Fantasy Baseball Expert Chat: 1PM ET

Matt Snyder — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:45:00 EST

The Major League Baseball season is less than a month away, which means it's fantasy draft season. The next three weeks will house many-a-draft, and we've got your back here at FanHouse. First, check out our Free Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit. If you have any questions or comments, that's cool -- we'll be chatting it up here at 1PM ET. Feel free to ask questions about different formats, tell us why you disagree with some picks, etc. We're open to anything (within reason, of course).

Fantasy Football Playoff Chat Extravaganza Kicks Off at 2 PM ET

Matt Snyder — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:45:00 EST

Filed under: Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

So, once again, Reggie Bush tweaked his knee and Pierre Thomas took full advantage. He exploded for 25+ points in most leagues, and hopefully you had him active. Moving forward, it's pretty obvious that even though the Saints would like to use Bush more, his knee just isn't totally healthy yet. In the meantime, they are finding Thomas can be an every down back in this league.

That's not all we have to discuss today, not in the least. We'll be piggy-backing the NFL FanHouse 1:00 chat and kick off right when it ends -- because we know that you definitely don't want to do any work after lunch on a Friday. No way, not with the fantasy playoff season in high gear and the NFL playoff picture remaining completely out of focus.

Make sure to check out our player rankings and other analysis lower down on the Fantasy FanHouse page, and we'll help fill in any gaps or answer any questions about our top-notch analysis you may have.

Week 14 Fantasy Football Sunday Morning Tailgate Kicks off at 10:30 Eastern

Matt Snyder — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 10:00:00 EST

Filed under: Sunday Morning Tailgate, Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

It's time to step up your game. Depending on your league's setup, you are either competing in the playoffs or positioning yourself for the playoffs in the last week of your regular season (seriously, like any of our readers would have bad teams).

Hopefully you had Vincent Jackson and Philip Rivers active Thursday night, so you won't have to worry about those spots for today.

Regardless, we have you covered here at FanHouse for any of your needs.

You want playoff previews? We got 'em, division by division ... NFC North, NFC South, NFC East, NFC West, AFC North, AFC South, AFC East, AFC West.

You want Week 14 positional rankings? We got 'em ... quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, kicker, and defense/special teams.

There are several injury issues, like Clinton Portis, Marion Barber, Matt Hasselbeck, Trent Edwards, Brian Westbrook, Joseph Addai, and a bevy of others. To keep up with all that, make sure to keep your eyes glued on the up-to-the-minute player updates.

Finally, we can give you that personal touch, here in the chat. We'll get to as many questions as we can, but if you ask something that could not be answered with any of the above links, there's a better chance you'll get through.

Fantasy Football Playoff Chat Spectacular, Friday Afternoon at 2:00PM ET

Matt Snyder — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:45:00 EST

Filed under: Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

Couldn't get enough during the NFL chat? That's fine, we'll keep the party rolling over here in the fantasy section with a discussion of our own. Really, it's just one big NFL chat gala here at FanHouse. We'll kick off right when Ryan Wilson shuts down his NFL chat.

Whether your fantasy playoffs begin this week or next, Week 14 is a pivotal week for you. While we've already hooked you up with some rankings and team-by-team previews of how your players should fare in the playoffs, we're always open to discuss flex position decisions or defend things we've already said.

We can also discuss the epic Raiders/Chargers game from last night and any fantasy fallout. For example, LaDanian Tomlinson is not a definite weekly starter anymore, but Philip Rivers is.

Sunday Morning Tailgate: Live Fantasy Football Chat, Circa 10:30 AM Eastern

Ryan Dembinsky — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 09:00:00 EST

Filed under: Sunday Morning Tailgate, Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

Good morning good folks. Hopefully, everybody is off to a good start this week after the Titans read the Lions the riot act on Turkey Day and Brian Westbrook singlehandedly destroyed some opponents' hopes and dreams. Personally, I was hoping for more out of Anquan Boldin, but everybody has an off day now and again.

