Fantasy Football: Week 17
December 30, 2011 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Opinions Editor
If you’re still playing for a fantasy title this week, then shame on you for picking a bad league. Sorry, I had to say it. Good luck if you’re still playing, but this week there are very few sure plays, because it’s Week 17. Who to Start: QB Philip Rivers (SD) vs. OAK: The Chargers... Read more »

Fantasy Football: Week 7
October 29, 2011 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Opinions Editor
Did you have a good week 7? Now that bye weeks are nearly done, your fantasy lineups won’t be in a constant state of flux much anymore. But, that doesn’t mean that sleepers and waiver wire pickups are going to be needed, because they will be, and that’s why you look at this list, right? Byes:... Read more »

Fantasy Football: Week 1
September 10, 2011 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Opinions Editor
The column is back, and it should be an exciting fantasy season. Plenty of new players in new uniforms should impact your fantasy team in many ways, and so should the lockout. Enjoy the 2011 fantasy season! Who to Start: QB Kevin Kolb (ARZ) vs. CAR: One of the many old faces in new places, and he will... Read more »
Fantasy Football Week 17
December 31, 2010
Did you have a good Week 16? If you’re still in it, then this is truly your last chance to make fantasy noise. This is the most odd week of the entire season, so be careful of who needs their game and who doesn’t. Who to Start: QB Matt Schaub (HOU) vs. JAX: Even if Andre Johnson doesn’t play, this...

Fantasy Football Week 15
December 17, 2010 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12), Eastside Staff
Did you have a good Week 14? You’re either in the playoffs or out by now, and again you need your best performances. I’m here to try to help you out with that.

Fantasy Football Week 13
December 3, 2010 • Matt Lictenshtadter ('12)/ Eastside Staff
Did you have a good week 12? This may be your last week to get into the playoffs, for others, it may be the penultimate. Either way: you’d best be ready for the toughest fantasy week of the year.

Fantasy Football Week 12

Did you have a good Week 11? I did, somewhat. Now as we get close to playoff time, wins are everything, and you need contributions from everybody.

Fantasy Football Week 11
November 19, 2010 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Staff
Did you have a good week 10? Well, I did, until Michael Vick started for my opponent. And, in my other league, the guy had DeSean Jackson. Oh well. Now, there are no more bye weeks, and we’re in it for the stretch run, and the playoffs start soon, so you’d best be ready. Writers Note: This column... Read more »
Fantasy Football Week 8
October 29, 2010 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Staff
How was your week 7? For me, it was bad, very bad actually. These next 2 weeks are going to be tough with the 6 teams on byes, so your waiver wire pickups will be huge for these next 2 weeks. Byes: ATL, BAL, CHI, CLE, NYG, PHI Who to Start: QB Matt Cassel (KC) vs. BUF: He’s been a good spot starter... Read more »
Fantasy Football Week 7
October 21, 2010 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/Eastside Staff
Did you have a good week 6? I didn’t. Both of my fantasy teams lost, and so did my real time. I had a bad weekend, but that’s what my picks are for, and they were pretty decent. I wonder if I can get better luck from my fantasy and real teams, if I sacrifice my picks. No, because that would sacrifice... Read more »
Fantasy Football Start and Sit Week 6
October 17, 2010 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Staff

Byes: CIN, ARZ, BUF, CAR Who to Start: QB Vince Young (TEN) vs. JAX MON: The Jaguars pass D is 29th in the league against the pass, and due... Read more »
Fantasy Football Week 4
October 1, 2010 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Staff
Did you have a good week 3? My fantasy teams did, but my real team didn’t (if you know me, you know who that is). Hopefully the momentum continues this week. Byes: TB, MIN, KC, DAL Who to Start: QB Bruce Gradkowski (OAK) vs. HOU: He didn’t get Oakland a win in Arizona, but he opened up the Raider... Read more »
Week 3 Fantasy Football
September 26, 2010 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/Eastside Staff
Did you have a good week 2? I won in one league, failed in the other, but here this week we have good matchups to behold. Read up, and let the controversy reign. Note: I’m not putting any Patriots on the list, because you’d start them anyway against BUFFALO. Who to Start: QB Michael Vick (PHI) vs.... Read more »
Fantasy Football Week #2
September 18, 2010 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Staff
Did you have a good week 1? My predictions were pretty good, yet my teams did horribly! I actually should follow my own advice. Who to Start: QB: Joe Flacco (BAL) vs. CIN: As I thought, he had a pretty poor week against the Jets. That shouldn’t been an issue against the Bengals, who got torn apart... Read more »

Week 13: Fantasy start and sit
December 5, 2009 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Staff

Fantasy football: week 10 start and sit
November 13, 2009 • Matt Lichtenstadter ('12)/ Eastside Staff
How was your week 9? I’m hoping I start turning around these picks, although I’m doing ok. This is the last week of byes so no more adjusting rosters for that. NOTE: These picks DO NOT include the Thursday Night Game, CHI/SF. Byes: Houston, New York Giants Start of the Week: RB Chris Johnson... Read more »

Fantasy Column for Week 15
December 13, 2008 • Scott Gross ('09)
Fantasy Column for Week 15 QB Kurt Warner vs. MIN- Minnesota’s pass defense isn’t that great and Warner has plenty of weapons to exploit the Vikings defense. Aaron Rodgers @ JAC- Jacksonville’s defense isn’t good and Packers should be all over the horrendous Jags. Tony Romo vs. NYG- Not... Read more »
Fantasy Column 13
November 30, 2008 • Scott Gross ('09)
Fantasy Column 13 QB Drew Brees @ TB- Tampa’s defense has been solid all year but Brees may be able to get through them. Plus, he gets Reggie Bush back this week and Deuce McAllister isn’t suspended so should have plenty of weapons in a must-win game. Aaron Rodgers vs. CAR- Rodgers should do well... Read more »
Fantasy Column 11
November 16, 2008 • Scott Gross ('09)
Fantasy Column 11 QB Peyton Manning vs. HOU- Manning ended up having a good day against them last time. He has plenty of weapons at home against a pretty decimated secondary. Expect a huge day and the sky’s the limit. Drew Brees @ KC- This game should have a lot of scoring in it since 2 good offenses... Read more »
Fantasy football column 9
November 2, 2008 • Scott Gross ('09)/Eastside Staff
QB Aaron Rodgers @ TEN- There will be better days for Aaron and the cheeseheads. Tennessee is a top 5 overall defense and still undefeated. In Tennessee, Rodgers will have his good throws but an overall mediocre day at best. Kurt Warner @ STL- This could go either way for Warner. St. Louis’s secondary... Read more »

Fantasy Column 8
October 26, 2008 • Scott Gross ('09)
Fantasy Column 8 QB Philip Rivers @ NO- Tally Ho! This game will be the game played in London this year. It has all the ingredients for a shootout, and in order for the Chargers to get out in front early, Rivers will need a big game and will deliver it. Drew Brees vs. SD- The opposing QB in this game...
