Strategy

Week 17 of the NFL probably didn't have much impact on your fantasy season, but records were there to be had, as well as playoff berths and playoff seeding. Don't recall this much being on the line this late, in quite some time. Lets roll, folks...

By now you might know if your Christmas Fantasy Stocking is stuffed with Championship winnings, or if you're hard at work adjusting your 2013 dynasty roster. Either way, one fantasy season ends and another begins. Here are my final regular season thoughts, and of course, look for the 2Mugs Fantasy Playoff Challenge in the coming weeks. So all is not lost, my friends. Cheers!

The Sunday games are now in the books, here are my early week 14 takeaways to ready you for round two of your fantasy playoffs...

(1) Just when I thought my streaming defensive pick (Cleveland) was about to bust in the first few minutes of the game, after giving up an 80-yard TD to Jamaal Charles, Travis Benjamin rips off a 93-yard punt return for a TD...the longest in franchise history. Along with 5 sacks and an INT, this is an every week fantasy defense.

The Sunday games are now in the books, here are my early week 12 takeaways...

(1) *Waves off the Canton bust maker for Jalen Parmele.* In the meantime, while Parmele left with a leg injury, Jennings scored his first TD since Romney had momentum. Fuck us all.

(2) I mentioned last week that Jon Dwyer had carved out a role for himself, and Redman and Mendenhall (twice) both punctuated my point by fumbling against Cleveland...and then Dwyer fumbles. Chris Rainey scored however, so yeah, this is a pretty shitty Todd Haley mind fuck we're about to endure. Buckle up.

The Sunday early games are nearly in the books, here are my early week 10 takeaways...

(1) The Wright Stuff- Jairus Wright found the end zone (he started with Harvin being ruled out with an ankle injury this week), but I wouldn't hurry to the waiver wire in redraft. Vikings have a bye next week, and Harvin could return week 12. Feel free to add Wright in dynasty leagues however.