Moving forward, we'll be here from 10:30 ET all the way up to kickoff in an attempt to guide your fantasy football teams to victory.

Check out up-to-the-minute player notes for injury updates.

We have already completed positional rankings for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, D/STs, and kickers. Yes, it's true; we are so awesome that we actually rank kickers.

We'll be happy to tackle flex position starts, trade situations, shady commissioner activities -- pretty much anything else under the sun, including unrelated questions about Lost and Heroes, .

See you at 10:30!

Hopefully you learned your lesson Thursday night to not put all your stock into weather reports. Weather can have an adverse affect on players, but for the most part I'm pretty sure you want to play your studs.

Also, hopefully a large number of you -- though I doubt it -- enjoyed Matt Cassel's output.

Moving forward, we'll be here from 10:30 ET all the way up to kickoff in an attempt to guide your fantasy football teams to victory.

Week 11 Fantasy Football Chat: 1 PM EST Here on FanHouse

Matt Snyder — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 08:15:00 EST

Filed under: Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

As the fantasy playoff race heats up, the coverage on Fantasy FanHouse ramps up. We've gone through a lot of stuff this week, as the player rankings for the six individual positions preceded this post.

This is not to say you won't be left with questions. What about flex spot starters? Trade advice? Starting to think about keepers, as trading season heats up, for those who are already out of the race?

Also, don't be afraid to ask advice on commissioner decisions ... we've got plenty of experience with running leagues (and dealing with controversy/butt-headed owners).

Nothing fantasy-related is off-limits ... just come check us out at 1:00 today. You know you don't want to work immediately after lunch anyway -- or before lunch in Mountain and Pacific ... if you live in the Central time zone, you can take an early lunch and be back before noon.

Filed under: Sunday Morning Tailgate, Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

Ok, let's get this out of the way. JaMarcus Russell is not going to play this weekend against Carolina. Yeah, I know ... I can hear all the suicidal panic attacks coming from his fantasy owners everywhere. Sometimes you just have to fight through adversity in fantasy-land.

On a serious note, we will be having our weekly Sunday Morning Tailgate this week.

Please feel encouraged to drop on in and bombard our expert panel with questions about your lineup, take part in light-hearted debates, or make fun of over-paid famous people. We're game for anything.

Up to the minute player notes can be found here, and we'll be announcing the inactives who are fantasy relevant around 11:35.

Please join us. We'll publish as many of the fantasy relevant comments as we can and answer as many questions as is humanly possible.

Live Fantasy Football Chat at 1:00 PM on Brady Quinn Day

Matt Snyder — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:15:00 EST

Filed under: Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

What, that's not a National holiday? Who doesn't love Brady Quinn?

One of my favorite things about hype machines is how much they build as they sit on the shelf. The unknown is always exciting, but in fantasy it should be feared. The only thing worse than the unknown is the inconsistent/unpredictable (hello Kevin Curtis and every kicker).

So am I telling you not to start Quinn this week? I don't know ... I don't know who is on your roster. Maybe you have JaMarcus Russell as your only other option, in which case you should be throwing an epic party to celebrate Brady Quinn Day.

Just come chat with us Fantasy FanHouse operators. We'll give you loads of content every week, like discussions on the Broncos offense, a round-up, some trade advice, telling you whom to avoid, and even a breakdown of this obscene rookie running class.

Discuss all this and more, today at 1:00 Eastern.

Welcome to Your Crossroad: Fantasy Football Sunday Tailgate, Week 9

Tom Herrera — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 10:10:00 EST

Filed under: Sunday Morning Tailgate, Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

Playoffs!? ... I just hope we can win a game.

In the infamous words of Jim Mora, that's all it comes down to, my fantasy compatriots. You take it one game at a time, one matchup at a time, and hopefully you're lucky enough to be there in the end. Football is the crapshoot of fantasy sports, and this might as well be the most crucial week yet for some of you -- especially if you're sitting with a 4-4 record, just on the outskirts of the cut line. The rapid-fire, fun-filled tailgate chat you know and love is after the jump. But before you join us for the madness, here's some quick tidbits:

-- Up-to-the-minute player news can be found here.

