Every year, in the world of fantasy football, there are a few guys that just don’t live up to expectations. No matter how good your team is, you’ll always have at least one guy on your team that you hate. Every so often, there will be a guy SO BAD that you swear you’ll never draft him ever again. NO MATTER WHAT. You hate him for destroying your dream of fantasy football glory and you’ll never forgive him.

The 2012 season is no different. Below you will find a list of players who are currently the most hated men in fantasy football.

This year, I’m especially bitter because my fantasy team has had a rough go of it. There are numerous people on this list that I have on one of my two struggling teams.  I should have just put my entry fee on black at the roulette table at Party Casino instead and I could have saved myself some aggravation.

Note: stats are accurate through week 10 of 2012 season

For this first time ever, the NFL is having Thursday night games every week. When I initially heard this, I thought it was great. Another night to watch football! Another night to gamble (click here) on NFL spreads!

But it’s a couple weeks into the season now and I’m starting to realize Thursday Night Football might not be that great of a thing after all. At least not for me. Here are a few reasons why… (more…)

Fantasy football draft season is here!  Around this time of year, any serious fantasy football player is likely to be spending a lot of free time pouring through cheat sheets, reading magazine and Internet articles and looking for injury updates on players they are targeting.

This is all well and good but it’s important to not neglect your fantasy football team name.  This is a KEY aspect of any fantasy football league and all owners should give their team name proper thought.  Picking a lame team name is such an egregious offense; one could make an argument for kicking an offender out of the league.

Picking a good team name can be very challenging, however.   It may just as difficult as deciding on a your draft strategy.  From searching through forum alias names and avatars, through to player monikers on JackpotCapitalCasino.com, there are lots of genius ideas around the web. Here are a few tips to help you come up with a great team name… (more…)

The 2011 season is no different. Below you will find a list of players who are currently the most hated men in fantasy football.

I prepared a similar list in 2009, but many of those players have become largely irrelevant. Predictably their shitty play in the fantasy world correlated with their shitty play in real life and now most of them are out of football. Before I get to the current list, let’s recap where the players from my 2009 list stand now. (more…)

I typically do some sort of fantasy football post around this time each year.  This year I struggled with a way to present a fantasy football post in a different manner than in years’ past.  I suppose I could have done some sort of predictions or strategy guide but I waited too long to do that and no one is coming to this site for fantasy football advice anyway.

Instead, I have a somewhat random collection of thoughts about the upcoming season and fantasy football in general.  They are a little all over the place but hopefully you’ll find this post both informative and entertaining.  (more…)

Back in September, Don Valdez, Deuce McGee and I got together and did a podcast with predictions for the 2010 NFL Season.  Well the regular season is now over and its time to take a look at how we did.  The results weren’t pretty.  Let’s take a look…

[TABLE=9]

As you can see, Deuce McGee did the best of the three, picking three out of eight division winners and selecting seven of 12 playoff teams.   He also accurately picked the Falcons to finish ahead of the Saints.   Not too shabby. (more…)

August can be a depressing month for a lot of people.  The summer is winding down, which means the warmer weather will leave us soon and many of us will be heading back to work or school shortly.  But if there’s one thing to get excited about in August—at least from a man’s point of view—it’s your fantasy football draft.

Sadly, throughout the years, there are few things that I anticipate more than my fantasy football draft.  Every year I prepare more for my draft than I probably did for my GMAT, SAT and every final I ever took in college.  I leave no stone unturned.  I read up on ESPN.com during my lunch break and comb through fantasy football magazines when I sit on the toilet.  My hard work has paid off as I have become the most decorated manager in my league, winning three times in seven years…and yes, my Mother is very proud.

Now today, I give you my keys to my success…. (more…)

Lester’s Legends, a fantasy sports blog, is running a survey to determine if people are more passionate about their favorite football team or their fantasy sports team. 

Lester’s Legend’s says:
At one time or another, I bet everyone has wondered whether we should root for a fantasy player who is going up against our “real” NFL team.  I think it all boils down to a simple question:  does it feel better when my fantasy football team wins, or when my favorite NFL team wins?

This conundrum comes up on an almost weekly basis and its something many fantasy football fans wrestle with.  There is no better example of this dilemma for me than this Thursday night’s game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Indianapolis Colts. (more…)

At LwB, we have compiled a list of the most hated men in fantasy football. These guys are perennial losers who will irritate owners on a yearly basis.

LARRY JOHNSON
Larry Johnson burst upon the scene during the 2005 season, scoring 20 TDs and rushing for 1,750 yards. Then in 2006 he carried the ball a remarkable 416 times for 1,789 yards and 17 scores. The year after, he was the consensus #1 pick in fantasy football drafts. He proceeded to screw over owners with the first pick by running for a measly 559 yards and three scores. 2008: another terrible year. In 2009, he has gained more attention for his twitter updates than his rushing abilities.

Despite three straight awful years, there is always some poor schmuck who takes a chance on him on draft day, only to bury him on the bench for the season. Every Larry Johnson owner cringes in fear when his starting RB has a bye and he is forced to start LJ as he rushes for 43 yards on 32 carries. (more…)

While I was watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia the other day I came across an advertisement for new show that looks like it could be hilarious. (more…)
