Lando’s Hotties and Fuglies: Week 8

October 28th, 2009 by Lando | 1 Comment | Filed in Fantasy Football

Ever have one of those weeks where nothing goes right? Especially in Fantasy?

That is exactly what happened to me in Week 7.  I was matched up against Spizz, projected to keep it close and maybe pull out a W.  My team had other plans.  Outside of Darren Sproles and Aaron Rodgers the rest of my team took a dump on my dreams of pummeling my fellow co-writers.  But some things just weren’t meant to be.  Like Matt Forte and Greg Jennings having productive years.  I was so high on the two of you at the start of the season.  Both of you are nearly identical.  Each have had one awesomely amazing week, where I got my hopes up for the season.  Now they are all dashed.  Aaron Rodgers puts up at least 20 points a week, and some how Jennings only gets 5 of those a week.  The Bears offense is much improved with the addition of Jay Cutler.  You’d think that Forte would thrive under a QB who’s able to keep defenses honest.  Instead he fucking fumbles TWICE on the 1 yard line.  Christ I need a drink.

Lots of sexy looking matchups this week.  And I know that there is one question on your mind.  Who does Lando think is hot this week?  And that’s why I am here.  To pull you out of that pit of despair that has you sitting at your computer, wondering which beefcake is going to be beautiful this week.  I’m like a drug.  A pudgy, homoerotic, Titans football loving drug that you just can’t give up.  So lets do this.

Hotties:

  • Steve Slaton:  The Bills run defense is the equivalent to the Titans secondary.  Non-existent.  Slaton has looked great catching the ball out of the back-field for Houston, plus going up against that run d makes him mighty fine looking to Lando.
  • Ronnie Brown:  What did he do a couple of weeks ago to that “great” Jets defense?  Oh yeah, bent them over whilst running the Wildcat to perfection.  Think he can do it again?  Lando does.
  • Marion Barber:  I think that the Dallas Cowboys are playing all wrong.  Two years ago they had a great passing game that was second only to the Patriots.  But that was two years ago.  The Cowboys have one of the deepest RB corps in the league.  They should use it.  And Seattle is as good a place as any to start.  Marion the Barbarian is going to go Medieval on that ass.
  • Aaron Rodgers:  Only player on the Packers team that can put up good numbers consistently.  And he torched the Vikings the last time they met.  Odds are that he’ll put up those same kind of numbers again, and look surprisingly hot doing it.
  • David Garrard:  The Titans have used up their bye week, so my strategy returns.  Start any QB playing against the Titans.  We don’t have anyone to stop him.  Oh feel free to kill me now.
  • Jay Cutler:  My bold prediction for the week.  Cleveland has been known to tear it up, especially on D.  But I’m confident that Cutler will be able to produce.  Even against this world beating defense.
  • Mike Sims-Walker:  Same as Garrard.  Strategy works for receivers too.  He looked like Jerry Rice fused with Optimus Prime against us earlier this year.  He’s gonna do it again. (Lando shoots self in groin.)
  • Miles Austin:  I was not a believer.  But 66 points in two weeks is as good a converter as anything.  Romo likes targeting certain guys, and it looks like Austin has fit the bill.  Don’t think he’ll continue his godlike numbers, but has potential to be solid.
  • The Entire Colts Receiving Corps:  This one is for you Air.
Not ready for him to floss the Titans faces again.

Lando’s Hotties and Fuglies: Week 5

October 7th, 2009 by Lando | 4 Comments | Filed in Fantasy Football

Damn Lando, you’ve got it going on!

The above is a quote from the modern philosopher Rogersworthe.  And you know what?  He’s absolutely right.  Minus a couple of guys, I nailed last weeks Hotties and Fuglies.  Even though he’s my boy, I’ve got one thing to say to Greg Jennings.  Fuck you man.  Fuck you.  You think you’re hot shit in a champagne glass, when you’re really just cold diarrhea in a dixie cup.  How the hell is Aaron Rodgers going to pass for 300 yards and you only get forty of them.  Forty??

