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!

How about those rushing performances by a few of the league’s top backs? Yikes. That doesn’t even include last year’s leader in rushing touchdowns, LeGarrette Blount, going without a single rushing attempt. There is some panic among fantasy owners, and rightfully so. This week showed that you may have a near perfect draft, but that doesn’t mean anything when we get into the season. My two starting running backs in a league are Ezekiel Elliott and LeSean McCoy. I thought I would be looking at an undefeated season with the roster I had, but much like the Patriots, I was…
The week two slate brings some obvious elite plays, but they are certainly priced accordingly. The Patriots are motivated as they head to New Orleans after their loss, but you will have to pay $7,900 for Brady, $8,200 for Cooks, and $6,900 for Gronkowski over at DraftKings. Hefty price tags, but they could be worth it. If you are looking to get elite plays like the three mentioned above, you’ll need to search for salary relief elsewhere. That is exactly what this article is about! These are players who could be valuable and help you with roster construction. They are…
It’s Thursday, which means its time to preview the upcoming NFL action. WEEK 2! Seattle native and Yahoo Sports columnist, Jordan Schultz, makes his debut on the show. We talk about the best overreactions from week 1, then week 2 of FAN vs The FAN Show!
*Rankings updated 9/17* Week one can be summed up with injuries, early draft picks underperforming, and overall poor quarterback play. Seriously, it was bad. Two of the top three scoring quarterbacks are generally known as “game managers,” Alex Smith and Sam Bradford. The rest of the top-five included Stafford, Siemian, and Wentz. Aaron Rodgers finished as QB13, Tom Brady as QB19, and Drew Brees as QB16. If there was a perfect argument for my strategy that I preach every preseason of drafting quarterbacks late, this week was it. Of course, this was only week one. Generally early in the season,…
Fantasy Football Wednesday! Jake Ausman from FlurrySports returns to the show, as we talk fantasy reactions to week one, and who to target on the waiver wire. Plus Mike Stevens is back to talk about his Rams!
We made it through the first week of the NFL season! Hopefully you got a win and escaped without injuries to your roster. Unfortunately, not everyone was this lucky, myself included. The first few weeks on waivers can win or lose you the season, so get your picks in quickly! I will be giving you some suggestions of players you should add or drop, with each player’s ownership in ESPN leagues. Add QB Tyrod Taylor, BUF (16.5%) Tyrod is a player that I suggested to pick up last week, and he makes the list yet again. I suggest you read…
Part 4 of 4! The finale for #FANvsFLURRY as Zach Brunner and I lock in our picks before kickoff, including our Super Bowl predictions! But first, the Wild West. Here we go!
“Are you crazy? Did you eat paint chips as a kid? The season hasn’t even started yet!” A little bit, none of your business, and exactly. Sure, you just drafted what seems to be the fantasy equivalent of the 1992 Dream Team, but don’t be blinded by your confidence. You must always be alert of potential roster moves if you want to bring home the championship this year. While these roster moves I’m about to propose are not vital, you should still consider them. For the players I think you should “add,” I will provide the ownership percentage across ESPN…
We did it! We fought through another football offseason and suffered through an injury-packed preseason. But now, we’re finally here: NFL week one! This week can set the tone for the rest of the season for professional and fantasy teams alike. From a fantasy point of view, much of the fantasy football rankings and opinions are a result of seasons past. There’s only so much to gain from watching preseason football, so do not be surprised to see unknown players scoring in the top-10 or preseason favorites flopping. In an attempt to avoid some of the surprise, you ventured here…