-- Spot Plays: Quarterbacks .... Chad Pennington vs. Denver, Marc Bulger vs. Arizona, Matt Ryan vs. Oakland ... Running Backs ... Tim Hightower supposedly starting vs. St. Louis. Kevin Faulk vs. Indianapolis tonight. Justin Fargas vs. Atlanta may surprise. I would say Antonio Pittman vs. Arizona, but Steven Jackson says he's playing... Wide Receivers ... Devin Hester vs. Detroit, Kevin Curtis vs. Seattle, Antonio Bryant vs. Kansas City, and Kevin Walter vs. Minnesota.

Fantasy Football Questions? Come Chat With Us Circa 1:00 EST on Thursday Afternoon

Matt Snyder — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 12:15:00 EST

Filed under: Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

We've got all the positional rankings raining down upon you today (just scroll down the page below this post, ok?), we love the stash of Ryan Torain, and we most certainly love the deep sleepers who could break out in the second half of the season.

Who do you want from the Arizona backfield?

Or an even better question, what are we not covering? You have questions, let's hear 'em ... just come visit us at 1:00 pm EST on Thursday afternoon, and pick our collective fantasy-lovin' brains.

Seriously, Week 9 is a pivotal time in the fantasy football season. If you are 5-3, you need to close out this playoff season. If you sit 4-4 or 3-5, you still have time for a late-season run. Many leagues have set trade deadlines which are rapidly approaching. The time is now, my friends, to get those teams ready for the stretch run. We're just here to help ... plus, Clinton told you to take part. You wanna mess with the best player in fantasy?

Fantasy Football Tailgate: Week 8, Now Who the Heck Are These Guys?

Tom Herrera — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 10:15:00 EST

Filed under: Sunday Morning Tailgate, Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

If I told you before the season started that a guy named BenJarvus Green-Ellis would be starting for the Patriots in Week 8, you'd think I was nuttier than a Dennis Green press conference. But here we are. Green-Ellis is likely getting the main workload for the Patriots. Mewelde Moore is starting for the Steelers again. And Kansas City's Kolby Smith fills in for Larry Johnson, who is too busy being disgusted with himself.

As always, if you need the latest news updates on your fantasy players, head over to our Player Notes feed, powered by RotoTimes.com. There's a nifty search function where you can sort it by name. And our rankings for this week can be found here.

We'll be taking this bad boy from 10:30AM EST all the way till kickoff, and maybe we'll stick around to go running through the streets naked after the first touchdown (If you're lucky). Chat is after the jump. Bring your green hat.

Get Your Fantasy Tailgate On: Week 7

Tom Herrera — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 10:05:00 EST

Filed under: Sunday Morning Tailgate, Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

Week 7 can definitely be a make-or-break affair for your fantasy squad. If your team is 2-4, you're not quite as desperate as the Seahawks, but it sure is getting there. It's time to pull out all the stops and go with the upside. And that includes those wily Texans vs. "Tornado Dan" Orlovsky's Lions.

The good news is the previously injured Saints have come marching in (Colston, Shockey and even Patten). The bad news is Tony Romo won't be starting. And neither will Joseph Addai. And there's the usual annoying bye weeks to deal with (Arizona and Philly, ugh). The best news is that we'll be here once again answering all your questions until kickoff. Join myself, Brinson and Dr. Slick (Snyder) along with some other possible cameos for a fistful of fantasy football fury.

Latest player notes are here (Bookmark it)... Chat is after the jump (starting approximately 10:30am EST).

Let's Chat About Fantasy Football, Circa 1:00 PM Eastern

Matt Snyder — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 12:45:00 EST

Filed under: Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

It's that time once again ... we're approaching the weekend and fantasy owners are ready to re-load their brains with tons of information about fantasy football. The result, if things go anything like last week, is a complete lack of faith in the game as a whole.

Overall, though, FanHouse can help guide you to fantasy fortunes.

Check in and our panel -- which may or may not contain just one dude -- will help you to victory for this week and weeks to come.