Alright did a few lines and now I’m focused and back on track (Cocaine is hell of a drug.)  This is the time of the week, the time when waivers clear and you’re thinking of who’s hot and who’s not.  And as always, here I am, sitting here at my computer,  ready to bless you mere mortals with my fantasy eggs of knowledge.  Time to crack them all over your heads.

Hotties:

  • Peyton Manning:  The guy is a BEAST.  He’s proven that anyone can enter the NFL, even if you’ve been graded your whole life on a curve.  He’s also facing the Titans secondary, which hasn’t been this bad since ‘83.  Look for an amazing week from stupid, sexy Peyton.
  • Tony Homo:  Gay.
  • Joe Flacco:  Man I hate the Ravens aka The Devil’s Handmaidens.  But they’re really good this year, thanks to Flacco.  This proves what a real franchise QB can do for a team.  Take notes Fish.  Oh, and he plays the Bengals who gave up the entire field to Massachuqoitdideakd or whatever his name is.  Cleveland’s rookie.  There we go.
  • Adrian “Killer Croc” Peterson:  Green Bay geared in against him and let Favre peak all over on Monday.  But I saw the commercial that allowed me to give him this amazing nick name.  I’m going to take that as a sign that St. Louis is going to get run over.(Random fact, if you google AP with his shirt off our website is the first result. I take full credit.)  Hot to trot.
  • Steve Slaton:  Took a leaf out of Arnold’s book and came back last week.  Man what a week too.  Guess what?  He’s going to do it again.  Because Arizona blows big D.  Just sayin.
  • Chris Johnson:  Already one of the sexiest players in the league.  And he probably looks amazing with his dreads in a ponytail.
  • Reggie Wayne:  It pains me to write this…  but who do the Titans have to cover him?  Exactly.
  • Andre Johnson:  This guy is the real deal.  He’s a playmaker.  This guy knows how to win. (Was that enough gay ESPN analysis for you?)  But for real, Johnson is going against Arizona.  And if Schaub stays healthy that means oodles upon oodles of points for Andre.
  • Mike Sims-Walker:  This boat is real.  He looked pretty damn good against us last week.  And Seattle’s D isn’t much better.  Not the same numbers but he’s still gonna do good.
Here comes 0-5

Here comes 0-5

Lando’s Hotties and Fuglies: Week 4

September 30th, 2009 by Lando | 12 Comments | Filed in Fantasy Football

It’s another cold day in the sun.

The Titans loss to the Jets leaves a horrible taste in my mouth, and not even crushing the opposition in my fantasy league can wash it away.  Watching your favorite sports team of all time losing but winning in fantasy is like winning ten cents in the lottery.  Moment of silence for the Titans playoff hopes…

Alright back on track for the Hotties and Fuglies of Week 4.  Last week was a tad bit bumpy in the Hotties section thanks to Matt Forte.  What the heck is going on?  You’re lucky I’m a stud and have an insanely deep team or you’d definitely end up on “Lando’s Revenge List.”  But I was on fire with pointing out the Fuggliest of the Fugly last week.  With the exception of Carson Palmer everyone on that list did terribly.  Which just goes to show you that I’m the ONLY one who knows what he’s talking about.

Hotties:

