High Staked: Quarterly Report Card

By now, nearly the end of Week 3, you have a pretty good idea where your teams are heading and who your weekly starters are. Because the FFPC Main Event season is only 11 games, the end of tonight’s Pittsburgh-Tampa game marks more than a quarter of the way through the schedule, when optimistic owners dare to start eyeing that $250,000 grand prize while depressed…...

I’m in a dynasty league where, during preseason, my only viable starting quarterback was Jameis Winston. That’s because last year my only viable starting quarterback was Cam Newton, and early in the 2017 season I traded him for Winston, who had that weird Week 1 bye that made him extra valuable only to me, a miserly fantasy football owner who didn’t want to pay for a…...

Football is a violent sport. Fantasy football? Not so much. But what if you played fantasy football while pretending to be an unrelenting time-traveling cyborg assassin, ruthlessly eliminating a player from your roster every week while spouting nearly 30-year-old catch phrases like “Hasta la vista, baby” in a really bad Austrian accent?…...

High Staked: Drafting After the Thursday Night Opener

High stakes champion Monty Phan discusses how to approach the Thursday night riddle for those drafting in main events and other contests this weekend. There have been times when I’ve gotten so mad at myself for making a wrong lineup decision that I’ve actually thought: If only I could see the future, I would’ve made sure to start the other guy so I could get…...

Takeaways from High-Stakes Startup Dynasty ADP