Come armed with questions about possible trades, lineup questions, or anything else on your mind. Feel free to dissect anything we've written recently at Fantasy FanHouse as well. We're cool like that.

Sunday Morning Fantasy Tailgate: Week 6 (Now With More Injuries! Joy!)

Tom Herrera — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 10:10:00 EST

Filed under: Sunday Morning Tailgate, Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

Photo credit: AP (2)

Note: Due to some scheduling difficulties, this morning's Tailgate may be delayed. Please be patient and thanks for sticking around! You're my boy, Blue!

Apparently, Brian Westbrook and Carson Palmer didn't get the memo from the thousands of fantasy owners begging them to play. And now we're left to pillage the waiver wire like it was full of sweet, sweet gummy worms (or gummy sharks if you like those better). My gummy worms this week are Justin Fargas and Steve Breaston. Hi Justin and Steve, welcome to the "Browning Nagle Bomb Squad".

In case you missed it, we covered the implications of the Palmer injury here and the Westbrook injury here. Other guys that have been ruled OUT already this week include: Jon Kitna, Deion Branch, Anquan Boldin and Matt Hasselbeck is likely out as well with back spasms. Questionables include Laurence Maroney (as usual), Roddy White (reportedly playing despite having his bell rung this week), Kellen Winslow (still in a hospital as of this writing), and Eddie Royal (reportedly a bone bruise, will be limited, and I'd look for other options)

As always, check all the latest player notes right here.

Chat is after the jingly jump!

Filed under: NFL Position Rankings, NFL Sleepers, NFL Waiver Wire, Fantasy Football, NFL Fantasy Felony, Expert Chats

Sure, you can wait to set your lineup until Sunday morning -- when we tailgate -- but there are other things to be done in the middle of the fantasy week.

Need advice on any trades in the works?

Are bye weeks killing your roster, meaning you're in need of a desperation sleeper option?

We will also accept lineup questions, but there is so much more going on in the world of fantasy. You can even come check in if you just want to argue with us. You'll be wrong, but it's cool to try and stuff. We've got no problem with that.

No matter the reason, stop on in and check us out.

By the way, Larry (above right) wants me to tell you he's a must-start every week. Please don't ask about him.

I'm going to bypass any jokes about the Cubs -- it just doesn't seem necessary to rub in the Dodgers' sweep in a fantasy football post. So, no baseball talk, no "I told you so!" type of things ... just some good, old-fashioned fantasy football chat.

So, at 10:30 this morning, if free and awesome fantasy football advice is something you might be interested in, then stop by for the Tailgate. Chat is after the jump. (Latest Player Notes and More Updates Here.)

Filed under: Sunday Morning Tailgate, Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

It's that time again ... if you have fantasy questions we haven't answered yet with our positional rankings for this week, feel free to check in.

If you are worried about injuries and want the latest updates, pop on in.

Or, you know, if you just like our friendly banter, come on down and take part.

We'll be taking this baby all the way up to the 1:00 kickoffs, so there's no pressure to join in when we start bright and early (for some of us 10:30 on a Sunday is early).

Hey, maybe someone will take the time to come tell us we're all losers ... or more people will ask if we like Jonathan Stewart this week (an emphatic yes).

You never know, for when it's the Sunday Morning Tailgate, FanHouse owns. I'll now commence with the obligatory ... "bring your green hat."

Matt Snyder — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:00:00 EST

Filed under: Fantasy Football, Expert Chats

With week four upon us we have new quarterbacks, bye weeks, and lots of injuries. Is Trent Green a better pickup than Brady Quinn (yes, I know Quinn's not the starter this week)? What about Le'Ron McClain vs. Correll Buckhalter? Is Ronnie Brown really all the way back?

Check in today to get the skinny on all this good stuff and more from our fantasy football crew here at Fantasy FanHouse.

Join us at 1:00 PM Eastern today (Thursday), and we'll get to as many questions as we can. Fun banter is always welcome as well ... especially if you're making fun of one of us.
