I am a simple Wisconsin man: I love beer and sports. I decided to create FlurrySports because I was sick of the politics and non-stories that the fat cat corporations put out. When you see football articles from me, just know that I combine my knowledge from playing, coaching, athletic training, and sports management/economic courses to give you a unique, but I feel well-rounded point of view. I am always down to talk about anything, so follow me on Twitter @FantasyFlurry if you decide you want more of me!

You read that right! Aside from the typical weekly talk on who to add or drop, we’re also going to talk about some handcuffs that need to be owned! We’re approaching the final push for fantasy playoffs right now, so it’s time to take things seriously. Roster construction starts to evolve from stashing players with upside to holding handcuffs or players with good playoff schedules. Thinking about future weeks is necessary, but don’t forget about winning this week too. There’s a pretty good balance of these thoughts in the remainder of this article. Let’s jump right into it and see…

**Updated 11/5** Teams on Bye: CHI, MIN, CLE, LAC, NE, PIT We made it through the trade deadline without too much player movement effecting us fantasy owners. Whether that’s good or not is certainly subjective. The two biggest moves that does hit us in our fantasy world was the movement of Jay Ajayi and Kelvin Benjamin, both of which I covered briefly at those links. At the time of writing this, we are unsure if these two will be on snap counts or not. However, I do update my rankings throughout the week, as news breaks and TNF finishes, so…

Well, that was a pretty uneventful trade deadline. This morning started out hot with the trade of Ajayi to the Eagles, then Adam Schefter said how this was the most active trade deadline in awhile with all the chatter between teams. Everything then went silent. There was no trade news to be had until after the deadline passed. We then found out that Kelvin Benjamin surprisingly was traded to the Bills and the Browns did the most Browns thing ever by not calling the league in time to notify them of their trade for Bengals backup quarterback, A.J. McCarron. This…

The Dolphins and Eagles kick off this Halloween edition of the NFL trade deadline with a trade of the Miami running back to Philadelphia. Eagles Get: Jay Ajayi Dolphins Get: 4th Round Draft Pick Jay Ajayi is in his third season out of Boise State University. After dropping in the draft due to a knee issue, he has struggled to stay healthy on a regular basis. With a backfield full of question marks and injuries of their own, the Eagles could really use a solid runner like Ajayi. Ajayi had a breakout season in his second year, running for 1,272…

There are very few players each week to have confidence in, and they are usually priced up because of it. Because of that, you need a bit of salary relief elsewhere. That is what I’m going to help you with in this article. These are players who could be valuable and help you with roster construction. They are NOT players you’re necessarily targeting, but rather the players that allow you to target the best plays on the board. They are also the ones that may provide low ownership, thus making them good tournament plays. Let’s reach into the bargain bin…