  • Jay Cutler:  Despite his needing a tampon every half, he’s looking surprisingly good this week.  Lions got their first W in 19 games, but Chicago is a sight better on offense then the Redskins.  He’s hot, but in a bitchy way.
  • Eli Manning:   Very solid season so far.  Usually not a top quality QB option for fantasy, but he is having a darn good season.  Playing against the Chiefs is probably one of the easiest things you could ask of him as well.  I could play well against the Chiefs… in Madden.
  • Brett Favre:  John Madden and Peter King know what I’m talking about.
  • Matt Forte:  Dare I say it?  Last week I thought he would have a tremendous game against the terrible, terrible Seahawks.  And he played…. not great.  So this is your final week.  If you don’t get in the God forsaken end zone this week, the list.  That’s all I have to say about you.
  • Adrian “Killer Croc” Peterson:  I have a confession to make.  I’ve been copying and pasting his name for the past three weeks.  The guy is a hoss.  I would let my son come out of the closet for him.  Big game against Green Bay and Croc will step up to the challenge.  I haven’t seen those weird Nike commercials in awhile with him in there.  Guess they got cancelled because everyone was confused and slightly annoyed by them.
  • Cedric Benson:  I know.  I’m as surprised as you are.  If you had told me that the Bengals would be 2-1 and my beloved Titans would be 0-3 I would laugh and tell you to stop huffing all that glue.  Facts are facts though.  Bengals are not half bad and the Browns are.  Nuff said.
  • Greg Jennings:  What is Minnesota’s defense known for besides steroid use and lake house orgies?  Run D.  Not so much for their pass defense.  Jennings is one of the best deep threat receivers in the league in my personal opinion.  And my opinion is usually right.
  • Reggie Wayne:  Must be great to be the ONLY target besides Dallas Clark that Peyton Manning likes to throw to.  Those two are dangerous.  Akon and Michael Jackson agree with me too.
  • The Other Steve Smith:  Him and Eli look amazing.  At least for the week.  It’s a huge trend, everyone is hot against the Chiefs.

Lando’s Hotties and Fuglies: Week 3

September 23rd, 2009 by Lando | No Comments | Filed in Fantasy Football

Week 2.  In French this literally means “worst week in football, fantasy included.”  Titans lose, and to rub salt in the wounds the guy I play has a terrible team and ALL of his players have amazing weeks.  Please shoot me in the groin.  No wait, just go and shoot Greg Jennings in the groin for playing the full game and getting ZERO catches for ZERO yards.  Thanks a lot big guy.  Way to cost me a game.

Well enough of my whining for one article.  The time has come to talk of bigger things.  Of the hot to trot studs of the week.  Oh and the ones that you would want to stay as far away from as possible.  Because most assuredly, if you love fantasy as much as I do, the fuglies will fill your week with misery and woe.  Thanks Greg.  Just going to give you another friendly shout out.

Hotties:

  • Adrian Peterson:  He just can’t get off this list.  Clearly the NFL wants Brett Favre to win another Super Bowl.  San Francisco at home.  Killer Croc could have an off week and still get 90 yards and a score.  Wish I had the first pick in a draft for once.  Just going to say it again for all of you who didn’t hear.  AP is smoking this week.
  • Matt Forte:  Has had a couple of rough weeks.  I think he is going to pull through.  Especially this week going against Seattle who let Frank Gore have his way with them.  Also don’t know if he can take anymore of Cutler’s crying.  Don’t think I’d be able to handle it.
  • Fred Jackson:  Oh Fred, Fred, Fred.  You are my rock.  My anchor.  If my fantasy team could have a face right now it would be you.  Also plays New Orleans, and the last time I looked they just ask for the ball back after every offensive possession and forfeit a TD to the other team.
  • Philip Rivers:  Miami is horrendous against the pass.  Peyton Manning just took them apart piece by piece.  I think Rivers is in for a big week.  Side note, I tried to add taunting as a stat you could get points in.  Turns out you can.  Which makes this guy even hotter.
  • Aaron Rodgers:  The only consistent player on the entire Green Bay team.  If the O-Line can’t protect him against St. Louis than I’ll stop writing these posts.  For a day or two.
  • Marques Colston:  Last week he showed us why New Orleans decided to pick him up in the seventh round.  This guy is hot, and Drew loves to give him the ball.  I would too.
  • Andre Johnson:  To quote the great Homer Simpson,”stupid, sexy Andre Johnson.”  This guy is the best wide out in the league.  And he’s going to put up oodles upon oodles of points this week.  Start him.
  • Whoever Peyton Manning throws to this week:  It’s either Reggie Wayne or Dallas Clark.  I would start either.  Both are OK looking enough to go on a few dates with, and they put out often enough to keep calling.
So glad he shaved that off
