The Fantasy Avenger

 This year in lieu of researching players that won't ever end up on my team, I decided to let Hollywood describe everyone's keeper going into 2021. The players are listed in the order of our draft, some quotes are better than others, but I think all of them at least have something to do with each player.  ~ Travis Kelce ~ "I am inevitable" Nothing is more inevitable than Kelce being the TE1. He has only done it 5 years in a row, and is in line to do it again. This might have been the easiest player to describe, because if there are any guarantees in life its death, taxes, and Kelce as the tight end 1.  ~ Stefon Diggs ~ "You had my curiosity, now you have my attention" We were all curious if Stefon Diggs could make it as an elite receiver, but after his year in Buffalo he now has the whole fantasy world looking at him. Diggs always had the talent and the ability to make it as a top 5 receiver, but he didn't have the right set of circumstances. Now after j...

 Hey everyone, I am back again after a two week hiatus. I am excited to be writing again, not only for my small fan base, but also to help you in a week 14 playoff match-up. If you read my week 11 article you probably remember that it was my worst week of the season, as I missed pretty badly on all of my selections. I apologize to anyone who may have lost their match-up due to my advice. I will look to get back in your good graces this week with a brand new line up of players who can play a big role in your playoff success. If you missed playoffs in your league, be sure to still pay attention to all the games until the season is over. While other players in your league check out, the information you gather toward the end of the season can pay dividends come draft day next year. Good luck to everyone this week, and I hope all of you are back again next week ready to win your round 2 playoff game.  For those who are new to this article, I choose players who are ranked outside of...

 Hey everyone, I hope all of your teams secured victories in week 10, despite the failure of your week 10 fantasy avengers. Kalen Ballage was the only player who answered the call of Fantasy Avenger. Drew Lock, Brandin Cooks, and Jerick Mckinnon all finished well below their week 10 rank and its no surprise that all of their teams lost their real life games. Drew Lock looked like a deer in the headlights, throwing 4 interceptions to a team who only had three picks on the year. Mckinnon left the game early with a neck injury, but before that he wasn't getting much done on the ground, rushing for a meager 1.8 yards per carry. Brandin Cooks is the least disappointing of the three because while the targets were still there the weather played a huge factor which limited his upside.  With such a disappointing showing this past week, I will put a greater emphasis on weather games, especially when it comes to quarterbacks and receivers. I will also put more weight behind rushing defen...

      Hey everyone, I am back again for your week 10 fantasy avengers. I apologize for missing last week and for posting so late this week. I was out of town and didn’t have time to get this done. In my return I am looking to hit on all 4 avengers. I have hit on about 45% of my calls which isn’t to bad for my first season.      It’s week 10 and the fantasy playoffs are drawing near. For some managers you’re staring down a 3-6 start and view each week as a must win, or is that just me? For most leagues the trade deadline has come and gone so you’re stuck with the team you have minus a couple of waivers. This week is a do or die and so you need to hit on every player in your lineup and I intend to do the same with this article. That’s enough talk for me this week, lets get right to it and build a team worthy of taking down the Thanos in your league.  Drew Lock (FantasyPros Rank #16)      Drew Lock may not fit the mold of Captain Ame...

 This article better explains the requirements and goals of the Fantasy Avengers weekly article Captain America Steve Rogers AKA Captain America is the unquestioned leader of the Avengers. Even though Cap is not the strongest member of the team, without him the Avengers would not be able to capitalize on all of their potential. Just like with the avengers a football team can only be as good as its quarterback. The QB who makes this designation may not be the best player on his team, but it is someone I believe can lead his team to fantasy success. From a ranking standpoint I will choose QBs who are outside the top 15 who I believe will finish inside the top 10. Hulk On the surface Bruce Banner is just a normal guy who couldn’t fight his way out of a paper bag, but if you get him angry he turns into the Incredible Hulk. While Banner is very valuable to the Avengers on a week to week basis, they really need the Hulk when it comes to stopping the world's toughest foes. As a fantasy fo...

 Last week the Fantasy Avengers finally took home a win! Joe Burrow finished as the quarterback four on the week, after throwing for over 400 yards and 3 touchdowns. He made his fantasy day even sweeter by adding 34 rushing yards on the ground, while also adding a rushing touchdown. One of the biggest hits of the week was Chase Edmonds. In last weeks thriller versus the Seahawks, Edmonds rushed the ball only 5 times for 58 yards, but his real Hulking-out moment came in the receiving game after hauling in 7 catches for 87 yards. Although he was unable to smash the ball into the end-zone, he did quite enough to finish as the running back 8 on the week. Now that Drake is out of the picture with an ankle injury, I won't be able to pick Edmonds as the Hulk or even as Thor because I expect him to be a top 15 running back week in and week out. Lastly, my Iron man pick of the week, Amari Cooper had a solid showing. Although he didn't finish inside of the top 15 he still came through wi...

 Week 7 is upon us, and fantasy football is becoming a bit more predictable. With 6 weeks of data we now know which teams to target for specific match-ups and which ones to avoid. We know that Saints are not the best at guarding the tight-end, and that you should start all of your players versus the Cowboys putrid defense. We also know that the Steelers rush defense is the real deal and that the Chicago defense is here to stay. While we can do all the research and make the right call on paper, fantasy football is still a cruel mistress, who can make you regret the most chalked up start. The week 6 fantasy avengers are a testament to how chaotic fantasy is, as the Avengers went 0-4 in all of their match-ups. I hope that I can pick a better team of Avengers for this week.  I do not have a lot of time to get this posted so this is going to be short write ups for this particular article.  Devin Singletary  (Rank # 19)  This week Devin Singletary will be facing ...
