I’m A Peacock. You Gotta Let Me Fly
The sports world gave us myriad headlines to wrap our heads around on a Tuesday night. James Harden of the Rockets recorded a ridiculous 60-point Triple Double. The embattled Cavaliers lost Kevin Love for 6-8 weeks to a broken hand. Alex Smith was traded to the Redskins, thereby opening up the Kirk Cousins sweepstakes. And […]
Harmon’s Post-Waiver Pickups Week 4
Week 4 of this NFL season brings a number of wrinkles. First, the dreaded Bye weeks begin and blow holes in our lineups. That’s right.

2013 Q1 Strength Of Schedule Fantasy QBs Based on 2012 Data
I know that this data set is based on imperfect numbers from the 2012 season. There’s going to be noise in the data. Obviously, teams made shifts in personnel through free agency and the draft to improve on last season’s failures, and we see a good number of teams rise from the depths to playoff […]

Wild Card Picks: Harmon Throwing Darts
The countdown clock is running down, and we’re getting set for Wild Card Weekend in the NFL. It’s cliche at this point, but the field for this weekend is quite a surprise.
