I am your Sweet Fantasy once again and the Wagner Wire is fired up for this season. This is the first of my division preview series which will go over the fantasy options on each team. It’s good to be back!   Buffalo Bills   The Bills found a way to end their long playoff drought last year. They never totally bought into the Tyrod Taylor era and now will make way to future starter Josh Allen. Their biggest fantasy star the past 3 years has been LeSean McCoy. Shady is living up

Sweet Fantasy – Playoffs?

Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire If the regular season is a marathon then the Fantasy Playoffs are a street fight where anything and everything is allowed. You've worked hard all season to assemble a team worthy of taking home Fantasy Gold. This is a guide to what to do and not do in the Fantasy Playoffs. Dance with who brought you If you've played fantasy football for even a few years then you know that match-ups play a big part in deciding whether your players come up big or fall short. You shouldn't ignore match-ups once the playoffs start but you also shouldn't start a guy off the waiver wire with a nice match-up over Antonio Brown. I'll never

Sweet Fantasy – 69 Things from Week 12

Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire I hope everyone had a great Holiday Weekend full of food, football, and family. It is now one of the most important weeks of the Fantasy Football Season. Week 13 is the last week of the regular season in many leagues so those Byes and last playoffs spots are on the line. Without further ado here are 69 things I took away from Week 12.   The Dallas Cowboys and any Fantasy owners of theirs sure miss Ezekiel Elliott. The offense is just completely out of synch. Rod Smith is an interesting guy to pick up for the playoffs with Alfred Morris struggling and Darren McFadden retiring after being waived. In a season

Sweet Fantasy – 69 Things from Week 9

Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire It's time to get down once again. The fantasy performances were a little uneven in Week 9. We are down to the home stretch in most leagues with only 4 weeks left to make the playoffs. Here are 69 things I took away from Week 9. Holy smokes, Carson Wentz is gonna win a lot of people Fantasy Titles. Jay Ajayi looked impressive on only 9 carries. Alshon Jeffery is emerging a little. Even so, this was only Jeffery's second game with more than 4 receptions. The Cowboys have quite the young Quarterback as well in Dak Prescott. He is a true Fantasy Stud. Terrance Williams caught all 9 of his targets

Sweet Fantasy – 69 Things from Week 8: DeShaun Watson injury edition

Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire Week 8 was a whirlwind. The bye weeks are in full swing and Week 9 is especially brutal. Let's get right down to it. 69 things, thoughts, and anecdotes from Week 8.... That was the original open. The days that have passed since then have brought turmoil and pain as well as new hope to many Fantasy Owners. Some comments have been edited but I included the original comment. Original comment: You can't stop Deshaun Watson. You can only hope to contain him. Edit...Dear God Why??? DeShaun Watson tore his ACL in practice and is out for the season. Original comment: Will Fuller has 7 TDs on just 22 targets. Very Efficient. Edit...Glad

Sweet Fantasy 6 lists of 9 – Week 7

Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire We are through 7 weeks which is a little over half of the regular season. Your Sweet Fantasy is switching things up a little this week. I'm bringing you 6 lists of 9 from the first half of the Fantasy Football season. These lists are compiled by yours truly and cover a range of things. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Top 9 Week Winners These are players that had outrageous weeks that won you the week by themselves. Several of these players could have been here multiple times. Kareem Hunt Week 1 - 148 rushing yards 5 receptions 98 receiving yards 3 total TD Amari Cooper Week 7 - 11 receptions 210 receiving yards

Sweet Fantasy – 69 Things from Week 6

Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire Week 6 is in the books and here's what I learned. 69 times. The Steelers are going to get every ounce of production that they can from Le'veon Bell this year. I do not believe he will be a Steeler next year. Antonio Brown is the best WR I’ve seen since Jerry Rice. Only Amari Cooper has been a bigger bust than Martavis Bryant at the WR position. The Browns still don’t have a QB. Copy and pasted every year since 1999. Joe Flacco is tough to watch. It’s really hard to put any Ravens in your lineup right now besides their Defense. Andy Dalton is available in some leagues and should

Sweet Fantasy – 69 Things from Week 5

Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire Week 5 is in the books so here are 70-1 things I took away from it. Ben Roethlisberger is playing like he did retire after last year. The only Steelers players you can start right now are Antonio Brown and Le'veon Bell. Joe Mixon is getting the carries now but his 2.8 ypc needs to improve if he is going to break out. The Bengals offense is starting to look better. AJ Green is the Elite WR nobody talks about. He is on pace for over 1600 yards receiving. Joe Flacco shouldn't be owned in many fantasy leagues. It's hard to trust any Ravens WR on any given week. Buck Allen is

Sweet Fantasy – 69 Things from Week 4

Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire We are a quarter of the way through the NFL Season. Here are 69 things, thoughts, facts, and anecdotes from Week 4. Le'veon Bell's preseason is officially over. I'm still worried about Ben Roethlisberger. Martavis Bryant has been open a lot. Juju Smith-Schuster is playing more snaps. He could be in for a decent workload this week with Brown and Bryant seeing Ramsey and Bouye. Alex Collins needs to stop fumbling because he looks like the Ravens best runner by a lot. Joe Flacco earned his contract but it's hard to watch him play football right now. The Bengals Offense has looked much better since Bill Lazor took over. Joe Mixon can't

Sweet Fantasy – 69 Things about Week 3

Chris Sweet - Senior Fantasy Analyst: The Wagner Wire It's time again for a 69 pack of thoughts, musings, facts, and anecdotes from your Sweet Fantasy. The Patriots D is going to force Tom Brady to throw a lot this year. Brandin Cooks showed what kind of an impact he can have last week. He is still going to be frustrating to own week to week. Deshaun Watson is going to have some big fantasy weeks in this league. Is it just me or does D'onta Foreman already look like the best RB on the Texans? Jared Goff and the Rams offense looked amazing against the 49ers. If they can have a similar game against the Cowboys it will be time
