wires that are worth targeting as we head into Week 16. |

Matt Wilson, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Dec 19, 2011 |
|
|
| Fantasy teams that were loaded with Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens likely suffered early exits from the playoffs this weekend, because most of the fantasy stars from those teams had bad games.

The Diary of a Fantasy Virgin : Week 21
Tim Davoll, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Feb 5, 2012 |
|
|
| It is the end of the NFL year. The Giants of New York will be at The Patriots of New England. The game will be held at Lucas Oil stadium in Indianapolis. The NFL is the most watched sport in America and during these days of 50 percent this way and 50 percent that way in this country, it is a breath of fresh air to have an event like the Super Bowl. |

2012 Fantasy Sharks Pro Bowl V
Walter Collazo, Fantasy Football Staff Writer
Feb 3, 2012 |
|
|
| Welcome to the Super Bowl edition of the Brew Crew Corner. It has been an exciting season, and it’s even better when your team is playing in the Super Bowl. One thing fantasy football leagues lack is a Pro Bowl game. Since fantasy leagues don't have a Pro Bowl, I simulate a game each year to showcase the best fantasy players. Could you imagine if you had all these players on your roster? Records would fall. |

The Prognosticator - Superbowl Edition
Tony Holm, The Prognosticator
Jan 27, 2012 |
|

My heart is in this one. I know it's not fashionable to be a Patriots fan, I get the "hate the good team" philosophy, I'm a root for the underdog kind of guy too but for me, I'm in New England, I've lived here a long time, I like many of the teams in the NFL, but I'm a Patriots fan and I'm not ashamed. I still have night sweats over the 1985 Tony Eason led Patriots. I have a number of devastating sports moments that I've witnessed, I'm sure you all have too with your respective home teams whether it be NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL or whatever sports you follow. The 2007 Superbowl against the Giants and "that catch" to spoil a perfect season is at the top of the list.

Tim Davoll, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Jan 25, 2012 |
|
|
| All that remains for the football season are two teams. One last game to end it all in Indianapolis. After starting out my prognostications with a record of 2-2, I came back with a 3-1 week followed by a 2-0 week. |

Zach Greubel, Fantasy Football Guest Writer
Jan 24, 2012 |
|
|
| The 2011 fantasy football season has come to its unfortunate end. The following are the 10 players who I think pleasantly surprised fantasy owners this season in order of least surprising to most surprising. Granted, these players could probably be moved up or down one spot and it wouldn’t make much difference, but to each their own. |

Week 17: The End of the 2011 Fantasy Season

Dec 31, 2011 |
|
|
| Welcome to the last Brew Crew corner of 2011. This is the final week of the 2011 NFL regular season and the completion of 2011 Fantasy leagues. Congratulations to those who won a championship last week. This week will be the final games for those who have a 14 week regular season.

Thanks for another great season of The Prognosticator. It's been fun serving it up for you, hopefully you enjoyed a few baubles of observation this year and were able to put some of it to good use. I feel like we had a really special year this year as we drained a few 3's with our crystal balling. I'm proud of what we accomplished here at FantasySharks.com for you, both what we accomplished and how we accomplished it. Thanks too to all of you, without you, we don't go. Thanks for reading, participating, playing, commenting, harassing and keeping us in line (maybe not the harassment part). We're flattered that you choose to make us a stop in your digital lives, thanks for jumping in the trenches with us in 2011, we hope to see you in 2012.

IDP Studs and Duds: Week 17
Gary Davenport, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Dec 30, 2011 |
|
|
| It’s Week 17 of the 2011 season, and while that means that most IDP leagues had their championship games a week ago in some leagues one game remains, and that game will determine the league champion. So, as we head down this road for the final time this year here’s a look at some players you should give serious consideration to getting into your lineups or who could outperform expectations (Studs) and some that, for whatever reason, you may want to consider leaving alone, or at least take into account that they may be a relative disappointment this week.

|
|
| Your fantasy football season is likely over by now and if you are like me you are already suffering from withdrawal. Most leagues have their championship game in week 16, but that doesn’t mean that week 17 and the offseason don’t offer great information to consider for next season. Here are a few tips to remember for this week and beyond. |

Start/Bench: Week 17
Ron Anish, Fantasy Football Senior Staff Writer
Dec 28, 2011 |
|
|
| The key to choosing your lineup in week 17 is finding the guys with something to play for whether that is the playoffs or just pride. Those teams that have already clinched home field advantage or cannot move up in the playoff seedings have plenty of land mines waiting for you. Tread carefully. |
