Head2Head Tips: Release the Big 12 Hounds

Our Forum on Ning spawned a couple excellent writers/entertainers this season. Most of you know the effervescent “Neil Young” but you should also get to know Topher Dean. Topher comes through again with some great analysis of the best values at Head2Head.com’s College Salary Cap Game. My favorite snippet: So do you start Bradford or [...]

Head2Head Tips, or my look at the big six conference weekend lineup

I am happy to announce that I lead my division in the Fantasy College Blitz 30-team league and am third in scoring – so my whole “find some value and load up on big names” theory has worked well. I just am choosing not to use that method this week. Nation’s leader of yards from [...]

BlitzIndex College Football Defense Rankings for Week 6

Halfway home to the fantasy playoffs, and I must admit it is nice to see the old BI giving us some early signals of which defensive matchups you should avoid for your starting lineup. Minnesota, last year ranking in the 100s overall, now is a legit force (#46 BI, #21 nationally in yards per point [...]

This list, especially the Top Ten, is pretty safe with no discernible reaches. Also lots of small “waterbug” wideouts, certainly much more than I am used to ranking [...]

CHEATSHEET v1: Top 21 Fantasy College Tight Ends

Ah, the underappreciated and traditionally ignored fantasy college football position of TE. Some systems treat the position as third tackles, others put 210-pound bulked up WRs at the position. Missouri likes to split their TE out wide, BYU likes to throw to them early and often. Darius Hill of Ball State (right, Icon SMI) produces [...]

CHEATSHEET v1: Top 55 Fantasy College WRs

Certain things you can count on in this life. Death. Taxes. Jack Bauer beating the bad guys. Drew Smith being properly caffeinated by noon. Texas Tech wide receivers shock and awe defenses every year. I know everyone saw Mike Crabtree (right, Icon SMI) coming last year, but you didn’t see those huge numbers coming . [...]
