RotoScoop.com – The Scoop on Fantasy Sports

  • Monday Morning Quarterback

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer While I’ve gotten plenty right so far – don’t make Larry Johnson a top-5 pick, Carson Palmer No. 1 fantasy QB, Adrian Peterson, Travis Henry, etc. – I can’t help but feel like a massive failure with my misses – Maurice Jones-Drew, Lee Evans, Vince Young hasn’t been…

  • Bet on It

    Robby Says: Like Matt McConaughey in “Two For the Money,” all I do is work out and pick winners… I like a 6-point teaser with the Colts (-1) @ Tenn, Bengals (-.5) @ Cle and Eagles (-.5) vs. Wash: $55 to win $50. I’m teasing just the Colts and Bengals 6 points: $55 to win…

  • Monday Morning Quarterback

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer There wasn’t a bigger surprise this week than Randy Moss’ performance. He missed all of the preseason and even seemingly still appeared less than 100 percent, yet torched the Jets’ secondary play after play. Leg issues will likely continue to hamper him, but there’s obviously quite a bit…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Joe Borowski has a 5.50 ERA this season. He also has 40 saves. Again, the saves category is the silliest statistic in all of sports. Dontrelle Winless – Since May 30, Dontrelle Willis has one win. One. He’s 1-11 over that span. Joba Chamberlain gives the Yankees a…

  • If I Had $1,000 Dollars

    Robby Says: Ever since Bodog stopped accepting my credit card, I’ve been unable to continually and habitually bet on sports (this is not necessarily a bad thing). To alleviate these withdrawal pains, I decided to give myself $1,000 in fake money and see how I do betting on NFL (and occasional College Football) games this…

  • My Guys

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Vince Young – Matthew Berry and Eric Karabell don’t have Young in their top-10 QBs. Hahahahahahaha. Bold prediction: Young is a universal first round pick in fantasy leagues next year. Travis Henry – He wears overalls, not condoms. Henry is prone to bumps and bruises, but he’s going…

  • Undervalued Running Backs

    By Justin Hume – Guest Writer from WeeklyProjections.com: If you haven’t heard, RotoHog.com is giving away $300,000 this football season in totally free prizes. With that kind of opportunity it’s certainly worth signing up to give it a try, and it’s also worth taking some time to get a leg up on the competition. How…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Brandon Jackson is one of the best mid-round values in fantasy leagues right now. Vernand Morency is his only competition, and he’s questionable for Week 1, continuing a career-long theme of being injury-prone (career-high in carries is 91). Jackson played in a similar zone-blocking scheme in college, so…

  • Bengals in the Playoffs

    By Robby Wellington – Staff Writer Before we move on to the next rounds of our draft, I wanted to quickly point something out about the Bengals.  Cincinnati, already an offensive juggernaut, plays the Rams at home, at the 49ers and at home against the Browns in weeks 14, 15 and 16, respectively.  Compare that…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Don’t be surprised if Ladell Betts and Leon Washingon are difference makers in fantasy leagues this season. Clinton Portis’ knee tendinits is clearly worrisome, and Betts was a top-5 running back when on the field last season. Plus, the Redskins’ run blocking is elite. As for Washington, he’s…

  • The Scoop

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer While the transition into football mode is in full effect, we can’t completely ignore baseball. After all, my team is making a mad dash toward first place… Do you realize Dan Uggla has scored 89 runs with a paltry .322 OBP? I guess that’s what happens when batting…
